Brief proposal summary (1 page)(please include quantitative information where possible):
Describe the overall goals, objectives and broad activities per component, including expected
results and timeframe for achieving these results:
HIV/AIDS
Goal: To contain the spread of HIV in the Kyrgyz Republic at the initial stage of the epidemic through
targeted interventions among the vulnerable groups and organization of support to people living with HIV
and AIDS patients.
Objectives:
1. Strengthening political and legal support to AIDS prevention programmes based on multisectoral approach
2. Reducing vulnerability of young people
3. Containing HIV infection among vulnerable populations
3.1 Reducing vulnerability of injecting drug users
3.2 Reducing vulnerability of sex workers
3.3 Reducing vulnerability of prison inmates
3.4 Reducing vulnerability of MSM
4. Ensuring safety of donors blood
5. Provision of medical and social support to people living with HIV/AIDS and affected by them
The component will be implemented throughout the whole country and will be focused on further building
institutional capacity of government organizations and NGOs based on multisectoral approach to
implementation of the HIV/AIDS prevention programmes. The key strategies for attaining the goal will be
consensus building on the issues of national policy for HIV/AIDS prevention; improvement of legislation and
law implementation practice; involving the people affected by HIV; and AIDS servicing NGOs in political
actions for HIV/AIDS prevention at the decision-making level. Main activities will involve establishing
graduate and post-graduate training of various specialists (doctors, teachers, army servicemen, law
enforcement officials), education of trainers for development of peer educational programmes and
implementation of compulsory educational programmes on fostering healthy lifestyle in all educational
establishments. More than one million students and at least 5,000 trainers and specialists will be exposed to
such programmes. Moreover, preventive programmes for the vulnerable populations will be expanded and
strengthened to cover: 33,000 injecting drug users (IDU), about 9,000 of estimated number of sex workers
(SW) and 500,000 of SW clients by 2007; 10,000 men having sex with men (MSM), 17,000 prison inmates,
and others. Harm reduction programmes will be strengthened to such level where they actually can impact the
further development of HIV spread. These will include: syringe exchange programmes from 4 to 60% of the
estimated IDU number, methadone substitution treatment from 2% to 80% of the officially reported IDU;
increasing access to condoms from 10% to 50%, and venereologic aid for MSM from 0.7% to 50%;
prevention programmes for sex workers from 60 to 80 %. Educational programmes on fostering healthy
lifestyle will be promoted for schoolchildren and students from 30 to 90%. Interventions will be expanded on
the basis of peer education and information support for nonschool youth from single events to regular
sustainable programmes in 6 regions of the country. The number of NGOs providing support to people living
with HIV/AIDS will increase. Access to antiretroviral therapy for people living with HIV will be ensured to
fully cover all people living with HIV/AIDS who need it.
All these activities will be implemented with appropriate support and participation of government
representatives at all levels both in the capital and the regions of the country. Role, technical qualifications
and partnership networks of governmental, nongovernmental, international, community-based organizations
and people living with HIV/AIDS and affected by it will be enhanced.
Outputs:
In 2005, multisectoral committees on AIDS prevention will function sustainably on the national and local
levels.
By 2003, people living with HIV/AIDS and affected by it, and representatives of NGOs will be included in
the multisectoral committees on HIV/AIDS at oblast and local levels and exert their influence on decisionmaking in AIDS prevention.
The country’s laws and existing legal practice related to people living with HIV and representatives of
vulnerable groups will be reviewed, documented and harmonized with norms of international law.
Institutions based on government structures and NGOs will be established to provide juridical and legal aid to
people living with HIV and representatives of vulnerable groups.

Public opinion and supportive environment will be formed to oppose stigmatisation and discrimination of
people living with HIV and representatives of vulnerable groups.
By 2007, national experts in 6 key agencies (health, education, defence, law and order, social security,
information, etc.) will be trained and a training base for these in said agencies established.
By 2007, 60% of the estimated number of IDUs will be involved in the syringe exchange programmes.
By 2005, 80% of sex workers will be covered by the peer education programmes.
By 2004, 90% of students from 10 to 24 will be exposed to training within the framework of compulsory
educational programmes on Healthy Lifestyle.
100% of the reported pregnant women living with HIV will be exposed to training and preventive treatment
to prevent pre-natal HIV transmission.
Starting from 2003, all people living with HIV who need proper treatment against HIV/AIDS with
immunological tests and viral load control will have access to it.
By the end of 2007, the estimated number of HIV cases will not exceed 2%, and the estimated number of
AIDS patients will not be more than 0.5% of the adult population of the country.
•
Specify the beneficiaries of the proposal per component and the benefits expected to accrue to them
(including target populations and their estimated number):
Principal beneficiaries of this proposal will be the entire population of Kyrgyzstan (total 5 million with 41
percent aged 10 to 29). On the whole, women as well as men and children will benefit by reduced morbidity
and mortality rates and alleviation of human, social and economic difficulties caused by HIV epidemic.
Immediate beneficiaries of the project will be government organizations, community-based and
nongovernmental organizations (CBO/NGO) involved in the activity on fighting STI, injecting drug use and
HIV/AIDS. Special target beneficiaries will be schoolchildren and youth in the age bracket from 11 to 25
(31% of the population – 1.55 million). Sexually active men and women are also of great importance, in
particular those who are especially susceptible to STI and HIV. Among these there are injecting drug users,
sex workers, men having sex with men, prison inmates and others (about 550,000). Benefits to them will be
developed owing to increased community capacity to respond to HIV/AIDS/STI epidemics and easier access
to required services and resources, first of all, to medicines and counseling through expansion of effective
preventive programmes. Both the Government and the civil society sector will assume responsibility for
reduction of the factors of vulnerability of the target populations. This will ensure a guaranty for observation
of human rights and respect for human dignity while implementing HIV/AIDS prevention programmes.
•
If there are several components, describe the synergies, if any, expected from the combination of
different components (By synergies, we mean the added value the different components bring to each
other, or how the combination of these components may have effects beyond the effects of each
component taken individually):
A combination of components on HIV/AIDS and TB prevention is especially urgent in the penitentiary and
correction system. Increase in the number of cases of HIV infection in prisons and correction facilities will
increase morbidity and mortality rates of tuberculosis as well as corresponding costs of TB treatment.
Besides, it will create additional difficulties for the people who provide care for AIDS patients since it will
expose them to a danger of tuberculosis infection. In connection with this, inclusion in the AIDS prevention
programme of issues of TB preventive treatment will enable increase of its effectiveness. In addition, it will
result in a drop in TB morbidity and mortality rates as well as increase the life expectancy and improve the
quality of life for people living with HIV/AIDS, and the AIDS-induced mortality rate will also drop.

TUBERCULOSIS
Describe the overall goals, objectives and broad activities per component, including expected results
and timeframe for achieving these results:
The overall goal of this component is to reduce morbidity and mortality caused by TB in the Kyrgyz
Republic. To achieve this goal three major objectives are set:
1. Improve detection and diagnosis of smear positive TB patients
2. Uninterrupted supply of TB drugs
3. Raising effectiveness of DOTS treatment
To implement all objectives of this component the following activities should be carried out:
Health promotion among the population to bring their awareness about the initial TB symptoms to 90%
by the end of 2007;
Provision of binocular microscopes and reagents as well as laboratory personnel training to help achieve
70% microscopic confirmation of the diagnosis by the end of 2007;
Integration of TB programmes with the primary health facilities network will permit to bring the
proportion of completely cured patients to 87% by 2007.
By 2007 the morbidity rate is to be reduced to 120 cases per 100,000 population and mortality rate to 10.2
cases per 100,000 population.
•
Specify the beneficiaries of the proposal per component and the benefits expected to accrue to them
(including target populations and their estimated number):
Beneficiaries of this proposal will be 8000 annually diagnosed TB patients, about 40,000 members of their
families, about 50,000 medical personnel and general public.
Expected benefits to them:
- Achieving clinical convalescence of 6,400 TB patients, successful treatment of 87%;
- Improving social situation of the population;
- Raising effectiveness of medical personnel work.
MALARIA
Describe the overall goals, objectives and broad activities per component, including expected results and
timeframe for achieving these results:
The goal of this component is to contain/prevent malaria outbreaks, reduce the incidence of malaria, prevent
its further spread across the country, and minimize socio-economic load of this disease through the
progressive strengthening of the capacities and capabilities of health services and mobilizing community
actions in Kyrgyzstan. Sustaining component activities beyond 2007 could reduce the impact of malaria to
sufficiently low level so that it n longer represents public health problem:
Objective: 1. To strengthen institutional capacities of the national malaria control programme, general health
services and enhanced capacity for decision-making related to malaria and its control and prevention
Objective: 2. To improve capacities and access to early diagnosis and radical treatment of malaria cases
Objective: 3. To improve capacities for timely response to and prevention of malaria outbreaks.
Objective: 4. To strengthen malaria surveillance mechanisms
Objective: 5. To increase community awareness and participation in malaria control and prevention activities
The component will be implemented during 2003-2007 by the Ministry of Health in cooperation with other
counterparts and potential donors. A specific feature of this period is that the generation of medical specialists
who were familiar with malaria is replaced by the generation of specialists with insufficient skills in the area
of malaria control. But the component will have a strong and flexible management structure for
implementation of efficient and technically sound and sustainable programme of malaria control adapted to
national conditions and meeting local needs. The component will strengthen the national capacity in health
service area engaged in containment of the malaria outbreak, reduction of its incidence rate and preventing its
further spread over the country. The project will focus the efforts of the Government and Ministry of Health
on solution of malaria issues through build-up of the respective service capacity, increase of opportunities for
and access to early recognition/correct treatment and timely response to and prevention of malaria outbreaks,
strengthening surveillance mechanisms and raising public awareness and participation in malaria prevention
activities.

