Know Your HIV-Prevention Response: Southern Province, Zambia Chart Book on Implementation of HIV-prevention Interventions by NGOs 4 Introduction
In 2007, Southern Province of Zambia had an HIV prevalence rate of 14.5 percent among men and women aged 15-49 years (Central Statistical Office et al., 2009). Data provided by the National HIV/AIDS/STI/TB Council (NAC) showed that in 2010 HIV prevalence was highest in Livingstone (25.3 percent), followed by Mazabuka (18.4 percent). Overall, 15.7 percent of adults in the districts of Choma, Monze, and Siavonga and 15.2 percent of those in Kalomo and Kazungula were HIV positive. Gwembe and Namwala had the lowest prevalence of HIV in Southern Province (6.2 percent). The National HIV and AIDS Strategic Framework of 2011-2015 identified the acceleration and intensification of prevention in order to reduce the annual rate of new HIV infections as one of the four national priorities for the HIV and AIDS response (Zambia NAC, 2009).
In 2013, MEASURE Evaluation in collaboration with the NAC and the Institute of Economic and Social Statistics (INESOR) of the University of Zambia, implemented the Know Your HIV Response (KYR) study, a situation analysis of HIV-prevention interventions in Southern Province, Zambia. The study had three primary objectives:
• determine what specific HIV-prevention interventions were being implemented; • determine by which organizations and in which districts the interventions were being implemented; and • assess the extent to which the HIV-prevention response matched current HIV- transmission patterns, were focused on geographic areas where HIV was spreading most rapidly, and covered technical recommendations for populations at higher risk of HIV exposure.
The purpose of this chart book is to disseminate easily understandable information on gaps in HIV-prevention interventions in the nongovernmental sector in Southern Province. It is hoped that the information presented will guide program implementers as they select and prioritize prevention interventions that are needed to have an impact on HIV incidence and prevalence.
Data and Methods
The data come from a pilot test of the KYR tools. The study was funded by the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) and was implemented from September to October 2013 in Southern Province, in collaboration with the Institute of Economic and Social Research at the University of Zambia, and the NAC. One of the objectives of the pilot test was to determine whether data collected via the tool kit yielded information that was needed to assess the extent to which prevention interventions were focused on geographic areas where HIV was spreading most rapidly and covered technical recommendations for HIV-prevention among populations at higher risk of HIV exposure.
Know Your HIV-Prevention Response: Southern Province, Zambia Chart Book on Implementation of HIV-prevention Interventions by NGOs 5 The Program Implementer Core Questionnaire and Program Implementer Modules for Key (and vulnerable) Populations at Higher Risk of HIV Exposure provided the information analyzed in this chart book. The core questionnaire and modules were administered to all HIV-implementing organizations operating in Southern Province, based on a list of registered implementers provided by the NAC. A total of 93 Program Implementers in the nongovernmental organization (NGO)-sector were successfully interviewed, representing a response rate of 84 percent.
The core questionnaire collected basic information about the implementing organization and for each of the organization’s projects that currently conducted HIV-prevention activities, data were collected on the type of HIV-prevention activities implemented in the past 12 months, financial resources expended for HIV prevention activities in the past 12 months, and sources of funding for HIV-prevention activities implemented in the past 12 months. The structure of the core questionnaire was guided by Michael Sweat’s (2008) framework for classifying HIV-prevention interventions, which was published by the Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS).
The modules identified which of the following key/vulnerable populations were targeted by the organization in the past 12 months: female sex workers; men who have sex with men and transgender; people who inject drugs; young people aged 10-24 years in the general population; emergency settings and refugee/internally displaced populations; migrant and mobile populations; pregnant women, infants, and young children; uniformed personnel/services; and incarcerated populations. For each population subgroup, data were collected on a standard set of HIV-prevention interventions as well as on specific interventions for the group based on recommendations by the U.S. President's Emergency Plan For AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) and World Health Organization (WHO).
The study was approved by the Tulane University Human Research Protection Program Biomedical Institutional Review Board (IRB), New Orleans, Louisiana. Local IRB approval was obtained from ERES Converge, Lusaka; and authorization to conduct the study was from the Zambia NAC. Interviewers and supervisors received a one-day research ethics training, based on the FHI 360 Research Ethics Curriculum. The data collection instruments were pretested in Chongwe and Kafue Districts near Lusaka in July 2013.
The data were analyzed using Stata version 12.0. In order to estimate implementation rates for each intervention in a given district, percentages were calculated based on the total number of organizations that were completely interviewed (i.e., n=93 program implementing organizations for each calculation). Some charts also show the district availability (yes or no) of at least one surveyed organization that implemented a given priority intervention in the past 12 months for population subgroups at higher risk of HIV exposure.
