KHM.S4 Coordination, coherence and convening The ECOSOC Resolution (E/RES/2013/11) cites the Joint Programme as an example of good practice for the UN as a whole to enhance strategic coherence, coordination and results-based focus and country-level impact in the post-2015 period. In 2016-2021, the Joint Programme will support a ‘One United Nations’, working closely with Cosponsors, maximizing comparative advantages at country level in relation to other development partners, and supporting national efforts to Fast-Track the AIDS response towards ending the AIDS epidemic as a public health threat by 2030. The Secretariat will broker, strengthen and leverage synergy and accountability between technical support mechanisms and providers of essential HIV services
(2022-2023) KHM.S2 Partnerships, mobilization and innovation The UNAIDS Secretariat enhances political will, convene strategic initiatives and partnerships, and foster mobilization of sustainable resources. It provides thought leadership, advocacy, knowledge management and communities of practice, and normative and operational guidance, tools and implementation support for a rights-based, gender transformative response––including through innovative, community- and youth-led approaches. The aim is to achieve expanded access to HIV services, catalyze action on societal enablers, engender increasingly competent and resilient communities, including in the face of human rights and health crises, and increase accountability from duty bearers to rights holders.
(2022-2023) KHM.S1 Leadership, advocacy and communications The UNAIDS Secretariat engages political leaders, high level platforms, activists, champions and other key stakeholders to maintain and enhance the multisectoral response, in order to address the multidimensional nature of the global AIDS epidemic and in support of ending AIDS, reducing inequalities and accelerating progress towards the Sustainable Development Goals.
KHM.S3 Strategic information for an evidence informed response and global political agenda The UNAIDS Secretariat advocates for and facilitates the generation of strategic information for an optimally effective, evidence-informed, rights-based and gender-sensitive AIDS response. The Secretariat provides guidance on the collection of relevant data through surveillance, surveys and programme monitoring, collects and synthesizes key data on the epidemic and the response to track and evaluate progress towards ending the AIDS epidemic by 2030
(2022-2023) KHM.S3 Strategic information In accordance with its mandate to collect pertinent data from countries and report progress towards global HIV response targets, the UNAIDS Secretariat leads the HIV response tracking and reporting, support the identification of inequalities in the HIV response and enhance countries’ strategic information capacities on the HIV epidemic and response with regards to: epidemiological status; demographic impact; HIV financial flows and expenditures; prevention, treatment and care gaps; laws and policies and the scale-up and implementation of monitoring and evaluation efforts.
KHM.S5 Mutual accountability The Secretariat is responsible for ensuring mutual accountability of the Joint Programme to optimally deliver on the Joint Programme’s shared mission, vision and Strategy. This demands strategic coherence, a results-based focus, alignment of resources with corporate priorities, and ensuring that the Joint Programme speaks with one voice. In collaboration with partners, the Joint Programme will work to generate political momentum and capital to position AIDS and the Joint Programme in the wider post-2015 development agenda and leverage the unique experience of the Joint Programme to strengthen effective UN governance, in particular by strengthening the means of implementation and revitalizing the global partnership for sustainable development to end the AIDS epidemic as a public health threat by 2030, as provided in the SDGs
KHM.S2 Effective and inclusive partnerships for impact and sustainability The UNAIDS Secretariat continues to strengthen dialogue between governments, affected communities, and other stakeholders for progressive global policy. The evolving context and development agenda demands a renewed Joint Programme approach to partnerships
(2022-2023) KHM.S4 Coordination, convening and country implementation support Building on the accumulated expertise, systems and partnerships of the HIV response and on broader health and development efforts, the UNAIDS Secretariat works with countries and communities to strengthen national mechanisms for effective coordination and coherence. UN Joint Teams on AIDS in countries and other regional interagency mechanisms support inclusive and sustainable national HIV responses that promote a whole-of-government and whole-of society efforts to end inequalities and end AIDS as a public health threat. Together with communities and duty bearers, the Joint Teams use an inequalities lens to identify people who are being left behind and to urgently reduce the inequalities, inequities and exclusion experienced by people living with, affected by and at risk of HIV, including in humanitarian or other extreme circumstances.
(2022-2023) KHM.S5 Governance and Mutual Accountability The UNAIDS Secretariat mobilizes, facilitate and support Member States’ and other PCB stakeholders’ equal and effective engagement in the work and governance of the Joint Programme and in its contribution to deliver on the Global AIDS Strategy and the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.

