There are two interrelated project development objectives for the IGAD Regional HIV/AIDS Partnership Program (IRAPP) Support Project. They are to: A) Increase preventative action, and reduce misconception of cross border and mobile populations, refugees, internally displaced people (IDPs), returnees and surrounding host communities concerning HIV/AIDS prevention, treatment and mitigation in selected sites in the IGAD member states; and B) Establish a common and sustainable regional approach to supporting these populations in the IGAD member states. The Project has 3 components: 1) Support to refugees, IDPs, returnees, surrounding host communities and cross-border and mobile populations The objective of this component is to scale up HIV interventions in size and geographical areas for refugees, IDPs, returnees and surrounding host communities, as well as for vulnerable cross-border and mobile populations. This component will include two sub-components: (a) Refugees, IDPs, returnees and surrounding host populations; and (b) Cross-border and Mobile Populations (CBMPs). Subcomponent (a) is well advanced in preparation, and ready to be initiated at project effectiveness; 2) Cross-border collaboration on the health sector response to HIV/AIDS. Specifically, the objectives of this component are to: (a) provide a forum for interaction among IGAD countries in terms of information exchange, sharing of country experiences, and disseminating best practices and lessons learned from providing services to the project target population and facilitate potential harmonization of policies and procedures related to HIV/AIDS; (b) develop mechanisms for continuity of services across borders including referral systems for CBMPs in the selected treatment sites; and (c) develop and adopt a regional strategy for improved HIV, STI prevention, treatment and care services directed to cross-border and mobile populations; and 3) Project Management, Coordination, Capacity Building and Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E). This component would focus on three main sub-components: management and coordination, capacity building and M&E.
