What concepts underlie this Project? Low prevalence countries: to be cost-
effective, interventions need to be targeted to high risk situations
Assumption: link between mobility and vulnerability to HIV
Need for specific intervention strategies in each situation
Availability of in-country existing prevention packages, management structures and technical know-how.
![Page 7: “Community Action for Preventing HIV/AIDS”](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062723/5681400c550346895dab44ca/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Objectives:
to support a comprehensive set of HIV/AIDS prevention activities in situations of particular risk (“hot spots”)
to strengthen the capacity of national and local HIV authorities and selected NGOs to develop community-based prevention and care programmes.

Fund flow: Countries establish imprest accounts (usually in Ministries
of Finance/Economy) with initial withdrawals (advances) from ADB of $200,000 - $400,000
The imprest accounts are operated and audited by the EAs in accordance with ADB procedures
The IAs have sub-accounts and receive advances from the EA based on upon the work plans developed by the IAs
The IAs maintain their sub-accounts following specified procedures for the use of funds, reporting, auditing, etc
Provinces function as IAs and also have sub-accounts, operated in the same way
Statements of Expenditures (SOEs) by IAs are used to liquidate and replenish the advances.

Project activities are concentrated in six areas: Evidence-based programming Social marketing of condoms STI services IEC/BCC Models of Care Strengthening provincial capacity
![Page 16: “Community Action for Preventing HIV/AIDS”](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062723/5681400c550346895dab44ca/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
1. Evidence-based programming: project activities in the three provinces are
based on careful and thorough assessments of risk situations; the nature and extent of risk involved, populations groups or behaviours involved, and the most effective ways to respond to them.
![Page 17: “Community Action for Preventing HIV/AIDS”](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062723/5681400c550346895dab44ca/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
2. Social marketing of condoms: The Project supports the extension of
social marketing of condoms to the target populations in the three provinces
![Page 18: “Community Action for Preventing HIV/AIDS”](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062723/5681400c550346895dab44ca/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
3. STI services
The project is strengthening STI services where managing STI will significantly reduce HIV transmission risk
![Page 19: “Community Action for Preventing HIV/AIDS”](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062723/5681400c550346895dab44ca/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
4. IEC/BCC for Peer Education and Behaviour change:
The project supports carefully designed and targeted information, peer education and advocacy plans in each province, to ensure that all sections of society know about HIV and AIDS, know how to protect themselves, know how to live with people who have HIV or AIDS, and know how important protecting the community against HIV and AIDS is.
![Page 20: “Community Action for Preventing HIV/AIDS”](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062723/5681400c550346895dab44ca/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
5. Models of comprehensive AIDS care: The project supports the development of
appropriate models of comprehensive care for PLWHA, linking testing and counseling services, institutional/clinical care, home and community care, and hospice care for terminal situations.
![Page 21: “Community Action for Preventing HIV/AIDS”](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062723/5681400c550346895dab44ca/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
6. Strengthening the capacity of Provincial HIV/AIDS units: The key to effective implementation lies in a
shared responsibility between Provincial Health Departments (PHD) and the Provincial AIDS units, and central level (NCHADS, NCCA-B, AIDS Division). The central level develops overall strategy and guidelines for implementation of programme components; the provinces develop operational plans, based on these guidelines. Many other partners, such as other departments, NGOs and community organizations are also brought in for implementation.
![Page 22: “Community Action for Preventing HIV/AIDS”](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062723/5681400c550346895dab44ca/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
The project is INNOVATIVE:
it makes large budgets available for implementation at provincial level
it uses established channels for fund flow it is based on national strategies it is relatively un-programmed: it is up to
the provinces to decide exactly what they want to do
it encourages partnerships
![Page 23: “Community Action for Preventing HIV/AIDS”](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062723/5681400c550346895dab44ca/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)

This has BENEFITS:
Ownership: Ministries of Health clearly own the project
Flexibility: responds to real needs in real time
Efficiency: uses established channels and structures
![Page 25: “Community Action for Preventing HIV/AIDS”](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062723/5681400c550346895dab44ca/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
But it also has RISKS:
strategies and plans need to be clearly established, reviewed and up-dated
planning, implementation and ACCOUNTABILITY capability must be ensured at provincial level
channels and structures must be flexible enough to cope with the innovative elements of the project
![Page 26: “Community Action for Preventing HIV/AIDS”](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062723/5681400c550346895dab44ca/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Present Status: Technically well-established: international &
local staff recruited; components based on identified operational strategies; implementation mechanisms in place; planning, monitoring and reporting systems functioning
But requires a significant and sustained increase in disbursements well above accustomed levels in ALL countries
So priority to support managerial and administrative capacity at both provincial and central level
Initial slow implementation at grass-root level will significantly accelerate in the rest of this year

THE ASIAN DEVELOPMENT BANK (ADB): FIGHTING POVERTY IN ASIA The Asian Development Bank (ADB) is working to
reduce poverty in Asia; and a part of this overall development strategy has been strengthening infrastructure for primary health care, and improving the quality of health services. Reducing the spread of HIV/AIDS within the context of health care systems is particularly important. Ill-health, whether caused by HIV and AIDS or not, is an important cause of poverty; and poverty is a major reason why health services, and particularly HIV-related prevention services, are underutilized.
