•Government budget
•NGOs
•CBOs, Community
•FBOs
•Corporate organizations
•Internally generated funds

Strategy

12. Integration
• PEPFAR country teams and Implementing
Partners (IP) develop country operational plans
(COPs) and design programs that integrate
gender throughout the HIV continuum of
response
• Over 500 IPs and subs provide comprehensive
HIV services in all 36 states and the FCT with
over 8,000 sites in a country of 170m people
• Gender is integrated into each step of the
program cycle by IPs

13. 1 - ASSESSMENT
Collect and analyze data to identify
gender-based constraints and
opportunities relevant to program
objectives
2 - PLANNING
Develop program objectives
that strengthen synergy
between gender issues and
HIV goals; identify
participants, clients, and key
stakeholders
3 - DESIGN
Identify key program
strategies to address
gender-based
constraints and
opportunities
4- MONITORING
Develop indicators that
measure gender-specific
outcomes; monitor
implementation and
effectiveness in addressing
program objectives
5 - EVALUATION
Measure impact of program on
health and gender equity
outcomes; adjust accordingly to
enhance successful strategies.

14. Why is integrating gender into HIV programs
important?
• Understanding the unique needs of men and women,
boys and girls, and other gender identities
• To identify target populations and dedicate resources
where they are most needed.
• To identify gender-related barriers, such as norms
etc
• Responding to the unique needs of men and boys,
women and girls, and other gender identities
• To improve program outcomes and enhance
sustainability

15. What Does It Mean To Integrate Gender into
HIV prevention, Care & Treatment?
Means responding to the unique needs (?) of
men and women, boys and girls, and other gender
identities so they are equally able to:
• access and utilize HIV prevention, care and
treatment services initiate and practice healthy
behaviors
• improve their health outcomes
• live lives free from violence, stigma and
discrimination

16. Increase Gender Equitable Access to income and
productive resources including education
• Providing economic opportunities;
• To ensure that girls are given equal opportunity to
attend school (e.g. support for tuition fees, uniforms
& supplies) and/or vocational training (in marketable
skills);
• Working with govt to develop policies that increase
women access to economic resources, including
credit
• Programs to provide alternative income generation
activities for transgender, MSM, IDUs and sex
workers.

17. Provide gender-equitable HIV prevention, care and
treatment
Strong PEPFAR-supported programs promote evidence
based and innovative strategies; examples:
• Programs that provide male-friendly HIV/AIDS and
reproductive health services to encourage men‘s
participation in health care
• Design and implement targeted interventions to
overcome barriers for MSM and transgender populations
• Programs that integrate HIV/AIDS services into family
planning and reproductive health clinics in order to
facilitate women‘s access to services at a single
location.

18. Meaningful participation of women, girls and
marginalized groups
• To effectively address their health needs,
women, girls, and other populations need to
participate in the design, management,
monitoring and evaluation of HIV prevention,
care and treatment
• In order to become agents of their own health
and overall empowerment, programs must move
beyond viewing them only as end-users and
beneficiaries and acknowledge and support their
roles as principal actors and decision-makers.

19. Health system strengthening to ensure capacity
building
Multiple organizations can;
• Promote pre-service training, in-service training,
and mentoring on gender issues for relevant
professions
• Support development of civil society
organizations through building advocacy,
administrative and technical skills to deliver and
monitor high quality health and social services.
• Training of local law enforcement and members
of the judiciary on laws that promote gender
equality and protect the right of women and girls

20. Country Ownership & Multisectoral
Approach
• Promote linkages to programs outside the health sector,
including the legal system, education, and food security,
etc.
• Increase efforts to raise-awareness among families,
communities and government decision-makers about the
range of determinants influencing the health of men and
women, girls and boys
• Address and respond to harmful practices, including child
marriage, forced marriage, FGM, violence against LGBT
populations, and “honor” crimes.

21. Community Engagement
Community-based approach
Recommendations:
• Engage community leaders, role models, and
gatekeepers, including religious/tribal leaders,
• Work with local actors to identify cultural norms
and practices that support HIV prevention,
treatment and care, as well as gender equality.
• Employ community members in the provision of
information and services.