500 students and 1,800 medical personnel will be trained annually in programme management to build up the
capacity for project activities planning and implementation; a system of graduate and post-graduate training
of medical personnel will be established as well as 400 Regional/District Medical Officers trained in existing
approaches to disease management, epidemic control and community mobilization.
The broad activities will be aimed at setting up a supervision system including 3 reference laboratories for
quality control of laboratory services and ensuring their functionality as well as 3 reference centers for
assessment of quality of care and ensuring its functionality. 250 laboratory staff will be trained in malaria
microscope. 75 laboratories in select health centers will be upgraded.
It is necessary to develop/modify/produce training/learning materials on disease management and prevention,
to upgrade laboratory facilities in select health centers. Insecticides and equipment for spraying project
transportation, laboratory equipment/supplies and drugs/other items required for disease management will be
procured and delivered to malaria-prone zones as well as equipment and supplies to improve supervision and
monitoring of project activities at all levels. Emergency preparedness of specialized health service for and
response to malaria epidemics in project areas where outbreaks are a recurring problem will be improved.
Strengthening community and family care and prevention practices trough provision of IEC materials,
awareness raising sessions, community support, skills building and mass media will be attached much
attention. Efficient monitoring mechanism for detection/assessment epidemic situations will be developed for
operational response. Social mobilization of communities for prevention and response to malaria should be
undertaken.
Expected outputs:
Health service personnel and managerial staff at all levels of malaria prevention and control trained. Physical
plant for malaria laboratory diagnosis properly equipped. The country developed its capacity for effective
control of the malaria vector as well as its resources for radical treatment and chemoprophylaxis to have
achieved epidemic containment and decrease in the incidence and mortality rates in the southern region of the
republic. An improved system of epidemiological surveillance established.
Specify the beneficiaries of the proposal per component and the benefits expected to accrue to them
(including target populations and their estimated number):
The main beneficiaries of this proposal will be the population of the southern regions of the country (Osh,
Jalal-Abad and Batken oblasts) with the total population of 2.5 million including children below 14.
Chemoprohylaxis will annually cover 10,000 strong population of the malaria-prone populated areas
bordering with Tajikistan. Furthermore, additional beneficiaries will be the people who have come to the
republic from malaria-prone countries (ethnic Kyrgyz, refugees, army servicemen, road maintenance workers,
joint ventures employees, seasonal workers etc.).
Expected benefits:
- Reduced social-economic burden of malaria on the population;
- Prevention of mortality among children and pregnant women due to a tropical form of malaria (Pl.
falciparum);
- Population trained in malaria prevention and control activities.

the
background
and
the
process
of
forming
the
CCM:
Guided by the Global Fund requirements, members of the existing collective coordinating bodies (National
Multisectoral Coordinating Committee on Prevention of HIV/AIDS, STI and Infections Transmitted by
Injections under the Government of the Kyrgyz Republic; National Coordinating Committee on TB Control
under the Presidential Administration of the Kyrgyz Republic; National Emergency Epidemics Control
Commission of the Kyrgyz Republic) as well as members of the technical expert groups under them held a
meeting on August 10, 2002, (Minutes No.1 – Attachment 5.1) and formed by consensus a single Country
Coordinating Mechanism (CCM) to fight HIV/AIDS, TB and malaria with 29 members. Prime Minister of
the Kyrgyz Republic approved the structure of CCM in September 2002 (Attachment 5.2).
The procedures in operation in the country are used in the following way:
The existing National Multisectoral Coordinating Committee on Prevention of HIV/AIDS, STI and Infections
Transmitted by Injections under the Government of the Kyrgyz Republic has been functioning since 1997. Its
new improved structure with 39 members was approved by the Government of the Kyrgyz on 13 December
2001 through the Governmental Decree #785. First Vice Prime Minister of the Kyrgyz Republic heads it. The
committee includes 27 representatives of central and local government, 4 representative of NGOs, 2
representatives of religious faiths, 5 representatives of mass media and 1 representative of an international
organization (Attachment 2.4).
The “Healthy Nation” National Coordinating Commission under the Government of the Kyrgyz Republic had
been coordinating the activities on implementation of the National Programme “Tuberculosis” according to
Decree of the Government of the Kyrgyz Republic dated December 15, 1995. Due to the reform of
government, Presidential Ordinance RP No. 270 dated August 8, 1998 transferred the functions of the
“Healthy Nation” Commission to the Commission on Health and Medical Insurance Reform under the

As stated above, the CCM was established on the basis of abovementioned coordinating committees and
members of the Emergency Anti-epidemic Commission. Through efforts of Coordinating Committee for
control of HIV/AIDS, the present State Programme for prevention of AIDS, infections transmitted sexually
and through injecting way in the Kyrgyz Republic, was developed. The Programme envisages improvement
of the national policies and legislation in terms of HIV/AIDS prevention. It sets HIV prevention among IDUs,
SWs, MSM, and youth as national priority. Current interventions are focused on protection of vulnerable
groups of population and include information, communication and education component, provision of
condoms, treatment of genital infections transmitted sexually, as well as exchange of syringes and needles for
IDUs, distribution of disinfectants and substitution therapy.

Describe the organizational processes:
A representative from the Government (First Vice Prime Minister) and a representative from NGO (Chair
of the National Red Crescent Society) were appointed as the Co-Chairs of the CCM. The CCM meeting is
considered competent if all its members are present. Attempts to reach consensus of all CCM members are
made to make their decisions. If consensus is not achieved the decision is made by a qualified majority of
¾ of all votes (i.e. not less than 21 of 29) keeping in mind also that government representation on the CCM
is limited to only 9 members.
CCM secretaries are heads of national centers on AIDS, TB and malaria control. In its operations the CCM
uses technical experts groups which exist under the corresponding coordinating committees.
The groups include professionals working both in government, nongovernmental and private sectors
(Attachment 3). These technical groups submit to the CCM the expert statements on the issues under
consideration. UNDP, which was recommended as the primary recipient of the grant, also works in CCM.
2.
Describe the mode of operation of the CCM:
According to its Rules, the CCM meets not less than once a quarter, on the last Friday of March, June,
September, and December. The Secretariat develops a draft agenda that is approved by both Co-Chairs and
by a preceding meeting of the CCM. Any CCM member may submit proposals for the agenda. All
submitted proposals are considered at the CCM meeting. Extraordinary meetings of the CCM may be called
on the initiative of any of its members.
Major functions:
Collective management of the organization and implementation of activities to fight HIV/AIDS, TB and
malaria financed by the Global Fund;

SECTION III:
General information about the country setting
18 Describe the burden or potential burden of HIV/ AIDS, TB and /or Malaria: (Describe current
epidemiological data on prevalence, incidence or magnitude of the epidemics; its current status or stage of the
epidemics; major trends of the epidemics disaggregated by geographical locations and population groups,
where this data is available and/or relevant; Guidelines para. III.37 – 38), (1 – 2 paragraphs per disease
covered
in
proposal):
HIV/ AIDS
The Kyrgyz Republic has a rapid growth of HIV/AIDS epidemics. As of September 1, 2002, there were 310
HIV cases reported in the country, of which 257 belong to 2001 and 2002. In 2001 the number of officially
registered HIV infection cases exceeded more than 10 times the corresponding indicators of 2000 and 2.8
times the number of cases registered for this epidemic during the entire period since 1987. This growth is
related to HIV outbreak among injecting drug users. The latter make 85% of all HIV cases, and 95% of cases
registered in 2001. The number of HIV cases in the most affected region, Osh oblast, increased 44 times in
2001 in comparison with the entire previous period, and injecting drug users (IDU) make 97% of all
registered cases. Seven patients have already died because of HIV, including four due to AIDS. HIV infection
spreads among the people of reproductive age. HIV infection prevails among men (81%), especially in the
age up to 29 (64%). 56% of people living with HIV are in prisons and correction facilities.
However, as per the UNAIDS experts’ assessment, the actual number of HIV infection is 10 times more and
reaches about 3,000 people. A the same time sentinel surveillance showed through examination of drug users’
blood traces in their syringes conducted in 2000 that the rate of HIV prevalence in the group under
investigation is 11.5 to 18.5 percent in Bishkek and 32.2 to 49.8 percent in Osh. On the basis of that the
estimated number of HIV-infected IDUs was identified to reach 6,550 in Bishkek and 2,050 in Osh. If
resolute measures are not taken in this situation, then, as the experience of epidemic development in Russia
and other CIS countries shows, before the end of 2003 up to 70% of the injecting drug users (about 40,000
people) can be infected.

HIV infection spread in the Kyrgyz Republic was preceded by an epidemic of syphilis. Syphilis incidence
during the period 1990 to 1997 grew over the country 77 times and in Bishkek 140 times. Although there is
steady stabilization and reduction of the rate of incidence at present, the rate on the whole remains still high.
Thus in 2000, 4,278 cases were reported, or 87.5 per 100,000 population, which is 25 times greater than in
1990. Besides, officially reported cases of syphilis do not reflect a true picture of its prevalence. According to
expert opinion, official statistics know not more than 60% of the real number of syphilis cases. This is
confirmed by the increase during the last years of the proportion of latent and late forms of syphilis as well as
congenital syphilis.

Kyrgyzstan is situated along one of the main drug traffic routes. At present, illicit drug traffic is well
established through Osh oblast on the route: Afghanistan and Tajikistan – Khorog – Osh – Bishkek – CIS –
Eastern Europe. Drugs are cheap and easily accessible: a heroin portion in Osh city costs USD 0.5 and USD 2
in Bishkek city.
Until 1986-87, basically only individual cases of hashish and opium addiction had been observed in the
country. According to the Report of the State Commission on Drug Control, during the period of 1991-2000
drug abuse incidence had increased almost six fold. At this, “the age of a statistically average drug addict in
Kyrgyzstan was lowered to 14-15, and there were individual cases of using drugs at an even earlier age of 1012 (!)”1 Almost half of the injecting drug users are of the most reproductive age (from 21 to 30), and 15% of
them are youth of 16 to 20 years old. As of January 1, 2002, the National Center of Narcology of the Ministry
of Health has official record of 5,100 persons with the drug dependency, including 30 under-aged. Increase of
amounts of opium and heroin in transit through Kyrgyzstan has resulted in the growth of the injecting drug
use among the citizens of the country to reach 96.8% that is fraught with the danger of catastrophic spreading
of HIV, hepatitis and other diseases2.
Actual scope of drug abuse is greater than the official statistics shows. The preliminary results of the rapid
assessment in Bishkek done by the UNODCCP Project, certify that “the number of drug users is 15 times
more than the official statistics figure of the narcology service” 3 and is about 80,000-100,000. Based on this
estimate, the minimal number of IDU in the country is 55,040 (68.8%) of the total number of drug users.
Whereby the level of drug addiction in Kyrgyzstan is the highest among all Central Asian countries and
reaches 1,644-2,054 per 100,000.4 (1,110-1,251 in Kazakhstan; 262-367 in Uzbekistan).
The behavior studies, conducted in 2000 among injecting drug users show high HIV vulnerability of the
representatives of this group. 96% of the polled share their doses, and only 14% of them use sterile syringes;
99% take drug by their own syringe from a common container; 35% use one syringe over 20 times; 42% cent

