R10_CCM_CMR_H_PF_s1-2_20Aug10_Fr Non x Oui Non x Oui 11/23 2.1.3 Connaissances et expériences des membres en matière de questions transversales (a) Renforcement des systèmes de santé : Décrire la capacité et l’expérience du CCM (ou sous-CCM) en matière de renforcement des systèmes de santé Le CCM est un organisme multisectoriel dont une frange importante de ses membres jouit d’une expérience avérée en matière de système de santé. Il s’agit principalement des représentants du gouvernement (Ministère de la Santé Publique), la société civile, du secteur privé et des partenaires. La plupart des membres ont participé activement à l’élaboration de plusieurs documents liés au système de santé parmi lesquels : le plan national de développement sanitaire, la stratégie sectorielle santé, les plans stratégiques nationaux de lutte contre le VIH/sida, la Tuberculose et le Paludisme, l’Approche Sectorielle Santé (SWAP), le Plan de développement des ressources humaines. Le CCM bénéficie régulièrement de l’appui technique de personnes ressources des programmes nationaux de lutte contre le Sida, Paludisme et Tuberculose dans la définition des priorités nationales et l’amélioration de leurs connaissances en matière de renforcement des systèmes de santé. (b) Genre : Décrire la capacité et l’expérience du CCM (ou sous-CCM) en ce qui concerne les questions de genre et les questions liées à l’orientation sexuelle et aux identités sexuelles. Compétences et connaissances des méthodologies d'évaluation des différences liées au genre en matière d’impact des maladies et de leurs conséquences (y compris les différences hommes/femmes et garçons/filles), ainsi que des moyens requis pour accéder à et utiliser les programmes de prévention, de traitement, de soins et de soutien ; et Connaissance globale des facteurs qui rendent vulnérables les femmes et les jeunes filles, ainsi que les minorités sexuelles, telle que les normes, les comportements, les attitudes et les pratiques néfastes qui sous-tendent les différences dans la propagation du VIH (par exemple : violence liée au genre, discrimination et stigmatisation, mutilation génitale féminine, mariage précoce, masculinité, etc.) Le CCM Cameroun accorde une grande importance sur les questions de genre dans l'élaboration et la mise en œuvre des programmes. La composition du CCM favorise l'équilibre entre les sexes. Les femmes représentent 36,7% du CCM, la vice-présidence du CCM est assurée par une femme (représentante des malades) et le secrétaire technique est également une femme. Le CCM a mis en place un Comité Ad-hoc chargé d’appuyer le secrétariat technique dans toutes ses missions. Ce Comité est composé de 10 membres actifs dont 6 femmes et 4 hommes. Le CCM ne pratique pas de discrimination liée à l’orientation sexuelle et aux identités sexuelles. Le CCM œuvre pour la promotion du genre et la prise en compte des questions liées à l’orientation sexuelle et aux identités sexuelles. Des organisations telles que CAMNAFAW et AFASO qui travaillent principalement dans les secteurs de la santé sexuelle et génésique et la mobilisation des femmes dans la lutte contre le VIH sont des membres clés qui assurent une perspective genre au sein du CCM. CAMNAFAW a également une expérience considérable en matière de santé sexuelle et reproductive chez les MSM et les LGBTI. Le Ministère de la Promotion de la Femme et de la Famille (MINPROFF), est membre du CCM, et veille régulièrement à la prise en compte de l’approche genre et de la lutte contre les violences sexospécifiques. Deux membres du CCM ont participé à l’atelier de consultation régionale en Afrique occidentale et centrale sur l’opérationnalisation des stratégies sur l’égalité de genre du Fonds Mondial et de l’ONUSIDA à Dakar (Sénégal) du 26 au 28 Janvier 2010. Le CCM bénéficie régulièrement de l’appui technique de personnes ressources des autres secteurs de la société civile non membres du CCM, notamment les MSM. Par exemple, le processus d’élaboration de la proposition du Round 10 a fait l’objet d’une large consultation y compris des associations des MSM et des TS. Le Plan stratégique national de lutte contre le Sida élaboré avec la contribution du CCM prend en compte la R10_CCM_CMR_H_PF_s1-2_20Aug10_Fr 12/23 dimension genre dans le contexte du VIH ainsi que les minorités sexuelles. En 2009, plusieurs membres du CCM ont contribué à la réalisation d’une étude nationale sur le genre et le VIH réalisée par le Ministère de la santé publique avec l’appui de l'ONUSIDA, l’UNIFEM et le PNUD. (c) Combien de membres du CCM (ou sous-CCM) disposent de compétences importantes dans l’un ou dans les deux domaines décrits dans la rubrique 2.1.3 (b) ? 15 (Renforcement des systèmes de santé), 10 (genre) (d) Planification multisectorielle : Décrire la capacité et l’expérience du CCM (ou sous-CCM) dans l'élaboration de programmes multisectoriels. Plusieurs départements ministériels y compris les partenaires au développement sont représentés au CCM par de hauts responsables qui ont en charge l’élaboration des programmes multisectoriels. A titre d’exemple, le MINEPAT (Ministère de l’Economie, de la Planification et de l’Aménagement du Territoire), membre du CCM, a la charge de l’élaboration et de la mise en œuvre de la politique économique de la nation ainsi que de l’aménagement du territoire. Pareillement, le Ministère de la Jeunesse élabore les politiques en matière de jeunesse, le Ministère de l’Agriculture et du Développement Rural, les politiques agricoles, le Ministère de la Recherche Scientifique et de l’Innovation élabore les politiques de recherche, etc. Toutes ces institutions ont joué un rôle fondamental dans l’élaboration des principaux documents stratégiques nationaux tels que le document de vision 2035 du Cameroun, Document de Stratégie pour la Croissance et l’Emploi (DSCE 2010-2020), les Plans stratégiques nationaux de lutte contre le Sida, Paludisme, Tuberculose. Plusieurs membres du CCM jouent le rôle de leadership dans la planification multisectorielle, et apportent une expérience et une expertise considérables dans ce domaine. Le CCM comporte en son sein des experts-consultants au niveau international dans l’élaboration des programmes.

Expliquer le processus pour chaque proposition maladie incluse dans la candidature À la suite de l'appel à propositions du Fonds mondial le 20 mai 2010, le CCM a tenu une réunion le 03 Juin 2010, où il a été décidé de soumettre une proposition au Round 10. Les membres du CCM ont unanimement décidé d’accorder la priorité à la proposition pour la composante VIH étant donné d’une part, que le Cameroun bénéficie de la subvention du Fonds Mondial dans le cadre du Round 9 Paludisme et Tuberculose, et que d’autre part les Round 3 et 4 sont terminés depuis décembre 2009 et font l’objet d’une continuité des services (CoS) qui se termine en décembre 2011(Annexe 6). Suite à cette réunion, le CCM a lancé un appel à propositions pour la Série 10, publié dans le quotidien national, Cameroun Tribune. (Annexe 7). A travers ce processus le CCM Cameroun a permis à l’opinion publique nationale et internationale d’être informé du lancement du Round 10 du Fonds Mondial et donc de soumettre éventuellement leurs propositions dans des délais prescrits par l’appel à candidature. Ce délai étant fixé au Vendredi 16 juillet 2010 à 15 heures précises. Des entretiens qualitatifs et des visites de terrain ont été organisés avec les MARPS (TS, MSM) pour solliciter leurs contributions en vue d’une intégration dans la proposition nationale (Annexe 7bis). Le CCM a enregistré au niveau de son Secrétariat Technique, les dix (10) sous-propositions issues des institutions suivantes : MINSANTE (associant ACMS, IRESCO, CAMNAFAW, BIT, CHP), Care Cameroun, Institut de Recherche pour le Développement (IRD), Coalition d’OBC, association Presse Jeune, Catholic Relief Services, Cameroon Baptist Convention, Forum Camerounais de psychologie, Centre International de Recherche sur le VIH/sida (CIRCB), Care Help.

Ces souspropositions ont été également remises à l’ONUSIDA mandaté par le CCM pour assurer la coordination technique R10_CCM_CMR_H_PF_s1-2_20Aug10_Fr 14/23 du processus d’élaboration de la proposition nationale au Round 10 (Annexe 6). L’ONUSIDA a constitué à cet effet, un groupe d’experts indépendants pour l’analyse des 10 sous-propositions. Le résultat de l’analyse des experts a été présenté lors de la réunion du CCM du 27 juillet 2010 (Annexe 8). Après délibération, aucune proposition n’a été entièrement rejetée. Le CCM a opté pour l’intégration de toutes les propositions suivant le cadre prioritaire retenu pour la proposition nationale (Annexe 9). Les membres du CCM qui ont signalé leur volonté de participer à la finalisation de la proposition nationale ont été invités à une séance de travail le 28 juillet 2010 (Annexe 10). Les travaux de finalisation de la proposition nationale se sont déroulés à l’ONUSIDA du 28 juillet au 19 août 2010. Une session de restitution des membres du CCM s’est tenue le 06 août 2010. Au cours de cette session, le projet de proposition nationale a été présenté en détail aux membres du CCM. Cette proposition nationale a été transmise à tous les membres du CCM en préparation de la réunion du 13 août 2010. Lors de sa session du 13 août 2010, le CCM a procédé à l’adoption de la proposition nationale (Annexe 11) (c) Décrire le processus suivi pour assurer l'implication d’acteurs autres que les membres du CCM (ou sous-CCM) dans le processus d'élaboration de la proposition. Expliquer le processus pour chaque proposition maladie incluse dans la candidature Dès le début du processus d'élaboration de la proposition, des consultations ont eu lieu avec des groupes les plus exposés au VIH (PVVIH, TS, MSM, MARPs). Les MARPs ont identifié leurs priorités et stratégies d’interventions à l’issue de réunions avec les experts nationaux et consultants internationaux de l’ONUSIDA. Des réunions séparées ont eu lieu avec un groupe du Sud-ouest et les groupes MSM à Douala et Yaoundé (Alternative, Douala et Projet Mesdine, Yaoundé) (Annexe 7bis). Des séances de travail ont également eu lieu avec les cliniciens impliqués dans les Traitements Antirétroviraux ainsi qu’avec les professionnels impliqués dans la gestion des achats et la chaîne d'approvisionnement afin de valider le processus de quantification des ARV et des médicaments des infections opportunistes (Annexe 12). Le CCM a mis en place un Comité d’élaboration de la proposition nationale sous la coordination technique de l’ONUSIDA. Le Comité était composé des membres du CCM et des experts nationaux et consultants internationaux constituant ainsi une équipe multisectorielle et pluridisciplinaire. Les personnes non-membres du CCM, mais disposant d’une expertise dans l’un des domaines de la proposition ont apporté leur contribution à la rédaction. Les non-membres du CCM ont pris part aux sessions de restitution de la proposition nationale les 06 et 13 août 2010. Une délégation de 06 experts nationaux conduite par le Ministre de la Santé a participé à la réunion de Nairobi sur le passage à l’échelle des programmes de PTME pour l’élimination virtuelle de la TME du VIH du 26 au 28 mai 2010. Une délégation de 06 experts nationaux a participé à l’atelier Régional de lecture croisée des propositions pays pour une revue par les pairs qui s’est tenue à Ouagadougou du 29 juin au 02 juillet 2010. Ces réunions ont permis de mieux orienter les priorités nationales dans le cadre du Round 10. Le projet de proposition du Cameroun a été soumis au comité régional JURTA de relecture qui s’est tenu à Dakar du 26 juillet au 04 août 2010. Une délégation de 03 membres du comité de rédaction de la proposition nationale a échangé avec les membres du comité JURTA pour une meilleure intégration de commentaires. Les drafts des propositions ont fait l’objet de relecture par les personnes ressources identifiées dans le secteur universitaire et de la société civile (Annexe 13). (d) Joindre le compte-rendu daté et signé de la réunion (ou des réunions) au cours de laquelle le CCM (ou sous-CCM) a décidé des éléments à inclure dans chaque proposition maladie. R10_CCM_CMR_H_PF_s1-2_20Aug10_Fr Annexes 6 et 9 15/23 2.2.3 Processus de supervision de la mise en œuvre des programmes (a) Décrire le processus suivi pour assurer l'implication d’acteurs autres que les membres du CCM (ou sous-CCM) pendant la supervision continue de la mise en œuvre des programmes Avec l’appui de Grant Management Solution (GMS), des documents cadres régissant le fonctionnement du CCM : statut, Manuel de procédure, un règlement intérieur, plan de gestion des conflits d’intérêts (Annexe 14, 15, 16, 17) ont été élaborés. Ces documents ont été adoptés par le CCM en sa session du 13 août 2010 (Annexe 11). Le Manuel de procédure prévoit la mise en place d’un Comité de supervision. Le mandat de ce comité est d’assurer le suivi du programme au moins une fois par trimestre. La supervision de ce programme implique la mobilisation d’une grande expertise y compris des non-membres du CCM. Dans le cadre du présent programme, l’approche mission conjointe de supervision avec les autres Partenaires Techniques et Financiers (PTF) et les représentants des populations cibles, non membres du CCM sera privilégiée et planifiée en concertation avec ces derniers. Les rapports et documents des différents acteurs de la lutte contre la maladie seront largement exploités. Les personnes morales et physiques non membres du CCM, reconnues pour leur expertise seront officiellement invitées du Président du CCM pour critiquer les rapports de supervision du Comité. Les rapports de mission seront discutés avec les PRs, les PTF, le Gouvernement et la société civile. Le Comité de supervision, avant de faire son rapport à l’Assemblée Générale du CCM pourra demander des clarifications aux PRs. Cette supervision ne concerne pas seulement le VIH, elle couvrira également les programmes Paludisme et la Tuberculose qui bénéficient déjà du financement du Fonds Mondial dans le cadre du Round 9. (b) Décrire le processus suivi par le CCM (ou sous-CCM) pour superviser la mise en œuvre des programmes. Le Manuel de procédure du CCM récemment adopté décrit le processus de supervision de la mise en œuvre du Programme avec un comité de supervision et un calendrier annuel de supervision. Le suivi et évaluation des programmes prévoit deux aspects : la gestion et les finances d’une part et les aspects programmatiques d’autre part. Le comité de supervision est composé de personnes relevant des secteurs gouvernemental, non gouvernemental, des partenaires au développement et des représentants des personnes vivant ou affectées par les trois maladies ayant une expérience en matière de suivi-évaluation des programmes. Dans le cadre de ses missions, ce comité aura accès à toute information nécessaire : demandes de décaissement, rapports trimestriels, budgets annuels, plans de travail, plans de suivi et d’évaluation, rapports d’audit. Dans son rapport à l’AG et/ou au Bureau du CCM, le Comité de supervision fera le point sur les performances, les contraintes, les difficultés, les succès et les leçons apprises du programme. A la fin de chaque année, le Comité de supervision évaluera son fonctionnement. Il consultera le CCM à travers l’AG ou son Bureau exécutif ainsi que les Bénéficiaires. Le Comité pourra aussi consulter les membres des administrations, les ONG, les leaders communautaires et les partenaires au développement et le secteur privé. 2.2.4 Processus de sélection du ou des Récipiendaire(s) principal (aux) (a) Décrire le processus suivi pour sélectionner de façon transparente et documentée chaque Récipiendaire principal désigné dans cette proposition. Expliquer le processus pour chaque Récipiendaire Principal pour chaque maladie Le CCM a lancé un appel à candidature pour la sélection des PRs et SRs publié le 22 juillet 2010 dans le quotidien national Cameroun Tribune (Annexe 18). A l’issue de l’appel, le CCM a reçu 4 candidatures aux fonctions de PR et 23 candidatures aux fonctions de SRs (Annexe 19). R10_CCM_CMR_H_PF_s1-2_20Aug10_Fr 16/23 Le CCM a tenu une session le 06 août 2010 dont l’un des points à l’ordre du jour était la sélection des Récipiendaires Principaux et des Sous-Récipiendaires. La session a été ouverte au public, non membres du CCM notamment les représentants des différents soumissionnaires (Annexe 19). Lors de cette session, le CCM a mis en place 4 groupes de travail pour examiner la recevabilité des dossiers conformément aux critères contenus dans l’appel d’offre. Après examen, chaque groupe a présenté son rapport en séance plénière, en présence des représentants des soumissionnaires (Annexe 19). A l’issue de cette phase, une liste restreinte de candidats dont les dossiers ont été jugés recevables a été validée par le CCM (Annexe 19). Les candidats aux postes de PR et sous PR qui sont membres du CCM, n’ont pas pris part aux délibérations conformément aux dispositions du plan de gestion des conflits d’intérêts. L’examen technique des documents a été confié à un groupe de partenaires technique et financier membres du CCM sous la coordination de l’ONUSIDA ouvert à d’autres membres du CCM non candidat aux postes de PR et SR. Le CCM a mandé le groupe d’élaborer, valider et utilisé une grille d’évaluation appropriée des différentes offres. Le Rapport de sélection des candidats aux fonctions de principal récipiendaire et Sous récipiendaire a été présenté et adopté au CCM à la réunion du CCM du 13 août 2010 en présence des représentants des soumissionnaires (Annexe 20).

