Summary:
- HIV compromises the nutritional status of infected individuals and malnutrition worsens the effects of the disease. Nutrition interventions can help break this cycle by helping PLHIV manage symptoms, reduce susceptibility to opportunistic infections, improve nutritional status, promote response to medical treatment, and improve overall quality of life. Specifically,with support from USAID and PEPFAR, FANTA-2:
a) provides technical assistance to strengthen nutrition assessment, counseling, and support for PLHIV;
b) improves food assistance security programming in the context of HIV;
c) produces and disseminates program guidance on nutritional care and support interventions;
d) helps countries in east and southern Africa adapt HIV-nutrition guidance to their specific contexts through national guidelines, training curricula and programs, counseling materials, monitoring and evaluation support, and capacity-building activities;
e) provides in-country support to integrate and scale up nutrition interventions in HIV services in Kenya, Namibia, Rwanda, Uganda, and Zambia;
f) strengthens the evidence base about the impacts of food supplementation on malnourished PLHIV;
g) supports randomized controlled evaluations in Malawi and Kenya; and
h) supports improved program design and monitoring and evaluation of food-assisted programs addressing HIV and its impacts through technical assistance to USAID.

Summary:
- Community health workers (CHWs) — the core of the community strategy
— are expected to mobilize and energize communities to take charge of their
own health. The approach used in this Training Guide harnesses capacity for
improving WASH practices by having CHWs negotiate small doable actions
that individuals and families can take to improve their behavior incrementally
while working toward an ideal practice. This approach is more likely to lead to sustained behavior change by ensuring that families identify feasible but effective actions that they can practice correctly and consistently, thereby improving the likelihood that the practice will be maintained over time. It also supports incremental change; once smaller successes are realized, families feel ready to take on bigger challenges.

Summary:
- The objective of the ZIMWASH project is to strengthen the capacity of civil society and local government in Zimbabwe to provide sustainable integrated water, sanitation and hygiene services that address the needs of the rural poor, especially those of people infected and affected by HIV/AIDS. It was against this background that a training of trainers workshop on Participatory Health and Hygiene Education (focusing on HIV and AIDS) was conducted in Hwange District. This manual provides the schedule and training materials for the five-day workshop.

Summary:
- The toolkit was developed to provide people working in the HIV/AIDS field—especially USG PEPFAR Coordinators and USAID HIV field staff —with a set of flexible materials to raise their own understanding and help them facilitate better programming for WASH in PEPFAR Country Operational Plans. The aim is to help people at all levels to more effectively prevent diarrheal disease and other unnecessary illnesses, using simple, effective, low-input strategies that may have not been addressed by PEPFAR programs in the past. The emphasis of this programming guidance is to “mainstream” water, sanitation and hygiene interventions—to make them a regular part of all behavior change and education activities in HIV/AIDS programs.

Summary:
- This curriculum draws on the experience of
Pathfinder staff who put into practice a model of community home-based care (CHBC) in Kenya, Tanzania, Ethiopia, Nigeria, and Uganda. Pathfinder’s CHBC model, piloted by COPHIA in Kenya, emphasizes community mobilization for prevention as well as participation in care and support for those affected by HIV/AIDS. In recent
years, Pathfinder has integrated prevention of mother-to-child transmission (PMTCT), family planning, and other reproductive health initiatives into its CHBC programs in Kenya and Tanzania.

Summary:
- The goal of the workshop is to build participants’ skills in monitoring and planning evaluations of community home-based care programs. At the end of this session, participants will be able to: a) understand the components of community home-based care (CHBC) that need to be monitored; b) develop home-based care (HBC)-specific process indicators; c) identify appropriate monitoring and evaluation methodologies and tools; and d) appreciate better the different data uses and how they influence data collection and analysis.

Summary:
- This toolkit was written by AIDS activists from over 50 nongovernmental
organizations in Ethiopia, Tanzania and Zambia. They participated in workshops where they explored the implications of stigma and designed the exercises on different aspects of stigma. The Toolkit is a resource collection of participatory educational exercises for use in raising awareness and promoting action to challenge HIV stigma. Trainers can select from the exercises to plan their own courses for different target groups—both AIDS
professionals and community groups.
