FAMILY AND COMMUNITY STRENGTHENING PROGRAM (FCS) LEAD ORGANIZATIONS: COUNTRY: HIV PROGRAM AREA: Bega kwa Bega (BKB) Uganda Prevention, Care and Support OVERVIEW: The FCS program works with HIV-affected communities, providing a package of activities that it tailors based on community needs. Services and activities include basic health services, HIV counseling, HIV testing facilitation, home visits, income-generating activities, property and inheritance protection, water access assistance, and education scholarships. The program also addresses gender-based violence and harmful male norms and behaviors throughout various program activities, for instance through couples conflict trainings, health services for women victims of violence, and involvement of men in workshops to influence positive behavior change around reproductive health, violence, HIV prevention, and other health issues. Program activities have directly benefited more than 4,000 orphans, schoolchildren, their families, caregivers, and neighbors. Also, more women are seeking health services, and income-generating activities have given women more power and respect in the family. Sustainability is high because the multisectoral approach provides a variety of services, meeting a large range of family and community needs. BACKGROUND HIV & AIDS Program Goals The mission of BKB is to work together with communities affected by HIV and AIDS to improve the living conditions of orphans, vulnerable children and the women who care for them. The FCS program tailors a package of intervention activities based on community needs, including basic health services, HIV counseling, HIV testing facilitation, home visits, income generation, property inheritance protection, water access assistance, and education scholarships. Gender Strategies Addressed Reducing violence and coercion Addressing male norms and behaviors Increasing women’s legal protection Increasing women’s access to income and productive resources Other: gender equity Description of Intervention Based on a needs assessment in each new community, program staff tailor a package of intervention activities to accommodate community resources and needs. These activities include: • Mobile health clinic: A health clinic conducts two visits per week to provide rural communities that have little or no access to health care with health services (examinations, diagnosis, treatment for basic illnesses, HIV testing) and health education through community workshops. Bringing health services directly to the community increases gender equity in health, especially in the delivery of HIV services, as women are often least mobile and benefit most from locally available services. • Home visits: Staff assist people living with HIV and other critically 163