(a) The fiscal year in Cameroon is established between 1st January and 31 December. The National R10_CCM_CMR_H_PF_s3-5_4Oct10 1/101 ROUND 10 – HIV Committee for the Fight Against Aids develops actions plans that align with the fiscal year. The launch of Round 10 corresponds to the 2nd quarter of the national fiscal cycle for 2011. The last quarter of the implementation of the proposal will correspond to the 1st quarter of the fiscal year for the year 2016. The routine data (programmatic and financial) for the monitoring of PSN 2011-2015 are produced monthly (district), quarterly (region), biannually and annually (central). The reporting for the proposal which will start in July 2011 will be secured with the national reporting. As well, the evaluations in year 2 (end of phase 1) and year 5 of the implementation of this proposal will provide useful information for the mid-way and final evaluations of the national strategic plan planned during the period. (b) This proposal will align on one hand, with the surveys programmed into the framework of the regular evaluation of the national programs, in particular the sentinel monitoring of HIV among pregnant women, the bio-behavioural surveys in specific groups (SW and their customers, truck drivers, MSM). On the other hand, the cycle for this proposal will correspond with the carrying out of the EDS 2011 and 2015. 3.4 Summary of Round 10 Proposal Provide a summary of the HIV proposal. “Universal access for the PMTCT, the global care of PLWHA and the prevention of HIV among the most exposed populations in Cameroon”. Cameroon is faced with a generalized epidemic with a prevalence of 5.1% in the general population. It is estimated that there are approximately 560,000 PLWHA in 2010 of which 58% are women, and 37.5 are young people less than 24 years old. The strategies developed have allowed 76,228 PLWHA to be placed under treatment, or 30.6% of the eligible patients (at the end of 2009) with a survival rate of 5 years after the beginning of the treatment among the highest in the region, which shows the importance of following these efforts (Appendix 1). The analysis of the national response and the recent review of the National Strategic Plan (NSP) 2006-10 showed that these strategies did not sufficiently target the marginalized populations, the most exposed and the most vulnerable (prevalence varying according to the regions from 28.5 to 48% among the SW, 35% seropositivity among a group of MSM having had recourse to voluntary screening; prevalence of 16.2% among truck drivers). As well, the new NSP 2011-15 places a particular emphasis on these populations’ MARPs who are the motors of the epidemic while reinforcing the gains of the national program. This will contribute to a reduction in morbidity and the mortality related to HIV thanks to a decrease in new infections in the MARPs and in the general population and an improvement of the quality of care for the PLWHA. The NSP 2011-15 calls for universal access to the prevention, care, treatment and support; and contributes to the attaining of OMD 4, 5 and 6 by way of the main following results: The prevalence of HIV in the general population is stabilized and has started to reverse thanks to the combined efforts to reduce the rate of MCT to less than 5% and the reduction by 50% of the new infections in high risk groups. The number of eligible adult and child patients placed on ARV treatment increased from 92,500 end December 2010 to 226,338 (80% of the eligible patients) by the end of 2015 Cameroon has benefitted from three Global Fund grants on HIV which have contributed to the implementation of NSP 2006-2010. In addition to the commitments by the government and partners, this proposal will contribute in a significant way, by way of 04 synergetic and additional goals, to the implementation of the main priorities of NSP 2011-15 to attain the following results in 2015: Prevalence is controlled in the general population and decreased among the MARPs; The proportion of pregnant women who benefit from at least one PNC including the HIV test by 2015 has increased from 35 to 80% (from 333,386 to 859,655 pregnant women, or 70% of the NSP target); The proportion of seropositive pregnant women and their children who receive an ARV regime R10_CCM_CMR_H_PF_s3-5_4Oct10 2/101 ROUND 10 – HIV to prevent MCT has increased respectively from 19% to 70% and from 16% to 70% in 2015 (57,167 HIV+ pregnant women and 57,167 newborns born of seropositive mothers in 2015, or 70% of the NSP target); 14,240 MSM, 39,440 SW and 148,800 truck drivers (or 80% of the NSP target) know their serological status in 2015; The proportion of adult and child PLWHA eligible for treatment has increased from 30.6% to 80% by 2015 (210,264 adults, of whom 22,868 are pregnant women, and 16,074 children); 20,000 orphans and vulnerable children per year have received at least the appropriate support (or 25% of the NSP target). Within the framework of this proposal, Cameroon has taken into account the TRP comments of Round 9 and programmatic and financial deficiency of the national strategic plan 2011-2015. Considering the issues related to decentralization, and the gender and human rights dimension, this proposal revolves around 04 goals and 07 objectives: Goal 1: Reduce the new HIV infections among newborns by the prevention of the mother-child transmission Objective 1.1: Increase from 35 to 80%, the proportion of pregnant women who benefit from at least one PNC including HIV screening by 2015. Objective 1.2: Increase from 19% to 70%, the proportion of seropositive pregnant women and their children who receive ARVs to prevent TME. Objective 1.3: Increase from 16 to 70%, the proportion of exposed children tested for HIV (PCR) at 6 weeks by 2015. The attaining of this goal will rely on the tight collaboration between the health system and the community system, which together increase the social mobilization for access to services. All of the seropositive HIV pregnant women received in PNC will be counselled and accompanied during the pregnancy and childbirth, for the early diagnosis of the child, the observance of the taking of ARV and cotrimoxazole. These women as well as the children born infected will receive ARV treatment and will benefit from the counting of CD4 lymphocytes. This proposal aims to reinforce the technical plateau of the laboratories and alleviates the deficiency in ARC and other inputs related to the adoption of the PMTCT 2009 recommendations, with the application of option A, associated with a Mother Baby Pack treatment. All of the HIV+ pregnant women having need of ARV treatment for their own health will be oriented within the framework of the global care of adults. Goal 2: Reduce the new HIV infections among SW and MSM and their partners Objective 2.1: Ensure access to prevention services and the reduction of discrimination to 14,240 MSM, 39,440 SW and 148,800 truck drivers in the 10 regions by 2015. Goal 2 and the attached objectives aims to reduce the new infections by HIV among the populations the most exposed to risk particularly the SW, the MSM and the truck drivers by offering a package of coherent and integrated interventions including: (i) the BCC, (ii) the promotion and the supply of condoms and lubricating gels, (ii) the screening and syndromic care of STIs, (iv) counselling and HIV screening, the care with ARV, (v) access to care and pyschosocial support as well as (vi) the fight against stigma and discrimination. The interventions targeting the MARPs (mostly young population) benefit indirectly an important fringe of young people. The community actors for the reference centres for the SW and MSM and truck drivers will be trained on the counselling and screening to accompany the populations the most exposed to risk in their steps towards knowledge of serological status. The supply of HIV tests will allow the screening of these populations via a set strategy in the partner health centres and an advanced strategy by the mobile units in the locations where the targeted group lives and socializes. Goal 3: Reduce the morbidity and mortality related to HIV as well as the socio-economic impact by reinforcing the global care of adult and child PLWHA and the support to OVC by 2015 Objective 3.1: Ensure overall quality care to 80% of the eligible adult and child PLWHA by 2015 Objective 3.2: Reduce the impact of HIV/Aids among the OVC and the stigma and discrimination of HIV R10_CCM_CMR_H_PF_s3-5_4Oct10 3/101 ROUND 10 – HIV A total of 210,264 adults (of whom 22,868 are seropositive pregnant women) and 16,074 children will benefit from 1st and 2nd line treatment in accordance with the national directive by 2015 in the 240 care structures (public, private, faith-based). The support for the observance by patients by way of the continuity of care for the PLWHA in the community by civil society organizations. This proposal intends to ensure the pre-therapeutic check-up for all people newly screened with a dosage of CD4 lymphocytes and a monitoring check-up for the PLWHA on ARV. This Round 10 will continue the integration efforts of the TB/HIV programs by contributing to the training of health personnel, and reinforcing the coordination between the two programs. As well, it will follow the global CM of the OVC by capitalizing on the acquisitions and experiences of Round 3, by ensuring a complete package of services: psychosocial and legal support, school support, medical support and a nutritional support involving the community-based associations. Actions to reduce the stigma and discrimination related to HIV will be carried out at several locations including business, health, public service and community locations. Goal 4: Strengthen the coordination, monitoring evaluation and the partnership with civil society in the context of the implementation of the proposal Objective 4.1: Strengthen the coordination and monitoring evaluation system In order to produce strategic information for better decision-making, studies on the mapping, biobehavioural surveys among the SW, MSM and truck drivers; as well as monitoring surveys among the pregnant women, resistance to ARV, and studies on TB/HIV coinfection will be carried out. The personnel in charge of monitoring and evaluation at the most peripheral level of the central system will be strengthened in their numbers and capacities. Supervision activities will be carried out regularly by way of planning and appropriate human and material resources. This will also reinforce the capacities of actors in civil society and the private sector in the realization of the objectives defined in this proposal. A particular emphasis will be placed on the institutional reinforcement of instances of national coordination for an efficient partnership with all sectors. This proposal will be implemented by two main recipients: the Ministry of Health for the public sector, and CAMNAFAW for civil society. The amount of this HIV proposal for Cameroon in Round 10 is estimated at 97,411,943 Euros and represents 24.16% of all of the financial needs of NSP 2011-2015. In addition to the other costs attached to the fight against HIV, the government contribution covers 50% to 60% of the costs of the ARV. 4. PROGRAM DESCRIPTION 4.1 National program Describe: (a) current HIV national prevention, treatment, and care and support strategies; (b) how these strategies respond comprehensively to current epidemiological situation in the country; and (c) the improved HIV outcomes expected from implementation of these strategies. (a) With a prevalence of 5.1%, Cameroon, a country with lower average revenue, finds itself in a context of a generalized epidemic. The total number of persons living with HIV (PLWHA) is estimated in 2010 to be 560,300 of which 249,341 are eligible for treatment. This epidemic is characterized by its feminization (58.2% are women vs 41.8% men). As well the young women of 15-25 are more affected compared to young men (4.3% vs 1.2%). The impact of HIV is significant: there are approximately 304,210 orphans and vulnerable children due to Aids R10_CCM_CMR_H_PF_s3-5_4Oct10 4/101 ROUND 10 – HIV (Appendix 1.) In response to this situation, the Government of Cameroon has made the fight against this scourge one of its priorities in terms of development. This commitment has allowed within the framework of the NSP 2006-2010 the placing on treatment of 76,228 PLWHA in December 2009 and increased the PMTCT coverage to 99% of the Health Districts. This commitment is reinforced by the adoption of the Strategic National Plan (SNP) for the fight against Aids 2011-2015, based on a multisectoral and decentralized approach (Appendix 2). The R10 proposal arises out of this plan and is organized around 08 strategic axes based on results: Axis 1: Reinforcement of the prevention of the transmission of HIV and STIs The interventions are based among others on the reinforcement of (i) the Prevention of the Transmission of HIV from the Mother to the Child (PMTCT) with the view to virtually eliminate this transmission, (ii) the prevention of HIV/Aids and the care of STIs in high risk groups (SW and their customers, MS, Truck Drivers, etc.), (iii) the reinforcing of the counselling and screening for HIV, (iv) reinforcement of the links between HIV services and sexual and reproductive health. The implementation of the interventions combined with prevention will be made around the concept of offering a “package of services” accessible in an equitable manner. As well, themes related to reproductive health, violence towards women are taken into account in a way to reinforce the efficiency of the prevention programs. In the context of the R10 proposal, the groups targeted for the prevention are pregnant women and their infants, the populations the most exposed to risk (SW, MSM and Truck Drivers) who have a seroprevalance at least 3 times higher than the prevalence in the general population. Axis 2: Reinforcement of the access to care and treatments In the context of the passage to the scale of the interventions, this axis aims to pursue the process of decentralization of the offer of quality care and treatments by way of the operational implementation of new structures and reinforcement of the existing ones for a global care for People Living with HIV (PLWHA) in all of the health districts. This will allow on the one hand, an increase in the national coverage and offer outreach services and other the other hand, to aim to attain the Millenium Development Goals (MDG). The R10 will allow the offering of treatment and care to pregnant women eligible for ART, children and infants, and adults with a therapeutic indication for ARV. Axis 3: Reinforcement of the support and protection of PLWHA, the OVC and persons affected The interventions aim especially to reduce the negative impact of HIV on these vulnerable groups and to guarantee them equitable access to health, education and citizenship. For the PLWHA, this means promoting their rights and obligations including in the workplace, and facilitating their access to other services all while fighting against stigma and discrimination. Taking into account the weight of the epidemic on the OVC, the R10 proposal will provide annual support to the OVC. Axis 4: Appropriation of the fight against HIV, Aids and the STIs by all actors The efforts aim at effective implementation for a better appropriation of the fight by the different actors. The strengthening of the capacities of the actors, the improvement of the provision of coordination and monitoring of the sectoral interventions, as well as the reinforcement of the publicprivate partnership (PPP) will allow all of the actors to be involved (pubic, private and civil society). Axis 5: Reinforcement of the health system The health system will be reinforced to support the efforts in favour of universal access to prevention, to care/treatment and case management by improving the availability and quality of services. The accent will be placed on the reinforcement of human resources capacities, the continuity of care, the offer of palliative care for the PLWHA, from the national medication supply system and HIV inputs, monitoring-evaluation, leadership and governance in the health sector. The R10 will allow the reinforcement of the health system by the improvement of the provision of services by way of the supply of equipment, the training of personnel, the extension of the service offering, supply of medications and other inputs, etc. R10_CCM_CMR_H_PF_s3-5_4Oct10 5/101 ROUND 10 – HIV Axis 6 : Reinforcement of the community system This strategic axis places the emphasis on the development of the capacities of community actors, advocacy and civil society leadership, planning and the monitoring evaluation of community interventions, governance and the partnership. The community system will be reinforced to ensure the complementarity with the health system in order to guarantee the effectiveness and effectiveness of the interventions. The reinforcement of the community system in the context of this R10 proposal will allow implication of the community system and the private sector in the provision of the activities of prevention, care and support. Axis 7: Strategic information The Strategic Plan aims to reinforce the actual device which will allow the efficient production of quality strategic information, in order to: (i) take account of the unrolling of the programmed interventions by the different actors and of the mobilization and use of resources; (ii) orient the decisions founded on a functional system of monitoring-evaluation, sentinel surveillance and operational research, (iii) document the results obtained as far as the use and the quality of the services offered and,(iv) document the effects and the impacts of the interventions on the general population and the target groups of the program. To do this, this proposal will allow the carrying out of surveys and studies, the reinforcement of the system of monitoring-evaluation and the production of strategic information. Axis 8: Coordination, partnership and management This axis aims to reinforce the partnership between the public, the private and civil society, with the goal to ensure the complementarity of the interventions. A particular emphasis will be placed on the mobilization of national resources by way of the implementation of innovative mechanisms for the mobilization of financing following the example of the partnership with the private sector and mutual health insurance companies. In matters of management, the principles of good governance and management based on the results will be applied in order to rationalize the cost of the interventions and will lead to the effective and efficient use of the resources. (b) These strategies will allow by way of the reinforcement of the public-private partnership, the health systems and the community to make accessible and available the prevention services, the care and the support for all of the population in urban and rural zones. The targeting of the interventions towards vulnerable persons and the persons most exposed to risk will encourage the changing of behaviours, for example the delaying of the age of the first sexual relationship among young people, the systematic use of condoms, lubricating gel by the SW and their customers, as well as the MSM. As well, these strategies will allow on one hand the increase in the use of screening services and care of cases of HIV and STI and on the other hand, the frequentation of Prenatal Consultation (PNC) services including maternal and infant health. The offer of PMTCT service will allow reinforcement of the prevention of new infections among women of procreating age, to provide the prophylaxis ARC to seropositive pregnant women and their infants in order to reduce the risks of transmission from mother to child of HIV. The reduction of violence towards women (rapes, sororat and levirate..), of the discrimination and stigma towards people infected and affected as well as the taking into account of the gender and human rights aspects encouraging the improvement of equitable access to services. The comprehensive PMTCT will have an impact not only on the feminization but also on the juvenilization of the epidemic; it will contribute to the reduction of maternal and infantile mortality related to HIV/Aids. The treatment will decrease morbidity and mortality especially maternal and infantile related to HIV/Aids and contribute also to the protection of the general population and to an increase in productivity. The support to OVC and persons affected will allow the impact of the infection to be reduced and will lessen the vulnerability related to HIV. Making strategic information available will allow the progress made to be evaluated, the impact of the interventions on the recipients and will facilitate also decision-making in order to ensure a quality of services and a complete coverage of national needs. R10_CCM_CMR_H_PF_s3-5_4Oct10 6/101 ROUND 10 – HIV (c) Improvement of the expected results by the implementation of the national strategy In terms of the implementation of the national strategic plan 2011-2015, the following main results will be attained: Prevention: The prevalence of HIV in the general population is stabilized and starts to reverse thanks to the combined effect of the virtual elimination of MCT to less than 5% and the reduction by 50% of the new infections in the high risk groups. - The proportion of persons having carried out their screening test for HIV (men and women) goes from 13% to 60% between 2011 and 2015. - The proportion of SW who know their HIV serological status goes from 64.1% to 90%. - 75% of the MSM have correct knowledge of HIV and the STI and SSR - The rate of use of condoms during their last risky sexual relationship among young women and men aged 15-24 years of age goes to 80% - 90% of the MSM state they used a condom during their last risky sexual relationship. Overall care: - The number of eligible adults and children placed on ARV treatment increases from 92,500 at the end of December 2010 to 226,338 (80%) of the patients by the end of 2015. - 80% of the PLWHA (adults and children) and 55% of the OVC have a better quality of life because of the increase in their access to care services, treatments and support. Within the specific context of the R10 proposal, the results attained are: The proportion of pregnant women who benefit from at least one CPN including the HIV test by 2015 increases from 35 to 80%; The proportion of seropositive pregnant women and their children who receive ARC medications to prevent MCT goes respectively from 19% to 70% and from 16% to 70% in 2015.; The overall quality care for the adult and child PLWHA with therapeutic indication goes from 30.6% to 80% by 2015. Round 10 will provide 50% of the financing for the costs of the ARV, the other half being taking into account by the Government of Cameroon. 14,240 MSM, 39,440 SW and 148,800 truck drivers (or 80% of the target) know their serological status by 2015; All of these results will contribute to the reduction of the morbidity and mortality related to HIV thanks to the decrease in new infections in the population and an improvement of access to prevention services, care and support. Clarified 4.2 (b) 4.2 Epidemiological profile of target populations (a) Describe the current epidemiological profile of the target populations, and how this profile is changing with respect to HIV. As much as the epidemic has generalized, there are very exposed populations in Cameroon and at very high prevalence who because of their sexual behaviour and practices, play a large role in the progression of the epidemic. In relation to the epidemiological data, particularly the prevalence of HIV which is very high, the persistence of the exposure to risks and the vulnerability factors, the following populations have been targeted in this proposal. This is the case for the SW, MSM, and truck drivers with the respective prevalence of HIV at 36%, 35% (rate of seropositivity), and 16.2%. Because of the fact that the epidemic affects particularly the young, they are not specifically targeted, because they benefit indirectly from the interventions in the direction of the SW, MSM, Truck drivers, pregnant women, etc… Because of their increased vulnerability, pregnant women and infants, the PLWHA and the OVC are also targeted in this proposal. R10_CCM_CMR_H_PF_s3-5_4Oct10 7/101 ROUND 10 – HIV Pregnant women and infants: In Cameroon, the health indicators for mother and infant indicate that the synthetic rate of fertility is 5.0 children per woman and the gross birth rate is 37.8 for 1000 individuals (EDS III, 2004; pp 66 and 62; Appendix 3); the rates of infant and juvenile mortality are respectively 87 per 1000 and 149 per 1 00 live births. Maternal mortality is 1000 for 100,000 live births (Sectoral Health Strategy 2001-2015, Appendix 4) and the neonatal mortality is 30 per 1,000 live births. The proportion of pregnant women who state having consulted a health agent during pregnancy is 82%. The routine program data reveals that at the end of 2009, 35% of the pregnant women were received in PNC in the health facilities offering PMTCT. According to MICS III, 2007, 98.1% of the women breastfed their newborns; however the exclusive rate of material breastfeeding of infants of 0-5 months is 21%, and 35% of infants aged 0-11 months are adequately fed following recommendations (Appendix 5). In 2010, PLWHA are estimated at 560,306 of which 58.2% (326,278) are women; 12% (73,750) of these are pregnant women (Appendix 1). At the end of 2009, the prevalence of HIV among pregnant women aged 15 to 49 years of age was 7.6%; in the age categories, 15 to 19 years of age and 20-24 years of age, there were respectively 5.1% and 7.8%. This seroprevalance is not uniformly distributed in the 10 regions of the country, and between the rural and urban zones. The seroprevalance of Syphilis among pregnant women is 0.5%. Twenty-three percent of the women surveyed stated having used a modern contraceptive method before the actual pregnancy and 85% stated that they were favourable for the participation in the PMTCT program (VIH Sentinel Surveillance Report Among Pregnant Women, 2009; Appendix 6). AIDS is one of the major causes of mortality and of maternal morbidity and also represents the first cause of mortality among adults (women or men) in the country. The targeting of pregnant women will allow the young girls in this group to be reach and to influence the feminization but all the juvenilization of the epidemic; it will contribute to the reduction of the maternal and infant mortality related to HIV/Aids. The number of new infection of HIV is estimated at 7349 for children less than one year old. These infants contract the infection mainly by mother-child transmission and represent 91.9% of the new infections estimated in the country among those younger than 05 years (NAC. Profile Estimate Reports 2010-2010; Appendix 1). The reduction of new infections among women and the risk of transmission of HIV from the mother to the infant will contribute to the reaching of the ODM 4, 5 and 6 in the country. As well all of the interventions which will take place during this Round 10 in the areas of PMTCT and paediatric care will definitely have an impact on the overall improvement of maternal and infant health. Sex workers (SW) The Sew Workers are a priority group for this Round 10 proposal, with respect to the particularly high prevalence in this group. In effect, the mapping of the 447 sites distributed around the country is characterized by a strong mobility of the sex workers (Mapping Report of Sex Workers, Appendix 7). This group is mainly young; 45.2% of the SW surveyed were between 15-24 years old. This prevalence reaches 72.8% for the section from 15-29 years of age. Those of the young aged 20-24 years was 33% for a survey of 994 TS. The rate of seroprevalance in this groups went from 26.5% in 2004 (NAC Enquiry Report on specific groups, 2004, Appendix 8) to 36% in 2010 (Sero-epidemiological and behaviour enquiry report on HIV and syphilis among SW, John Hopkins, Appendix 9). This prevalence varies from 28.5% (in the central region) to 48% ( in the region of Adamaoua). The rate of seroprevalance of HIV in relation to the age bands reveals a juvenilization of the infecting in this group. As well, in the band 15-19 years, this rate was 18.8%, 29.7% in the band 20-24 years and 39.5% in that of 25-29 years. The seroprevalance of syphilis is 18%. The same survey reveals that during the last three months preceding the study, 63.3% of the SW did not take part in an awareness session; 18.1% had never done a screening test for HIV and 52.2% only had systematically used the condom with their paying sexual partners, regular or occasional. In the case of STI, 18.8 of the SW questioned stated having recourse to a public or private health centre, and 14.5 to self medication. The targeting of this group will reach a fringe of young people whose clients are also found among the young. Men having sexual relations with men (MSM) R10_CCM_CMR_H_PF_s3-5_4Oct10 8/101 ROUND 10 – HIV MSM are an emerging phenomenon in Cameroon and which remains essentially urban and concentrated in certain cities such as Yaoundé, Douala, Kribi, Limbè, Bafoussan, Garoua and Ngaoundéré. The study carried out on the factors associated with unprotected anal relations among 168 MSM in Daoula, Cameroon indicate that the stigmatism, penalization and the reject of this group are the main factors that prevent them from accessing and receiving essential prevention and care services for HIV (E. Henry, F. Marcelin, Y. Yomb et al. Factors associated with unprotected anal intercourse among men who have sex with men in Douala, Cameroon 2009, appendix 10). On the other hand, the lack of prevention interventions combining information, social and legal support, support for strengthening self esteem, prevention and the care of STI is enough of a context to increase their risk of exposure to HIV. The same study showed that close to half of the members had had bisexual relationships in the six (06) months preceding the study. It remains that 65% of the MSM reported having had at least 02 different sexual partners during the last 06 months. It also remains that 45% do not know their serological status, 57.7% declared having already been beneficiaries and/or actors of HIV/AIDS prevention actions. The median age of this group is 23 years old and the first anal sexual contact occurs at the age of 16-19. In 2009, the activity report of the NGO CAMNAFAW revealed that of 133 MSM tested for HIV, 35% were seropositive. The discussions with the intervening actors with this group reveal the importance of the use of communication information and technologies (CIT) as main tools of communication and exchange between the members. This population with a high risk of exposure also makes up one of the priorities of the Round 10 proposal by way of integrated prevention programs. The Truck Drivers: Epidemiological data for 2004 reveals a rate of prevalence of HIV of 16.2% in this group (NAC, 2004, Appendix 8). As far as prior Sexually Transmitted Infections (STI), 17.7 of truck drivers state having had an STI during the last twelve months prior to the survey (CARE Cameroon, 2005; Appendix 11). The survey carried out in 2008 by OCEAC/PPSAC with the same groups reveals that only 28% of truck drivers have a complete knowledge of HIV/Aids and 50% don’t consider themselves to be at risk of contracting HIV. On the other hand, only 45% have done the HIV screening test and received results during the last 12 months preceding the survey. During the same period, the average number of sexual partners was 2.27 among truck drivers and 4.47 among their occasional sexual partners made up of primarily the SW. 40% of the truck drivers and 73% of their partners had had risky sexual relations, but only 22% of the truck drivers and 23.4 of their partners declared having used a condom on that occasion (OCEAC/PPSAC, Enquiry report on the evaluation of PPSAC project indicators, 2008, Appendix 12). Persons living with HIV With a prevalence of 5.1% in the general population, the number of PLWHA is estimated at 560,300 in Cameroon in 2010 of whom 58% are women, 18.2 are young people aged 15-24 years of age and 19.3% aged less than 15 years of age (Appendix 1). This population is also a priority retained in the Round 10 framework. Based on the recent eligibility criteria for ARV defined by the WHO (CD4˂350), 249,341 PLWHA are eligible for treatment in 2010, or 44.5% of all of the estimated PLWHA. However, only 76,228 PLWHA, or 30.6% of the eligible patients were put on ARV treatment at the end of 2009 (NAC, Annual Report 2009, Appendix 13). The profile of patients on ARV indicated that 67% are women and 33% are men. On the other hand, 4% of the PLWHA on ARV are infants. Tuberculosis is the main cause of mortality among the PLWHA. In 2008, 217 functional CDT allowed the screening of 16,144 people ill with tuberculosis or 45% of the 35,000 estimated tuberculosis patients. Among these, 6,515 were screened positive for HIV and cared for with ARV in the UPEC/CTA. This corresponds to a coinfection TV/HIV of 40.4% (Appendix 14). Orphans and vulnerable Children: R10_CCM_CMR_H_PF_s3-5_4Oct10 9/101 ROUND 10 – HIV In 2010, the number of deaths related to HIV is estimated at 34,478 and 33,737 in 2015. This mortality weighs down considerably the burden of the epidemic which also leads to an increase in the number of OVC. In effect, the estimates show that the number of children infected or affected by HIV and Aids increases from one year to the next. According to the estimates, this number will go from 304,210 (25.3% of all of the orphans for all causes together) in 2010 to 350,644 (27.2%) in 2015 (Appendix 1).

