Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric Aids Foundation (EGPAF) Umbrella project, through the TUNAWEZA consortium- under the leadership of EGPAF, has developed a strategy that integrates an innovative mix of financial support and technical assistance. The implementation framework for the TUNAWEZA project includes leadership development; HIV prevention, care, treatment and program implementation support; resource allocation and management; and monitoring and evaluation. The project strategy includes building capacity for indigenous organizations in the areas of organizational development for sustainability, technical capacity building for evidence-based programming and strategic information management.

EGPAF Umbrella will build the organizational and technical capacity of Kenyan organizations and provide sub-grants to NGOs, FBOs, and CBOs, resulting in the provision of care and support services for 300 children in 5 facilities and programs, in addition to providing training for 30 individuals in delivery of HIV-related palliative care services. The key activities of the EGPAF Umbrella project are to develop the organizational and technical capacity of local, preferably indigenous, organizations and provide supportive supervision. Funds granted through EGPAF Umbrella to sub-partners will be used to provide a standard package of palliative care services, including support for health care worker salaries in accordance with PEPFAR guidance; training; infrastructure improvement; community mobilization activities; HIV counseling and testing; support for laboratory evaluation; prevention and treatment of opportunistic infections; positive prevention activities; expanded access to safe water; and malaria prevention interventions. This activity will expand existing Kenyan programs and identify and add new sub-partners. Capacity building activities will include both strengthening of administrative operations (such as planning and accounting) and technical capacity (specific technical ability to implement clinical care programs, logistics and commodity forecasting, and routine program monitoring and evaluation activities). This activity will include support to sub-recipients for activities integral to the program.
