This activity will scale up provision of positive prevention (PP) services to reduce onward transmission of HIV and improve well-being of people living with HIV (PLHIV). These activities are linked to Partnership Framework goal 1. Each province will have a focal person / technical counterpart for PP activities to coordinate and ensure successful implementation and monitoring of PP activities. Cross-cutting gender focus, including status disclosure and GBC concerns, are embedded in this project.

Geographic focus is national in scope. Target population is PLHIV. UCSF will ensure that 95% of PEPFAR-supported care and treatment facility staff receive PP training.

Expenditure analysis methodology has not yet been developed for PP.

This project contributes to system strengthening through development and capacity-building of a cross-cutting national technical working group. Training activities contribute to front-line staff capacity. The PP program will improve the quality of care to the HIV patients in Pre-ART and ART. The Provincial and District Ministry of Health capacity will increase through PP training, supportive supervision, technical and managerial support; and improving HIV services integration.

National M&E systems are being developed for PP through this project, further contributing to system strengthening. The M&E plan for this area is still under development. The national PP technical working group headed by MOH has been tasked to develop this M&E plan and a national PP strategy which will include clear guidance on how to roll-out PP intervention at facility and community levels. In FY12 the first round of complete data for PP activities is expected.

Pipeline analysis results showed normal pipeline within established parameters.

No vehicles are requested.