Despite the advances and considerable results, the implementation of strategies in the fight against aids in Cameroon, evaluated during the Strategic National Plan (SNP) for the fight against Aids 20062011 (Appendix 5), allowed us to place the emphasis on the weaknesses in the areas of prevention, therapeutic care and support, of the community mobilization as well as in terms of coordination nod monitoring/evaluation. These main weaknesses in the implementation of actual strategies which were at the base of the elaboration of the new SNP 2011-2015, are presented as follows: In terms of Prevention of new infections: (a) Main weaknesses - Weakness in the targeting of interventions, more particularly in so far as concerns the groups the most exposed to the risk of HIV (SW, MSM, Truck drivers). Effectively, these groups are difficult to reach because of the fact of the socio-cultural context in the country. On the other hand, the working standards towards these groups are not yet harmonized as well as much as the capitalization of the interventions are not efficient. Thus, numerous interventions were mainly destined for the general population, leaving behind some of the groups the most at risk such as the SW, MSM, Truck drivers, etc. The fact that the majority of the interventions concerns the general population, the populations the most exposed to risk have not be subject of studies allowing strategic information to be generated to orient specific actions. - Weak use of counselling and screening services which has only allowed testing of 1.8 million people between 2006 and 2009, or 13.6% of the population aged 15 and older (Report on the review of the National Strategic Plan for the Fight Against AIDS 2006-2010. Appendix 16), which is far from the objective of 75% set for 2010; - Weakness in the CPN coverage: the non harmonized and high costs of the CPN services (going from 1.5 to 15 Euros), birthing in some health facilities as much public, private as faith-based could be a brake to the accessibilities of CPN services. This situation is accentuated by a lack of information within the communities which translates into an under utilization of the services both for pregnant women and their spouses; - Qualitative and quantitative insufficiency of services in the health system and the community system: only 57% of women seen in PMTCT benefit from ARV prophylactics of whom a high number are lost sight of in PMTCT; -Weak implementation of the strategy for screening counselling on the initiative on the initiative of the services provider (DCIP) has had the consequence of a weak integration of the screen services R10_CCM_CMR_H_PF_s3-5_4Oct10 13/101 ROUND 10 – HIV in the health facilities (SR/PMTCT, SMI); - Weakness in the offer of screening services in the advanced strategy inherent to insufficiencies in human resources and a lack of logistical means in certain zones and in the direction of the groups of the population most exposed to risk. (b) Disparities and inequities - The urban locations benefit from more interventions and offers of services than the rural areas (weak offer of services for counselling and screening in the rural locations, weak quality of care for TARV, weak access to male and female condoms,)(Review of the Strategic National Plan for the Fight Against AIDS 2006-2010. Appendix 16). - 21% of the health facilities recognized don’t offer PMTCT. - The delay in the delivery of blood samples (taken on blotting paper) to the reference laboratories, the resulting output and the placing on treatment of infants remains very long (34 to 55 days). The delay of the output results of the screening is long with an average of 2 days in some sites Table 1: Stream of PMTCT indicators in Cameron, 2009 (source: GTC/NAC. NSP Evaluation Report 2006-2010) PMTCT Indicators Level of Coverage (in %) FS Coverage in PMTCT 79 Frequentation of FP site by women Coverage screening program for pregnant women in CPN1 Coverage assisted birthing program for HIV+ women Coverage pop TARV for HIV+ children 40 35 61 11 PMTCT Indicators Coverage pop ARV prophylactics among HIV+ pregnant women Coverage pop ARV prophylactic among exposed children Coverage pop in CTX among exposed children Coverage pop in PCR among exposed children % partners of HIV+ pregnant women Level of coverage (in %) 19 16 23 17 2 c) Consequences - Because of the fact that the populations the most exposed to HIV have not been sufficiently targeted for the prevention and care, this has had the consequence a rate of seropositivity and prevalence very high representing one of the motors of the epidemic in Cameroon. Thus the strategy choice has been made in the strategic national plan 2011-2015 and in this proposal showing the important that the country gives to the reduction of new infections (know your epidemic). - Only 19% of seropositive pregnant women expecting and 16% of the infants born of seropositive mothers benefited from a prophylactic regime in 2009; - Only 57% of those who are followed by the PMTCT program receive ARV prophylactics. - The coverage of early diagnosis of children born to seropositive mothers is weak at 17% in only 92 health facilities out of 2569 representing a geographical coverage of 4.5% (NAC Annual Report, 2009. Appendix 13). In the area of treatment, care and support. (a) Main weaknesses The active file for patients on ARV at the end of 2009 is 76,228 (3114 children and 73114 adults) representing 49.5% of the PLWHA eligible for treatment (NAC. Activity Report 2009, Appendix 13). By taking into account the new WHO recommendations of December 2009, this figure indicates a coverage of 30.6% of the eligible persons. This weak coverage can be explained by the following elements: (i) Only 56% of the health districts (100/178) had a R10_CCM_CMR_H_PF_s3-5_4Oct10 14/101 ROUND 10 – HIV structure for care of the PLWHA at the end of 2009 (NAC. Activity Report 2009, Appendix 13); (ii) the insufficient number of biomedical equipment, (iii) the qualitative and quantitative insufficiency of human resources involved in the PEC medical, the psychological and social accompaniment aiming for proper observance of treatment and the promotion of good nutritional practices and secondary prevention, (iv) Weak accessibility to biological statements by the PLWHA, making adequate care for patients on ARV: the experience of Round 3 showed that despite the subsidization of biological examinations, only 48% of the persons on ARV had done biological monitoring tests. (v) the embryonic state of the care continuum between the health structures and the community, (vi) the insufficiency of the TB diagnostics among HIV patients related to the diagnostic difficulties due to a deficit in capacities at the appropriate technical level, (vii) weakness of the implementation of the UPEC tutorat by the ACT; Weaknesses related to care and support are significant, the weak implication of community actors in the continuum of care, insufficiency of the support for OVC (only 25% of the OVC benefited from support (Strategic National Plan 2011-2015, Appendix 2); Insufficient involvement of the private sector in prevention and the care of their employees, families and surrounding communities in their zone of implantation. (b) Disparities and inequities - The overall offering of services of care for the PLWHA is more developed in the urban environment than in the rural environment -Patients have difficulties with respect to geographical access in certain care structures in the rural zone, which increases the number of those lost from sight - The care for HIV infection among children has been initiated late which has had the consequence of insufficiency of access to care for children living with HIV. (c) Consequences - As much has Cameroon has a significant active file of patients on ARV at the end of 2009 for 76,228 (3114 children and 73114 adults) which represents 49.5% of the PLWHA eligible for treatment (NAC. Activity Report 2009, Appendix 13). The taking into account of WHO recommendations will bring this coverage to 30.6% of the eligible persons which indicates the importance of the efforts remaining to be carried out. It is the same for the biological monitoring which indicates that 48% of the PLWHA on ARV benefitted from biological monitoring test. - Those lost from sight are estimated to be between 10 to 40% of the active files. This translates the fact that the continuum of care is insufficiently ensured in terms of quality and of geographical coverage. There is also a weakness of community relay agents (APC) who intervene as an interface between the care structures and the communities. - As far as the OVC, the stated weaknesses have had the consequence of an insufficiency of the taking into account of the issues specific to OVC: school, medical and psychological, nutritional support etc… Concerning strategic information and the coordination of interventions (a) Main weaknesses - The unavailability of quality data and information which is due notably to non-appropriate planning, irregular supervision and the inadequacy of data collection. The personnel not being trained enough and motivated to ensure a regular collection of data. - The weakness in the implementation of epidemiological surveillance, surveillance of resistance, research on HIV and insufficient use of the resulting in decision-making and planning; - Monitoring/evaluation and coordination: the weak level of control and the monitoring of the implementation, despite the existence of program coordination structures at all levels (central, regional and communal) is also due to weak planning and an absence of financial resources allocated to this aspect. Also added to this are deficiencies in coordination between the different actors of the community and health systems. - Weakness in the information system: the lack of functionality of the information system between R10_CCM_CMR_H_PF_s3-5_4Oct10 15/101 ROUND 10 – HIV the services explains the weak traceability of data concerning women and children coming from PMTCT and placed under TARV. As well, these difficulties are also found in the community structures offering the activities of CPN/PMTCT and the activities of the groups most exposed to risk. (b) Disparities and inequities The insufficiency in the collection and analysis of strategic data does not allow the taking into account on the one hand of the most vulnerable populations for the ones the most exposed to risk, and on the other hand their needs or specific expectations. This constitutes an inequity in the management of information and decision-making. c) Consequences Planning and budgeting suffer from a lack of information based on tangible facts, which does not allow pertain decisions to be taken vis-à-vis the populations the most exposed to risk, the PLWHA, the pregnant women, etc. with regards to their context. R10_CCM_CMR_H_PF_s3-5_4Oct10 16/101 ROUND 10 – HIV 4.3.2 Health Systems Describe the main weaknesses of and/or gaps in health systems that affect HIV outcomes. The national health system in Cameroon is organized on three levels. Each level has administrative and technical structures with specific functions. The central level has the role of elaborating policies and strategies, coordination and regulation; the intermediate or regional level ensures technical support to the health districts; the peripheral or operation level has the responsibility for the implementation of programs. The health system has 178 health districts, 1600 health zones distributed among 10 Regions in which there are 2569 health structures of which 76% are public, 17% private secular and 7% private faith-based. The HIV program has 140 structures (23 ACT and 117 UPEC) which ensure the overall care of the PLWHA. Weakness of the health system which affect the results in terms of HIV are found at the level of 6 areas: Provision of services: In Cameroon, close to 14% of the health districts don’t have operational district hospitals. The territorial coverage in health structures offering PMTCT, screening and structures certified for care of the PLWHA do not allow universal access of the enclaved populations to prevention, care, treatment and support. This last insufficiency is accentuated by the weak involvement of the private sector and civil society in the national response to HIV. Medications, vaccinations and technologies: the insufficient logistical management of medications and related products is noted at the decentralized level, more particularly in the regions of the East (Bertoua) the Extreme North (Maroua) because of the difficulties of road access (inadequate estimates of the needs, storage and distribution conditions…) The absence of qualified personnel (pharmacist) at the central level (CNLS) for the coordination of management activities (forecasting, quantification) for medications and inputs and the absence of capacity strengthening for the actors involved in the management chain for medications exposed to risks of rupture of inventories at all levels of the SYNAME. As well, there is also insufficiency and antiquity of the equipment in the health facilities, particularly the care structures, accentuated by the absence of a system of maintenance. Health Information: the health information system is characterized by the weak capacity of the units to manage the data within the health structures leading to a weak promptitude and completeness of routine data. There is also an irregularity in the collection of information on the HIV infection tendencies among certain specific groups (sex workers, mean having sexual relations with men) and a weak coordination of the research, hindering the use of all of the data generated. There is not reliable information on the cost/benefits reports on the programs for the fight against HIV/Aids. The weak use of the strategic information available does note facilitate strategic decision-making adapted to the epidemiological context. Human resources: in the context of the care of PLWHA, the workload expressed in the form of a health personnel ratio in the population is very high: doctors: 1/13 468, medical-health personnel: 1/3 094, surgeons dentists: 1/105 882 (Sectoral Strategy for Health, Appendix 4). The personnel of the different sectors are weakly prepared to offer HIV services (prevention and overall care), this area not being integrated into the curricula of the initial training. In addition, ongoing training does not cover all of the needs, particularly for the PMTCT and the care of PLWHA including paediatric CM. This explains the implementation of the concept of guardianship. The weakness of the motivation of the personnel aggravates this quantitative and qualitative deficit which is more marked in the rural locations. This situation influences the quality of the offering of the preventions services, treatment, care nod support and leads inevitably to a “burn out”. Financing: more than three quarters of the expenses in health are supported directly by households (Sectoral Health Strategy Appendix 4). 50.6% of the Cameroon population lives belong the poverty level (ECAM III Appendix 17) and as a consequence the majority of the population does not access the offerings of health services including HIV. As well, the financing of the health sector in Cameroon remains below 15% of the national budget between 2001 and 2006 (PSN Evaluation 2006-2010 Appendix 16). As far as financing for the fight against aids, there is involvement of the Government in the financing of ARV costs (50%). However, it remains strongly dependent on external support. R10_CCM_CMR_H_PF_s3-5_4Oct10 17/101 ROUND 10 – HIV 4.3.3 Community Systems Describe the main weaknesses of and/or gaps in community systems that affect HIV outcomes. The participation of the community system is based on a collaboration and a complementarily between the structures of the health system and the organisms of the community system (NGO, the Associations or Community Groups, the faith-based organizations, the private sector, etc…) The main actors in this area are: (i) the CHW attached to CM structures and (ii) the VS, Peer Educators (PE) or health mediators attached to the OBC the activities of the OBC are focussed on promotion, information/counselling and the mobilization for the use of the health services. The CHW lead the following activities: (i) psychological and social monitoring of the PLWHA (under ARV treatment or not); (ii) assistance for treatment observance by way of therapeutic education and counselling in the health facilities; (ii) research and reintegration of those lost from view in the active file of the health facilities; (iv) running discussion groups, (v) nutritional education. A mechanism for monitoring interventions and for collecting data allows information from the community system to be captured. However, weaknesses exist at different levels: Weakness in the enabling environment and advocacy Advocacy is not sufficiently taken into account in the implementation of interventions by Communitybased organizations and Organizations of Civil Society. This is due to an insufficiency of skills of some actors, insufficiency of the documentation for interventions and the deficit in leadership. There is also a weakness of consultation and of coordination noted between the organizations and the civil society actors. Efforts carried out in matters of the protection of the rights associated with HIV remain insufficient. Stigmatization and discrimination are recurrent and are an obstacle for the prevention of new infections, access to care services and support for the ill (PPSAC report 2008). Weaknesses in Community coordination, networks, links and partnerships The absence of a formal coordination structure for the CHO leads to overlap in the implementation and non rational use of the available resources, which as a consequence the insufficiency of the coverage of needs of the national response. The weak involvement of the private sector (formal and informal) in the national response to the fight against HIV has as a consequence an insufficiency of coordination between the public, private and community sectors. Despite the efforts deployed by the Government, coalitions of businesses and certain partners in the in the promotion of the public-private partnership, the results remain below the potentialities of the sector, because of the absence of operational mechanisms to ensure the implementation of the partnership. Weaknesses in Resources and capacities The weaknesses of organizational capacities. The organizational insufficiency of certain associations has had as a consequence the weak involvement of the CHO in the development of policies and strategies as well as in the implementation of interventions. Weakness in the strategic approach. The interventions implemented by these organizations are not specific enough and put the accent on the project approach to the detriment of a program approach which is part of the strategic plan. The Weakness in mobilization, administrative and financial management. The CHO don’t always have a real strategy for the mobilisation of resources. There are no procedure manuals and administrative management tools, financial management and rendering of accounts. This leads to an inadequacy of the allocation of resources with respect to needs. This also influences their capability to implement interventions for the PLWHA, care and protection of the MARPs (Appendix 11). Weakness in logistics. Some organization lack logistical resources (operating equipment, computer equipment, etc.) Weakness in human resources is observed in the context of the offering of prevention, care and support services for the PLWHA and the groups most exposed to risk and vulnerable. This translates into insufficient numbers of people, leading to a full time use of volunteers with limited technical skills (Appendix 11). R10_CCM_CMR_H_PF_s3-5_4Oct10 18/101 ROUND 10 – HIV Weakness in the diversification of the offer of prevention, care and support services We observe little specialization in the targeted interventions; on the other hand the package of interventions delivered for a given target is often incomplete and the programmed interventions are not often based on real analysis of the situation. As well, these interventions remain general and don’t specifically address the preoccupations of these targets in terms of legal assistance for issues of stigmatization and discrimination related to these groups (Appendix 18). This would also allow this populations to have access to targeted prevention interventions, to know their serological status and they have available equitable access to care and treatment. Weaknesses of Monitoring evaluation and planning The weak capacity of the community system to report and analyze data does not allow decision-making based on evidence. The insufficiency of the supervisions of the organization of Civil Society in the implementation of the interventions limits the performance of their actors and the capitalization of acquisitions (Appendix 11). 4.3.4 Efforts to resolve weaknesses and gaps Describe what is being done, and by whom, to respond to health and community system weaknesses and gaps that affect HIV outcomes, as outlined in sections 4.3.2 and 4.3.3. To respond to these weaknesses and deficiencies affecting the results in the matter of the fight against HIV, measures have been taken, as follows: (i) Concerning the health system The operational unit for the care of the ARV and the Health District (HD). The placement on ARV treatment is carried out in specialized structures, notably the Care Units (UPEC) in the public, faithbased and private hospitals, and the Accredited Treatment Centres (CTA) at the level of the central, regional and Company private hospitals of the country. The framing of the UPEC in the care of patients on ARC is carried out by tutelage system developed since 2004 with the decentralization of care. The CTA which are structures with personal and a high performance technical platform serve as reference structures. They ensure the assurance/quality of the services offered by their subsidiaries, in the context of the overall care of the PLWHA, by way of training on site, supervision, the establishment in networks, internships for the UPEC agents in the CTA. Health system: 1. Provision of services The government by way of the Ministry of health has always maintained its contribution for the financing of ARC, medications for opportunistic infections, equipment and reagents for the biological examinations, as well as a good use of the PPTE funds oriented towards the sector of public health. The construction and rehabilitation of the District Hospitals and the Health Centres by the Government with support of the Partners (Islamic Development Bank, Development Disindebtedness Contract (C2D(Health), African Development Bank), which has allowed among other things to bring the PMTCT, prevention and CM services to the populations. The start-up of support activities in the health facilities for the implementation of an internal quality assurance system for HIV diagnosis in collaboration with CDC/GAP (Global AIDS Program) and WHO to improve the quality of screening; The implementation of a national quality assurance system for HIV diagnosis in collaboration with CDC/GAP (Global AIDS Program) and WHO to improve the quality of screening. The TB/HIV activities in the prison setting by GTZ in the context of prevention and treatment interventions for tuberculosis and screening for HIV. The implementation of Round 3, 4 and 5 interventions on HIV, Round 3 and 9 on Tuberculosis as well as 3, 5 and 9 for malaria have allowed and/or will allow important realizations in these areas: reinforcement of the health system (care and laboratories), reinforcement of capacities and rehabilitation of the CDT. This has led to the obtaining of R10_CCM_CMR_H_PF_s3-5_4Oct10 19/101 ROUND 10 – HIV significant progress in the areas of PMTCT, SMI, care of PLWHA, the reduction of morbidity and mortality related to the three diseases. 