Considering HIV/AIDS in Development Assistance: A Toolkit

This toolkit has been prepared to assist staff of the Commission of the European Communities, particularly those in DGVIII (both those in the Headquarters and Delegations), and Consultants, in considering the implications of the HIV epidemic in the provision of development assistance.

Not all the documents will be applicable to all situations or all staff.

   
HIV/AIDS and Mining Toolkit

Southern Africa is particularly affected by HIV/AIDS. The disease already has a major impact in the economies in the region and especially on the mining sector, which is a key business driver.  Based on southern African experience, the Guide for the mining sector is a valuable tool in the fight against AIDS. It provides practical advice and management guidance that will help companies implement intervention strategies.

   
Turning Bureaucrats Into Warriors:  Preparing and Implementing Multi-Sector HIV-AIDS Programs In Africa

June 2004

These guidelines on preparing and implementing multi-sector HIV-AIDS programs are based on many lessons learned in Africa over the last three years and are designed as a generic operations manual (GOM) from which countries and implementing agencies can learn and adapt for their own use. There has been widespread consultation with relevant stakeholders in preparation of this manual and the responses have been taken into consideration in the final drafting. The GOM is meant as a “living document” to be updated continually on the basis of experience on the ground and to be used by anyone involved in HIV/AIDS programs who finds them useful

Local Government Responses to HIV/AIDS:  A Handbook  (September 2003)
As more people are infected with HIV/AIDS, cities/towns will see decreases in labor productivity, increased demand for services, lower capacity of users to pay for services, increased household vulnerability and increased numbers of absolute poor (e.g. orphans, PLWHA). The impact of HIV/AIDS on the functioning of local government and the potential contributions that local governments can make to address HIV/AIDS are areas of research/action that have been largely underdeveloped. Local Government Responses to HIV/AIDS: A Handbook is a recent publication produced by the World Bank Urban and Global HIV/AIDS programs in collaboration with a number of partners (AMICAALL, UNDP, UN-HABITAT, Urban Management Programme and Cities Alliance). The Handbook suggests a process and accompanying tools that can support local governments in strengthening and/or developing sustainable responses to HIV/AIDS. The Handbook guides local government authorities through steps of prioritizing HIV/AIDS, assessing local impact of HIV/AIDS, and developing an HIV/AIDS Response Strategy (including workplace policy, mainstreaming and coordinating local responses). It offers suggestions for mobilizing resources, implementing the strategy through partnerships (including civil society organizations, private sector and government agencies), and establishing systems of monitoring and evaluation.
   
Monitoring and Evaluation Operations Manual  (August 2002)
This manual attempts to: introduce key concepts; present simple, clear procedures, with a checklist of the process, timing and costs of building participatory programme M&E for NACs; offer key tools that implementing partners need for M&E; and provide examples of terms of reference and other M&E management and administration materials. This manual emphasizes: the development of the overall M&E system, in relation to the National Strategic Plan; and programme M&E or the monitoring of services provided through NACs and their implementing partners.

Preparing and Implementing MAP Support to HIV/AIDS Country Programs in Africa Volume I  (June 2002)
These guidelines on preparing and implementing HIV/AIDS programs in Africa, the Generic Operations Manual,GOM, are meant to bring together good practices on program preparation and implementation to enhance existing programs and demonstrate that more funding should be made available. The GOM was drafted in Nairobi, Kenya in April 2002.  The GOM is presently organized around a number of chapters, some of which, especially on implementation agencies, are meant to be self-contained, and thus there is considerable repetition, especially with regard to fiduciary aspects, so that they can be used as stand-alone pieces for discussion with stakeholder groups. The GOM is meant as a "living document", to be updated continually on the basis of experience on the ground and to be used by anyone involving in HIV/AIDS programs who finds them useful.
