Evaluation of Phase I of UNAIDS’ Faith-Based Initiative

Client: UNAIDS and PEPFAR
Donor: PEPFAR
Country: Africa (multiple countries)

 

UNAIDS mandated ACTFOR Performance to execute the evaluation of Phase I of the Faith-Based Initiative. This initiative was funded by PEPFAR who commissioned UNAIDS to implement it. Aligned with the objective to eradicate HIV-AIDS by 2030, this initiative is focused on the important role of faith-based organizations as both advocates to reduce stigma and discrimination and to provide care. The purpose of the project is to bridge important information gaps on the work of faith-based organizations in that field, to initiate global networking, and knowledge-sharing. The evaluation provided specific recommendations to inform the second phase to take place in 2017-18.
