1.0 The HIV and AIDS Situation in Tanzania
The national HIV prevalence rate among adults aged 15-49 in
In
As it is stipulated under the National HIV/AIDS Policy, the government aims to promote early diagnosis of HIV infection through Voluntary Counseling and Testing with professionally conducted pre and post-test counseling. The main aim is to measure and encourage approximately 85 – 90% of population who are HIV-negative to take definitive steps not to be infected, and those who are HIV-positive to receive the necessary support in counseling and cope with their status, promoting their levels and not to infect others. Consequently this will lead to reduced rate of new infections, reduced death rates and reduced percentage of children who are orphaned due to AIDS.
According to the NACP Report No. 19 of 2004 Kilimanjaro region was the 3rd leading region with the highest number of AIDS cases after Mbeya and
When the president of the United Republic of Tanzania, Hon. J.M Kikwete declared a National VCT campaign on14th July 2007 the target population allocated for the region was 12,592. The campaign was launched by the Kilimanjaro Regional Commissioner Hon. Mohammed Babu on 8th September 2007. On the 1st of December, the World AIDS Day, the president instructed for an extension of the campaign until the end of May 2008. Up to 31st January, a total number of 187,172 (78,868 male and 108,304 female) had responded to the campaign. This was an equivalent of 115.12% compared to the regional allocation. The prevalence rate obtained during the 2007 National Campaign for Kilimanjaro were higher for Moshi Urban than for the rural based districts as follows: Moshi Municipal; 3.2%, Moshi Rural;1.96%, Same; 2.51%, Mwanga, 4.09%, Rombo:1.89%, Hai; 1.78%, Siha;2.30%.
2.0: Background to KIWAKKUKI.
For the past 16 years, KIWAKKUKI has been contributing towards addressing the challenges facing the Health Sector in Tanzania such as inadequate human resources to deliver quality health services compounded by poverty in the community which limit’s patients capacity to purchase drugs and also addressing the economic and psychosocial needs of OVC’s and their care givers. By so doing, the organization has participated in the National HIV and AIDS Prevention, Care and Support Programme as well as the Poverty Reduction Strategy.
Apparently, KIWAKKUKI’s approach has been an integration of HIV and AIDS activities into the national long, medium and short term plans namely Vision 2025, National Strategy for Growth and Reduction of Poverty (NSGPR) or MKUKUTA and the Tanzania’s Development Vision 2025. Others include the AIDS Policy and the Millennium Development Goals 1, 2, 3 and 6.
The main programme is HIV and AIDS Prevention, Care, Support and impact mitigation with the components of HIV/AIDS Awareness Raising, Voluntary Counseling and Testing, Home Based Care and Treatment Follow up.
In 2007 KIWAKKUKI planned to address the extreme shortage of VCT counsellors in Kilimanjaro region as well as HBC quality care providers. A proposal was approved to train 20 VCT counsellors and 20 HBC providers at the National Standard level in 2008. In another development, KIWAKKUKI‘s approach to impact mitigation and poverty reduction was stipulated in her strategic thinking process with community economic development processes. This included engaging in alleviating scarcity of safe and clean water, scarcity of irrigation water and capacity building of moderately constructed houses. These and other areas have been seriously impacted by declining community safety nets, and growing income poverty.
3.0 Executive Summary
This report covers the programme implementation period of January to December 2007. This was the first year of implementing the second Strategic Plan of KIWAKKUKI for the period 2007-2011. Since the presentation of 18 Abstracts at the 3rd Multisectoral AIDS Conference in Arusha in December 2006, KIWAKKUKI’s activities have been increasingly recognized and supported. KIWAKKUKI’s grassroots groups went on being pivotal to our work with their courageous leadership and innovation paving the way towards achievement of the National Policies and Strategies.
The activities that were completed in 2007 include a continuation of awareness raising in the community especially in high risk areas using the School Without Walls approach whereby 44,007 community members were reached wherever they were and were sensitized on safe sex, making informed choices and doing away with harmful practices that perpetuate the spread of HIV. Four School Health Clubs with 200 pupils were established to inculcate early responsibility taking among the children for HIV and AIDS prevention and care. Also studies were conducted to assess the children’s Knowledge, Attitudes and Practices so as to inform the methodologies. Another study was conducted to determine the extent to which cultural practices impact the campaign against HIV and AIDS.
Moreover, 2,238 clients accessed VCT at the centre and 427 in the outreach sub programme in the spirit of responding to the National VCT campaign.
In the work with orphans 2,045 were sponsored with education from
As for Greater Involvement of PLHIV, some of them were actively involved in the day to day activities at the centre as volunteers. 8 of their representatives were involved in decision making by sitting in the decision making body for KIWAKKUKI at regional and district levels. Moreover 5 had jobs created for them in the organization. For home based care, 2,298 patients were visited through normal visits and Special Needs Team. Also 1,261 patients were supported with OI’s medication while 2,683 patients who were on ART’s were followed up.

