For the 3rd time running, ‘Chanuka Mtaani’ a grassroot community HIV forum was held right in the middle of the community with different attendees including: community health workers (CHWs), professionals in the field of HIV, representatives of various like-minded organizations, VAP’s HIV testing partners, youth program representatives, members of the community and representatives of the local administration. With the ongoing covid-19 restrictions and guidelines, the groups were divided into two categories. The main topics of the day were: Promoting critical dialogue on HIV/AIDS study findings, concerns that hinder reduction of new cases of HIV infection, the role of youth as HIV experts and more over the current Covid-19+ HIV.
Conducting HIV Pre and Post Survey
Monitoring and evaluation continues to play a key role in all the programs. All coaches report every activity that they conduct with the youth and collect pre and post intervention data to measure changes in program participant’s knowledge and attitudes the focus of the program. This is done through questionnaires and all information is entered into a scorecard, an excellent template that allows VAP staff to enter data offline and upload into a scoreboard. The scoreboard is a basic monitoring and evaluation that captures information including attendance, demographic data and pre/post surveys.
VAPCares Covid-19 Response Initiative
Under the belt of ‘VAPCares Covid-19’ Response initiative, Naivas supermarket, one of Kenya’s leading chain of supermarkets teamed up with VAP to distribute food and other covid-19 protective items including; soap and sanitizers. The food drive campaign aimed at various underprivileged strong hold communities of VAP’s program. With the distribution strategy in place to avoid commotion and other dangers during the pandemic period, the distribution were done through door-to- door visits of program participants with some of their parents visiting the office in few numbers and in turns. Additional food stuff is given to program participants during program graduations.