2. Human Resources The recruitment by the Ministry of Health and the making available of health facilities of 4421 health personnel of all categories on PPTE funds and C2D (France) to improve the health services offering including those related to HIV. The recruitment of 508 community health workers (CHW) in the community-based organizations such as the Associations of Persons Living with HIV and the making available of health facilities in the context of Round 3 and 1500 community volunteers by Round 4 to ensure the continuum of care. The establishment by the Ministry of Public Health in collaboration with OMS, ESTHER and the French Cooperation (C2D) of a Policy of guardianship of the UPEC by the CTA since 2007, allowing to train, in complementarity with Round 10, the newly recruited personnel, actualize knowledge and accompany the new structures in the operationalization of services and programs. The progressive training by the Ministry of Health of 3625 health agents (medical, paramedical) and 1371 community agents on the aspects of prevention and care for HIV infection including the management of medications. The signing of an agreement between the Ministry of Health and the Ministry of Secondary Education for the training of maintenance agents for health equipment including CD4 and PCR devices. 3. Medications, vaccinations and technology 4. A technical coordination cell for the supply of HIV inputs which brings together the CNLS, the Pharmaceutical Product Branch, the Department for the fight Against the Disease, the Clinton Foundation, CENAME, ESTHER, WHO, UNICEF and USAID, has been put in place to ensure the planning of medication needs. Health information 5. The establishment with OMS since 2007 of the surveillance program for resistances to ARV allowing useful information for the choice of therapeutic protocols to be available Financing A system of mutualisation is in process of experimentation in the northern regions intends to cover the health expenses related to PNC, birth and Caesareans with the assistance of the French Cooperation. The development of the public private partnership has led with the support of BIT to the establishments of care services for PLWHA in companies (CDC, HEVECAM, ALUCAM, PHP, SOCUCAM, CIMENCAM etc.) expanded to the surrounding communities. This partnership is reinforced by the signing in March 2010 of an agreement framework between the Ministry of Health and the employers’ association (GICAM) in order to promote co-investment in the fight against HIV\aids. Community system 1. 2. The enabling environments and advocacy Enabling environments and advocacy. The actions put in place consist of (i) the restructuring of the network of associations of PLWHA since 2008 and the establishment in 2009 of a Taskforce of actors of Civil Society involved in AIDS who mandate is to put in place “The Coalition of Civil Society of Cameroon against HIV/Aids” with the support of UNAIDS and PNUD; and (ii) the establishment of sectoral networks: private sector platforms (CCA-AIDS, CFBC), Alliance of Mayors and Municipal Authorities for the fight against HIV/aids, the Coordination group section Operational Partners (GCOP). Community experience aiming to involve men in the frequentation of SR/PMTCT services “men as partners” has been led in the North-West with support from UNICEF. Community coordination, networks, links and partnerships R10_CCM_CMR_H_PF_s3-5_4Oct10 20/101 ROUND 10 – HIV 3. Resources and capacities As far as resources and capacities, several initiative were put in place to reinforce the capacities of the actors of the community systems in the form of logistical support for the operating of RECAP+ and of the Alliance of Mayors against HIV. Several initiatives were put in place to reinforce the capacities of the actors of the community system in the form of (i) support for the operating of RECAP+ and other associations of PLWHA by ACMS, UNAIDS and CAMNAFAW, (ii) logical and technical support for associations of youths and unwed mothers by CAMNAFAW, GTZ, ACMS, IRESCO, UNFPA, UNESCO, UNICEF, and (iii) technical support for actors of the private sector by BIT and GTZ. The strengthening of capacities of 52 NGO/Associations working in the care of OVC between 2006 and 2009 in the context of Round 3. Support for the development of governance of the OSC by UE by way of the Support Programs for the Stucturalization of Civil Society Organizations (PASOC). Sixty five (65) companies GICAM, 9 companies from the BOIS subsidiary, 5 companies from the transport sector and 25 PME/PMI from Douala (CCA/Aids) benefited from capacity strengthening for their employers and works by BIT, as well as the development of policy and action plans for the fight against Aids in companies and the establishment of fight committees. 4. 4.4 The problems of coordination of the community response, find the beginnings of a solution in: the network of associations for the PLWHA, the employers’ associations, community, faith-based organizations and the Youth Network. The involvement of the private sector is reinforced by the promotion of the Public Private Partnership (PPP) (MINHEALTH – Private Sector) with the technical support of the International Work Office (BIT). The establishment by MINHEALTH of an ad hoc committee for monitoring the fight against HIV/Aids by civil society. Diversification of the offer of prevention, care and support services The service offers are more and more diversified towards the groups the most exposed to risk notably the MSM (by way of CAMNAFW and Alternative), incarcerated men, the SW, the truck drivers (ADMS, CHP by way of AWARE/USAID). Otherwise the private sector is involved by the designation of some medical services of companies as treatment centres and care centres for the PLWHA: Cameroon Development Cooperation (CDC), HEVECAM, ALUCAM, PHP. On the other hand, NGO diversify more and more their offer of service by orienting their interventions in the direction of SW, MSM and Truck drivers. This is the case with CARE/USAID by way of the Male as Partner project. Proposal strategy Complete this version of section 4.4.1 if the applicant selected option 2 or 3 in section 3.1 of the Proposal Form Option 2 = Transition to a single stream of funding during grant negotiation Option 3 = No transition to a single stream of funding in Round 10 4.4.1 Interventions Describe the objectives, service delivery areas (SDA), and activities of the proposal. The description must be organized in that exact order and the numbering system must match the Performance Framework, detailed budget and work plan. The description must reference: (a) who will implement each area of activity (e.g. Principal Recipient, Sub-recipient or other implementer); and R10_CCM_CMR_H_PF_s3-5_4Oct10 21/101 ROUND 10 – HIV (b) the targeted population(s). Goal 1: Reduce new HIV infections of new born through PMTCT Cameroon has opted for virtual elimination of TME. It is as such that strategic axis 1 of the NSP 20112015 aims to cover 90% of the seropositive pregnant women and 100% of the infants exposed to HIV. This proposal focuses on 70% of the needs and the rest will be covered by the Government and the other partners. The proposal contributes to the needs of pregnant women and infants by way of interventions relative to pillars 3 and 4 of the prevention of HIV in this group. This requires the establishment of strategies aiming to increase access and use of PNC services by pregnant women as well as the improvement of the services offered including PMTCT. The 1st pillar, centred on the primary prevention of infection among women of procreating age, especially young girls of 15-24 years of age will be taken into account by the government and its other partners. These last will support also the aspects of the 2nd pillar which is the prevention of unwanted pregnancies amongst seropositive women. The strategies of notification of partners, comprehensive PMTCT, the CM of infants allowing improvement of the frequentation of partners of pregnant women in the PMTCT services. The interventions of community mobilization aim for both the pregnant women and their partner in order to increase the use of health services. Objective 1.1: Increase from 35% to 80% the proportion of pregnant women who benefit from at least one CPN including screening for HIV by 2015 These interventions aim to improve the access to screening counselling from 333,386 to 859,655 pregnant women seen in PNC from 2011 to 2015 in the 178 health districts. The coordination will be ensured by the PR governmental and a sub recipient coming from civil society. The implementation will be ensure by the health personnel (in the health facilities) and civil society (in the community). SDA 1.1.1: RSC: Advocacy, communication and social mobilization The civil society organizations and the community volunteers coming from various organizations will organize the actions of continuous and permanent social mobilization and the awareness outreach in the neighbourhoods and villages with a view to increase the frequentation of health services (SMI/SR/FP/PMTCT/HIV) by pregnant women and their spouses as well as a direct support to HIV seropositives. The activities of the CV will be ensured by 1600 OBC (the mother providers, HIV+ mothers, Women’s associations, support groups, PLWHA associations, religious confessions…). These activities of the OBC will allow research for those lost sight of and their effective mobilization for the PNC services. The proposal will contribute to the development and the multiplication of promotion tools for the interventions. As well, it will support the radio broadcast communication by contracting with 75 community radios who will broadcast messages appropriate for the local cultural context on the SMI/SR/FP/PMTCT/HIV. The advocacy actions supported by the Government and Round 10 will be organized in the direction of women’s associations, opinion leaders, traditional authorities, religious authorities and decision makers at all levels in order to promote PNC and PMTCT. The coordination will be ensured by the PR governmental: MINHEALTH and the implementation will be ensure an SR coming from civil society: CARE and other SR from civil society. Targets: pregnant women, partners of pregnant women, community leaders The main activities of this SDA are: 1.1.1.1 Train 3200 CV (women and men) coming from 1600 OBC in the 178 health districts on communication and social mobilization techniques (for the PMTCT, care) 1.1.1.2 Organize bi-monthly sessions of community dialogue (CIP, home visits, research for lost from sight) by the CV for the mobilization of pregnant women and their spouse for years 1, 2, 3 1.1.1.3 Design communication tools to promote access to the PNC and SSR in the community setting for the mobilization of women (especially those lost from sight) and their partners 1.1.1.4 Produce interpersonal communications tools in the community setting for the mobilization of women and their partners for PMTCT 1.1.1.5 Contract with 75 community radios and training the facilitators for the broadcasting of R10_CCM_CMR_H_PF_s3-5_4Oct10 22/101 ROUND 10 – HIV communications messages adapted to the local context for the mobilization of women and their partners for PMTCT 1.1.1.6 Organize 02 national days of social mobilization for PMTCT and SR (caravans broadcasting messages, moving cinema, theatre) in the large gathering places of neighbourhoods and villages 1.1.1.7 Organize 05 advocacy sessions at the level of the health districts at the place for presidents of female associations, religious leaders, village chiefs and access to PMTCT/SR in years 1 and 2 1.1.1.8 Organize 02 advocacy sessions/training sessions in each FS to improve the reception of patients (pregnant women, partners, PLWHA, etc…) in the different services in years 1 and 2 1.1.1.9 Organize integrated activities for awareness outreach for parents, community volunteers, women’s associations, association of seropositive mothers and the other community actors. 1.1.1.10 Provide the 05 SR with office and computer equipment for the monitoring and reporting of PMTCT and CM community activities and prevention in the direction of groups of risk 1.1.1.11 Acquire 06 4x4 vehicles for the supervision of the implementation of PMTCT activities, community CM and prevention in the groups at risk by the NGO and OBC. SDA 1.1.2 HSS (Health system strengthening): Health professionals SDA Description: This SDA will allow strengthening of the capacities of health professions in order to respond in the long term in the improvement of services of maternal and infant health. The MINHEALTH will ensure the application and the monitoring of decisions relative to the harmonization of PNC costs and the births in all of the health facilities. They will develop the integrated DCIP (Screening Counselling Initiated by the Provider) training documents, SONEU (Obstetrical and Neonatal Emergency Care), SR (Reproductive Health), Nutrition in the HIV context, early screening, FP (Family Planning). The country has 102 trainers available. This proposal thus aims to train 254 trainers of health providers. These trainings would take place as a cascade, starting from the central level to the operational level for a coverage of all of the health structures in trained personnel. The post training monitoring will be carried out during the joint supervisions carried out by the DS team. This capacity strengthening strategy for providers adds to training in counselling screening of 1052 providers initiated in years 1 and 2 in the context of Round 5. Round 10 will also support the carrying out of supervision. The Government ensures, under C2D financing from 2011, the strengthening of capacities of personnel with 901 health trainings in SONEU including PMTCT. As well, the development partners (UNICEF, OMS, UNFPA) will support the development of the modules. The coordination and the implementation of the activities will be done by the PR governmental: MINHEALTH Targets: health providers of the FS The main activities of this SDA are: 1.1.2.1 Produce and disseminate the SMI training modules: PMTCT/Reproductive Health/SONEU (Obstetrical and Neonatal Emergency Care) 1.1.2.2 Train 254 trainers of health providers of the health system and of the community system on the maternal and infant health package (SMI) 1.1.2.3 Train/retrain 3336 health providers (02 per FS among 1668 FS out of 2569) in PMTCT/SONEU 1.1.2.4 Organize training sessions of 10 working days for 1500 health personnel in the PMTCT reference centres (post-training session) 1.1.2.5 Organize post-training supervision missions (2nd level tutelage) SDA 1.1.3 Testing and counselling SDA Description: The screening of pregnant women will be done according to the “opt out” approach R10_CCM_CMR_H_PF_s3-5_4Oct10 23/101 ROUND 10 – HIV in fixed strategy (by promoting screening at the initiative of the provider) in the FS and the community care structures; in advanced strategy by the health centre managers during their descents into the community for health interventions (TPI, vaccination, mosquito nets). The pregnant women will be tested on the finger by the health personnel with provision of the results the same day. At the level of the community, the CHW (community health worker, trained and competent) in collaboration with the health personnel will proceed with pre and post counselling. The CHW will work in tight collaboration with the community volunteers to identify pregnant women needing the screening test. This proposal will ensure the purchase of reagents for the screening of pregnant women at the rate of 20% of the needs of the proposal, the rest being ensured by MINHEALTH as part of the funding for PPTE and the other partners. The CHW (508 former and 100 new) will be provided with screening kits and trained on the counselling and technique of screening using the finger. The coordination and the implementation of the activities will be done by the PR governmental: MINHEALTH Targets: pregnant women seen in PNC The main activities of this SDA are: 1.1.3.1 Acquire for a national supply of reagents and consumables for the screening counselling in PNC/PTME (routine screening, sentinel PMTCT sites, operational research) 1.1.3.2 Train 608 CHW community health workers on the counselling and technique of rapid screening 1.1.3.3 Provide the 608 CHW (508 former and 100 new) with integrated counselling kits (box, jacket, tools for IEC, book for data management). Objective1.2: Increase from 19% to 70% the proportion of seropositive pregnant women and their infants who receive ARV to prevent MCT by 2015 This will require covering by 2015, 57,167 HIV+ pregnant women and 57,167 newborns born of seropositive mothers in the 178 health districts SDA 1.2.1: PMTCT SDA Description: This SDA will ensure the passage from the scale of the offer of PMTCT services to the pregnant women. All of the HIV+ pregnant women received in PNC will be consulted on nutritional practices for the child and observance of the taking of the ARV and cotrimoxazole. These HIV+ women will benefit from the lymphocyte counting CD4. Those needing ARV treatment for their own health (CD4˂350) will be oriented in the context of the overall care for adults. The others (CD4˃350) will receive the ARV for prophylaxis according to the recommendation of WHO 2009 following option A adopted by Cameroon (Appendix 19). These women will receive the ARV treatments (in the form of a single treatment package Mother Baby Pack (MBP). This proposal will support the actions aiming to combine the needs in ARV and other inputs relative to PMTCT. As well, it will contributed up to 70% in 2015 of the target PMTCT of the NSP 2011-2015 and the 10% remaining will be covered by the Government and its partners. The interventions of social mobilization aiming to increase the frequentation of PNC services by pregnant women and the coverage in ARC of HIV+ pregnant women are already described in SDA 1.1.1 and 1.1.2 for objective 1.1, and will contribute to the attaining of objective 1.2. The coordination will be ensured by the PR governmental: MINHEALTH and the implementation of the activities ensured by the MINHEALTH in collaboration with the SR of civil society: CBC Targets: seropositive pregnant women seen in PNC and their infants The main activities of this SDA are: 1.2.1.1 Provide 128,761 single packets (MBP) of APV medications (ARV, cotrimoxazole) necessary for the seropositive pregnant women and the infant for prophylaxis 1.2.1.2 Acquire 184 kits for nutritional rehabilitation (Image boxes, scale, height measure, tape measure WHO table of growth standards) for 23 CTA for nutritional rehabilitation 1.2.1.3 Equip 120 of the community care structures in tools for monitoring evaluation (registers, R10_CCM_CMR_H_PF_s3-5_4Oct10 24/101 ROUND 10 – HIV summary sheets) and consumables for the PNC/PMTCT Objective 1.3: Increase from 16 to 70% the proportion of exposed infants tested for HIV (PCR) at 6 weeks by 2015 The access to early diagnosis will be offered to 57,167 exposed infants in 2015 in the 10 Regions. SDA 1.3.1: HSS (Health System Strengthening): Health professionals SDA Description: This SDA aims to strengthen the capacities of providers in view of the extension of the national network for collection, shipping of all of the samples (DBS) from the FS to the reference laboratories and the return of results. The proposal will ensure the training of 06 doctors and or biology technicians specialized in DIU of molecular biology The laboratories of the regional structures will be trained in the collection of samples on blotting paper, the management of inputs, communication and the transmission of data. The coordination and the implementation of the activities will be done by the PR Governmental: MINHEALTH Targets: Health professionals The main activities of this SDA are: 1.3.1.1 Train/retrain 18 regional laboratory and national reference (CIRCB and CDC) personnel on the early diagnosis of HIV among children born to seropositive mothers; 1.3.1.2 Train at the DIU (international course) 06 doctors/technicians as national reference people in molecular biology 1.3.1.3 Train the providers of the PMTCT sites on the collection of samples of DBS (taken into account in SDA 1.1.2) SDA 1.3.2: HSS (Health System Strengthening): Provision of services SDA Description: The PCR devices of the reference laboratories are used for early diagnosis. The functioning of these laboratories will be reinforced by the training of 06 doctors and/or technicians specialists in biology, the acquisition of additional equipment and a maintenance contract for the said equipment. These laboratories will be supplied with PCR reagents and the health facilities will be provided with kits for sampling and monitoring tools. A network centred on the district and assimilated hospitals will facilitate the regrouping and shipping of all of the DBS sampled in the health facilities offering PMTCT in each Health District and the return of the early diagnosis results. The coordination will be ensured by the PR Governmental: MINHEALTH and the implementation of the activities ensured by the MINHEALTH in collaboration with the SR of civil society: CBC Targets: reference laboratories, FS in the HD The main activities of this SDA are: 1.3.2.1 1.3.2.2 1.3.2.3 Contract with a transport agency for the samples between the collecting centre and the reference laboratory for the return in real time of the results of early diagnosis Supply the 02 reference laboratories with inputs for early diagnosis Produce the management tools (book of sheets for examination request, books of shipping sheets) Goal 2: Reduce the new infection by HIV among the SW, MSM, Truck Drivers and their partners Goal 2 of this proposal aims to reduce the new infections by HIV among the populations the most exposed to risk (SW, MSM and truck drivers) and their partners by way of offering a package of interventions that are coherent and integrated including: BCC, the promotion and supply of condoms,, the syndromic care of STIs, counselling and HIV screening, as well as the fight against stigmatization and discrimination. The overall care (ARV, OI) in favour of these groups is taken into account in the interventions of SDA 3.1.2 of Goal 3. R10_CCM_CMR_H_PF_s3-5_4Oct10 25/101 ROUND 10 – HIV Objective 2.1: Ensure the access to prevention services and the reduction of discrimination to 14240 MSM, 39,440 SW and 148,800 Truck Drivers in the 10 regions by 2015 SDA 2.1.1 BCC – Community truck stops and schools The proposal aims to organize meetings and educational discussions in order to bring the groups the most exposed to risk to use the prevention services. These meetings and discussion sessions will take place in the activity zones of the different groups (bars/cabarets, meeting places, truck parks, companies). Prevention kits will be acquired and available from peer educators for the SW and Truck Drivers, and health mediators for the MSM for demonstrations. The training will be ensured by the peer educators (PE) and health mediators (HM) coming from the OBC working with the different targets. Also the BCC manuals (brochures, flyers, posters etc.) specific to each group will be produced and distributed. The coordination will be ensured by the PR of civil society: CAMNAFAW, and the implementation by the SR involved in these groups: CHP, Presse Jeune Target: 148,800 Truck Drivers, 39,440 SW, 14,240 MSM and their partners The main activities of this SDA are: 2.1.1.1 Organize training for the managers of the 120 OBC working with the target groups and their partners on the questions related to the access to integrated prevention services and the care of the populations the most exposed to HIV risk (MARPs) 2.1.1.2 Train and retrain the supervisors coming from the 12f0 OBC on the questions related to rights, access to integrated prevention and care 2.1.1.3 Design/multiply and disseminate 3500 copies of the reference guide for peer education ion all of the MARP locations 2.1.1.4 Train and retain 11584 peer educators in the SW group on the techniques of peer education, life skills and reproductive health 2.1.1.5 Train and retrain 535 health mediator in the MSM group on the techniques of peer education, life skills and reproductive health, sexo-specificity related to gender, promotion and correct use of the condom 2.1.1.6 Design and produce integrated prevention supports and for the promotion of access to care adapted to each group most exposed to risk (SW, MSM and Truck Drivers) 2.1.1.7 Acquire 2119 tools and IEC/BCC materials for the peer educators (1584) and health mediators (535) 2.1.1.8 Organize 136,764 educational discussion groups with the SW, MSM, Truck Drivers for the reinforcement of the prevention of STI\HIV and access to care 2.1.1.9 Organize 05 regional experience exchange meetings between the peer educators and supervisors 2.1.1.10 Organize 02 biannual supervision missions of the SR towards the OBC and 04 quarterly supervision missions (OBC) towards the PE and MS. SDA 2.1.2: RSD Development of linkages, collaboration and community coordination Description of SDA: This requires updating the mapping of public, private and community health structures offering or able to offer services to these populations in respect of their specificities and their needs.