of the polled drug addicts took used or common syringes more than twice. 64% of the polled IDU cannot
afford buying syringes.
According to available estimates, the total number of sex workers (SW) in the country is about 3,000 females
and males including 1,600 in Bishkek, 750 in Osh, 200 in Jalal-Abad. The turnover of their clients with an
average rate of 1-2 clients per SW a day is 1-2 million clients a year (300,000–500,000 persons). Rapid
change of group structure – 40% a year – is of special significance. It means that during five years 9,000
young people will be involved in sex industry. There is a high rate of unsafe sexual contacts. The proportion
of unprotected sexual contacts is great. The rate of condom use (identified on the basis of sex workers
reports) in two large cities where target prevention programmes are being developed, is a little more than 60%
of the total number of working sexual contacts. However, in most cities of the country where such
programmes are not present the rate of condom use by sex workers and their clients in expert estimate hardly
exceeds 10%. STI incidence is high here. Among sex workers who visited a venereologist for the first time in
2001, not less than 37% were syphilis diagnosed. The number of IDU among SW is 2-3% but according to
available expert assessment the proportion of drug users among SW has a tendency to increase. HIV
hazardous drug use is spread among this subgroup practices.
There is a high level of population mobility in the country. As of 1 September 2002, 7,122 Tajik refugees
have been registered officially in the country, and there are also other smaller groups (Chechen, Afghan
refugees). Considerable internal migration and high mobility of the population especially from the rural areas
are important in terms of HIV spread. The research carried out within the framework of preparation of the
UNDP Human Development Report 2002 in the mountainous regions of the country noted that half of the
rural population departed from their villages and many of them (35 to 86%) came back. Migrants including
refugees are low-income citizens changing their residence under the pressure of political and economic
circumstances. When left to their own means they replenish the groups with high-risk behavior. Sex workers
are recruited from their number (49% of sex workers in Bishkek are villagers who came to the city in search
of better life; 22% came from small towns), as well as potential and actual drug dealers, and drug users.
In penitentiary facilities 132 HIV cases were registered among the convicts, this comprising 56% of all
number of HIV cases in the country. The prevalence of HIV among prison inmates is 776.4 per 100,000
prisoners, which is 131.6 times higher than among adult population in the whole country. A high rate of STI
is also maintained there. In 2001, syphilis incidence rate in prisons was 3,470 per 100,000 population (70
times higher than among the general population of the country). 70% of the convicts are drug addicts and
80% of them use drugs by injections. The penitentiary system conditions do not permit to carry out necessary
behavioral research, which is explained by the closed nature of the group and lack of trust of the prisoners in
preservation of confidentiality of that information. At the same time, according to anonymous survey among
the prisons inmates and the warders conducted in 2002 it was found that drugs were accessible in all
correction facilities, from 40 to 50% of the inmates use drugs by injections while 70 to 80% use common
syringes and needles. In connection with this there is a real danger of rapid spread of HIV, hepatitis, syphilis
and other infections in correction facilities of the Kyrgyz Republic.
According to research data, at present in Kyrgyzstan there are about 30,000 sexual minority representatives.
Bishkek is best studied in this respect and here targeted AIDS prevention programmes are carried out
covering 5,000 MSM. Currently there is no specific information about other regions of the country. However,
joint expert assessment performed in Osh by international and national experts shows significant
representation of this group in Osh region as well as unsafe with respect to HIV sexual practices among
MSM. At the same time these groups in the regions of the country have a reserved nature, so they are not
reached with educational and informational programmes on AIDS.
EPIDEMIOLOGICAL SITUATION ON TB IN THE KYRGYZ REPUBLIC
Due to the economic situation in the country and the global expansion of tuberculosis incidence the Kyrgyz
Republic got a significant reservoir of TB infection which determines the nature of epidemiological situation
for this infection.
After a certain period of dropping levels of TB morbidity, prevalence and mortality, annual increase of TB
incidence among all age groups started being registered in the country since 1994. Over the last seven years,
the epidemiological situation in the country with respect to TB has remained strained which is evidenced by a
stable annual growth of its incidence. During this period, the incidence rate grew from 72,4 to 127,3 per
100,000, i.e. 1.9 times. The highest growth rate of incidence was registered in 1995 and 1996 (21,7% and
20,0%, respectively).

The rate of incidence in the country increased in 2001 against 2000 from 121,8 to 127,3 per 100,000 (or from
150,9 to 167,8 per 100,000 if the penitentiaries and corrections are included).

The rate of mortality in the country was 13.5 per 100,000 in 2001 (12.6 in 2000).
When analyzing the composition of those who died of TB it was found that cases of chronic forms of TB and
TB patients from such groups as homeless people, drug addicts, alcoholics and ex-convicts prevailed here.

MALARIA
Malaria as an epidemic was eradicated in Kyrgyzstan in 1959. Before 1980 there were no malaria cases
reported in the republic. However, owing to the deterioration of the malaria situation in neighbouring
countries of Central Asia, especially in transboundary areas of Tajikistan, massive cross-border population
movements, and lack of appropriate malaria control malaria cases once again started to appear in the country
since 1996. The malaria situation has been also aggravated by a steady increase in the number of imported
malaria into the country during the past years. The majority of malaria cases were imported from Tajikistan.
During 1995-2000, 70 cases of malaria were reported in the country, of which 13 were imported. In 2001, the
number of cases of malaria reported continued to rise, and by the end of September 2002 more than 1,600
malaria cases have been reported. Among these, there are 478 children below 14 (31.8%) including 38
infants under 1 year (2.8%), and 215 from 1 to 6 years of age (14.3%). The country is facing an outbreak of
malaria in the southern regions (OSH, Batken and Jalal-Abad oblasts) in areas bordering Tajikistan and
Application Form for Proposals to the Global Fund
Page 18 of 111
18
Uzbekistan. The malaria situation in these border areas remains very serious, and there is an alarming trend
towards an increase in the incidence of malaria in the country in years to come. When applying treatment to
children difficulties arise due to very bitter taste of the drugs (there are no drugs in the form of syrups for
children).
The country has been sub-divided into zones with high, moderate and low malaria potential, and although
only a tiny part of the country is considered a high-risk zone, this is a densely populated area (with 2.5
million population) The malaria problem may become a major obstacle to development in Kyrgyzstan, where
at present more than 50 per cent of the total population lives in areas where conditions are favourable for the
transmission
of
malaria.
The National Malaria Prevention and Control Programme is at present implemented and supported by WHO,
and activities consist of diagnosis, disease management, epidemic control, training and surveillance.
However, the limited resources invested by the Government and WHO result in lack of sufficient funding to
cope with the malaria problems in the country.
Plasmodium vivax malaria cases have been registered in the country but data on malaria incidence rate in
Tajikistan show that this year the specific weight of tropical malaria cases there reached 20% of the general
malaria incidence.

19. Describe current economic and poverty situation:
The Kyrgyz Republic faced severe economic problems after gaining independence. Every second person
(52,3%) in Kyrgyzstan lives below the poverty line5, and every sixth (17,8%) is under extreme poverty line6
(which is US$7 per month). Kyrgyzstan is one of the poorest countries of the Central Asian region. The AIDS
epidemic crises may destroy medical resources and generate political and social instability.
The state budget deficit (in 2000 more then 9% of GDP) is one of the major economic problems of the
country. Servicing the state debt that exceeds the value of annual GDP (137,2%7 of GDP in 2000) is
becoming the biggest article of state expenditures. It requires further reduction in the limited funds, which
have been allocated for execution of the main state functions.
In 2000 Kyrgyz GDP was USD 1,304,000,000 or USD 265 per capita. Foreign investments constituted 9,2%
of GDP8.

General Poverty Line is meant i.e. a minimal level of consumption of primary food and non-food products. See:
Project “Zdorovie 21 (Health 21)” (basis of policy for achieving good health for all people in Kyrgyzstan), Chapter
'
Poverty'
.

Human development index was 0.706 in 1999 and 0.719 in 2000. Living standards in Kyrgyzstan are the
lowest among NIS countries. Monthly per capita income - USD 16,7 - cannot provide for the minimum
consumer budget (which is USD 25).
Lack of finance is a dominating factor hindering implementation of social programs. In 2000, only 2.1% of
GDP9 or USD 20,6 million had been allocated for the public health service, which covered only 50% of its
requirements. Real drop in public health funding (with account of inflation) is even more substantial. In
connection with this, the volume and quality of health service including the needed treatment of sexually
transmitted diseases and drug addictions is dropping. Besides, due to the same reason the state guarantees for
provision of safety of medical procedures including donors’ blood safety cannot be ensured in full.
The rate of unemployment and partial employment is estimated at about 26 percent. 62% of the unemployed
are women10. Poor able-bodied population has suffered much more from a much higher rate of irregular jobs
during the year especially in the rural areas. According to poverty estimates, provided by the World Bank for
1999, women in Kyrgyzstan have a 1.5 times higher chance to loose the job in comparison to men. Lack of
permanent source of income, impossibility to find a job as well as such social constraints as the requirement
to have permanent residence and official registration of that, force young women to provide sexual services
for money or other material benefits. Due to the same reason a still growing number of people are drawn into
drug traffic. The feeling of despair, lack of prospects generates manifestations of domestic cruelty including
that with respect to under-age children and refusal to care for them. This increases the number of homeless
children who left their parents because of cruel treatment or because of being abandoned by them. More and
more children are involved in heavy work and drawn into criminal structures. There is evidence of teenager
and child prostitution but this phenomenon has not been studied yet and not included in the priorities of the
National Strategic Plan on HIV/AIDS Prevention or in other social programmes we can have access to. The
beleaguered economy and complicated social situation in the country lead to abuse of alcohol, drugs and
other forms of addictive behavior.
Grave economic problems against the backdrop of a high poverty rate and lack of adequate social safety net
infrastructure impose constraints on the capacity to finance HIV/AIDS prevention programs. The country is
unable to ensure even the required level of donor’s blood testing for HIV. In 2000, only 95,2% donors had
been AIDS tested in the country, including 78,4% in Osh oblast.
Limited allocations are unable to ensure the provision for free qualified and specialized medical care and free
medicines supply for people living with HIV stipulated by the “Law on AIDS Prevention” and the respective
National Program.
Poverty leads to such a lifestyle that people are at higher risk of being infected with HIV. The Government is
unable to develop preventive programs for vulnerable groups and supply them with the required protective
means against AIDS (clean syringes, condoms). For poverty reason, representatives of those groups alone
(SW) cannot buy condoms and pay for treatment of STI, as this amount is a significant article of their family
budget. Due to severe economic situation the Government is unable to ensure adequate financing to promote
HIV/AIDS prevention activities and render medical and social support to people living with HIV and AIDS
patients.
Further spreading of HIV creates substantial hindrances for economic and social development of the country,
which will still increase the level of poverty.
20. Describe the current political commitment in responding to the diseases:
HIV/AIDS
The Kyrgyz Government is aware of HIV problem significance and undertakes certain steps to overcome it.
In 1996, the Law on “AIDS prevention in the Kyrgyz Republic” was adopted. In 1997, Kyrgyz National
Program on AIDS/STI prevention for 1997-2000 was approved. Based on situation analyses and activities on
HIV/AIDS epidemic prevention, Strategic Plan of National Activities was developed to counter the
epidemics. These documents were used as a basis for the second State Program for 2001 – 2005 approved by
the Governmental Decree of 13.12.01 No 785 “On Prevention of HIV/AIDS, infections transmitted sexually
and through injecting way in the Kyrgyz Republic”.

