What the grant funds

PEPFAR Small Grants recognizes the importance of engaging with communities in the development and implementation of HIV programming. PEPFAR will attempt to support at least one community-led monitoring initiative in each of Zimbabwe’s 10 provinces. Further, PEPFAR is trying to improve its reach among underserved and marginalized populations including men who have sex with men (MSM), transgender populations (TG), intersex populations, bisexual and queer women, sex workers, people with disabilities, religious minorities, youth ages 15-29, people who use and inject drugs, among others. Proposals targeting these focus populations will be prioritized. PEPFAR is also supporting the Advocacy Core Team (ACT) to provide capacity building assistance to the selected grantees. ACT will aggregate CLM results supported by small grants recipients across the country. These results will be shared through the national CLM steering committee convened by the Ministry of Health and Child Care (MOHCC) and the national AIDS Council (NAC). In partnership with PEPFAR, the MOHCC, and the National AIDS Council, ACT will conduct quarterly reviews of client feedback collected from all stakeholders (including CLM Small Grant recipients) to help the national health institutions and PEPFAR programs diagnose and pinpoint persistent problems, challenges, and barriers with service uptake of HIV prevention and treatment services. To facilitate and ensure all ten provinces and client constituencies are represented, PEPFAR is seeking community organizations from each province, and community groups with high unmet needs, to collect feedback on client experiences. Specific deliverables include: 1. Data collection and documentation of challenges, best practices and/or issues identified at facilities across the PEPFAR DSD districts on specific population groups using standardized tools. 2. Conduct monitoring of HIV testing services (HTS); HIV treatment services (including retention and viral load); service provider perceptions, attitudes, and practices; client satisfaction. 3. Demand creation for HTS and viral load testing. 4. Participate in health facility structure feedback meetings (e.g., health center committees). 5. Establish facility structure feedback meetings in facilities where none exist. 6. Site-level advocacy (social contracts with duty bearers). 7. Monthly sharing of results and feedback with PEFPAR and other key stakeholders and make actionable recommendations. 8.