The description must be organized in that exact order and the numbering system must match the Consolidated Performance Framework, detailed budget and work plan. The narrative description of the Round 10 interventions should reflect all objectives, service delivery areas (SDAs), and activities in the Round 10 consolidated disease proposal, but distinguish between what programming is being continued from existing grants versus new programming for Round 10. The description must identify: (1) who will implement each area of activity (e.g. Principal Recipient, Sub-recipient or other implementer); (2) the targeted population(s); (3) what changes in implementation and/or the targeted population(s) have occurred, if any, for those elements which are from existing grants and continuing in this consolidated disease proposal; (4) any links between the existing grant activities to be continued in the consolidated disease proposal, as these activities previously existed in separate grants; (5) any links between the proposed activities and existing Global Fund grants for other diseases or HSS; and (6) how duplication will be avoided if there are linkages identified in points (4) and (5) above. NA (b) Changes to existing SDAs, programmatic activities, indicators and targets In the table below, list the SDAs and activities of existing grants consolidated within the Round 10 consolidated disease proposal.

In particular, if there has been discontinuation or change in indicators or if targets have been changed between previous grants and the Round 10 proposal, describe why this has occurred. NA 4.4.2 Addressing weaknesses from a previous category 3 proposal If relevant describe how the weaknesses identified in the TRP Review Form of a previous category 3 proposal have been addressed. TRP Comment R9 Response Major weaknesses The approach of the most at risk populations identified is not focused. It includes broad activities without dealing with their specificities and factors that determine their vulnerability (e.g., dealing with the disabled who have lower HIV prevalence than general population). Tuberculosis/HIV coinfection is barely mentioned (as an Opportunistic Infection (OI)) and there is no demonstration of the existence of a plan to address coinfection in any of the directions (HIV prevention, screening and treatment among tuberculosis patients and tuberculosis screening, prevention and treatment among HIV patients). The prevention of mother-tochild transmission (PMTCT) targets are underestimated for an intervention that is simple and which can have a very important impact. There is no mention of PMTCT guidelines to be followed and infant feeding. Although there is a whole section on PMTCT, no impact or outcome indicators are presented in the performance framework to measure the progress of the program in the country. The Round 10 proposal has taken into account the observations of TRP concerning the populations most exposed to HIV risk and relies on: The epidemiological situation in Cameroon which shows an elevated prevalence in the populations most exposed (seroprevalance of 36% among sex workers and 16.4 among truck drivers), rate of seropositivity of 35% in a group of MSM tested.. On the specific needs of the MARPs identified during land visits and meetings with the SW and the MSM in Yaoundé and Douala. This proposal has taken into consideration this observation. The TB/HIV coinfection is integrated in Round 9 of the TB proposal (accepted) and in HIV Round 5 in so far as concerns the HIV screening of those with tuberculosis. So that the monitoring and care of TB-HIV coinfection is sustainable over time, Round 10 will reply on the mechanisms of technical coordination for the HIV and TB program at all levels. The training of providers on TB/HIV coinfection will be organized in the PLWHA care structures. This Round 10 proposal makes PMTCT a major axis (Goal 1), which is part of the national and international perspective for the virtual elimination of the transmission of HIV from mother to child in the 5 coming years (based on option « A » of the new WHO 2009 directives on the PMTCT and the feeding of young children). The increase in coverage of the services for mother and child, their use and improvement of the quality are the main activities of the PMTCT. The community mobilisation must allow increased access to this basic service and significant reduction of the mother to child transmission of HIV. The targets in matters of PMTCT have been reviewed and the objectives defined with the view to the virtual elimination of MCT. This proposal aims to cover 80% of pregnant women by 2015. This Round 10 proposal making PMTCT a major axis (Goal 1) has integrated the indicators of the effects and impact of which some are taken up again in the context of performance, such as : The percentage of pregnant women received in PNC and knowing their serological status The percentage of HIV+ pregnant women receiving a complete ARV R10_CCM_CMR_H_PF_s3-5_4Oct10 39/101 ROUND 10 – HIV regime to reduce the transmission of HIV from mother to child The percentage of children born of HIV+ mothers receiving an ARV prophylaxis The percentage of infants born to HIV+ mothers benefiting from a PCR (early diagnosis) at 06 weeks The percentage of infants infected by HIV born of HIV+ mothers This proposal gives an inventory of the situation and a mapping of the existing laboratory equipment (NAC : Report on the state of laboratory equipment, Appendix 20). It is based on an analysis of the deficiencies and the needs in the area of diagnostics and biological monitoring of patients. The analysis has allowed the carrying out of an inventory of what is available in terms of laboratory equipment (complementarity with previous Rounds) and an estimation of needs. These last are a function of the passage to the scale of the TAR and the PMTCT (early diagnosis of newborns, CD4 counts for pregnant women) in the context of the virtual elimination of the mother child transmission and the universal access for the 2015 horizon In so far as concerns genotyping see the response to question 7 below. This HIV Round 10 proposal relies on the analysis of financial and programmatic deficiencies. This proposal aims for universal access, however the national financing and financial support of development partners has not allows this objective to be obtained. The Round 10 financing will thus be in complement to the Government financing and the financing of its partners in development. As well in the section 4.4.7 the analysis has allowed it to be show that Round 10 will have no overlap with Rounds 3, 4 and 5 in so far as the moment that R10 starts, the previous Rounds will be closed. In this proposal, interventions are planned for :: 1- preventing the occurrence of resistance to ART by: The respect of ART treatment protocols Reinforcement of observance by therapeutic education, the active research of those lost from sight by way of the intervention of CHW (Community Health Workers)/CV (Community Volunteers) Reinforcement of the Procurement Supply Management (PSM) to avoid ruptures in inventory at all levels. 2- Genotyping will assist in the surveillance of the emergence of primary resistance and acquired to optimize the efficiency of the first and second line therapeutic protocols. The country is requesting a grant for the purchase of equipments and reagents for viral load, CD4, PCR and genotyping without a clear map and description of what is already in place Non Global Fund funds are listed but there is no comprehensive additional/complementary description in relation to the present proposal. The proposal previews several studies on ART resistance (including primary resistance) but there is no indication of strategies to deal with the problem that will certainly be created. The OVC component targets 166 districts out of 174 districts. (http://www.unicef.org/wcaro/wcaro _CAM_factsheet_HEALTH.pdf). Objective 5, on the other hand, will focus on 5 health districts (page 41/89). There is no information on the geographical or epidemiological criteria used to exclude or include the districts in each of the cases. In this Round 10 proposal, the choice of Orphans and Vulnerable Children (OVC) is not in relation to the health districts. It aims more all of the OVC who have lost 1 or 2 parents following HIV infection and so the protective environment is very destructured. This Round continues the CM of OVC in 84 intervention sites which cover all of the country. The monitoring and evaluation system for ARV patients is inadequately described. Since 2002, Cameroon has been committed to an ambitious program aiming to facilitate the access to treatment for PLWHA with therapeutic indication. The national active file was 76,228 PLWHA at the end of December 2009, the Ministry of Health has adopted the WHO recommendations (December 2009) and treatments have been standardized to facilitate patient monitoring. The monitoring registries for R10_CCM_CMR_H_PF_s3-5_4Oct10 40/101 ROUND 10 – HIV patients on ARV are available in the care sites within the framework of the monitoring/evaluation system and there are responsible personnel. The data on the TAR are collected and sent monthly to the health facilities in the Region. The TARV information for the regions is sent quarterly to the central level. These last are subject to a compilation and quarterly publications (progress reports). The traceability of HIV+ patients on TARV is done by way of a unique indentifying number which is anonymous and which is recorded in all of the site registries (pre-ART registries, ART, pharmacy, etc. The ESOPE software made available by GIP-ESTHER serves to receive the data for individual monitoring or the active file of patients on ARV. It will be progressively extended to all CTA tutors and the tutored UPC which will then be equipped with a database. The managers (operators) look after the database and will document the information obtained. As well, the PMTCT monitoring and paediatric care will use the “paediatric” version of ESOP will should be available at the end of 2010. The Esope system allows the centralization of indicators for which the regular analysis (biannual) will provide information on the evolution of the access program for ARV. The weaknesses identified by the TRP in Round 7 and Round 8 have been discussed in the relevant sections of the proposal but have not all been fully addressed. The commentaries of Round 7 and Round 8 were based around the problematic of the most exposed populations, the supply of ARV, the basic data and the importance of indicators of effect and impact which were elaborated in the proposal for Series 7 and 8 of the Global Fund. To this effect, this Round 10 proposal has considered as a priority axis the populations the most exposed to risk (Goal 2) and the availability of ARV (Goal 3). The round 10 proposal has defined a performance plan based on the impact and effect indicators related to the different interventions and to the instruction of the Global Fund Round 10. The commentaries of Round 7 and 8 established the state of the interventions and the expected impacts, and the organization of the SR and PR for the implementation of programmed activities within the framework of these rounds. This Round 10 proposal presents an organizational schema with two avenues of financing: a PR Governmental (Ministry of Health) and a PR Civil Society (CAMNAFAW). In so far as concerns the monitoring evaluation system, this Round 10 proposal has done an analysis based on the 12 components of UNAIDS and considers the evaluation monitoring as a priority and strategic axis for the implementation of the proposal (Goal 4). Finally, in recognition of the Rounds 7 and 8 commentaries, a summary is submitted as an appendix (Appendix 21) Minor Weaknesses Regarding the budget: some budget items seem to be inappropriately costed (actual budget costs/more realistic unit costs). For instance, male condoms: €0.0823/ €0.025; desktops: €1,143/ €750; vehicles: €30,490/ € 20,000. This Round 10 proposal relies on the national consolidated unit costs with the LFA from the proposals of Rounds 3, 4 and 5 by taking into account the national procurement procedures. Some unit costs are aligned with those of Rounds 9 on tuberculosis and malaria which are already accepted. The CCM Cameroon drafting committee will oversee the avoidance of errors in the logic of the budgetary framework. Further clarifications are needed on, for instance, training of PMTCT staff, training of laboratory The aspects of training for laboratories and providers in PMTCT are adapted to the activities defined in each of the components and sub components. This proposals provides detailed information on the training R10_CCM_CMR_H_PF_s3-5_4Oct10 41/101 ROUND 10 – HIV technicians. Pharmaceutical budget costs and Attachment B need to be reconciled. For instance, supply health units in PTME and PECP inputs (ARV, OI prophylactics). as well as on the strategies and the associated budgets. Budgetary coherence and consolidation of the costs in the PSM form. 4.4.3 Lessons learned from implementation experience How do the implementation plans and activities described in 4.4.1 above draw on lessons learned from program implementation (from either Global Fund financed or non-Global Fund financed programs)? The activities described in section 4.4.1 draw from and rely on the lessons learned from the implementation of NSP 2006-2010. These teachings can be situated at several levels: Access to prevention in favour of the priority groups Thanks to IDA financing, there has been a large community implication in the fight against HIV and Aids by way of the mobilization of populations at the level of the Communes, Businesses and Religious Confessions for the prevention (BCC, screening, promotion of the use of condoms). This mobilization was realized with the support of the civil society organizations. As well, 7,530 base communities, 180 associations and networks of association for PLWHA, 21 public sector, 128 religious organizations, 104 companies and unions, 116 NGO/Associations etc were mobilized. The effective implication of the local decentralized collectivities and their leadership in the actions of NSP 2011-2015 will allow development of mechanisms of appropriation and sustainability of the interventions by community actors. Within the context of this proposal the capacities of the OSC will be reinforced in terms of planning, management and search for funding in order to avoid stopping the activities as soon as the funding ends (sustainability). The experience of Round 4 and the interventions sustained by the other partners has shown the use of mass medias as means of communications adapted to incite a change in behaviour among the young. However these media have shown they are limited in the capturing of some groups, such as the SW and MSM. The Round 10 proposal aims to capitalize on the existing OSC to attain the target groups by way of outreach communication. - The counselling and voluntary screening in advanced strategy implemented by way of the Mobile Units acquired with IDA financing allowing populations to be reached that were not well covered by health services or those not having spontaneously screening services. The mobilization of personnel of the local health facilities facilitated the orientation of people diagnosed HIV+ towards the care structures. This proposal will continue this experience in the direction of the targeted groups (SW, MSM, Truck Drivers) with the involvement of the OSC in order to ensure the continuum of care among people tested positive. - The distribution of condoms based on the community-based strategies has shown its effectiveness on the availability and use of condoms. At the same time the involvement of men increases the acceptance and use of the female condom The implementation of this proposal strengthens this strategy, contributing also to the reduction of the incidence of HIV in the general population and in the high risk groups in particular. -The involvement of beneficiaries in the development of strategies aimed for the groups the most exposed to risk as well as the PLWHA, will be done in more depth and systematized in order to extend the access to services and the consolidation of acquisitions. - The creation of an exchange space, for dialogue and meeting between providers of the health facilities, community works and others involved (security,, social affairs, territorial administration and civil society) has allowed an increase in the credibility and frequentation of the FS by the SW for the city of Yaoundé. This best practice will be capitalized on within the framework of this proposal to R10_CCM_CMR_H_PF_s3-5_4Oct10 42/101 ROUND 10 – HIV improve the interventions for this group. Experiences on PMTCT The PMTCT activities developed in Round 5 allowed for an improvement in coverage and access to PNC services (35% of the pregnant women expected benefited from HIV screening in PNC in 2009) and the ARV prophylaxis for seropositive pregnant women. However, the weak involvement of the community actors and the rarity of mobilization interventions for the pregnant women were a brake to the efforts deployed for the improvement of accessibility, use of PMTCT services. This proposal will place particular emphasis on the community mobilization of pregnant women and their partners in order to increase the coverage of screening in PNC to 80%. Access to treatment and care in favour of the eligible adult and children PLMHA - The policy of free ARV and the MIO associated with the subsidy for biological examination has allowed an increase in the active file of people on ART going from 36,033 in June 2007 to 73,114 adults in December 2009. This policy will be pursued within the framework of this proposal as well as the experience of decentralization of the care by way of a network of CTA/UPC covering all of the county towns and health districts. - the establishment of early diagnosis per PCR from the 6th week par the use of DBS and the implementation of the ministerial decision on the paediatric care by ARV has allowed the number of infants on ARV to be doubled in two years going from 1700 in 2007 to 3114 in 2009. Coordination and monitoring evaluation of the program - The lessons drawn from the implementation of monitoring evaluation indicating the necessity of harmonizing the indicators of monitoring evaluation at different levels: harmonization of the national indicator in relation with SNIS, between the different PR and SR, with the community sector. - The irregularity of coordination and discussion meetings between the different people involved, the deficit in communication and the difficulty of managing the financial flow at different level between the different backers, the insufficiency in human resources are also factors which weaken coordination. This last will be strengthened with the aim for a complementarity of actions and an improvement in geographical coverage of the people involved and the targets. - The lessons drawn in the area of human resources have show that their weak number (quantitative and qualitative) is a limiting factor for the data collection system (promptitude and completeness). This has been partially corrected by the recruitment of register filling agents within the framework of COS of Round 3 and will be reinforced by the Round 10 proposal including the strengthening of their capacities. 4.4.4 Enhancing TB/HIV collaborative activities Describe: (a) (b) how the proposal will contribute to strengthening TB/HIV collaborative activities; and the collaboration between the National TB program and the HIV services of your country. Cameroon has just benefited from a Round 9 Global Fund subsidy for the Tuberculosis component. This subsidy has the objective of (i) improving the quality of services in the CDT, (ii) controlling the coinfection of TB/HIV and bringing from 60% to 90% the HIV screening of tuberculosis patients, (iii) sustaining the populations affected by TB and (iv) promoting operational research via the conducting of national studies on the resistance to anti-tuberculins and on the study of the transmission of TB. The HIV Round 5 proposal integration the actions with lead to the reduction of the impact of Tuberculosis among HIV+ patients by way of diagnosis and prevention of tuberculosis among HIV+ patients (prevent with Isoniazide). The implementation of the interventions is carried out in 10 of the 140 functional care structures for PLWHA and has allowing the placement on preventative treatment of Isoniazide (TIP) of 806 patients HIV+ out of 1017 planned between 2006 and April 2010. The evaluation of these interventions will allow the collection of evidence on the effectiveness of this prevention in the Cameroon context with an aim to take it to scale. The integration of HIV screening among tuberculosis patients in the 216 existing Diagnostic and Treatment Centres for Tuberculosis (CDT) has allowed improvement of the care of HIV/Aids among R10_CCM_CMR_H_PF_s3-5_4Oct10 43/101 ROUND 10 – HIV tuberculosis patients. This proposal aims to consolidate this acquisition by way of the pursuit of the making available of cotrimozazole and the antiretrovirals in the CDT centres as well as the training of providers in the care of HIV/TB coinfection. In this Round, the contribution of Civil Society (association of PLWHA) and the community actors will allow improvement of the community care of tuberculosis among HIV+ patients as described in SDA 3.1.6. At the same time, this proposal, by contributing to the training and retraining of providers in the ARV treatment centres on the care of TB/HIV coinfection will assist with the integration of the TB activities in the services responsible exclusively for the care of the PLWHA. A formal and operational reference and counter reference framework exists between the HIB and TB programs. The working group on TB/HIV coinfection, made of different actors, including civil society and the beneficiaries ensures the joint planning, monitoring evaluation and harmonization of interventions for TB/HIV coinfection and also contributes to the quality of care for patients. 4.4.5 Enhancing social and gender equality Using specific references to objectives, SDAs, and activities included in section 4.4.1, explain how the Round 10 interventions address issues related to social and gender equality and confirm that these items have been properly costed in the budget. Problems related to Gender and to Human Rights are elaborated throughout the interventions in the different parts of the proposal: Equality of access to PMTCT services: The efforts of the PMTCT are centred on women and their specific needs to encourage their adhesion to this program. However, the PMTCT program treats mainly women as mothers and looks to involve the father and siblings of the newborn. In addition, the involvement of men should increase the numbers of women frequenting maternal and infant health services including PNC1. In effect, the lessons acquired from the experiences of “males as partners” shows this. The interventions for access to services of the PMTCT are also aimed at young girls of 15-24 years because of the prevalence of HIV in this age bracket. As well, because of the fact that the heads of family influence the access of women to health care and they have financial control, their involvement is thus primordial to attain the objectives for PMTCT services. The overall strategy for this “HIV” strategy will contribute to the respect of the equality of gender in the access to services according to different types of interventions. Several actions of advocacy, social mobilization and community mobilization are based on the responsibilization of women, women’s associations, HIV+ mothers, “mother providers” as much in the rural environment as in the urban. Goal 3 targets women and mention during advocacy/social mobilization campaigns with the aim to increase the frequentation of PNC services. Goal 3 integrates particularly pregnant women eligible for antiretroviral therapy. Taking into account the MARPs (SW, MSM and Truck Drivers) and equitable access to health and treatment services The predominance of the target young within the MARPs (SW, MSM, truck drivers) is a reality which constitutes a preoccupation in the priority interventions of this proposal. The community approach and the strengthening of the collaboration with the health system will allow populations the most exposed to HIV risk to have equitable access to the interventions of prevention,, treatment, care and support, by reducing the stigmatization and the discrimination in the respect of their specificities and their rights (goal 2, objective 2.1). The interventions on the issue of violence based on gender is taken into account in the strengthening of the capacities of health mediators and peer educators in SDA 2.1.1 and SDA 2.1.2. Equality of access to screening and treatment services (ARV, MIO) In the policy of access to care structures, there is no discrimination or limitation related to sex. However there are sociocultural factors which have had an impact on the access to these services. The proposal will implement interventions to alleviate these limits (SDA 2.1.6 and SDA 3.2.2). In a situation of dependence vis-à-vis her spouse, the seropositive woman often has difficulties in sharing her results with the former by fear of a rejection or rupture. This situation which exposes the spouse to HIV infection is also the cause of inobservance of treatments with its corollaries. A higher level of R10_CCM_CMR_H_PF_s3-5_4Oct10 44/101 ROUND 10 – HIV education and financial dependence do not protect women from violence related to gender either. The survey carried out in Cameroon in 2009 by GTZ on the violence towards women revealed that they are often victims of violence related to gender (Appendix 22). The screening counsellors and the ARC are especially trained under the framework of SDA 1.1.3 on the approach to HIV screening and the sharing of results between spouses or partners. Gender sensitive care and treatment The care of PLWHA in Cameroon is based on the principles of universality and equity of access to treatment, care and support by way of free ARV and the subsidization of biological exams. The strategy of decentralization of care in all of the 178 health districts allows the offering to populations that are enclaved an equitable access to quality treatment and care. This proposal aims to increase the number of eligible PLWHA placed on ARV, by way of interventions plan in goal 3, objective 3.1 and the SDA that apply. The proportion of women and men targeted for TAR is in correlation with the epidemiological profile of the country. In December 2009, 67% of the PLWHA on TAR were women or 51,032 women versus 25,196 men. The care structures situated in rural zones, which represent close to half of the offers in care in treatment, are equipped the same as the urban zones, in order to guarantee equity and geographical accessibility. The reinforcement of the “tutoring” strategy for the health facilities by the structures having a higher technical level (UPEC by the CTA; CSI/CMA by UPEC) will guarantee the quality of the care at all levels. As well, the collection tools for the monitoring of the active file produced will allow a disaggregation of the data as a function of sex and of age. Continuum of care The selection and training of Community Health Workers and community volunteers will take into account the equilibrium of the sexes including the pedagogic content of these trainings. Home visits will be carried out in binomially and will target both women and men, girls and boys, both in the urban setting as in the rural setting. They will also have information and animation tools relative to this for the interpersonal communication sessions and for social mobilization in the community. (goal 1, objective 1.1, SDA 1.1.1.; Goal 3, Objective 3.1, SDA 3.1.6). The OVC by the fact of their vulnerability present generally unequal access to education, particularly for the young girls. The interventions of this proposal for the OVC take into account the situation of the young girl and the content of the interventions is a function of the age bracket. 4.4.6 Partnerships with the private sector Describe how contributions related to: (i) co-investment from the private sector, and (ii) donated goods or services, will add value to the planned outcomes of the proposal. Make specific reference to the associated objectives, SDAs, or activities to which they are linked. The private sector is one of the actors for the development and implementation of this submission and it is involved in most of the areas of the provision of services. 27% o the care offering for the PLWHA is actually ensured by private sector health facilities. The involvement of new private structures in the implementation of this proposal will allow an increase of the extension of the offer of services in the perspective of the universal access to PMTCT services, care and treatment of HIV/Aids. The private sector will also benefit from the same facilities as the public (supply of reagents, ARV, technical support, support for advocacy). In return, these companies make available their personnel, their premises and their logistics for the capacity strengthening sessions, the realization of prevention activities for HIV/Aids. As well, they will support the operational costs of their structures and the salaries for their employees assigned within the context of the implementation of this proposal. Within the context of activities for the reduction of new infections (Goals 1 and 2), some companies (wood industry, Agro-industry, construction worksites, etc…) are retained as sites to deliver services to their employees who are clients of the SW, because their activities create favourable conditions for the development of sex work. The companies who employ truck drivers are also targeted to lead prevention actions in order to reduce risky behaviours within this category of workers. All of these companies will carry out educational discussions sessions, screening campaigns, orient/refer and promote access to services to their employees and to the SW in the immediate environment of their production sites. In effect, the companies (ALUCAM, CDC, AES Sonel, SOSUCAM, HEVECAM, CAMRAIL etc) who have health structures offer screening services for HIV, PMTCT, diagnosis and treatment of STI as well as the care of PLWHA. R10_CCM_CMR_H_PF_s3-5_4Oct10 45/101 ROUND 10 – HIV This proposal grants particular attention to the development of the public-private partnership in order to operationalize the co-investment. The MINHEALTH signed on March 31, 2010 a agreement with the Groupement Interpatronal de Cameroon (Appendix 23) of which one of the objectives is the mobilization of private companies for the financing of ARV and medications for OI, in return for the support of the MINHEALTH in the reinforcement of the capacities of the companies in the fight against HIV/Aids. The activities retained in SDA 4.1.3 are developed in a way to implement the GICAM MINHEALTH agreement and to ensure the monitoring and evaluation as well as the promotion of the private-public partnership.

