The Joint Programme aims to support an effective, evidence-based, and nationally-led multi-sectoral response to reduce the spread of HIV in Kenya, improve the quality of life of those infected and affected, and mitigate the socio-economic impact of the HIV epidemic. The Joint UN Programme of Support on AIDS supports the Kenya National HIV/AIDS Strategic Plan (2005/06– 2009/10) and the National AIDS Control Council (NACC). The Joint Programme builds on existing multi-partner, government-led, processes and activities, coordinated through NACC.

The Joint UN Programme of Support on AIDS encompasses:

  • Up to 100,000 beneficiary households in 74 districts in key programme components;
  • A duration of five years, from 01 July 2007 to 01 September 2012; and
  • Partnerships with NACC, the Ministry of Health, the Ministry of Education, and the Ministry of Home Affairs, including civil society and community-based groups.

The Joint UN Programme of Support on AIDS’s response targets several population groups:

  • Women and girls;
  • Orphans and vulnerable children;
  • Young people;
  • Mobile labour; and
  • People living with HIV/AIDS as active participants.

The Joint UN Programme of Support on AIDS is administered by the Multi-Partner Trust Fund Office (MPTF Office) of the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) in accordance with its financial regulations and rules.   

 

Assistance Strategy

The goal of the Joint UN Programme of Support on AIDS is to reduce the spread of HIV in Kenya, improve the quality of life of those infected and affected, and mitigate the socio-economic impact of the HIV epidemic.

Primary purpose: To support a multi-sectoral response to HIV/AIDS through the development of an effective, evidence-based and nationally-led Joint Programme. The Joint Programme aims at effective UN collaboration, improved donor harmonization, and alignment with the Kenya National HIV/AIDS Strategic Plan (KNASP, 2005/06– 2009/10) and the National AIDS Control Council.

The Joint Programme outcomes are also in line with the KNASP:

  • Outcome 1: Reduce the number of new infections in both high risk groups and the general population;
  • Outcome 2: Improve treatment and care, protection of rights and access to effective services for infected and affected people;
  • Outcome 3: Adapt and develop existing programmes and innovative responses to reduce the impact of the epidemic; and
  • Outcome 4: Support of the national HIV response with the “Three Ones” effectively functioning as the basis for all programming and resource allocation.

The commitment of the International Labour Organisation (ILO), International Organisation for Migration (IOM), Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS), United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA), United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF), United Nations Development Fund for Women (UNIFEM), United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC), World Food Programme (WFP), World Health Organisation (WHO) to the Joint UN Programme of Support on AIDS is reflected in the United Nations Development Assistance Framework (UNDAF). The UNDAF focuses on UN reform, harmonization and alignment of the UN system’s work on HIV/AIDS, particularly as it relates to increased alignment with the Kenya National HIV/AIDS Strategic Plan and promotion of the “Three Ones” principles.

The “Three Ones" principles aim to achieve the most effective and efficient use of resources, and to ensure rapid action and results-based management through: (1) one HIV/AIDS Action Framework that provides the basis for coordinating the work of all partners; (2) one National AIDS Coordinating Authority, with a broad-based multisectoral mandate; and (3) one country-level monitoring and evaluation system. The Joint UN Programme of Support on AIDS contributes primarily towards the achievement of Millennium Development Goal 6: Combat HIV/AIDS, malaria and other diseases.
