1. Overall goals and objectives

IDI is a Uganda NGO, owned by Makerere University, which focuses on building capacity of health systems for the delivery of sustainable, high quality services for the prevention, care and treatment of HIV/AIDS and related infectious diseases. The major IDI programs include; training, research, advanced clinical services, laboratory services and community or facility outreach services.

HIV/AIDS care services in the KCC clinics have previously been provided by multiple partners who include; IDI, Baylor, MJAP and PREFA. This project will be implemented solely by IDI in partnership with the Kampala District Health office IDI will offer an "integrated comprehensive package" with a "one command center" composed of IDI, the Kampala district health office and any other implementing partners within the targeted ten KCC health facilities. The project will establish a family based model of care that offers all available services including Testing and Counseling, Laboratory services, adult and pediatric care and treatment, PMTCT and TB/HIV integration. The patient flow system will be developed for each health facility so that there is emphasis on inter-linkages at the health unit (internal referrals) and an organized external referral system. IDI will support KCC to play its mid-level supervisory and service delivery role as per MoH guidelines and will actively support KCC management to harmonize active partners in the 10 KCC clinics. IDI will support KCC to lead a "greater network" of KCC service providers and enhance active KCC leadership in HIV care services within in Kampala City Council. The project will sponsor the development and continuous review of a district wide HIV/AIDS services sustainability plan for the KCC DHO and support a monitoring and evaluation framework of the plan

2. Target populations and geographic coverage

The project will be implemented in Kampala district through all the ten Kampala City Council clinics extending in future to all the PNFP or PFP HIV/AIDS care health facilities under the KCC jurisdiction. Kampala is both the commercial and political capital of Uganda. It has a day time population of 2.3M and is divided into 5 administrative divisions: Central, Nakawa, Makindye, Kawempe and Rubaga Divisions. KCC is responsible for the social services in the city including health service delivery through over 67 health facilities that include KCC clinics, other specialized government clinics, PNFP units PFP units and large company clinics all of which provide ART to about 50,660 patients. KCC management is directly responsible for 10 health units (3 HC IVs, 5 HC IIIs and 2 HC IIs)

3. Enhancing cost effectiveness and sustainability

Capacity building of KCC is at the core of this program and it will be an ongoing process throughout the life of the project. KCC capacity building activities will be informed by the "capacity building pyramid"; IDI's nontraditional approach to capacity building which recognizes the various types of inter-related levels that need to be built in a systematic manner if the efficiency and effectiveness of the health system is to be enhanced. It will be based on sound understanding of the local context and grounded in the local context to facilitate local ownership and long lasting benefits from the project

4. Health Systems Strengthening

The six WHO building blocks for HSS (service delivery, health work force, information, medical products, vaccines and technologies, financing and leadership/governance) provide a useful framework to guiding the strengthening of KCC health systems in order to improve quality, access, coverage and safety of health services that in turn lead to improved health, efficiency responsiveness and sustainability. Strengthening activities will occur in all six building blocks during the project period. In "service delivery" building block, IDI will pay special attention to quality care focusing on improvements in HIV/AIDS care and treatment, laboratory, PMTCT, TB/HIV and pediatric services. The twin concepts of the WHO system building blocks and the IDI capacity building pyramid will be fused to ensure that the project takes a comprehensive balanced and logical approach to maximize out-puts

5. Cross-Cutting Budget Attributions a. Human Resources for Health

Kampala, the project area is divided into 5 administrative divisions: Central, Nakawa, Makindye, Kawempe and

Rubaga Divisions. KCC is responsible for social services in the city including health service delivery provided through over 67 health facilities that include KCC clinics, other specialized government clinics, PNFP units PFP units and large company clinics all of which provide ART to a combined figure of about 50,660 patients. KCC management is directly responsible for 10 health units (3 HC IVs, 5 HC IIIs and 2 HC IIs) through which care to 22,000 individuals will be provided through 2015.

2. Description of service delivery or other activity carried out

Mulago hospital being the Kampala district hospital bears the brunt of the burden of care for HIV infection due to little capacity at the lower level KCC health units. From 2009, the scope and magnitude of HIV/AIDS services in Kampala has greatly improved through the efforts of multiple partners that include IDI, Baylor Uganda, MJAP and PREFA. The project will establish a family based model of care that offers all available services beyond care and support including Testing and Counseling, Laboratory services, adult and pediatric care and treatment, PMTCT and TB/HIV integration. All patients; approximately 22,000 will be screened for TB symptoms at contact with health care providers and all TB patients will be counseled and tested for HIV. This will ensure intensified case finding. The patient flow system will be developed for each health facility so that there is emphasis on inter-linkages with the TB clinic at the health unit (internal referrals) and an organized external referral system and community follow up or support mechanism.

3. Integration with other health activities

The IDI program will offer and integrated comprehensive package of services. The family based model of care will ensure that all services available including counseling and testing, adult care and support, laboratory services, PMTCT, TB services are available on the same day and. Linkages/referrals both internal and external will be strengthened for other services like family planning, Livelihoods etc and partnerships with nutritional programs like Nulife will be strengthened.

4. Relation to the national program

Leveraging resources from the GoU, MoH will enhance the KCC health program. The program will work closely with MoH to implement MoH guidelines regarding supply chain management, providing information to feed into the planning and monitoring process. The project will ensure that clinics are collecting data related to PICT, Pre-ART and ART delivery to effectively monitor patients. IDI will upgrade all patient information systems in line with MoH HMIS to ensure a standardized, sustainable and efficient system for data collection, collation, monitoring and feedback

5. Health Systems Strengthening and Human Resources for Health

The six WHO building blocks for HSS (service delivery, health work force, information, medical products, vaccines and technologies, financing and leadership/governance) provide a useful framework to guiding the strengthening of KCC health systems in order to improve quality, access, coverage and safety of health services that in turn lead to improved health, efficiency responsiveness and sustainability. Strengthening activities will occur in all six building blocks during the project period. In "service delivery" building block, IDI will pay special attention to quality care focusing on improvements in HIV/AIDS care and treatment, laboratory, PMTCT, TB/HIV and pediatric services. The twin concepts of the WHO system building blocks and the IDI capacity building pyramid will be fused to ensure that the project takes a comprehensive balanced and logical approach to maximize out-puts

The IDI project will support multiple strategies that include supporting the district service commission to hire any outstanding staff positions, implement task shifting/sharing (nurse/pharmacy visits), short term technical assistance and training of staff