This proposal aims to consolidate the R10_CCM_CMR_H_PF_s3-5_4Oct10 49/101 ROUND 10 – HIV acquisitions by way of the continuation of the availability of reagents for HIV screening, cotrimoxazole and the antiretrovirals in the CDT centres as well as the training of providers by the HIV program. In this Round, the contribution of civil society (PLWHA associations) and the community actors will allow improvement of the community care of tuberculosis in HIV+ patients as described in SDA 3.1.6. At the same time, this proposal, by contributing to the training and retraining of providers in the ARV treatment centres on the care of TB/HIV coinfection will help to integrate the TB activities in the services responsible exclusively for the care of PLWHA. A formal and operational framework of reference and counter reference exists with the HIV and TB programs. The working group on TB/HIV coinfection made up of different actors including civil society and the beneficiaries ensures the joint planning, monitoring evaluation and harmonization of the interventions for HIV/TB coinfection and contributes as well to the quality of care for patients. 4.4.8 Links to non-Global Fund resources Describe whether the Round 10 interventions (e.g. goals, objectives, SDAs, and activities) listed in section 4.4.1 have linkages to programs financed through non-Global Fund resources. If such linkages exist, list the non-Global Fund financed programs and their activities, and explain how the proposal complements those programs and activities. In addition, explain how the Round 10 interventions do not duplicate existing programs and activities supported by non-Global Fund resources. Areas of intervention Round 10 Other partners Goal 1 : Reduce the new HIV infections among newborns by the prevention of mother-child transmissions Goal 2: Reduce the new HIV infections among the SW, MSM, Truck Drivers and their partners Prevention Objective 1.1 : Increase from 35 to 80% the proportion of pregnant women who benefit from at least one CPN including HIV screening by 2015 ADB: The African Development Bank within the framework of the support project for the national reproductive health program implemented by UNESCO, which allowed for the training of 4170 teachers of primary, secondary and teaching schools which for their part reached 119,000 students on the teaching of EVF/EMP/HIV and aids (financing of 1 759 600 € between 2006-2009) KFW : The program for the Preventions of HIV/Aids in Central Africa (PPSAC) by way of the funding from the KFW going until the year 2014, mobilizes the targets by way of activates to change behaviours, including the screening, supply of condoms. The distribution of female condoms and male conducts was done by ACMS for the general population. Unfortunately, the distribution did not take into account the specificities of the at risk groups (SW, MSM, truck drivers) in the rest of the country. UNFPA : Within the framework of their 5th cooperation program, they are involved in 11 Health Districts of 03 Regions (North, Extreme north, East.). The contribution of the UNFPA concerns the prevention in the youth environment by way of the training of peer educators and volunteers of community-based services. They ensure the supply of female and male condoms (less than 5% of R10_CCM_CMR_H_PF_s3-5_4Oct10 50/101 ROUND 10 – HIV the national needs) which are distributed by SYNAME and ’ACMS until 2012. PMTCT Objective 1.2 : Increase from 19% to 70% the proportion of seropositive pregnant women and their infants who receive ARV to prevent MCT by 2015 The Government by way of PMTCT funds implements the activities of pillar 1 of the PMTCT. As well, with the C2D health financing, it also contributes to the PMTCT from January 2011 for the integrated training of personnel of 901 health facilities in SONEU including the PMTCT in 4 Regions. R10 doesn’t take into account Pillar 1 of the PMTCT. It will contribute up to 70% in 2015 of the PMTCT target of NSP UNICEF : The contribution of UNICEF in the component Children, HIV Aids (EVS) aims for the primary prevention (pillar 1 of the PMTCT) among children and adolescents as well as their parents. Within the framework of pillars 2,3 and 4 of the PMTCT and PECP, it contributes by way of UNITAID financing and on capital funds of a part of the screening activities for HIV among pregnant women, the ARV prophylaxis, early diagnosis and the care of paediatric HIV until 2012. UNFPA : contributes to the improvement of the offer and quality of services for PMTCT until 2012 by way of strengthening of the capacities of providers thanks to training in SONEU and the reinforcement of the technical level of some health facilities in 11 Health Districts of 03 Regions (North, Extreme North, East). It ensures that availability of contraceptives in all of the health facilities in the whole country contribution as such to pillars of PMTCT. CDC/PEPFAR will ensure the mapping of PMTCT sites Early diagnosis Objective 1.3 : Increase from 16 to per PCR 705 the proportion of exposed children tested for HIV (PCR) at 6 weeks by 2015 The Government and the other partners will contribute to the reaching of at least 10% of the PMTCT objective until 2015. US Government (CDC) : it contributes since 2008 to the offer of early diagnosis by PCR from the 6th week and the reinforcement of capacities of the reference laboratories in collaboration with the International Research Centre (CIRCB). It relies on the establishment of a quality assurance system for the screening of HIV. The Clinton Foundation will contribute until 2011 to the supply of reagents for the early diagnosis of HIV. UNICEF : It has provided since 2007, 2 PCR devices Government of Cameroon (PPTE) has acquired in 2009 two PCR devices Prevention of new infections among the MARPs Objective 2.1 : Ensure access to prevention services and reduction of discrimination to 14,240 MSM, 39 440 SW and 148 800 Truck drivers in the 10 regions by 2015 R10_CCM_CMR_H_PF_s3-5_4Oct10 Civil society : NGO Red-Cross, CAMNAFAW, Alternative- Cameroun. The sex workers and the sexual minorities (gays, lesbians, bisexuals and transgenders) are part of the framework of a pilot project « Meeting SRH Diversity Needs (MESDINE) » in the cities of Yaoundé and Douala. The NGO « Alternative » undertakes prevention actions and care of the MSM in the city of Douala. 51/101 ROUND 10 – HIV All of these projects mobilise the target groups through activities for changing behaviour, including the screening of STI and HIV but cover only 02 areas of Cameroon and a part of their needs. UNHCR: It plans to establish prevention interventions for HIV and STI among refugees (financing of 20 334€) but without specifically targeting the SW, MSM or truck drivers. USAID: It supports the prevention actions for high risk groups for the period of 2010 to January 2012 for an amount of 400,000 € per year in the regions of the East, North-west and the city of Douala. Goal 3 : Reduce the morbidity and mortality related to HIV as well as the socio-economic impact by way of strengthening of the overall care of adult and child PLWHA and support for OVC by 2015 The Government as a counter part to COS of Round 3, Overall care Objective 3.1 : Ensure overall contributes to the amount of 50% of the purchase of ARV. quality care to 80% of the adult Within the framework of this proposal, the Government will and child PLWHA eligible by 2015 continue to ensure its contribution for a threshold 50%.

