Integrating VCT with Home Based Care St. Francis Community development Programme (FRACODEP) implements an HIV and AIDS home based care (HBC) project for people living with HIV and AIDS (PLWHA) in the three parishes; St. Paul, Rang’ala and Nyango’oma. This community based project is implemented in the 2 parishes of Rang’ala and Nyang’oma in the Archdiocese of Kisumu, which serve approximately 337,060 people. These parishes were selected due to their remote geographical locations and because the parishes comprise vast areas with very limited existing health care services. The project provides new Voluntary Counselling and Testing (VCT) services and promotes family and community involvement in home based care for people infected with and affected by HIV and AIDS. It offers people living with HIV and AIDS in the rural areas an opportunity to access quality care and support through a network of community volunteers recruited through existing and newly formed women’s groups. The project has 11 qualified staff who are supported by over 500 active volunteers, drawn mostly from women’s groups in the communities. 

New infections and re-infection of HIV continue to occur despite various interventions. VCT has a crucial role to play as the entry point to HIV prevention and care. Availability and accessibility to VCTs has facilitated early diagnosis and timely treatment.  Clients who have tested positive continue to receive care and support and live positively, while those who test negative are encouraged to maintain their positive status.  The VCTs services have ensured effective uptake and follow up services including counselling, drug adherence and home based care; hence the delivery of a complete home based care package; and sustainability of the clients and the project. It is anticipated that HIV testing through VCTs will enhance people’s knowledge of their HIV status, behaviour change, improved physical status of clients, increased acceptance of HIV status, reduced stigma at individual, family and community level, disclosure, and positive living. 

The project targeted to reach approximately 3,200 people through provision of VCT related services and has been successful ensuring mobile VCT service penetrates clients who did not have courage to test in public health institutions for fear of stigma. This has subsequently increased the uptake of VCT services.  Post-test clubs and support group formation enhanced behaviour change among the community members as well as positive living among the PLHIV.  Interaction between the positive and negative people in the groups has led to reduced stigma levels within the community.

During this period the project will continue to ensure provision of quality services to the community through trainings, counselling, testing, treatment, psychosocial support and networking with other stakeholders.

Entrenching transparency and accountability in the mining and extractives sector The Association of Member Episcopal Conferences in Eastern Africa (AMECEA) has been implementing a research-based advocacy project on the extractives industries in East Africa.  In 2014, AMECEA conducted a study entitled “Righting the Injustices in the Extractive Industry”. In The study found that most potential mine sites in the region are found in places where the poor live, and they are mostly indigenous peoples but they do not benefit from the wealth beneath their land, they do not adequately and meaningfully participate in decision making process relating to exploration and extraction of minerals within their regions and existing legal frameworks are not responsive to the needs of these communities.

This project has been designed to respond to the recommendations of the study and will focus on building structures at the community level through the church structures to facilitate community sensitization on the mining and extractives sector and raising their capacity to participate in decision making processes on exploration and extraction of minerals.

The project will form regional networks of CSO and hold regions reflection forums to deliberate with duty bearers the pertinent questions of transparency and accountability within the mining and extractives sector.

AMECEA will work with national justice and peace commissions of Kenya and Uganda. Core project areas include coordinate regional reach national advocacy campaigns on mining, comprehensive and independent review of existing mining legislation and bills before parliament that are considered inconsistent with Kenya and Uganda’s Constitutions, international human rights principles and have an impact on access to land rights and justice and will facilitate stakeholder discussions on the findings of legislative audits and recommend appropriate amendments to parliaments. 

The project will cover Kenya and Uganda. Intervention will be implemented at the national level in collaboration with the national bishops’ conference and the national justice and peace commissions. At the diocesan level, the project will work through the diocesan justice and peace commissions. In Kenya, the project will focus on Kwale, Kitui and Lamu counties while in Uganda, the Project will focus on Gulu and Hoima districts. The project period is three years (April 2015 to March 2018) at a budget of £60,000 for year 1, Year two £ 30,000, Year 3, 30,000.

Year one project components entail organisational capacity building of AMECEA Justice and Peace department. Recruitment of appropriate personnel and equipment. A detailed project proposal and budget will be developed by staff to be recruited.

Strengthening Home Based Care through Orphan Support Integrated AIDS Project (IAP) is run by the Assumption Sisters Nairobi. IAP implements activities in Gatundu District curved from the larger Thika District in Central Province of Kenyan. The larger programme serves People living with HIV and AIDS (PLWHA) and their families including Orphans and Vulnerable Children (OVCs). The main project activities include VCT centres, HIV and AIDS and health education, OVC support activities and home based care (HBC). 