AIDS prevention activities use multisectoral approach on the basis of partnerships between the Government
of the Kyrgyz Republic, ministries, administrative departments, NGOs and international agencies.
Interventions for HIV/AIDS prevention are made in compliance with the UNAIDS policies.
The Government carries out financing of AIDS prevention programmes through the Ministry of Health,
Ministry of Education and Culture and other ministries. However, the completed program (for 1997-2000)
was financed only by 18%. The newly adopted program (for 2001-2005) also lacks actual funding support.
Along with this, the Government tries to find resources to support the most important programs. Thus, in the
country contributed USD100,000 to the joint Project with involvement of the Government, UNDP and
UNAIDS Programme (1997-2000). The Programme on syringes exchange, implemented at the expense of
International Organizations (UNDP, UNAIDS, Soros-Kyrgyzstan Foundation) has been partially financed
from the local budget in Osh oblast.
A Joint UN Agencies Programme on Expanded Response to HIV/AIDS in the Kyrgyz Republic is
implemented to support the Government programme for AIDS prevention. It is signed by First Vice Prime
Minister of the Kyrgyz Republic and UN Resident Coordinator in Kyrgyzstan. This Programme unites all UN
agencies represented in the country and Central Asian region and is implemented on the basis of the principle
of national execution. Prime Minister’s Office is the executing agency. The amount of the programme is one
million US dollars of which USD 510,000 has already been allocated.
TB
The Government of the Kyrgyz Republic and the Ministry of Health have been implementing measures to
contain the expansion of TB infection. Thus, in 1996 the National Programme «Tuberculosis» for the period
of 1996-2000 was approved, in 1998 the Law of the Kyrgyz Republic «On Protection of Population against
Tuberculosis», and in 2001 the National Programme “Tuberculosis-II” for 2001-2005 were passed. Decrees
of the Government of the Kyrgyz Republic, legal acts of the Ministry of Health, Ministry of Internal Affairs,
Ministry of Agriculture and Water were adopted to regulate implementation of urgent measures against
tuberculosis across the entire country.
MALARIA
The government of Kyrgyzstan confronting the resurgence of malaria in the country has committed itself to
taking all necessary measures aimed at containing the on-going malaria epidemic. The idea of partnerships is
supported, the National Emergency Epidemic Commission was established, multisectoral decisions are made
and notwithstanding the continued budget deficits funds for malaria control are allocated.
The RBM country project proposal was drawn up by the Ministry of Health of the Kyrgyz Republic with
technical assistance from WHO/EURO and submitted/re-submitted to potential donors in 2000 and 2001. The
RBM Project was planned to support the country in partnership building and working together on the
promotion of health sector actions that prevent malaria outbreaks, reduce the incidence of malaria and prevent
the resumption of malaria transmission in other areas of the country. The national strategy and programme
were developed in accordance with the concept and principles of the “ Roll Back Malaria ” global and
regional movement.
Kyrgyzstan’s specialists joined in the WHO RBM programme and recognized the main ideas of partnership.

A grant of the German Development Bank for procurement of medical equipment and drugs to the amount of
5 mln DM in 2001. These funds facilitated introduction of DOTS strategy in Kyrgyzstan.
The malaria control programme in Kyrgyzstan is funded by WHO. However, the Government and WHO
allocate at present limited resources to fight malaria and the country needs additional aid to cope with the
malaria problem.
During the last years WHO assistance was focused on capacity strengthening of the National Programme of
Prevention and Control of Malaria through provision of technical assistance and consultations, overseas and
in-country training, conduct of entomological research, supply of anti-malaria drugs, equipment for
laboratories and spraying, expendable supplies, support of IEC campaigns in the country and strengthening
malaria surveillance especially in the areas adjacent with Tajikistan and Uzbekistan.
At present malaria control activities include mainly disease management, control of the epidemic, personnel
training, surveillance, procurement and distribution of expendable supplies/equipment.
22. National programmatic context
22.1. Describe the current national capacity (state of systems and services) that exist in response
to HIV/AIDS, TB and/or Malaria:
Public health system is a key link in organization of prevention of HIV, tuberculosis, and malaria and bears a
considerable share of responsibility for implementation of the State Programme of Prevention of HIV/AIDS
and National Programme on Tuberculosis in the Kyrgyz Republic. The Ministry of Health represented by the
AIDS National Association carries out the Secretariat functions for the multi-sectoral coordinating committee
on AIDS prevention under the Government of the Kyrgyz Republic as well as the National Emergency AntiEpidemic Commission. The health system structure comprises of specialized facilities at the national and

oblast levels. These are the AIDS National Association, five oblast AIDS prevention centers and 36 AIDS
diagnostics laboratories with the staff of about 200, the National Narcological Center, the National
Dermatology and Venereal Dispensary, the National Blood Transfusion Center and oblast units represented
either by independent establishments or divisions in the multi-discipline association of hospitals, and other
institutions. The health facilities carry out epidemiological monitoring including sentinel surveillance over
spreading of HIV/AIDS, perform detection, treatment and observation of the patients, undertake measures to
prevent transmission of infections including that within the hospitals, safety of donors’ blood, and coordinates
development of educational programmes.
At present the health system of the Kyrgyz Republic undergoes reform in line with the “Manas” Programme
funded through the World Bank loan. The main goals of the reform are to improve primary medical and
sanitary aid to the population. The reform envisages health improvement of the population; strengthening
preventive orientation of medicine, growth in the volume and improvement in the quality of medical aid,
transfer of the emphasis of medical assistance from permanent establishments to outpatient clinical level.
Strategic areas in the achievement of these goals will be the reform of financing, management and human
resource policies on the basis of decentralization and redistribution of resources.
Health service financing is effected through national and local budgets, compulsory medical insurance funds,
the share of which in 1999 was about 15% of the national budget, and also through revenues from extrabudgetary activities (9% in 1999), grants and loans provided to health service bodies and facilities. On the
whole, public health sector suffers from chronic budget under-funding, which constitutes 2.1% of GDP. State
budget funds are allocated by the Ministry of Finance via the Ministry of Health to specialized national health
facilities (for example, to the AIDS National Association), oblast AIDS centers are funded from oblast
budgets, and AIDS laboratories from local budgets on account of funds allocated for health service. A similar
system exists for other health establishments, organs and institutions of other agencies (education, defense,
social protection) participating in the implementation of the corresponding departmental programmes on
AIDS prevention. Grants from international organizations are provided to governmental or nongovernmental
organizations for implementation of the agreed and approved programmes. Loans, large projects and
programmes of the UN system agencies are implemented on the basis of bilateral agreements with the
Government of the Kyrgyz Republic. Nongovernmental organizations are not financed from the national
budget. They implement AIDS prevention programmes mostly using their own grants and at the expense of
grants from international organizations. Absence of stable funding of NGOs implementing the programmes
for vulnerable groups restrains development of such programmes and cannot warrant their sustainability.
Activities on HIV/AIDS prevention in the Kyrgyz Republic are carried out on the basis of the State
programme approved by Decree #785 of the Government of the Kyrgyz Republic on 13 December 2001. This
work is performed on the basis of multi-sectoral approach at the level of ministries and agencies, government
bodies on the central and oblast levels with participation of nongovernmental and community-based
organizations representing the interests of the vulnerable populations and people living with HIV/AIDS.
Stable partnership relations are established in the country between governmental, nongovernmental and
international organizations. The national multi-sectoral committee on AIDS prevention under the Government
of the Kyrgyz Republic coordinates the AIDS programmes in the country as well as the UN Theme Group on
AIDS that united the UN system agencies, international bilateral and multilateral cooperation organizations.
With support of the UNAIDS co-sponsors (UNDP, UNFPA, WHO, UNODCCP, UNESCO, etc.)
international donor and nongovernmental organizations provided support to the efforts of the country in
formulation of the policy and shaping the capacity of the country on AIDS prevention, strengthening
multisectoral approach, improving legislation, mobilization of the civil society efforts, peer education,
targeted interventions among the representatives of vulnerable populations, training national specialists, and
conduct of information campaigns. A school programme on fostering of healthy lifestyle has been launched
and 10% of the teachers involved in this programme have been already trained. National experts on various
aspects of HIV prevention have been trained and national priorities identified. However, the national harm
reduction programmes developed in the country for injecting drug users cover only an insignificant portion of
representatives of this vulnerable group. This cannot affect further HIV spread. Besides, prevention
programmes are implemented predominantly in the capital of the country and to a smaller degree in
individual oblast centers, while the nongovernmental organizations capacity is not fully used. For successful
solution of the objectives an AIDS programmes monitoring system should be developed, second-generation
HIV/AIDS surveillance implemented, and knowledge and existing behavioral patterns among different
populations studied.
There is a system of epidemiological monitoring of HIV and STI spread in Kyrgyzstan. The main contingent
of the population subject to examination for AIDS has been identified. Conditions for confidential
examination of the population for HIV have been created in all cities and rayons, anonymous checkup rooms

opened. Hotline “trust phone” service functions in the capital and oblast centers. Specialists on HIV/AIDS
psychosocial counseling have been trained. However, appropriate structures for this service have not been
established, so such work is limited to only post-testing consulting. Absence of government funding prevents
treatment of people living with HIV and AIDS patients as well as treatment of pregnant women living with
HIV.
The national programme “Tuberculosis” with inter-sectoral approach to solve the problem was adopted in the
country. The Ministry of Health and Kyrgyz Research Institute of TB is charged with the coordinating role.
State-run health service has specialized hospitals with the total of 3,800 beds, and anti-TB rooms in the
Family Medicine Center (FMC) where more than 300 phthisiatritians work.
Medical aid to TB patients is provided free of charge at the expense of the national budget. After the DOTS
strategy recommended by WHO has been introduced NGOs and persons contacting with TB patients started
being involved in the process of TB patients’ treatment.
The National Parasitological Department (NPD), as part of the National Sanitary and Epidemiological
Service, is responsible for technical guidance, planning, monitoring and evaluation of malaria control in the
country. NPS staff is comprised of epidemiologists, parasitologists, entomologists, laboratory technicians and
administrative staff. Divisions of the Service have been also established at the regional (oblast) and district
(rayon) levels. The National Urgent Epidemic Commission is responsible for coordination of malaria control
efforts, and Urgent Epidemic Commissions also function at regional and district levels. At the regional
(oblast) level, the head of the regional center of sanitary and epidemiological services is responsible for
implementing malaria control activities in the respective area. His team includes epidemiologists,
parasitologists, entomologists and laboratory personnel. At the district (rayon) level, the head of the district
center of sanitary and epidemiological services has overall responsibility for all malaria-related activities in
the area. At regional and district levels, disease management activities related to malaria are carried out by
specialized and general health services equipped with microscope facilities, most of which are in need of
replacement with more modern ones. Various services of the Ministry of Agriculture, Water and Processing
Industry as well as utility services are also involved in this work.