The Government and UNICEF in the cooperation program Cameroon-UNICEF which ends in 2012 support 10000 OVC in the areas of schooling, legal, safety in particular in the convergence zone (Adamaoua). Catholic Relief Service (CRS) in collaboration with the diocesan coordination for health provides support in 4 Dioceses out of 24, for the reinforcement of care for the OVC (legal assistance, referral to basic service, psychosocial support, nutritional support, school support and the AGR). Involvement of Objective 1.1 : Increase from 35 to the communities 805 the proportion of pregnant and civil society women who benefit from at least one CPN including HIV screening by 2015 Objective 2.1 : Ensure access to preventions services and reduction of discrimination to 14 240 MSM, 39 440 SW and 148 800 Truck drivers in the 10 regions by 2015 Objective 3.2 : Reduce the impact of HIV/Aids among the OVC and the stigmatization and discrimination of HIV Objective 4.1 : Reinforce the coordination and monitoring evaluation system Development of Objective 4.2 : Reinforce the the public-private system of coordination and partnership monitoring evaluation GTZ: It is involved in the prevention of HIV among unwed mothers by way of the network of «aunties” at the level of the Health Districts and studies on the risk factors among young girls. UNDP: the mobilization of the local collectivities by way of the program « Alliance of Mayors » contributes to the reinforcement of the appropriation of the fight against HIV/Aids by community leaders. UNICEF through the program Child HIV/Aids supports the involvement of community support groups in favour of the use of health services and psycho-social-economic framework for seropositive women in 62 Health Districts. UNAIDS support the process of establishment of the platform of organizations of civil society including the PLWHA networks. UNFPA : Within the framework of the 5th cooperation program, it ensure the strengthening of capacities of the OBC and other community actors in 24 Health Districts until 2012. UNESCO-BAD : Within the framework of the support program for reproductive help which goes until April 2011, UNESCO supports the reinforcement of capacities in 17 community radios out of the 40 existing. Catholic Relief Service (CRS) contributes to the reinforcement of capacities of 500 community volunteers in the regions of the North, North-west and South-west and 108 OBC in the Regions of the East and North-west for the carrying out of home visits. The Groupement Inter patronal (GICAM) with the support of BIT will ensure the implementation of the agreement signed with the MINHEALTH in March 2010 to accompany the Government in the mobilization of domestic funding. Goal 4: Reinforce the coordination, monitoring evaluation within the framework of the implementation of the proposal MonitoringObjective 4.1 : Reinforce the UNAIDS. Supports the reinforcement of the national system of coordination and evaluation system of monitoring evaluation for the response to HIV monitoring evaluation and Aids, particularly the development and actualization of guides and tools for the collection of data. R10_CCM_CMR_H_PF_s3-5_4Oct10 53/101 ROUND 10 – HIV 4.4.9 Strategy to mitigate unintended consequences of additional program support on health systems Describe: (a) the potential risks and unintended consequences on health systems that may result from the implementation of the proposal; and (b) the proposed strategy for mitigating these potentially disruptive consequences. STIGMATIZATION AND DISCRIMINATION The interventions which target in particular certain populations can lead to a risk of stigmatization by making this population visible. In order to attenuate this risk, the proposal implements concrete measures following the example of a better involvement of the CHW coming from setting or the targeted populations to prevent this risk by actions of intra-community mediation and discussions with health professionals. To avoid stigmatization within the context of PMTCT which could be engendered by the distribution of Mother Baby Pack among pregnant women, the proposal implements a transverse and integrated approach. This would solicit the participation of community actors, SMI services in order to attain a better acceptance of the PMTCT interventions. According to the needs the PLWHA Associations will offer visits/meetings with beneficiaries in locations outside of the residence so that their contacts occur in complete discretion. The community actors (ARC, volunteers, counsellor, health agents) will receive training on confidentiality. The attention placed on pregnant women within the context of the PMTCT program could increase their visibility by the knowledge of the HIV serological status and lead to a stigmatization within their family. The outreach communication towards pregnant women, their partners and all of the community could limit this discrimination/stigmatization. CARE AND TREATMENT This proposal places the accent on the continuation of the free ARV and medications for OI. This could lead to an incomprehension on the part of the patients who suffer from other chronic and serious illnesses. In order to attenuate these effects, the NSP 2011-2015 plans to establish mechanisms of community solidarity and health mutuals, a reinforcement of the health system which will benefit all diseases. HUMAN RESOURCES The ARC involved in the research for those lost from sight, the counselling, the screening will benefit from an indemnity within the framework of this proposal. This situation could be at the origin of a miscomprehension between the health personnel and these community actors from the fact they have the same health training. The solution is to accelerate the revision of the career profile for the personnel in the State health facilities as envisaged in the development plan for human resources for the MINHEALTH. Within the context of the intensification of the overall care of persons infected by HIV, the proposal plans for the extension of training/retraining to personnel of all of the health structures of the country and to provide the logistics support applying to this passage of scale. Frustrations and demotivation could arise among personnel of services who don’ benefit from the same advantages. As well, these last could be tempted to desert the said services. The extension of training to other medical services and medical specialists and the interaction between the different entry point related to HIV could attenuate this risk. Burn out: The growth in the number of PLWHA cared for will lead inevitably to an increase in the workload or “burn out” among the concerned providers, this could lead to a large mobility of personnel towards positions or services that are less demanding. The valorisation of their work and their support through their training, in-service training, scholarships and the participation in international conferences are some of the measures envisaged in this round to attenuate this risk. R10_CCM_CMR_H_PF_s3-5_4Oct10 54/101 ROUND 10 – HIV 4.5 Program Sustainability 4.5.1 Strengthening capacity and processes in HIV service delivery to achieve improved health and social outcomes Describe how the proposal contributes to overall strengthening and/or further development of public, private and community institutions and systems to ensure improved HIV service delivery and outcomes. The proposal contributes to the improvement of the public sector, civil society and the private sector by promoting the reinforcement of capacities, the reinforcement of the usual partnerships with the OSC (NGO and Associations) and the establishment of a Public-Private Partnership. By ensuring 50 to 60% of the financing for antiretroviral treatments and supplies of medications for opportunistic infections, the Government shows a continued commitment and support for the sustainability of activities in the fight against HIV. By supporting the actions of decentralization of the care of PLWHA, the proposal aims to make progressively operational the UPEC in the health districts in order to encourage the bringing together of services for recipients including the vulnerable groups or the most exposed groups. The reinforcement of SYNAME capacities, CENAME, the CAPR and the health districts on the management of medications and related products and quality control allows the proper estimation of needs, to make available for the ill products of quality and to avoid ruptures. The involvement and reinforcement of capacities of actors of the community system will allow, in the short term (i) increase in the frequentation of sexual and reproductive health services and CPN by pregnant women and their partners, (ii) increase the percentage of people knowing their serological status, (iii) improvement in the observance of treatment among patients; (iv) reduction in the rate of those lost from sight; and in the long term (i) reduction in the number of new infections; (ii) reduction in maternal mortality and infantile; and (iii) improvement in the survival of patients under treatment and life conditions for the OVC. The strengthening of capacities of the community organizations through training, institutional and organizations support will allow optimization of their capacities of intervention and mobilisation of resources, reduction of the stigmatization and the discrimination towards SW, MSM and the PLWHA, contribution as such to the creation of a favourable environment for the fight. Involvement of the private health sector in the provision of protection and care allowing the efforts of the government to be completed in matters of the mobilization of resources, ranting as such the continuity and sustainability of the offer of services and actions in all sector of development. The proposal plans several activities for the strengthening of meeting and coordination of the interventions including the sharing of information and best practices at the national, regional and operational level. This will permit the guarantee of complementarity and the sustainability of the interventions of the actors, in addition to the development of human resources and the improvement of management. The strengthening of institutional and operational capacities of the NA through the recruitment of new personnel, the supply of equipment and technologies adapted and made available with technical assistance with allow this structure to play its role fully of coordination and monitoring evaluation of the interventions. 4.5.2 Alignment with broader developmental frameworks Describe how the proposal’s strategy aligns with broader developmental frameworks such as: Poverty Reduction Strategies; The Highly-Indebted Poor Country (HIPC) initiative; The Millennium Development Goals; An existing national health sector development plan; and Any other important initiatives. R10_CCM_CMR_H_PF_s3-5_4Oct10 55/101 ROUND 10 – HIV The present proposal is construed within the implementation of the National Strategic Plan (NSP), 20112015 on the fight against HIV/AIDS, which is the national policy and strategic guidance document pertaining to the fight against STDs, HIV and AIDS. This document is aligned on national and international basis as shown in the table below. The goal of this proposal is to achieve a generation without HIV/AIDS through the improvement of maternal and child health and through ensuring an better quality of life for PLWHA. Documents/National initiatives Document « Cameroun Vision 2035 » Description of links with the proposal The «Vision 2035 » aims among others to increase the life expectancy for the populations by reducing the maternal and infant mortality of which one of the causes is HIV/AIDS. The proposal is part of this objective though the PMTCT interventions and the care for persons infected and affected. Strategy Document for Growth and Employment (DSCE) It considers HIV infection as a national priority with respect to its tragic impact on human development. The interventions defined in the proposal will contribute to the reduction of this impact. The Initiative of Very Indebted Poor Countries (PPTE) Since 2002 Cameroon benefits from the resources of this initiative for the fight against AIDS. The governmental counterpart for the implementation of this proposal, notably the purchase of ARV, MEO and screening tests will be ensured by the resources coming from this initiative. Sectoral Strategy Documents (Health, rural development, social development…) These documents consider HIV infection as a factor which affects health aggravates poverty in so far as it touches a young fringe of the population, considered as most productive. By targeting the reduction of new infections, this proposal contributes to the alleviation of the burden of the epidemic in this sector of the population. This proposal is part of the operational framework of the SNP 2011-2015. It rests on the strategies of this plan by search for complementary funding for the identified priorities. Strategic National Plan (SNP) , 2011-2015, for the fight against AIDS which is aligned with the Sectoral Health Strategy (SHS) 2001-2015. Strategic national plan for the integral development of the young child (PNDIJE) The taking into account of the fundamental needs of the OVC as a function of sex and the age bracket as defined in this proposal integrates perfectly with the orientations of the PNDIJE. Orientations on «the multisectoral and decentralized approach » of health for all. Documents/International initiatives Objectives of the United Nations Millennium Development Goals (MDG) This proposal is based on the orientations of the mutisectoral and decentralized approach of interventions, whose objective is the health for all and the taking into account of the gender dimension in the fight against HIV. Description des liens avec la proposition Cameroon has subscribed to the Objectives of the United Nations Millennium Development Goals (MDG) in particular for objectives 4,5 and 6, relative to the inversion of tendencies of the priority diseases by 2015. These MDG constitute the priority orientations from which the operational strategies relative to the fight against AIDS/HIV are derived..

At the end of 2009, Cameroon adhered to this initiative within the framework of International Health Partnership the development of the new plan perennial plan for development of health and (iHP+) the integration of HIV/Aids in the minimum package of activities in the health sector. Its implementation is in progress.

The principle of the « Three Ones" The proposal also aims to reinforce the national mechanisms of coordination and monitoring evaluation of interventions, as well as the development of partnership to attain results. R10_CCM_CMR_H_PF_s3-5_4Oct10 57/101 ROUND 10 – HIV 4.5.3 Improving value for money Explain how the program that the proposal contributes to represents good value for money. Specifically, given the context of the epidemic in the country and the definition of value for money provided in the Guidelines, describe how the key interventions in the proposal represent the best balance of costs and effectiveness, with consideration to the desired achievement of both short and long term impacts. The interventions retained in this proposal are those for which scientific evidence exists and which are recommended at the international level for their effectiveness in the reduction of new infections or improvement of the quality of life of infected persons. In the context of a generalized epidemic and that of countries with limited resources, the targeting of population at high risk (SW and MS) and PMTCT are actions which have proven their effectiveness. The combined strategies available of condoms, treatment of STIs, the outreach awareness with peer educators and health mediators, the fight against stigma and discrimination, towards the SW, MSM, Truck drivers and their partners will have an impact on the expansion of the epidemic in the general population. With a view to reduce new paediatric infections, the proposal is oriented towards the virtual elimination of the mother child transmission of HIV. The strategies adopted aim as such to contribute the attaining of WHO 4, 5, 6 by 2015. It is in this context that for the PMTCT, the choice of option A relies on the analysis of costs/benefits carried out with the contribution of the WHO and the Clinton Foundation. The result of this is that the effectiveness of Options A and B were comparable when we take into account the number of infections avoided. However, the cost of Option B being clearly greater than of Option A, the country has made its choice of option A. As well, its establishment presents the best cost/effectiveness rapport. A study carried out by Goldie S. et al Cost/effectiveness of HIV treatment in poor settings – the case of the Côte d’Ivoire, New England Journal of Medicine, 2006, 355, 1141-53. Retrieved on August 11, 2010 from http//www.pistes.fr/transcriptase/131_570.htm reveals that the strategies associating TAR and prophylaxis for opportunist infections had a better cost/effectiveness rapport than those not using ARV. In addition, the use of a antiretroviral treatment is based on clinical and1or immunological criteria (CD4 counting) leading to an additional gain of 10.7 on the life expectancy for a surcharge of 590 dollars/year of life gained is a public health investment which is economically attractive in the context of weak resources. This scientific demonstration comforts us in the choice of Goal 3 of this proposal which puts the emphasis on the offering of services for CD$ to determine the appropriate time to initiate treatment, the supply of ARV treatments and medications for opportunistic infections. Cameroon has revised the national directives in accordance with the WHO (2009) recommendations. The choice of therapeutic protocols, the MBP device, the taking into account of the TB/HIV dimension constitute as well the strategies which must allow in the long term the reduction of the costs and expenses related to HIV. Studies on the cost/benefit rapport of interventions related to the health system are not sufficiently documented in Cameroon. However, the use of data on the methods of transmission of HIV (Know Your Epidemic) coupled with the in-depth use of NASA (Know the Financial Side of Your Epidemic) data could allow estimation of the cost/effectiveness rapport in the management of the program. This proposal, has the ambition of leading a study to better determine the cost benefit ratio for the patients. R10_CCM_CMR_H_PF_s3-5_4Oct10 58/101 SERIE 10 – VIH Monitoring and Evaluation System 4.6 4.6.1 Impact and outcome measurement systems Describe the impact and outcome measurement systems, including strengths and weaknesses, used to measure achievements of the national disease program at impact and outcome level. The system of M&E of the program for the fight against HIV and aids in Cameroon is multisectoral and it is based on the 12 standard components of UNAIDS. It is coordinated by the planning, monitoring and evaluation section of GTC/NAC. In Cameroon the national system for monitoring evaluations has a function section for monitoring evaluation positioned at the level of the structure of coordination at the central level GTC/NAC, and at the level of each region of a Unit of M&E at the GTR/NAC. This national system has available a mutisectoral national plan, actually in process of revision because of the fact that the planning exercise NSP 2011-2015 has just finished. There exists as well tools for collection as well as a circuit for reviewing the data which takes into account the different stakeholders of the programs (public, private, faith-based and community). The Monitoring evaluation section participates in the integrated supervision with partners of the different sectors, as well as in the studies whose results are contained in the quarterly and annual reports are used within the context of strategic information for decision-making. However, despite the existence of this monitoring-evaluation sections, some difficulties, notably structural and organizational hinder the proper functioning of this provision. There is a qualitative and quantitative insufficiency of human resources, due to the lack of perfection and motivation. Beyond this situation, the insufficiency of the financial means is also an obstacle to seat the mechanisms of coordination and reinforcement of leadership in the area of monitoring-evaluation. Under these conditions, the monitoring evaluation section suffers from the absence of coordination with the other sectors, health information systems, information systems for the community sector which do not allow this section to fully play its role. This translates into an insufficiency in the control of the quality of data, the weak completeness and the difficulties of managing, storing the data. It also leads to under production and under use of strategic information, the absence of an efficient strategy of retro-information, dissemination and promotion of the use of the available data.

