This project provides comprehensive HIV prevention and treatment, Prevention of Mother-To-Child Transmission (PMTCT) and maternal health, Sexual Reproductive Health, HIV/Family Planning integration, adolescent and young people-friendly services, HIV and STIs prevention, and Gender-Based Violence services. We use the District Led-Programming (DLP), Health, and community systems strengthening to increase access to quality comprehensive services integrated with Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR), Family Planning, Gender, and social inclusion to achieve and sustain epidemic control and strengthen data systems.

Specific objectives: The project has six Specific objectives as follows;

Objective 1. Sustain the proportion of PLHIV with known HIV status in Bunyoro region at over 95% through the project period

Objective 2. Sustain the proportion of PLHIV on ART in Bunyoro region at over 95% through the project period

Objective 3. Increase the proportion of people receiving ART virally suppressed from 70% to 95% by 2021 and sustain it through 2025.

Objective 4. Achieve 90% coverage of high impact combination prevention interventions in the Bunyoro region by 2025

Objective 5. Increase availability, access, and use of quality data to plan, monitor, and evaluate the HIV/AIDS epidemic response by 2025
