Thematic Areas: HIV/AIDS and OVCs

Institutional development of HIV projects in Africa

 Over the past 27 years, nearly 25 million people have died from AIDS. HIV/AIDS has complicated efforts to fight poverty, improve health, and promote development. From early 2000 we have been providing institutional development support for HIV/AIDS projects across Africa, including strategic planning, advising on Results Based Management planning and performance monitoring frameworks, undertaking project evaluations and development of fundraising and marketing strategies for our clients who include:  Regional Aids Training Network (RATN), Hope for African Children Initiative (HACI), Family Health International (FHI), Strengthening STD/HIV Control in Kenya Project, Liverpool VCT Kenya, the Embassy of Finland (Community Based HIV/AIDS Care within Naivasha and Environs Project) and Christian Mission Aid/Compassion Canada. 

Current activities include:

• Evaluation of Hope for African Children Initiative (HACI), a pan-African, multi partner project (NI is worked in partnership with RATN for this process)

Past projects undertaken include:

• Evaluation of SIDA supported UNICEF programme on OVCs and child rights in Zimbabwe, Zambia, Tanzania and Botswana;
• Preparation of a monitoring and evaluation strategy for HIV training in Eastern and Southern Africa for RATN (November 2005 – March 2006);
• Facilitating capacity development processes for community organisations addressing HIV-vulnerable groups;
• Assisting RATN in development of fundraising capacity and
• Development of a national strategy on blood donor mobilization for Kenya (Family Health International, Sept.’02 to Feb.’03).