The methods of monitoring-evaluation (ME) for this proposal rely on the orientation of the ME system for the multisectoral response in the fight against Aids such as defined in the new NSP 2011-2015 and the monitoring evaluation 2011-2015. In this proposal, the national performance indicators and effect used come from the national strategic plan and are harmonized with the indicators for universal access and UNGAAS. The data will be collected by using the existing tools of which certain of them will be revised in order to manage the reliable information in the context of the national program. To this effect, the community actors and the health personnel in charge of monitoring evaluation will benefit from a strengthening of their capacities. The effectiveness of this system rests on its integration in the national system for which the functioning is described below. The activities implemented by the recipients (PR, SR and providers will be the subject of quarterly reports based on the data collected. The existing collection tools will be adapted to facilitate the collection of data on the interventions led by the OSC in the groups of SW, MSM and Truck drivers, and by the health system in accordance with the national indicators. To allow this provision to function and manage the expected information, this proposal must in place several trainings at different levels (training of data managers in the CTA and UPEC, training of actors of the community system and health system. The data produced by the ground actors will e recorded on standardized collection sheets. At the regional level, the evaluation monitoring and planning unit compiles the data sent by the actors of the different sectors including civil society. For its turn, the Regional Technical Group (RTG) sends the aggregated data to the central level to the Planning Monitoring-Evaluation Section of the Central Technical Group (CTG) who compile the data for all of the Regions. Quarterly reports, biannual and annual reports are produced by the CTG/NAC to take into account the realizations, from the level of the implementation of activities , the use of allocated resources, the gaps identified and the measured planned to correct them. Within the same framework, the data coming from the health facilities of the Ministry of Health (PMTCT and the care of PLWHA), are transmitted from the operational level via the Health services of the Health District to the Regional Delegation for public Health (DRSP). These data, compiled by the DRSP, are sent to the CTG and to the Director for Fight Against the Disease. After analysis, these data are sent to CTG by the RTG. The system of monitoring evaluation for this proposal is clearly part of the national system of ME. Thus, the two PR coordinate the receipt of the data with the respective SR and the NAC. The consolidation of the data coming from the SR will be done by the PR. At the regional and operational level, the implementation structures transmit simultaneously to PR and to RTG who after compilation and analysis sends it to CTG\NAC for use and strategic decision-making. There will be no overlap of reports coming from the PR and the SR, because most of the MINHEALTH partners have adopted the same plan and the same report model. In addition, the data on the indicators envisaged by the proposal can be easily received by means of existing systems and approaches by all of those responsible for the implementation with the strengthening of their capacities. R10_CCM_CMR_H_PF_s3-5_4Oct10 63/101 SERIE 10 – VIH (b) Are all of the M&E arrangements planned for the proposal using the national M&E system? Yes No (c) If no, explain why not and list any service delivery areas (SDAs) and/or activities that will not be monitored through the national M&E system. NA 4.6.4 Strengthening monitoring and evaluation systems (a) Has a multi-stakeholder national M&E assessment been recently conducted (in last 2 years)? Yes No (b) If yes, has a costed M&E action plan been developed or updated to include identified M&E strengthening measures? Yes No (c) Describe whether the proposal is requesting funding for any M&E strengthening measures. These strengthening measures may have been identified through a national M&E assessment or any other relevant evaluation or review process. The review of NSP 2006-2010 and the development of the new strategic plan revealed a certain number of gaps and measures that this proposal takes into account. 1. Institutional strengthening In order to allow the Planning Monitoring Evaluation (PME) section of GTC/NAC to fully play their role, it revolving material will be made available for the carrying out of the activities of coordination, specific monitoring and supervision missions and joint (SDA 4.1.3). The section of PSE and the units of SE regional will be provided with R10_CCM_CMR_H_PF_s3-5_4Oct10 64/101 SERIE 10 – VIH computer equipment. 2. The strengthening of the capacities of agents responsible for monitoring evaluation The availability of competent human resources in the area is incontestable for the implementation of a system of monitoring evaluation which is reliable and functional. This proposal will contribute the strengthening of capacities of the personnel (qualitative and quantitative) in SE of the PR and SR involved in the monitoring and evaluation. As much as engineers statisticians are recruited in all of the SE units of the GTR within the context of monitoring and evaluation at the regional level, these last all of the actors of SE for all of the sectors concerned by the proposal need a strengthening of their capacities in the matter of data management. The proposal will contribute to the strengthening of capacities of 240 registry filling agents in the care structures, the informaticien responsible for developing a database and the assistant for monitoring evaluation. 3. Coordination The objectives of the M&E plan aim for the redynamisation of instances of coordination at the different level, and this by way of the organization of the quarterly meeting of the Technical Group on SE and the biannual meetings of the CPLS. 4. Studies and research The information coming from these studies gives arguments in the context of the orientation of policies in matters of the fight against the epidemic and clarifies decision making. In the context of the implementation of the system of SE, some studies are to be made priorities. This will mean carrying out: Periodic surveys on the prevalence of HIV among pregnant women and two specific surveys among the SW and MSM. Valorisation of all of the studies will be carried out in partnership with the CIRCB, IRD and ANRS on PMTCT, paediatric care, resistances, etc. Periodic studies of the prevalence of HIV among pregnant women and two specific surveys of the groups the most exposed to risk Two surveillance surveys for resistance of HIV to ARV will also be carried out Annual estimation surveys for the flow of resources and expenses incurred in the fight against Aids Evaluation study of the survival of patients on ARV at 12, 24 and 36 months Evaluative studies of the indexes of stigmatization and discrimination related to HIV Evaluation at the halfway point and a final evaluation of the implementation of the R10 proposal An evaluation halfway and a final evaluation of NSP 2011-2015 at the end of 2015.

The prior evaluation of projects allows CARE Cameroon to identify the obstacles and possible risks to attain results. There is notably a weak level of appropriation of the obligation to be accountable by the organizations of civil society and inadequate human resources available in terms of quantity and the tasks to be accomplished. CARE has reinforced over the course of the Round 4 project the community seating of its work as well as the links with the national institutions and organizations: Ministry of Public Health, Social Affairs, Work, Transport and the Promotion of Women and the Family, Planning and the Organization of the Territory, Agriculture and Rural Development, VSO, PNUD, CRS, PAM, HCR.

CBCHB has established a Regional Training Centre which has training providers of PMTCT services coming from 15 countries of the sub-region, and provides technical support to five of these countries in the implementation of PMTCT services. With the support of the AWARE project, CBCHB has established the project Men-As-Partners (MAP) in 5 PMTCT sites. The originality of this project is that it implements an approach which encourages the male sexual partners of PMTCT service clients to participate in the PNC visits, to solicit the screening for HIV. As well, it contributes to the reduction and prevention of domestic violence. CBCHB collaborated in the PEARL research project (PMTCT Effectiveness in Africa: Research and Linkages to Care) financed by the CDC Atlanta and EGPAF. In 2008, with financing from EGPAF, CBCHB implemented the CORE research project (Continuum of Care Operations Research) which aimed to compared the two approaches of passages to the scale of ARV prophylactics more effective for women and their children.

Continuous and sustained technical assistance is essential in Cameroon to strengthen the technical capacities of the recipients, sub-recipients and beneficiaries in order to ensure the implementation of interventions, guarantee performance and ensure the quality of interventions developed in the proposal. The needs in technical assistance within the framework of this Round 10 proposal arise on the one hand, from the evaluation of the implementation of the strategic plan 2006-2010 and on the other hand the participatory exchanges carried out by the revision team for the proposal and the other actors. The evaluation of NSP identified different weaknesses that affect the national response, notably: (i) the health system, (ii) the collection, analysis and the dissemination of strategic information on the situation of the epidemic and the national response, the coordination of the interventions, (iii) the monitoring of patients on ARV treatment, (iv) the implementation of the HIV/TB collaboration activities, (iv) the insufficiency of the performance of the PMTCT services and reproductive health, (v) the qualitative insufficiency of the care of sexually transmitted infection, (vi) the implementation of the interventions towards the MARPs, (vii) interventions aiming to make the environment favourable to improve the demand for care services and the overall care. The specific needs among those identified in the NSP, and judged to be pertinent and coherent with respect to this proposal have been validated and retained with the different actors involved in the drafting of the proposal, and are coherent with the planned activities, available human resources and the period for implementation. These weakness are taken into account in the new strategic national plan 2011-2015 and can be minimized by the strengthening of national capacities through national and/or international technical assistance in the implementation of the grants for this Round 10 from the Global Fund. The related budget is based on the locally applied costs (national consultant, national technical assistant) at the international level (average cost applied by the United National System). This technical assistance will contribute to the strengthening of existing national capacities in the delivery of the planned serves in accordance with the requirements of the Global Fund and the needs of the beneficiaries.

CENAME then ensures the distribution in the CARP. The CARP are responsible for the distribution in the health facilities. Within the framework of this proposal, the process of procurement, storage and distribution will be done using the existing SYNAME. Clarified 4.8.5 (a) 4.8.5 Storage and distribution systems National medical stores or equivalent specify (a) Which organization(s) have primary responsibility to provide storage and distribution services under the proposal? Sub-contracted national organization(s) specify Sub-contracted international organization(s) specify Other: specify (b) For storage partners, what is each organization's current storage capacity for pharmaceutical and health products? If the proposal represents a significant change in the volume of products to be stored, estimate the relative change in percent, and explain what plans are in place to ensure increased capacity. CENAME and the CARP currently have a very good storage capacity. CENAME has a storage capacity available at the central level of approximately 6 800 m2 in Yaoundé with an annex at the level of Ngaoundéré of approximately 1 100 m2. The CAPR have a storage capacity which varies from around 600 et 1000 m2. This capacity allow the management without difficulty of the ARV acquired within the framework of Round 3 of the Global Fund (c) For distribution partners, what is each organization's current distribution capacity for pharmaceutical and health products? If the proposal represents a significant change in the volume of products to be distributed or the area(s) where distribution will occur, estimate the relative change in percent, and explain what plans are in place to ensure increased capacity. CENAME has 02 Trucks, 01 van and 02 pickups which ensure the distribution of pharmaceutical products in the 7 southern regions of the country. For the northern regions, the transport is ensured by CAMRAIL with is the national railway company up to the depot at Ngaoundéré. At the level of this depot, the destruction of the products in the R10_CCM_CMR_H_PF_s3-5_4Oct10 82/101 SERIE 10 – VIH CARP is done by rented trucks and 01 pickup. Each CART has 3 to 5 (PICK-UP) cares available to ensure the distribution in the health facilities. This proposal will not increase significantly the volume of products to be distributed. Clarified 4.8.6 4.8.6 Pharmaceutical and health products for initial two years Complete the Pharmaceutical and Health Products List and list all of the products that are requested to be funded through the proposal.

(a) The new Strategic National Plan for the fight against STD/HIV/AIDS which covers the period 2011-2015 has been developed based on the existing programmatic data and the EPP-spectrum projections. The objectives were set under the optic of universal access, in coherence with the objectives of the document on the Strategy for Growth and Employment (DSCE 2010-2010)(Appendix 24) and the sectoral health strategy 2001-2015. This strategic plan takes into account the interventions to be carried out by all sectors (governmental, non-governmental and community). (b) The financial needs for its implementation have been developed based on figures calculated for the strategic axes of NSP 2011-2015 by using the “Resource Needs Model (RNM)” model with the standard unit costs applicable to Cameroon. This budget also takes into account the needs of all of the sectors as described. (c) The actual or planned amounts for all sources of financing have been identified and collected by axis or area of intervention as described in PSN 2011-2015. The financing requested in the framework of this proposal covers in part the programmatic gaps identified and will contribute to the realization of the results and effect not financed by other sources. The financing for Round 10 (2011-2015) represents close to one quarter of the needs in total financing for the fight for the same period. The financing requested within the framework of this proposal represents 24.16% of the total needs and will allow the gap to be reduced. This last is complementary to all of the existing financing. 5.1.2 Domestic funding Describe the processes used in country to: (a) prioritize domestic financial contributions to the national HIV program including HIPC [Heavily Indebted Poor Country] and other debt relief, and grant or loan funds that are contributed through the national budget; and (b) ensure that domestic resources are used efficiently, transparently and equitably, to help implement treatment, prevention, care and support strategies at the national, sub-national and community levels. (a) The national financial contribution for the fight against HIV/AIDS comes directly from the State budget, the funds coming from the repaying of the debt (PPTE Resources). Concerning the PPTE resources, a project document has been elaborated taking into account the national needs (Appendix 25). The project has been submitted to the Consultative and PPTE resource monitoring committee presided over by the Ministry of Finance. The said committee examines the project and after approval, a sectoral panel defines the areas to be financed. The criteria for choosing are mainly the complementarity with existing financing and the priority for actions which directly affect the ill. Within the framework of the PPTE 2008-2012 project, the priority has been given to the supply of medications, the acquisition of medical screening tests (Appendix 25). The direct State budget is mobilized in the context of the counter part of external financing (Global R10_CCM_CMR_H_PF_s3-5_4Oct10 89/101 ROUND 10 – HIV Fund, World Bank), the salaries of the personnel in charge of the implementation of the activities, the operations, the rehabilitation, equipment for the monitor and care structures for the ill. (b) In Cameroon there exists the Caisse Autonome d’Amortissement (CAA), which is under the tutelage of the Ministry of Finance and which receives financing from the partners and the countering funds from the State. These different funds are subject to the same control and management procedures. 5.1.3 External funding Describe: (a) any changes in contributions anticipated over the proposal term and the reason for any identified reductions in external resources over time; and (b) any current delays in accessing the external funding identified in Table 5.1 that should be explained, including the reason for the delay, and plans to resolve the issue(s). Information on the partner contributions for the period 2011-2015 have been supplied following meetings with these last. No modification in the external financial contribution has been notified to date. The management mechanisms and the availability of the funds varies according to the partners. There is still no common mechanism for financing and for management of external resources. To this effect, the principles of the “Three ones” will be reinforced at all levels. 5.2 Detailed Budget Instructions for completion of the detailed budget: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Submit a detailed budget in Microsoft Excel format. Ensure that this detailed budget is consistent in numbering with the Round 10 interventions in section 4.4.1 of the Proposal Form, the Performance Framework, and the detailed work plan.

The end of CoS funding, the elevated risks of the rupture of associated stock and the number of people on ARV treatment estimated at 226,338 at the end of 2015 shows the importance of the category Pharmaceutical Products (medications) which represents 46.96% of the overall budget for the proposal, or € 45,751,693. Pharmaceutical Products (medications): The size of the active file in Cameroon and its exponential progression (197% in the period 2009-2015) combined with the stopping of other sources of funding, particularly that of UNITAI used for the purchase of 2nd line protocols for st which the cost is approximately 4 times that of the 1 line protocols. Due to this fact, the estimated cost to supply the protocols goes from € 3,43 million in 2011 to €13.9 million in 2015. 5.4.2 Human resources (a) Describe how the proposed financing of salaries, compensation, volunteer stipends, or top-ups will be consistent with agreed in-country salary frameworks, such as national salary or inter-agency frameworks. The cost of human resources in this proposal represents 10.5% of the overall budget. It is made up of: indemnification for the community relay agents and social workers whose role is primordial in the mobilization of women with the aim to have them adhere to the PMTCT program and in the monitoring of the PLWHA within the context of the continuum of care which are key actions for the attaining of the objectives of this proposal. In the public sector, the indemnities for operating personnel (Appendix 26) and the salaries for contractual workers (Accounts, Chauffeurs, Secretaries) In civil society, the salaries of some agents involved in the implementation of the project, remunerations for community volunteers. These budgetary allocations are calculated based on national standards and the contracts entered into during the course of the previous rounds (3, 4, 5) and ratified by ministerial decisions (Appendix 26). The support in remuneration of the OBC of civil society will allow ensure they can well fill their role described in the various SDA described above. Most of these organizations do not have sufficient financing and must rely in part on external resources to attain the programmatic results. (b) In cases where human resources represents an important share of the budget, summarize: (i) the basis for the budget calculation over the initial two years; (ii) the method of calculating the anticipated costs over years three to five; and (iii) to what extent human resources spending will strengthen service delivery. NA (c) As well, in cases where the human resources will represent a significant portion of the budget, summarize : (i) the basis for calculation of the budget for the first period of two years ; (ii) the method of calculating anticipates costs for the years 3 to 5 ; and (iii) explain how the expenses in human resources will reinforce the supply of services The human resources, estimated at 10.5%, do not represent a significant portion of the total budget of the request. R10_CCM_CMR_H_PF_s3-5_4Oct10 94/101 ROUND 10 – HIV 5.4.3 Other areas representing significant expenses. If other “cost categories” represent significant amounts in the summary in table 5.4, (i) explain what is the basis of calculation for these amounts. Also explain the importance of this contribution for the implementation of the national program in the fight against HIV. All of the other cost categories take up less than 10.5% of the total budget for the proposal, except the heading Health products and health equipment which represents 12.06% of the budget for the proposal. Based on unit costs practised at the international level by standard suppliers (Appendix B). 5.4.4 Measuring service unit cost and cost effectiveness Provide the following: (a) where available, estimates of recent average service delivery unit costs at the program-level for key services with an explanation of how the estimates were developed; (b) estimates of the expected average service delivery unit costs for key services that are included in the proposal; and (c) a description of how key service delivery unit costs will be measured at the programlevel, over time throughout the lifecycle of the grant. At the national level, the unit costs for the provision of services are part of the logic of the continuity of costs applied in the implementation of the previous rounds (HIV, Malaria and Tuberculosis). However, at all levels of the supply of essential services described in this proposal (PMTCT, ARV) we have unitary costs for the main activities entering into the supply of the said services. Within the context of the supply of ARV treatments, the unitary costs for the essential activities have been applied: Training of a provider, calculated on the basis of the local cost of the workshop applied to the number of participant (example: approximately 50 Euros for a man/day of training) Reagents for screening and biological monitoring, supply of OI medications, ARV, condoms, equipment (cost on the international market) Supervision at all levels (regional, district), calculated based on the local costs and the duration (example: 65 Euros per day of supervision at the central level) 5.5 Funding Requests in the Context of a Common Funding Mechanism Clarified 5.5.1 5.5.1 Common funding mechanism If the country’s response to HIV is through a program-based approach, does the proposal plan for some or all of the requested funding to be paid into a common-funding mechanism to support that approach?