Describe the major programmatic intervention gaps and funding gaps that exist in the
country’s current response to HIV/AIDS, TB and/or Malaria:
AIDS prevention activities are conducted in the country on the basis of the National Strategic Plan and State
Programme approved by the Government of the Kyrgyz Republic on December 13, 2001. The programme
budget is USD50 million but at this stage the Government can provide not more than 25% of the requirement
even if international contributions are accounted. These funds are used to support the existing establishments
included in the programme (premises, salaries), ensure safety of medical procedures and donors’ blood as
well as perform epidemiological monitoring of HIV/AIDS/STI and organize monitoring of the programmes
under implementation. At the expense of above-mentioned donors’ funds (Table 22.2), support will be
provided to the strategies of the programme on formulation of government policies, involving and training of
the civil society representatives and implementation of limited interventions for vulnerable populations in
accordance with the National P priorities.
In connection with that, the intervention in the country fail to reach the end goal, i.e. containing further spread
of HIV infection in the country. Thus, syringe exchange programmes cover not more than 5% of the
estimated number of IDUs, which precludes effective prevention of HIV transmission in the process of drug
use. The Ministry of Education and Culture allocated only 8 hours per year instead of 32 hours that were
stipulated for the programme of fostering healthy lifestyle for schoolchildren. Such programmes are not
funded at all in the system of secondary, vocational and higher education. There are no funds for training of
teachers for this subject either. Sexually transmitted infections among vulnerable groups are not treated. The
vulnerability reduction programmes for sex workers are implemented only in two cities of the country. But
even these are not provided sufficient quantity of condoms. Full examination of donors’ blood, especially in
the remote areas of the country, is not ensured. Antiretroviral therapy is not accessible for the people living
with HIV/AIDS who need it. Preventive treatment of pregnant women living with HIV/AIDS is not carried
put. Citizens of the country including representatives of vulnerable groups have no access to anonymous
voluntary testing and psychosocial counseling. An extremely complicated situation is formed in the
penitentiary institutions where HIV infection spreading, STI and TB incidence rates are tens and hundreds
times higher than among the adult population of the entire country. There is no funding at all to reduce MSM
vulnerability, which is an epidemiologically important area.
According to the National Programme “Tuberculosis” calculation, USD5,000,000 is required to implement
the measures of response to tuberculosis in the country. Only USD1,305,000 has been allocated by the
national budget. Donor agencies provided USD1,324,000 which leaves an investment gap (budget deficit) of
USD2,371,000, or 47.4%.
MALARIA
-
Shortfalls in funding the national health system including the services directly engaged in control
and prevention of malaria do not permit to solve the malaria problem in the country. According to
the National Programme “Malaria” estimates for 2003-2007, for countrywide activities on response
to malaria epidemic $4,989,900 is needed. The national budget will allocate $120,000. Donors will
provide $50,000, which will leave a funding gap (budget deficit) of $4,819,900, i.e. 96.6%.
-
At present the funds invested by the Government and WHO in malaria control are limited, and the
country needs additional external assistance to solve the problem of malaria.

24. Provide a brief summary of the component:
Kyrgyzstan is in the initial stage of development of the HIV epidemic. However, in 2001 the number of
officially registered HIV cases throughout the country grew 10.6 times and in the most impacted by this
infection Osh oblast increased 44 times. Grave concern causes the spread of HIV among injecting drug users
(IDU). The latter make 95.9 % of all HIV cases in the country and 99% of cases in Osh Oblast reported in
2001. In 2002 HIV infection continues to spread at the same rate but serious concern is caused by the increase
of heterosexual transmission of this infection. Thus, if in 2001 only 4.1% of all HIV cases were attributed to
heterosexual transmission, in 2002 it comprised already 23.1%. If experience of this epidemic development in
CIS countries is taken into account, then it can be assumed that the country entered the second stage of
epidemic when it passes from the drug users environment to the general population. This permits forecasting of
birth of children with HIV. If a high birth rate is taken into account this problem may attain a formidable
dimension for Kyrgyzstan in case targeted interventions are not made. A complicated epidemiological situation
is formed in penitentiaries where 56% of HIV detected in the country, are located; HIV prevalence is 776 per
100,000 convicts, and syphilis and tuberculosis morbidity rates exceed tens and hundreds of times these among
the population of the whole country. Despite the AIDS prevention interventions in the country the factors
facilitating HIV infection spread remain. These include the on-going growth of drug addiction and injecting
drug use, a high rate of sexually transmitted infections, maintenance of risk-bearing behavioral practices:
unsafe sex, and shared use of syringes. Unemployment and migration of population are also contributory
factors. Limited access to clean syringes and condoms does not allow achieving a sustainable behavioral
change by the programmes under implementation.
Prevention of HIV/AIDS is coordinated by the National Multisectoral Committee on AIDS prevention under
the Government of the Kyrgyz Republic. Similar structures exist in oblasts. Nongovernmental, communitybased and international organizations are involved in AIDS prevention programmes implementation.
Permanent interventions among vulnerable populations (IDU, SW, MSM, convicts and other) are carried out.
The country has accumulated its own experience in prevention programmes development that is used as a
model for other countries in the Central Asia region (interventions among SW, MSM, development of
methadone substitution treatment). The activities on HIV/AIDS are implemented in line with the UNAIDS
policy. The above-mentioned certifies that the country has capacity for further development and expansion of
HIV/AIDS prevention programmes and that this proposal is viable.
Goal: To contain the spread of HIV in the Kyrgyz Republic at the initial stage of the epidemic through
targeted interventions among the vulnerable groups and organization of support for people living with HIV
and AIDS patients.

Expected outputs:
As a result of the proposed programme activities the HIV/AIDS prevention interventions in the country
will be strengthened and expanded. HIV/AIDS related political and legal environment should be
improved. Efforts of governmental, nongovernmental, private and international organizations in AIDS
prevention will be mobilized and coordinated. Required scope of interventions among vulnerable
populations will be attained to stabilize the situation and suspend further spread of HIV infection.
HIV/AIDS prevention activities will be implemented all over the country based upon partnership of
networks of governmental, nongovernmental, community-based and international organizations.

26. Detailed description of the component for its FULL LIFE-CYCLE:
Please note: Each component should have ONE overall goal, which should translate into a series of specific
objectives. In turn each specific objective should be broken-down into a set of broad activities necessary to
achieve the specific objectives. While the activities should not be too detailed they should be sufficiently
descriptive to understand how you aim to achieve your stated objectives.
Indicators: In addition to a brief narrative, for each level of expected result tied to the goal, objectives and
activities, you will need to identify a set of indicators to measure expected result. Please refer to Guidelines
paragraph VII.77 – 79 and Annex II for illustrative country level indicators.
Baseline data: Baseline data should be given in absolute numbers (if possible) and/or percentage. If baseline
data is not available, please refer to Guidelines paragraph VII.80. Baseline data should be from the latest
year available, and the source must be specified.
Targets: Clear targets should be provided in absolute numbers (if possible) and percentage.
For each level of result, please specify data source, data collection methodologies and frequency of
collection.
An example on how to fill out the tables in questions 26 and 27 is provided as Annex III in the Guidelines for
Proposals
26.1. Goal and expected impact (Describe overall goal of component and what impact, if applicable, is
expected on the targeted populations, the burden of disease, etc.), (1–2 paragraphs):
Goal: To contain the spread of HIV in the Kyrgyz Republic at the initial stage of the epidemic through
targeted interventions among the vulnerable groups and organization of support to people living with HIV
and AIDS patients.
Kyrgyzstan is in the initial stage of development of the HIV epidemic now. Therefore, conditions have been
created in the country for effective development of preventive programmes. This concerns both political and
executive levels and is due to adequate political decisions on this issue and partnership of governmental,
nongovernmental, community-based and international organizations. Concurrently, due to the present
difficult economic situation in the country there is no possibility to expand prevention programmes to the
level required for effective containment of further epidemic spread. This factor is of crucial importance since
HIV infection spread in the country is related to injecting drug use.
As an output of the proposed programme implementation further HIV spread is to be prevented at the initial
stage of the epidemic. This will permit to create a model of response to the infection in countries with low
rates of spread. AIDS morbidity rate during this period will not exceed 0,5% and the estimated number of
HIV cases will not be more than 2% of the adult population of the country. Implementation of the programme
will also permit to ensure necessary medicines treatment for people living with HIV and AIDS cases and to
provide social support to them, which should raise social activity of these people and their involvement in
prevention programmes.

27.Objectives and expected outcomes:
Objective 1. Strengthening of political and legal support to Programs on Response to
HIV/AIDS Epidemic, based on multi-sectoral approach
This objective aims to build public environment, enabling implementation of HIV/AIDS epidemic prevention
activities. This will be undertaken through the coordination of activities of existing and mobilization of new
program participants. Currently there is Multi-Sectoral Coordinating committee on HIV/AIDS Prevention
acting at the national and regional levels. However they are represented mainly by the heads of relative
governmental stakeholders and some NGOs. Among 1000 registered in the country NGOs that are dealing
with the developmental issues only 20 NGOs are involved in activities for HIV/AIDS prevention.
Mobilization of private sector, public universities, and independent mass media in response to HIV/AIDS
epidemic is very limited. To expand and improve the coordination the conferences of governmental and
nongovernmental organization, business and mass media representatives, academic institutions are needed at
the national and regional levels and proper provision of all the participants with the necessary information.
The National Multi-Sectoral Coordinating committee, National AIDS Center and Regional Centers on
HIV/AIDS Prevention, Ministry of Justice of the KR, AIDS servicing NGOs, in particular, “Tais Plus”,
“Sotsium”, “Bely Zhuravl”, “Podruga” and “Koz Karash”, the Association of Independent Lawyers, mass
media will focus on the objective. UNDP is also going to assist in this area.

Objective 2. Reducing vulnerability of young people to HIV/AIDS
A demographic feature of Kyrgyzstan is that the total number of young people aged 15 to 29 comprises 27
percent (1.118 million) of the country’s population, which makes 51.7% of the total strength of able-bodied
population. The numerical strength of this group, its great social importance – it is this youth that will ensure
productive activity and development of the country within the next decades – and the possibility to develop
large-scale prevention programmes for young people makes this group a priority one.
A conditional group “Youth” identified based upon risk for HIV-infection is one of the priorities of the national
strategic plan and includes people in the age 11 to 25. The lower age bracket has been established in accordance
with beginning of puberty and the time of first trials of psychoactive substances (PAS) while the upper bracket by the end of the peak period of sexual activity and involvement in PAS use.
Accessibility of the group in terms of information interventions is conditioned by a high rate of exposure of
teenagers and youth to compulsory school education (99.7%) as well as by readiness of government structures
(Ministry of Education and Culture, Ministry of Defense) to develop informational preventive programmes in
the system of educational establishments. At this time, there are 1,953 secondary schools (27 of them being
private), 92 higher educational establishments as well as 165 vocational schools functioning in the country.
There are 1,100,000 schoolchildren and 122,000 undergraduate students.
Among the youth in general one can identify subgroups that differ in terms of their behavior, risk of HIV
spread, and methods of reaching them with prevention programmes:
Organized school youth – students of secondary and special schools, vocational system, and
higher educational establishments;
Working youth;
Migrants (both internal and refugees);
Youth in informal youth associations (both school and working, and unemployed);
Military personnel and staff of law-enforcement system;
Street children.
HIV vulnerability of a group is determined by the following factors:
Limited capacity to control own behavior determined both by personal and social causes (first of all by
dependence on parents);
Limited access to individual contraceptives as a consequence of the moral prejudices prevailing in the
society;
Insufficient economic and social protection including limited access to adequate venereal and
narcological medical service;
Limited access to adequate information concerning sexual health and PAS use consequences
determined by the taboo maintained in the society on free discussion of the topics of sex and drugs,
and limited quantity of information materials containing required knowledge in the form acceptable for
young people;
Insufficient legal protection;
Limited involvement of young people when programmes and activities targeting them are designed..
Specific goals of interventions include: (1) raising awareness of youth through introduction of
compulsory educational programmes on fostering healthy lifestyle (HLS), forming safe behaviour through
programmes of peer education, increase of condoms accessibility, providing access for youth to good and
friendly medical service.

