PROJECT SUMMARY

During the implementation of the Global Fund Round 5, a need for better coordination and collaboration between these two sectors appeared. Creating a national system that will support the prompt use and transfer of technical knowledge and skills, and enable continuous activities in the field of HIV / AIDS was identified as a prerequisite for ensuring access to integral services of prevention, care, treatment and social support.

The aim of this project is to strengthen capacity of the ZZJZ F BiH and partner organizations (agencies for coordination and implementation) to provide an adequate response to HIV / AIDS. Within the project, a resource/informational/educational center will be established in the ZZJZ F BiH with aim of promoting the development of ethical and effective responses to HIV/AIDS through the knowledge management, capacity development, advocacy, data analysis and research. Center will be connected to the Municipal Committees for M & E (OOME) whose resumption is planned at the level of the wider community (municipality, and with the aim to improve support in the community with people affected and exposed to risk, partnership focuses on building institutional capacity and organizations which provide services of promotion, prevention, care, treatment and support related to HIV). Affiliation with OOME assumes proportional increase in activity for prevention, care and treatment of diverse populations. This project will contribute trough achieving sustainable development of human capacity and creating instruments for the continuous strengthening of institutions that are in any way involved in activities connected to preventing HIV and treating AIDS.

The project wasdevelopedinaccordancewiththe Draft ofNationalStrategyforHIV/AIDS, whoseadoption isforeseenby the end of the firstquarterof 2011.Currentdevelopmentsinthe field ofprevention, care, treatmentandsupportin thearea ofHIV / AIDS were taken into account.
