Seite 1 How German Development Cooperation mainstreams HIV Joint guidance note of 12/2010 By BMZ, GTZ, DED, InWEnt et KfW

Seite 2 Seite 2 Outline  What does ‘Mainstreaming’ mean?  Goals and pillars of HIV mainstreaming (HIV MS)  How to implement HIV MS  HIV MS versus additional HIV-related outputs  Responsibilities and financing  M&E

Seite 3 Seite 3 Mainstreaming (vs outsourcing): moving HIV into the programme stream – rather than having it dabbling along as a side stream

Seite 4 Seite 4 HIV MS as organisational development process HIV mainstreaming does not mean running parallel HIV activities in all projects/programmes, but it means  Checking the programmes for HIV risks and impacts  Adapting them so as to mitigate against these risks and impacts Understanding HIV MS as organisational development process underlines that it is not about permanent parallel activities, but about optimizing organisational processes in countries affected by HIV epidemics

Seite 5 Seite 5 The pillars of HIV mainstreaming  Internal mainstreaming = WPP ..concerns the staff of the German implementing organisations  External mainstreaming ..concerns the GDC projects/programmes and therefore needs to involve partners and be aligned to partner policies

Seite 6 Seite 6 Goals of internal mainstreaming  staff has increased knowledge about HIV risks and ways to protect themselves against infection,  Staff has access to means of protection  GDC workplaces are free of HIV-related stigma and discrimination

Seite 7 Seite 7 Goals of external mainstreaming  To mitigate against potential impacts of these HIV epidemics on the attainment of project or programme goals  To ensure that the projects or programmes themselves do not inadvertently contribute to the spread of HIV

Seite 8 Seite 8 How to start external HIV MS  When? Ideally, when new programme or a new phase are planned (but also possible as part of annual planning)  With or without partners? With partners, building on their perception, policies and actions regarding HIV in that sector  Along which lines? Using the 3 questions (see next slide)

Seite 9 Seite 9 The three ‘HIV MS questions’

Seite 10 Seite 10 Adapting or adding outputs

Seite 11 Seite 11 Limits of external HIV MS  Such additional outputs/products:  Are not financed through the ‘3% authorization’  Require additional human and financial ressources  Need to be commissioned by BMZ

Seite 12 Seite 12 Responsabilities & Financing  GIZ workplace programmes:  Personnel department  Personnel costs  External mainstreaming:  Principal advisers with (ex DED) coordinators  Up to 3% of programme budget  Focal point in consultation with (ex DED) mainstreaming adviser  Technical advice and support throughout

Seite 13 Seite 13 Monitoring of external mainstreaming Every two years, head office monitors through HIV MS inventories 1.All projects/programmes were reviewed in relation to the three mainstreaming questions 2.There is plausible evidence for the identified risks 3.The projects/programmes results chains are adapted 4.The M&E systems are adapted  Sources:  Programme/project offers, project progress reports  Responsabilities:  Director(s) sign and submit to head office  Principal advisors provide required information  Focal Point fills in inventory

Seite 14 Seite 14 In high prevalence countries, every 4 years, an independent evaluation (desk study) checks indicator 5: All German projects and programmes for which HIV-related risks had been identified, mitigate against these through their modified or added outputs.  Sources:  Offers and project progress reviews  Interviews with key persons  Responsabilities:  Director(s) contract consultant  Focal Point supports collation of required documents and facilitates evaluation for consultant  Principal advisors provide requested information Evaluation of external mainstreaming