The geographical coverage of the proposed project will be limited to three sub-locations namely; Kamwangi, Kanyoni and Mbici of Gathaite Location. Basic health services are lacking in the remote areas/sub-locations (commonly known to IAP as the Upper Zone) targeted. This project aspires to alleviate the suffering of PLWHA and OVCs by supporting communities in managing HIV and AIDS community facilities and investments for themselves.

A majority of OVCs live within dehumanizing conditions with very poor shelters, poor clothing, beddings, inadequate food, isolated and stigmatized by neighbours or close relatives and eventually dropping out of school due to lack of school fees and educational materials. The girl-child especially takes parental responsibilities when too young since she has practically to feed for her siblings.  Such demands commonly militate the girl dropping from school, being sexually exploited, subsequent early pregnancy and at times early marriage. The boy-child easily falls prey of peers who recruit him in drug and substance abuse, is exploited as cheap labour while others resort to juvenile crime for survival.

Most guardians are elderly women and men left with the burden of starting to raise families of OVCs in old age. Majority of these guardians have no income of their own. The experience is overwhelming and traumatising following on loss and grief. The psychosocial trauma exhibited by both the guardians and the OVCs are of a complex nature leading to first level of depression. 

Directly beneficiaries are OVCs as a result of AIDS. The proposed project will endeavour to provide the necessary care and support to the most vulnerable children in terms of economic empowerment, educational improvement, psychosocial support, community mobilisation and sensitisation for support of OVCs and awareness creation for the local leadership on the plight of OVCs. Secondary target beneficiaries are the guardians who are aged, sickly and lack resources to support OVCs under their care.
Isiolo Humanitarian Assistance Project This project will expand on the current humanitarian response work undertaken by the Diocese’s Development Office and build on the ongoing response work that has been going on since December 2008 . This component is an attempt to contribute to the alleviation of the suffering as a result of the escalation of the drought situation in Northern Kenya and particularly in Isiolo District. The additional activities is in response to the continuing deterioration of the drought situation and food security situation in Northern Kenya and also an attempt to respond to the appeal by the Government of Kenya (GoK) following the declaration of the drought and food crisis a national disaster on 16th January 2009.

Kyatune Sustainable Livelihoods and Disaster Risk Reduction Project The Kyatune Sustainable Livelihoods and Disaster Risk Reduction Project is a pilot phase intended to serve the community living in Kyatune Location in Kitui District. The project targets 2,000 most poor and vulnerable drought-prone individuals in the location.

The overarching goal of the proposed project is ‘to improve resilience of most poor vulnerable drought-prone communities of Kyatune through creation of economic community based assets to mitigate the effects of drought and climate change’

The project aims at achieving four major closely interrelated outcomes. Firstly; improved capacity for the local communities residing in Kyatune to prepare and mitigate against the effects of droughts and other natural calamities by 2012 through training local leaders on DRR, drought contingency planning, awareness creation on DRR and climate change, formation of Early Warning Groups and preparation and dissemination of early warning information, establishment of tree nurseries and planting of ecologically friendly trees. Secondly, Increased availability, access and management of water for domestic, agricultural and livestock production through out the dry season by 2012 through construction and protection of water structures through voucher for work system, formation and training of Water User Associations on water management and DRR, awareness creation on hygiene and sanitation and construction of ar-baloo toilet slabs for the most poor and vulnerable households. Thirdly; increased food production through better farming technologies such as community demonstration farms, green houses at household level, drip/watering irrigation instead of relying on rain-fed agriculture, support for horticultural crops, vegetable and fruit tree growing, preparation and application of compost manure, training on conservation agriculture, establishment of producer marketing groups, awareness creation on drought tolerant crops and establishment of seed banks. Finally; the project also aims at achieving increased household incomes through improved market access for sale of farm produce. This outcome will be achieved through supporting most affected households with ghalla goats and bucks, training Community Animal Health Assistants (paravets) on animal husbandry, increasing farmers’ access to market information through establishment of market information centres and boards and supporting farmers to establish market linkages. Further, energy saving technologies will be incorporated in the training sessions. 

The project will utilize the existing Diocesan Church structures especially the Parishes to reach out to the intended beneficiaries. The project will also collect and analyze gender-specific information on the participation of women and other vulnerable groups. The project will take into consideration the interests of women, children, youth and poor men as well as the voices of the community leaders and other individuals and community based groups in ensuring that human rights upheld.
