PRISONS

This activity will continue to provide TA to MOPS on National HIV Implementation in Prisons Guidelines (developed with COP10 funds). It will provide advocacy and awareness-raising among prison staff and prisoners on HIV/AIDS in general, and more specifically on prevention of HIV transmission and acquisition among prisoners and to the broader community. The activity may also provide technical support to Global Fund HIV Round 9's prison component, and where possible leverage GF resources to provide the continuum of prevention, care, support and treatment services to prisoners, as well as the promotion of case management practice when to transition prisoners back to community. The activity will ensure linkages with existing prison-related work with the Ministry of Public Security (MOPS).

POLICE

This activity will focus on providing advocacy and sensitization on harm reduction issues to MOPS as well as to local law enforcement officers, and will result in their improved understanding of and attitudes towards HIV prevention among vulnerable at-risk populations, including people who use drugs and sex workers. The partner will strive to raise awareness of sensitive topics specifically around distribution of key HIV prevention commodities, including clean needles and syringes as well as condoms, and on the importance of MAT for recovering drug users. The primary objective will be to engage law enforcement officials to be active collaborators in harm reduction and HIV prevention activities, as well as to promote a stronger inter-ministerial partnership specifically between MOH, MOPS, and MOLISA.