5.0 Some of the achievements
5.1 Increased pupil’s capacity to educate using “The Fleet of Hope”. An exciting feature is that in the school health clubs pupils were able to use the approach of a ‘fleet of hope’. This is a teaching material for behavior change which activates a motion among the learners when discussing pictures in relation to different behaviors and way of preventing HIV transmission known as ABCD. A for Abstinence, B for Being faithful to one partner who has tested, C for use of a latex Condom and D for Doing other things instead of high risk behaviour and for adults D is for utilization of VCT service before engaging in sexual relations. 40 primary schools in
One of the youth who are in a youth Club at primary school teaching her fellow students about the Fleet of Hope in 2007
5.2 Enhanced Organizational Capacity: KIWAKKUKI received a management support from the partners’ normal monitoring visits and consultancy in Financial Accounting, Log frame development, Monitoring and Evaluation and Report Writing. Also there was training in Lobbying and Advocacy, ECD Tanzania partnership formation, Research Methodology, Planning for installation of the Human Resource Development and Financial Manuals
(Process to be completed in 2008) installation and Application of Quick Books Accounting software to enhance financial accountability.
5.3 Increased popularity and Credibility of KIWAKKUKI: The first lady of
Mama Salma Kikwete(centre) during KIWAKKUKI AGM in 2007
Also, the President of the United Republic of Tanzania Hon. Jakaya Mrisho Kikwete encouraged people to go for a VCT service at KIWAKKUKI in during the launch of the National VCT Campaign in September. This inspired KIWAKKUKI to launch a Mobile VCT service on top of the existing stand alone unit.
Moreover, KIWAKKUKI received letters of appreciation from individuals, like orphans who are supported and PLHIV, the Regional Medical Officer, The Moshi Municipal Director and friends of KIWAKKUKI from all over the world for the service delivered in the community. “We feel like the work you do is addressing more than one of the Millennium Development Goals, you are empowering women, helping children attain education and addressing the ongoing problems of the HIV/AIDS crisis.” written by a team of MDG Committee, Diocese of NC, USA.
Another development was the laying of the Foundation stone on the
The Kilimanjaro Regional Commissioner Hon. M. A . Babu placing the Foundation Stone on the KIWAKKUKI Vocational Skills Centre in February 2007
5.4 Mobile Voluntary Counseling and Testing results reflected impact of education
It was evident that the MVCT results proved that people who tested in their community locations had lower HIV prevalence rate (4.9%) than those who dropped at the VCT centre (10.75%). This could be due to the fact that those who report at the VCT centre were already asymptomatic and more anxious about their sero status than those in the community who may decide to test because the facility is there and because they have been reached by ongoing education. This is helping the community members to know their sero status on time, plan for a new or improved way of living and access early treatment and care.
5.5 Increased Networking and
Moreover, KIWAKKUKI conducted some private public partnership by distributing food to the AIDS patients and OVC in Kilimanjaro region in collaboration with the Prime Minister’s Office under a special contract originally signed in 2003 and renewed annually, providing medication to patients who missed them in the government health facilities, renovated and purchased pupils’ desks and teachers tables for 2 schools in Majengo ward. Also, an agreement was reached with village and street leaders to conduct Mobile VCT in several communities of
Also, KIWAKKUKI went on with collaboration in research with the
5.6 Improved Research Methodology Skills: 25 staff and council members acquired more skills on research methodology with emphasis on “Focus Group Management” that enhanced them to collect data in the two studies conducted last year. These skills will sustain future research work at KIWAKKUKI.
5.7 Provided quality care to AIDS patients per district: This was achieved through provision of medication for OI infections, school sponsorship for their children, home based care follow up especially of people on ART and supportive counseling. Food and Nutrition supplements were distributed every 6 months. Moreover, there was advocacy work on gardening, poultry keeping and IGA support to households having very young children. Furthermore, there were referrals made to other service providers and ongoing research to identify and address care giving and treatment gaps.
5.8 Promotion of Early Childhood Development (ECD): The strategic approach was putting the 0 – 8 year olds at the centre by supporting them through their surviving parents, caregivers and communities. Also by the community’s establishment of 2 children’s ECD play grounds making a total of 10. These are meeting places with parents and caregivers for resilience building health promotion and psychosocial support. In addition there was empowering of existing pre schools with ECD principles to make children ready for school. Also there was the launching of the advocacy for ECD issues inclusion in local, national and international poverty reduction policies through the formation of the ECD Partnership of Tanzania. On the part of access to micro credit, 38 beneficiaries who are conducting Income Generating Activities to support the children managed to access bigger loans from their ward based Savings and Credit Cooperative Society (SACCOS). More are expected to access loans from SACCOS in 2008. Another approach was by catering for child protection and addressing HIV and AIDS issues by teachers, administrators and a safe and stimulating learning environment. Moreover, KIWAKKUKI went on linking ECD with ICDP by taking good practices from each.

5.9 Increased access to quality and sustainable life by OVC at various levels.
111 sponsored children qualified to join secondary school from primary school, 11 children qualified to join high school and 5 children joined university. Out of 43 children who completed vocational training, 7 secured jobs in the private sector, 30 are self employed. 2 out of 3 students who completed university secured employment too.

5.10 Monitoring and Evaluation Strategy.
There was projects’ follow up monthly whereby reports were shared verbally and also in written form. The approach used by KIWAKKUKI entails follow up and promotion of sustainable responses to HIV and AIDS prevention, support and care. District Teams were formed to facilitate district follow up of activities. Also, PLHIV meetings took place monthly and quarterly mainly in the wards instead of districts to minimize meeting costs.
5.11 Improved efforts of sustainability.
Sustainability was enhanced by instituting a team leadership spirit which aimed at enabling greater participation of KIWAKKUKI staff and members in facilitating the implementation of projects as well as working with communities to enable them to implement and follow up HIV prevention and AIDS care. Some of the wards have developed active AIDS Committees which conduct Programmes on HIV prevention, orphans support, small income generation activities and care for the sick.
Moreover, there was the beginning of construction of the office building to enable KIWAKKUKI to own her own premises. Phase one of the construction which comprises of 2 floors, is expected to be ready by end of August 2008. Also there was the constructing of 2 skeletons of classrooms of the Vocational Training Centre. The school is expected to start in 2009 and will also include whole sale, retail shop, meeting facility rental, vegetable gardens. The climax of sustainability will be achieved when we finally integrate our work with the government work in district. The
