Historique

Zimbabwe is implementing the RFP-ZIM-GF-047-2017 – HIV Grant -2017 Key Population grant that is being funded by Global Fund under PR-ship (Principal Recipient) of United Nations Development Programme (UNDP). National AIDS Council (NAC) is the Sub Recipient and while United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) and The Centre for Sexual Health and HIV AIDS Research Zimbabwe (CeSHHAR) (CeSHHAR) are the Sub-sub Recipients. UNFPA is implementing the MSM (Men who have sex with Men) programme while CeSHHAR is implementing the sex work programme. The Key Population programme aims at generating demand for HIV services and commodities and promoting safer sexual practices among the Key Populations. Currently the KP program is being implemented in Global Fund as well as President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) at 6 static sites namely Harare, Bulawayo, Gweru, Mutare, Masvingo and Karoi. An additional 4 border sites are at Victoria Falls, Beit Bridge, Forbes and Chirundu. The static sites are also supported by 30 outreach sites that are spread across the 10 provinces along the high way corridors and hot spots of Zimbabwe

UNFPA is working in collaboration with implementing partners GALZ and Sexual Rights Centre (SRC) will implement the Global Fund-supported MSM module based on principles of programming that is led by MSM. UNFPA and partners have localized these principles, adapted from global normative guidance in the “MSMIT” (Implementing Comprehensive HIV and STI Programmes with Men Who Have Sex with Men: Practical guidance for collaborative interventions). See weblink Annex 1.

Broadly speaking, the MSM activities are categorized along five main focus areas of implementation: Focus Area 1: Structured peer education, Focus Area 2: Establishment and running of drop-in centres, Focus Area 3: Service referrals, Focus Area 4: Trainings and sensitizations, Focus Area 5: Knowledge Production, Learning and Sharing of Good Practice.

Since 2009, CeSHHAR has implemented Zimbabwe’s sex work programme, Sisters with a Voice, based on UNAIDS and WHO guidelines for comprehensive sex work programming providing integrated services in 36 government clinics (6 Static sites and 30 outreach sites) supported by peer led outreach. The program has reached >57,000 FSWs, tested 31,000 for HIV, linked 7,500 HIV positives to ART and 1,937 HIV negatives to PrEP. (CesHHAR programme data)

The national M&E system is coordinated by the National AIDS Council (NAC), which draws from the different M&E sub-systems that report on various aspects of the HIV response. It further leverages on the use of technology to enhance timely reporting and improve data management. To this end, stakeholders will establish a common web-based database on core indicators for use. The Key Populations M&E system will also enhance the production of M&E products and sharing of data and products to facilitate efficient and effective decision making at all levels.

The KP M&E system is expected to provide a robust approach for evaluation of Zimbabwe National HIV/AIDS Strategic Plan (ZNASP 111.) Critical surveys, evaluations and surveillance will be undertaken to measure outcomes and impact of the strategic framework.

All stakeholders will be anticipated to adopt and implement this KP M&E system, align their internal M&E systems to this framework, and be committed to reporting through the national systems outlined in the ZNASP 111.

Guiding Principles of the Key Populations M&E System

M&E system should be anchored on the overarching internationally agreed “three ones” principle in addressing the HIV and AIDS response, which emphasises the need for having One M&E System for effective coordination. The implementation of the system shall be guided by the following principles:

Harmonisation and alignment: All Government agencies at national and county level as well as private, civil society organizations and faith based implementing organisations and partners will collaborate to attain Key Population M&E results in a harmonised and coordinated manner. This M&E system will therefore provide guidance to enable implementing organisations and supporting partners to harmonise their data and KP M&E processes and work collaboratively to facilitate an efficient and coordinated process of tracking, monitoring and evaluating of KP programmatic results.

Standardisation of indicators and data collection: Key Populations indicators, data collection tools, and methods should be standardised to allow comparability of Key Populations programme outputs and outcomes across implementing partners and between Key population sectors.

Strategic dialogue and partnerships: Dialogue and strategic partnerships should be strengthened through various stakeholder fora at national and sub-national levels to review progress in the Key Population programmatic implementation and assess the effectiveness of HIV programmes among Key populations.

Data demand and use: Data collected at all levels should be made available to both national level and governments for use in decision making and programming of HIV interventions.

Transparency, accountability and feedback: Information dissemination mechanisms should be utilised to promote transparency and enhance accountability at national and sub-national levels, taking advantage of information technology to enhance efficiency. Some of these mechanisms will therefore include online and media channels.

Safety and Human rights: The developed system should ensure the safety and human rights of the clients from who the data is obtained should be upheld and guaranteed at all times.

Proposed Methodology

Development of the Key Populations M&E system should be undertaken through a wide participatory and consultative process, which is in line with the multi-sectoral nature of HIV and AIDS response. A multi sectoral constituted Research Monitoring and Evaluation Advisory Group (RMEAG), which includes Government agencies, development partners, professional bodies, academic institutions and implementing partners, will spearheaded the development process of the Key Populations M&E system.

Timeframe
