Children, Adolescents and Families in HIV in Limpopo Province

The Children, Adolescents and Families in the HIV Epidemic in Limpopo Activity will achieve the 95-95-95 goals by 2025 and reach and sustain epidemic control by ensuring equitable access to and use of health/HIV and social services among children and adolescents affected by HIV (and their families) and strengthening local social service systems to sustain an effective response for children, adolescents and their families.

The activity will advance local ownership and locally led solutions for a model of high-quality care and support of children and adolescents living with, affected by, and vulnerable to HIV, and their families in Limpopo.

This will support an ultimate transition to the South African Government Department of Social Development (DSD) and Provincial DSD to lead and sustain the response, advancing development outcomes for children, adolescents and their families. Programme objectives include: 1.

Increase access to and utilisation of comprehensive, preventive and DREAMS Family Strengthening services among children and adolescents 0-17-years and their families through implementation of evidence-based interventions; 2.

Improve Local Partner capacity for governance, programme monitoring, evaluation and reporting (MER), and stakeholder engagement at Provincial, District and Sub-District; and 3.

Strengthen Provincial, District and Sub-District social service workforce capacity to sustain an effective response for children, adolescents, and their families in high HIV burden districts.