HIV & AIDS  Prevention Programme for MSM & SW in Kenya Men who have sex with men and sex workers have disproportionately high levels of HIV in Kenya, accounting for almost a third of all new HIV infections. Because their risk behaviour is stigmatised and/or illegal, they are driven underground and are not reached by mainstream HIV programmes.  These populations have been identified in Kenya's national HIV strategy as requiring more targeted HIV prevention and care services. Sex workers and men who have sex with men will be trained to reach their peers with targeted and appropriate HIV testing, counselling and other services. Condoms, suitable lubricants, and targeted appropriate education materials will help people reduce their risk of HIV. Health workers serving these groups will be trained to provide non-discriminatory care. Partners will challenge policies and laws that criminalise and discriminate against these groups. Activities will focus in Nyanza and Nairobi, two regions of Kenya with the highest HIV prevalence. These activities will ensure that these marginalised groups can protect themselves from HIV, get tested, and if positive, are not stigmatised or discriminated against when they use mainstream care and support services. There will also be opportunities provided for vocational training and access to micro-credit schemes for this vulnerable group.
Pop-up Community Food Hubs: a revolutionary way to invest in food and income sec People living in the remote areas of the Karamoja region are the poorest in Uganda facing long periods of food shortages due to extreme floods and droughts and cattle raiding. Even when the growing season is good lack of storage means food runs out before the next harvest and prices rise rapidly. Over the last two years a UK charity has worked with a locally based community enterprise to set up a food storage facility known as a Food Hub. This one food hub has benefitted over 1000 farmers and families through increased income and food security. This project aims to gather the information necessary to set up Food Hubs throughout the region.
Empowering young female slum dwellers to tackle gender based violence in Lusaka Up to 90% of women in Zambia experience intimate partner violence and a high proportion of those living in informal settlements in Lusaka.  Many are unemployed, engage in transactional sex and regularly experience violence as a result. This project will create spaces where women can share their experiences, get counselling, and understand their rights.  Working with social services, the police and others will strengthen women’s access to justice. Some women will also receive support to help them create small businesses. It will also work with younger men and as part of an existing campaign encouraging them to reject violence against women and become positive role models themselves.
TuWezesha Akina Dada- Africa UK Young Women?s Leadership and Empowerment Movemen The project addresses the problem of violence against women and girls (VAWG) which continues to be a major violation of human rights globally adversely affect the health, development and progress of women and girls. Gender based violence in all its forms is fuelled and shaped by social norms, religious and traditional beliefs and practices that contribute significantly to gender inequality, resulting in physical, sexual and or psychological harm and suffering to women and girls. Girls and young women often experience multiple forms of violence including female genital mutilation (FGM), child marriage, domestic and sexual violence and trafficking, and yet fail to access the needed support.
Every child needs a good teacher (Mali) Mali has made progress in improving access to education over the last few years but education statistics are still bleak. According to the World Bank in 2010, one in four children (half a million in total) do not go to primary school at all and only just over half complete primary school. A major reason for this is that there are not enough trained teachers, particularly outside the public education system. About 40% of children attend community or religious schools as opposed to government schools, mainly in rural areas. These schools have played a pivotal role in increasing access to education, but the vast majority of teachers are not qualified and many are not trained. There is a government policy in place to progressively transform community schools into public schools in Mali over the next five years. Many community teachers hope this will offer a pathway towards qualification and formalisation of their status. This application aims to improve the quality of teaching in Mali by incorporating a locally-developed ‘competence framework' into teacher training to ensure that all teachers reach a nationally accepted standard for qualification. This will be used to help integrate a large number of community teachers into the formal education system.  The approach will be piloted in Ségou, one of eight provinces in Mali. All 2,500 community teachers in Ségou will be part of a professional development programme to upgrade their skills.  At the same time, the partners will advocate for community teachers to achieve the same status as public teachers in the long-term and popularise the content of the competence profile in different regions, so that parents, teachers and children also know what to expect of a ‘good' teacher.  Pupils, as well as teachers, will benefit.  Over 80,000 children go to community schools in Ségou.  The project expects to achieve a 20% increase in the number of these pupils passing annual exams and completing primary school on time.