Activity 1. Introduction of a compulsory course on HLS in all educational establishments and among
military servicemen
Organized school students can be easily reached with educational (school) programmes on HIV/AIDS
prevention. At present a school course “HLS” has been developed, pilot tested and is in the process of
introduction in senior forms. This course includes lessons on STI/HIV/AIDS and drug addiction prevention as
well as general issues of reproductive health protection and family planning. 15 seminars were held and about
400 teachers were trained. 2 training workshops were conducted for medical personnel and officers
responsible for educational work with army soldiers and privates of MIA.
But at present teaching “Healthy Lifestyle” (including topics on HIV/AIDS, STI and drug addiction) is not a
regular subject in the school curriculum. Such lessons are mostly conducted during out-of-school hours at
schools, vocational schools of large cities, oblast and rayon centers.
There exist a number of problems:
- The number of trained trainers (teachers) on such complicated for them specific topics as
sexual education, HIV/AIDS/STI, drug addiction remains insufficient;
- Lack of textbooks on “Healthy Lifestyle” for various age groups of students;
- Lack and shortage of visual aids (plaster casts, plane-tables, video equipment);
- Insufficient or non-existent state funding of teachers pay for teaching “Healthy Lifestyle”;
- Insufficient knowledge of issues of HIV/AIDS/STI prevention by parents.
Expected outputs:
Sufficient number of teachers trained for universal introduction of the course “Healthy Lifestyle”
(not less than 2 teachers per educational establishment);
Continuous training of students of pedagogical institutions and teachers improvement courses for
conduct of the course “Healthy Lifestyle” prepared and organized;
Each educational establishment supplied a “class-kit” of the course “Healthy Lifestyle” (the “classkit” includes 30 textbooks “Healthy Lifestyle” and a package of visual and methodological aids);
Introduction of the course “Healthy Lifestyle” in all educational establishments of the country
supported;
A national network of ngos providing consultative and methodological assistance to teachers
established.
Main executing agents: local government administrations, nongovernmental organizations providing
consultative and methodological assistance to teachers, Ministry of Education, Ministry of Labour and
Social Protection, Ministry of Health, Ministry of Defense, and Ministry of Internal Affairs.
Costs include (detailed budget in Attachment 6.2):
(1) Education of teachers and professors to teaching the course “HLS” (including military instructors).
This envisages two ways of solving the task:
(a) development and introduction of the course “HLS” teaching methods for all students of
pedagogical institutions. Implementation of this activity will permit to establish a permanent state-run
base for training teachers for the course “HLS”.
(b) on-the-job training of teachers at schools using the principle “teacher-to-teacher” or during the
teachers improvement courses (TOT).
- development of methodology – USD5,000;
- training expenses: 180 training workshops and annual conferences – USD 265,000;
- expenses for material and technical basis (physical plant) – USD50,000;
(2) Printing of “HLS” textbooks in the amount of 30 copies per educational establishment (2,200
educational establishments), total 66,000 copies. Expenses – USD264,000.
(3) Preparation and publication of a methodological package to support the educational programmes,
total 2,200 copies. Expenses – USD22,000;
(4) Support of NGOs providing consultative and technical assistance to teachers and professors to
introduce the course “HLS”. Expenses – USD90,000;
(5) Organization of training for schoolchildren living with AIDS who cannot attend classes in secondary
schools due to their health condition (according to the medical recommendations). Expenses –
USD30,000;
(6) Monitoring and evaluation of the activities, including rapid assessments, surveys, questionnaires and
invitation of foreign auditors. Expenses – USD9,000.

Activity 2. Development of “peer-to-peer” education programmes
This activity is focused directly on all youth groups, especially, young people from the most vulnerable
groups. Despite the availability of training programmes on “HLS”, it is impossible to expose “street” youth
and young people from trouble families to school programmes. According to the Minors Adaptation and
Rehabilitation Center of the MIA, the number of “street” children has reached almost 800. There are reasons
to assume that actual number of “street” children is considerably greater.
The major problems are: absence of political and legal support for poor youth as well as lack of governmental
and nongovernmental organizations that are interested and ready to take part in resolving the problem.
Young people “peer-to-peer” training was started in 1999 but for the time being it happens as one-time
actions and cannot change the situation significantly.
This makes us to actively develop the “peer” training programmes for young people. As a result of this
activity the information on ways of catching HIV/STI and methods of protection will be spreading in addition
to educational establishments also in informal environment at disco parties, in the yards, and families.
Information disseminated by peers among socially unprotected young people, refugees, street children and
teenagers will be extremely important. Development, publication and dissemination of targeted information
materials will be a good addition to the permanent work of the component and different events.
Young people from various social groups will develop the materials together with NGO specialists, and
specialists of AIDS prevention centers.
Expected results:
A national network of NGOs working with young people established;
Information materials and products with special logos developed and issued for all youth groups in
sufficient quantities;
Higher level of awareness among young people on issues of STI/HIV/AIDS and drug addiction
prevention;
Regular sensitization of youth and wide public to the problem by organizing thematic actions.
Major executing agents: local government administrations, NGOs working with young people, Ministry of
Education, Ministry of Labour and Social Protection, Ministry of Health, and Ministry of Internal Affairs.
Costs include (detailed budget in Attachment 6.2):
(1) Support of NGOs working with in-school, out-of-school, and “street” youth. This item includes
expenses for continuous training of volunteers, support of field activities including conduct of onetime actions, and bonuses to active volunteers. Total USD 180,000 (9 subcontracts per year).
(2) Development and publication of information materials and publications with special logos for
youth, 3 types/year for 7 youth groups (“street youth”, militiamen, soldiers, schoolchildren of 2 age
groups, students and refugees). Total USD200,000;
(3) Thematic actions. Total for 5 years USD15,000;
(4) Monitoring and evaluation of the activities. Total USD9,000

Activity 3. Ensuring access of youth to friendly medical service and counseling
The level of sexual activity of young people has been rising. The STI incidence among young people is high:
in 1998 there were reported 117 cases of syphilis among children and teenagers, and in 1999 – 120 cases.
Among all HIV-infected people in the country young people of the age 15 to 29 constitute 54.4%.

When solving this problem we face a number of difficulties:
- Lack of sympathetic, supportive public attitude to the problem. When discussing issues of sexual health,
or condom use children and teenagers face disapprobatory position of adults.
- Low level of social protection of young people, lack of money for professional treatment and cure. Young
people, especially from socially unprotected populations, have practically no possibility to obtain
medical aid to treat STI.
- An extremely limited network of hotline “trust phones” and psychological support service.
- Absence of youth-oriented clinics with good quality and friendly medical service. Both state-run and
private venereal rooms are not designed to provide free services to young people with various STIs. Only
Bishkek has a medical center for sex workers operating under WHO support.
- No epidemiological surveillance in the group.
Expected outputs:
A national network of clinics is established targeted at work with young people on reproductive
health;
Targeted and rational distribution of condoms among young people is organized;
Regular epidemiological surveillance is conducted in the group;
The rate of STI incidence among young people is reduced.
Major executing agents: NGOs working with youth, private clinics, and Ministry of Health.
Costs include (detailed budget in Attachment 6.2):
(1) Training of physicians to work with socially unprotected youth and on the issues of psychosocial
counseling. Total expenses for 5 years USD12,000
(2) Initial expenses to set up a network of youth clinics (rooms) including equipment, medicines,
instruments, and supplies. Total for 5 years USD93,000
(3) Development of hotline “trust phone” service network for young people and creation of a
sympathetic public opinion;
(4) Organization of free targeted (only for young people) distribution of condoms through the youth
clinics network;
(5) Epidemiological surveillance actions in the group. Expenses – 3000 (3 times: 1-st, 2-nd & 3ed years)

Activity 4. Supply of condoms to sexually active youths
Supply of condoms as humanitarian aid is mostly organized through the family planning agencies, which is
not very effective with relation to young people. Free condoms are distributed among teenagers and young
people as one-time actions in extremely small quantities.
Condoms in the market when even low-priced are inaccessible to most young people, especially to lowincome groups (school students, soldiers), socially unprotected (refugees, street teenagers).
The socially unprotected sexually active youth comprises about 20% of the total numbers of youth. Total
annual need is 9,450,000 condoms. Partially this need is met by UNFPA supply, and with the most rational
distribution of the condoms supplied through the channels of all humanitarian aid organizations not more than
half of the need would be covered. The main problem is in the absence of a system of institutions, clinics or
NGOs dealing in targeted condom distribution among youth. Most of the currently distributed free condoms
do not reach youth.
Expected outcomes:
All low-income youth supplied with a sufficient quantity of condoms;
A system of targeted rational distribution of condoms among young people organized;
STI morbidity rate among young people reduced.
Main executing agents: NGOs working with youth, private clinics, Ministry of Health, and Ministry of
Defense.
Costs include (detailed budget in Attachment 6.2):
Expenses for procurement of condoms (9,450,000 pcs per year over 5 years) - USD2,350,000

Reduction of IDU vulnerability to HIV/AIDS is one of the three priority areas of the National Strategic Plan
and State Programme of the Kyrgyz Republic approved by the Government of the Republic on 13 December
2001. Harm reduction programmes gained political and social support. Since 1999, targeted prevention
interventions among IDU have been organized in the Republic. Since 2000, syringe exchange programmes
have been implemented, and since 2002 two pilot projects of methadone substitution treatment (MST) for
IDU in Bishkek and Osh have been launched. On the whole five syringe exchange projects for IDU are being
implemented in the capital and two oblasts, the number of permanent clients is more than 2000 with syringe
return rate of 95%. Interventions based on the principle of peer education and information support of the ongoing programmes are conducted. At the same time the syringe exchange programmes cover only 4% of the
estimated number of IDUs and the MST programmes only 2% of the reported IDU, which cannot actually
impact on HIV infection spread.
The proposed expansion of the syringe exchange and MST programmes will permit to exert real influence on
containing further spread of HIV among IDU and provide opportunity to carry out epidemiological
monitoring of HIV infection spread in this group including the use of sentinel surveillance.
Goal: To contain the spread of HIV/AIDS among IDU through fostering a safer behavior and development
of harm reduction programmes.

