The intent of this scope of work is to invite proposals from locally registered Community Based Organizations (CBOs), Faith Based Organizations (FBOs) or Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) providing community HIV programmes focused on service delivery to HIV positive children and adolescents in Gert Sibande and Nhlanzeni districts.
The project aims to identify children and adolescents living with HIV (CALHIV) and provide them with a comprehensive care package focusing on disclosure and adherence counselling and ongoing access to ART including viral load suppression. This project will require close working relationships with district Department of Health and local clinics providing support to these facilities to trace all CALHIV not adhering to treatment.
The overall objective of this project is to identify and support CALHIV ensuring access and adherence to ART, reflecting reduced and/or undetectable viral load. The intervention will target CALHIV, 1 to 17 years and their caregivers.
CALHIV should be provided with a comprehensive care package that is determined by conducting risk assessment and developing and implementing care plans to address individual and family challenges that may impact on adherence.
Interventions are expected to emphasize:
– Disclosure and Adherence counselling (individual and/or group).
– Referral and linkage of CALHIV to access ART.
– Tracking ongoing adherence of CALHIV to ART including viral load suppression.
– Psychosocial care and supportive counselling for overall wellbeing. The above objective is reached through sound partnerships with DOH including local clinics to support bidirectional referral and case conferencing with health service providers to ensure best outcomes for all CALHIV.