Livelihood Security in a Changing Environment - Mashonaland East GOAL 1: A registered network of organic producer associations, with increased productive capacity, status and access to markets. GOAL 2: Public policy influenced towards the formal establishment of Zimbabwe’s organic sector. This innovative project will respond to the challenges presented by decades of dependence on expensive agricultural inputs - resulting in dramatic biodiversity and livelihood loss affecting the smallholder sector - for which there are few avenues for advice and marketing of their, often derided, natural produce. This project will promote a shift in production methods by providing intensive training in OCA and on-farm support to 672 smallholders - encouraging diversification and species adaptation, to increase production and distribution of food and plant-based agricultural inputs to local markets. Raising the status of resource-poor natural producers via organic registration and advocacy is an important strategy which will capitalise on increasing domestic demand for organic produce – currently serviced by South African imports. This hands-on approach requires the training team and consultants to be on the ground to undertake expansive on-farm support, detailed market research/advocacy, PAR and M&E in order to fine-tune and prepare for roll-out to other provinces - creating linkages to CARE's business skills, and savings & lending programmes.
Baseline study of apiculture sector in Kenya BEES-KENYA is a collaborative project managed by ERMIS Africa and African Conservation Foundation. The project seeks to improve livelihood and enhance food security among vulnerable groups in 5 selected Districts in Kenya which are clustered into 3 different zones for project implementation. Kenya is experiencing a rapid decline in food security due to impact of climate change and extreme weather variability. The Apiculture sub-sector has proved to be a key enterprise that contributes to improved food security, household incomes, and conservation of biological diversity - leading to improved resilience from marginalized communities against negative impacts from climate changes and extreme weather variability. A baseline survey on environmental factors, beekeeping history and practice of the communities, honey production, local challenges and carrying capacities of the available land in regard to beekeeping in the target areas will be carried out. Data on the existing registered and unregistered beekeeping groups will be documented. The availability of bee resources will be recorded in the selected areas, in order to develop interventions that can boost hive production. The survey will also document other sources of livelihoods in the target areas and effects of climatic changes.
Supporting the Environment for Vulnerable Children in Goma [Eastern DRC] The Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) has suffered more than 2 decades of conflict: an estimated 5.4 million people have fled their homes, children have been recruited into the armed forces, and acts of sexual violence have been used as a weapon of war. The civil war officially ended with a peace deal in 2003 but the situation remains volatile. Recent months have seen a resurgence of the crisis in some parts of the country with increased displacements of people away from their homes. Growing numbers of children are being forced onto the streets by conflict, displacement, family breakdown and domestic violence – girls are especially vulnerable to exploitation and abuse in such circumstances. The project will set up community child protection committees and peer outreach groups so that over 5000 children have someone to turn to in their own communities if abuse occurs. It will provide intensive support to 250 girls who need special help to recover from the abuses they have suffered. Staff working for government departments and charities in the area will be given the knowledge and skills they need to better protect children in the future.
Safer Schools for Girls Sexual violence in Sierra Leone is widespread, impacting the ability of girls to attend school and advance their education. Plan Sierra Leone and Amazonian Initiative Movement will work to reduce school related gender-based violence against girls in primary schools in the Koinadugu District. The project will take a multi-level approach, focusing on (1) increasing girls/boys understanding of gender-based violence, (2) ensuring schools offer a safer environment for girls, (3) shifting community members attitudes and practices, (4) improving survivors access to services/support, and (5) working with the Government of Sierra Leone to adopt and implement policies that enhances girls’ safety.
?Hanyoyin kariya ga uwa? (Safe motherhood) The majority of maternal deaths in Nigeria, like in the rest of the world are preventable, while the causal factors can be multiple and complex governments must also be held accountable when their actions or inaction contribute to this ongoing loss of women’s lives. Since the launch of the Safe motherhood initiative in Nairobi in 1987, numerous goals for reducing maternal mortality have been set, none have been met in Nigeria. In Northwest Nigeria 1,025 women per 100,000 are still dying while giving life. PADEAP’s safe motherhood project aims to reduce maternal mortality in selected LGAs in Katsina State. For safe motherhood strategies to be implemented, advocacy is important in order to create political commitment to safe motherhood. Advocacy is needed not only at policy level and decision making level, but also at community level in order to solicit broad support to safe motherhood. At the community level we will create awareness and demand for services through health education, attempting to address the reasons for low utilisation, including geographical, financial and socio-cultural. At policy level our advocacy work will focus on ensuring women have skilled attendance at delivery, and accessibility of emergency obstetric care (EOC) facilities for women with complications.