Reducing vulnerability of injecting drug users to HIV/AIDS

Activity 1. Development of syringe and needle exchange programmes
The on-going drug abuse growth, risk-bearing behavioral practices are serious factors of HIV infection spread
in the country. There are five on-going syringe exchange prevention programmes for IDU but they cover only
4% of the estimated number of IDU in the target group, which cannot produce a desired effect on
constraining further epidemic development. Sharing syringes, needles and/or containers for preparation of
drug solutions, insufficient knowledge of safe behavior when using drugs facilitate rapid spread of HIV
among drug addicts. More than 60% of drug addicts do not work and have no funds of their own to buy
sterile syringes and needles.
This activity involves the following actions:
Distribution of sterile instruments for injections (syringes and needles) and disinfectants;
Removal of used syringes from circulation and their safe destruction;
Establishing new syringe exchange programmes in all areas of the republic, expansion of the
existing ones.
Distribution of condoms among the programme participants;
Monitoring and evaluation.
These actions will be implemented in stationary syringe exchange points, mobile stations and through street
work of volunteers (former drug users or co-dependent persons), which will provide access to sterile
instruments for IDU.
Executing agents: nongovernmental organizations, narcological centers and AIDS prevention centers, former
drug users, co-dependent people.
Expected outputs:
Increased access to sterile instruments from 4% to 60% of the estimated number of IPU over 5
years.
Increased number of IDU who constantly use clean instruments from 60 to 90% of the
programme participants.
Increased number of IDU who use condoms from 5 to 40%.
By 2007 the estimated number of people living with HIV limited to not more than 20% of the
estimated number of IDU.

Activity 2. Development of methadone substitution treatment programmes
Substitution therapy is an effective means of HIV/AIDS prevention among IDU especially among people
with HIV/AIDS, hepatitis, tuberculosis and other diseases. There are two pilot projects on methadone
substitution treatment programme functioning in the country since 2002. These interventions gained political
support, specialists for their implementation were trained, and permission was granted for imports and
certification of methadone. The outputs prove effectiveness and viability of these programmes. Development
of MST will permit not only to ensure reliable prevention of HIV/AIDS transmission but also improve social
functioning of the MST participants.
This activity envisages the following actions:
Receiving, procurement of methadone, its safe storage to prevent its leakage into illicit traffic;
Provision of methadone treatment to MST participants;
Distribution of condoms among the programme participants;
Establishing new MST in all regions of the republic;
Establishing and training of interdisciplinary teams for methadone programmes (physicians,
psychologists, social workers, lawyers);
Support in social rehabilitation and reintegration;
Monitoring and evaluation of the methadone programmes.
Expected outputs:
- Reduction of the number of IDU by 3000 persons over five years owing to transfer of the MMTP
participants to non-injecting drug use;
- Reduction of the number of illegal drug users by 3000 over five years;
- Reduction of IDU vulnerability to HIV/AIDS;
- Improved social functioning of the MST participants;
- Increased coverage by the MST from 0.2 to 5% of the estimated number of injecting drug users.
Executing agents: Narcological centers, academic institutions, religious confessions, NGOs, drug-dependent
and co-dependent people, State Commission on Drug Control, city rayon administrations, oblast and rayon
central hospitals.
The costs include (detailed budget in Attachment 6.3):
Procurement of methadone hydrochloride and accompanying materials (reagents, batchers, disposable
cups, etc.);
Payment of the MST workers;
Administrative expenses related to provision of safe storage and delivery of methadone;
Training the programme workers;
Monitoring and evaluation of the MST.

Activity 3. Development of information, education and communication programmes
There is an acute shortage of information materials on prevention of HIV/AIDS transmission through
injecting drug use in the Kyrgyz Republic. Lack of information materials and a holistic strategy on
information-education work among IDU makes the information-education interventions sporadic, local and
with low effect.
Increase in the number of harm reduction programmes requires coordination of efforts of the participants of
the prevention process, however, lack of modern means of communication at present hinders successful
achievement of the objective to reduce IDU vulnerability to HIV/AIDS. Preservation of this situation may
aggravate it and reduce the effectiveness of prevention interventions.
It is envisaged within the framework of this activity to carry out the following actions:
Training of trainers for development of peer education programmes for specialists, volunteers
and IDUs;
Including the issues of HIV prevention among IDUs and of harm reduction programmes in
various specialists training and retraining programmes (physicians, social workers, teachers, law
and order officers);
Development of training programmes and modules for different specialists and for peer
education trainers;
Development, publication and distribution of information materials (printed, radio and TV);
Establishing educational and training centers on harm reduction in two regions of the country
where more than 80% IDUs live;
Establishing a National Harm Reduction Network;
Conduct of national and regional conferences;
Participation in international conferences.
Expected outputs:
- Not less than 68% of IDUs will be involved in the “peer-to-peer” training programmes;
- Complete coverage of the programme participants with information materials on HIV/AIDS
prevention will be achieved;
- A national network of harm reduction programmes for IDU will be established and effective
interaction between them ensured;
2 regional training centers will be established to implement information and education
programmes among IDU and harm reduction specialists;
- Annual national and regional working review meetings on programme outputs will be organized
with participation of governmental, nongovernmental organizations and representatives of the
target groups.
Executing agents: Narcological centers, public health service centers, AIDS prevention centers, academic
institutions, religious confessions, NGOs, drug-dependent and co-dependent people.
Costs of this activity include (detailed budget in Attachment 6.3):
Preparation and publication of information materials (printed, radio and TV);
Preparation of training programmes and modules (payment to national experts, members of
working and focus groups, rent of premises, coffee-break, lunch for participants of working
meetings, stationary, multiplication of materials, traveling expenses, sundries);
Expenses for conduct of seminars and conferences;
Procurement of office equipment for training and resource centers (computers, projectors,
whiteboards, copying machines, hard and soft inventory, etc.);
Expenses for telecommunications.

Activity 4. Medical service and support of IDU
A very high incidence rate of virus hepatitis, venereal and other diseases is observed among IDU and most of
them have chronically infected green wounds and sores requiring surgical interference. But access to medical
aid is difficult for most IDUs because of their material problems and disapprobative attitude of the society.
Application Form for Proposals to the Global Fund
Page 44 of 111
44
Difficult access to medical aid causes a need in establishing “friendly clinics” where IDU could get necessary
medical assistance and support. Participation of IDU in training programmes facilitating attitude change leads
to the need of undergoing voluntary confidential testing for HIV and psychosocial counseling, As of today
such service remains practically inaccessible to IDU.
The following actions are envisaged in the framework of this activity:
Making contracts with state-run and private health facilities for medical service of the
participants of syringe exchange and MST programmes, i.e. establishing “friendly clinics” for
IDU;
Establishing new and support to the existing self-help (mutual help) groups for IDU;
Training specialists and creation of conditions for voluntary confidential HIV testing and
psychosocial counseling.
Expected outputs:
- all participants of the harm reduction programmes obtained access to medical service and
psychosocial counseling in friendly clinics;
the number of state-run and nongovernmental health establishments, so-called “friendly clinics”
will reach 20 over five years (from only one at present);
- the number of self-help (mutual help) groups for IDU will reach 20 (from present 5).
Executing agents: Narcological centers, dermato-venereological dispensaries, AIDS prevention centers,
academic institutions, religious confessions, NGOs.
Costs (detailed budget in Attachment 6.3):
- expenses for treatment in “friendly clinics”;
- expenses for support of self-help groups;
- establishing the system and training of specialists on HIV counseling;
- training physicians of friendly clinics.

Objective 3.2. Reducing vulnerability of sex workers and their clients
24. Provide a brief summary of the component (Specify the rationale, goal, objectives, activities, expected
results, how these activities will be implemented and partners involved) (2–3 paragraphs):
Targeted programmes to prevent HIV/AIDS among SW have been developed in the country since 1997.
Currently there are two such programmes implemented on a sustainable basis in the largest cities of the country
– Bishkek and Osh. They are implemented by nongovernmental organizations and based on the peer education
principle. The programmes distribute condoms and form a positive attitude to their use and also provide free
anonymous medical service to sex workers. In the third largest city of the country – Jalal-Abad – information
programmes for sex workers have been initiated. These programmes are financed sparsely and cannot expand to
other cities to increase the coverage of the group and improve their approaches. Insufficient funding makes
further development of the programmes for sex workers impossible.
Goal of interventions: Containing the spread of HIV infection among sex workers and their clients in the
Kyrgyz Republic through development of prevention programmes.
Specific goals of interventions include: (1) increasing coverage of SW and their clients through initiation of
new country-wide programmes and regional programmes in six regions of the country as well as through
development of the existing groups subject to interventions; (2) raising awareness of sex workers and their
clients on issues of preventing HIV/AIDS contagion and safe behaviour; (3) provision of access for sex
workers to good medical service including anonymous consultations and HIV testing; (4) provision of access
to condoms; (5) establishing a national network of NGOs and government structures providing for
development of prevention programmes among sex workers and their clients.

Activity 1. Evaluation and monitoring of the situation, development of programmes and establishing in
the regions and training of initiative groups to provide for interventions among SW and their clients
At present ongoing HIV/AIDS/STI prevention programmes exist and continue to develop and expand in a
sustainable way only in two largest cities of the country. The correlation of SW exposed to these prevention
programmes (directly or indirectly, of the total estimated number) does not exceed 60 % of the total estimated
number of the group. These programmes cannot be expanded to other regions due to insufficient funding.
This activity includes mobilization of local executors through setting up groups comprising sex workers
themselves, representatives of government and (depending on the local situation) nongovernmental
organizations. These groups will assume responsibility for development of prevention programmes among
sex workers and their clients in the regions.
Expected outputs:
Baseline assessment of the situation in the area of sex work preformed in four regions of the country
In six regions of the country annual monitoring of the situation is carried out within the framework
of behavioral epidemiological surveillance
Initiative groups in six regions of the country established and manned by trained personnel to
provide for development of prevention programmes among sex workers and their clients including
also venereologist doctors trained in the principles of relations with sex workers
Programmes for sex workers and their clients prepared and developed in six regions.
Costs include (detailed budget in Attachment 6.4):
Expenses for administrative and technical support, conduct of regional training seminars (one new region a
year), training at workplace and retraining of specialist on the basis of interventions existing in the country
(eight persons a year) as well as on the basis of successful foreign interventions (total three persons over the
entire period), expenses for baseline study of the situation in a new region including identification of key
partners (one new region per year), procurement of minimally required office equipment, software and
supplies, payment for technical assistance of an international consultant and translations.

