The objective of the Second HIV/AIDS Support Project is to increase the access to HIV/AIDS/STI related services by high-risk groups in Niger. There are three components to the project, the first component being strengthening health services delivery for HIV/AIDS/STI. This component will consist of two subcomponents: improving the quality and availability of health service delivery; and piloting the output-based financing of HIV/AIDS services. The second component is the prevention of HIV/AIDS/STI for high-risk groups. This component will consist of carrying out prevention activities for (i) the prevention of HIV/AIDS/STI targeting sex workers and/or their clients; and (ii) the provision of support to AIDS orphans (including children of sex workers). Finally, the third component is the management, monitoring and evaluation. This component will strengthen the National Intersectoral AIDS Agency (CISLS) capacities in management and coordination of activities in the fight against HIV/AIDS/STI subsector through the provision of administrative, management and fiduciary support, capacity building at the central, regional and local levels, technical support to enhance the design of policies and strategies and implement monitoring and evaluation.