Activity 2. Training of trainers, sex workers and their clients on the basis of “pear-to-pear” approach
The country has considerable experience in organization of sex workers training on the basis of “peer-topeer” approach. The programmes of such training are limited, however, to two largest cities of the country.
This activity is focused on forming a safer behavior of sex workers through development and expansion of
peer-to-peer education. The training programme will include issues of safe sex and safe behavior including
the use of condom, harm reduction in drug use, as well as legal protection and relations with the surrounding
to create the environment for safe sex. Trained sex workers will be involved in their client training during
their work.
Expected results:
Sex workers and their clients informed on the main issues related to anti-HIV/AIDS protection. Not
less than 90% of sex workers know two ways of anti-HIV protection.
Sex workers and their clients formed skills of safer behavior including the use of condom. Not less
than 80% of the working sexual contacts take place with the use of condom.
Costs include (detailed budget in Attachment 6.4):
Expenses for continuous volunteers and peer-educators training in workshops conducted every week
(including training on issues of HIV/AIDS prevention and development of practical communication skills),
for primary education of the newly recruited sex workers, publication of information materials, payment of
individual and group consultations of invited specialists (gynecologists and other adjacent specialists, and a
lawyer), field-work support expenses, including payment for one-time actions, bonuses to active volunteers,
purchase of a car (in the capital) and transportation expenses (in the regions), provision of mobile
communications for working groups.

Activity 3. Establishing new and support of the existing friendly dermatological and venereal clinics
A friendly clinic is functioning in the capital providing access of sex workers to free good anonymous
dermatological and venereal service. In one larger city a reference system has been established and functions
successfully to refer sex workers to friendly doctors of the existing state-owned clinics. This is an effective
system but it does not cover the needs of a significant number of sex workers of the country. In fact, the work
in this area will be done on the basis of existing dermatological and venereal departments and rooms,
however, at present most of them lack elementary conditions and minimal medical equipment. This activity
will permit to expand an effective model of providing sex workers with access to good anonymous venereal
services into six regions. The doctors of the clinics will also be involved in information activities such as
training the sex workers who visit the doctor in proper use of condom and psycho-sociological consulting
during voluntary HIV testing, which will provide support to activity 2.
Expected outputs:
70% of all sex workers having free access to good anonymous free venereal service including access
to required drugs and materials
Access of sex workers to voluntary anonymous counseling and HIV testing, with 90% of all sex
workers who addressed friendly venereal clinics for the first time getting psycho-social consultations
by the end of the Programme
An institutionalized system of unlinked epidemiological screening for HIV among sex workers in six
oblasts
Costs include (detailed budget in Attachment 6.4):
Additional pay for extra working hours to doctors, consulting psychologists and other medical personnel,
initial expenses for establishing the clinics including preparation of the premises, procurement in case of need
of simple medical equipment, instruments, drugs and supplies.

Activity 4. Procurement and provision of access to good quality condoms
In large cities condoms are physically accessible to sex-workers and their clients. In other regions physical
accessibility of condoms at the time and place where they are especially needed is limited. This activity will
ensure access to condoms for sex workers and their clients in the regions and also will give access to female
condoms for street sex workers of the capital. It is envisaged to supply only the most vulnerable groups of sex
workers (not more than 60% of the total estimated number of the group), whereby not less than 30% of all the
condoms will be distributed through the condom social marketing programme. This activity will also create
conditions for forming the skills of systematic condom use by sex workers.
Expected outcomes:
Physical access to condoms is ensured in six regions of the country through existing regional
programmes
The rate of condom use during sexual contacts of sex workers and their clients will be increased.
70% of all working sexual contacts happen with condom
Costs include (detailed budget in Attachment 6.4):
Expenses for procurement of male condoms (based on calculation of 2 sexual contacts a day per one sex
worker, for low paid sex workers in 50% of the estimated number of the group, taking into account also 30%
of condoms through the social marketing programme), and female condoms (proceeding from calculation of 1
condom per week for 900 street SW in Bishkek). Setting up the condom distribution system, supply of
respective information materials and consultations on protected sex issues will be ensured on account of
activity 2.

Activity 5. Establishing a national network of organizations developing prevention programmes among
SW and clients
There are two well-developed HIV/AIDS prevention programmes operating among sex workers in two
largest cities of the country. Baseline estimate was made and initial contacts with sex workers and potential
executors of similar programmes in two more cities established. The organizations assuming responsibility
for development of prevention programmes in this area need information sharing. This activity will ensure
coordination of the country programme while individual executors will keep their independence.
Expected outputs:
Association of AIDS servicing NGOs for sex workers and other associated groups (IDU, MSM etc.)
established
Conditions created for information sharing among local executors of interventions including that
through conduct of annual national conferences
Conditions created for the country joining the existing regional networks of Projects.
Costs include (detailed budget in Attachment 6.4):
Expenses for E-mail communications between projects and for conduct of national conferences and

Objective 3.3 Reducing vulnerability of prison inmates
Alongside with HIV, the tuberculosis status in prisons is complicated, too. As of today, more than 2,500 TB
patients are found in penitentiaries, which mean that it exceeds 10,000 cases per 100,000 convicts, 84% of
them with resistant forms of tuberculosis. From among people held in penitentiaries and corrections 10
people living with HIV/AIDS (7.5%) have tuberculosis. All people with HIV in these establishments obtain
no antiretroviral therapy and preventive treatment for opportunistic infections.
Kyrgyzstan has its own experience of AIDS prevention programmes implementation in the Main Directorate
for Execution of Punishments (MDEP) facilities. Political support has been obtained from MDEP leadership;
specialists as well as volunteers from among convicts are trained. Targeted information materials prepared by
a convict have been published. Transfer of MDEP in 2002 to the Ministry of Justice of the Kyrgyz Republic
will facilitate adherence to law and human rights in the penitentiary system establishments of the country and
implementation of AIDS programmes.
Still, limited budget funding (in 2001 only 20% of the MDEP financial requirements had been met) does not
permit to continue the activity started earlier and to provide the required rate of interventions among the
convicts. At present prevention programmes cover not more that 20% of the MDEP convicts.
Goal: Containment of HIV infection in corrections and penitentiaries through strengthening information and
education programmes, peer education, and increased access to clean instruments, condoms and disinfectants.
The proposed project envisages coverage with prevention and rehabilitation programmes of all correction
facilities of the republic and not less than 95% of the people held in confinements at the time of
implementation of the project.
The major output of the project will be formulation of MDEP policy on HIV/AIDS prevention in the
penitentiary system facilities. As a result of this project, a strategy for organization of the programme will be
developed and support groups from the number of convicts established. The existing structure capacity in
MDEP network will be strengthened through personnel training and formation of its own system of
management and reporting in compliance with the State Programme on AIDS Prevention. Targeted
information materials will be developed and published. In the course of the project, cooperation of
governmental, nongovernmental and international organizations will be established. Access to medical
service for treatment of HIV/AIDS/STI, opportunistic infections, and access to voluntary confidential HIV
testing and psychosocial counseling will be provided. After completion of the project, the mechanisms of
prevention work will be utilized by the trained national specialists in accordance with the methodological
guidelines on organization of this work and orders of the Ministry of Justice governing this activity. The
project personnel will be seeking to mobilize additional financial resources to continue with implementation
of the existing project or expansion of kinds of activity.

Activity 1. Formulation of policies in MDEP of Ministry of Justice of the Kyrgyz Republic to
implement State Programme on AIDS prevention
Since 1998, HIV/AIDS prevention programmes have been implemented in MDEP facilities of the Ministry
of Justice of the Kyrgyz Republic. There is experience of implementation of such programmes, support from
prison administrations, and trained specialists. However, limited financial resources could not allow covering
more than 20% of convicts with such programmes. For the time being a single strategy of MDEP on
development of HIV/AIDS prevention programmes has not been evolved; AIDS prevention programmes are
implemented only in two establishments and based on enthusiasm of their executing agents. In this
connection technical assistance is needed to formulate MDEP policy on various aspects of HIV/AIDS
prevention policy and strengthening the penitentiary establishments to implement State Programme on AIDS
prevention.
The proposed project envisages establishment of a working group from representatives of the Ministry of
Justice, MDEP, AIDS prevention centers, and nongovernmental organizations to develop the strategy and
mechanisms for its implementation in the MDEP establishments. The formulated strategy will be discussed at
a conference with participation of all stakeholders and approved in due order by the leadership of the Ministry
of Justice. Leaders and main executing agents from each MDEP establishment will be trained as trainers for
further independent implementation of the activities within the framework of the approved strategy of AIDS
prevention and coordination of work in the correction establishments on HIV/AIDS/STI prevention. As
outputs of their work will be adopted resolutions, orders, instructions. This project stipulates coverage of 11
correction facilities, prevention work, and conduct of seminars among decision-makers, operatives, and
medical personnel, volunteer training, training in psychosocial counseling methods.
Costs (detailed budget in Attachment 6.5) :
- Payment to national experts (2 experts x 2 times x $500), and members of the working group on
strategy development (10 persons x 10 days x $20);
- Round table workshop (twice a year) at $3,000;
- Training of trainers (25 from 11 correction facilities once a year at $2,500);
- Development of departmental instructions $2,000;

Activity 2. Development of information and education programmes
Despite the high level of HIV prevalence among convicts risky forms of behavior still persist among them.
Limited budget forbids prevention programmes development among convicts. Convicts are highly susceptible
to HIV/AIDS because of their confinement in closed rooms. Still this group is accessible. As a result of such
activities all convicts will be informed of HIV/AIDS transmission ways and methods of protection. A “peerto-peer” education programme will be introduced; information materials (booklets, brochures, posters) will be
developed and published. A great role in these activities is attached to NGOs and to procurement of office
equipment for development of information materials.
Costs (detailed budget in Attachment 6.5):
- volunteer training $5,000
- publication of information materials 5 titles per year 3,000 copies each - $1,500

Activity 3. Development of harm reduction programmes for IDU
Since there are no effective methods for treatment of HIV and drug addiction today the only way is
prevention. The existing attitude to a drug addict as a criminal creates obstacles to implementation of
education programmes and development of safe forms of behavior. The main output will be established and
finalized practices for prevention programmes implementation to reduce harm for IDUs.

Activity 4. Medical aspects
The expected output will be establishment of a system of voluntary anonymous testing and psychosocial
counseling. To have high quality testing each facility needs a specialized room and involvement of
psychologists.
There is a need in support for PLHA among convicts. NGOs can become the main executing agent for this
activity. PLHA are supposed to be involved, too. As a result, a system of social support will be established for
adaptation of the people living with HIV/AIDS.
The activities include provision of dermatological venereal services, psychosocial consulting, anonymous
testing, and setting up support groups.
Costs (detailed budget in Attachment 6.5):
- Procurement of test-kits - $4,000
- Psychosocial consulting - $3,000
- Equipping the rooms, conduct of training workshops, procurement of learning aids
- Payment to resource persons, consultants, and psychologists - $10,000

Objective 3.4. Reducing vulnerability of MSM
There have been interventions among MSM in Kyrgyzstan since 1995. During 1997-1999 Social Fund
“OASIS” made them with support of international organizations WHO, UNDP and AIDS. Since 1999, NGO
“OASIS” has been implementing preventive programmes on its own account without any external financial
assistance. Of course, lack of sustainable funding affected the performance of the programmes under
implementation. Absence of officially reported HIV cases among MSM generates an atmosphere of
complacency and negation. But unsafe sexual practices among MSM persist and the number of IDU is
increasing in this group.
The interventions will include implementation of preventive programmes among MSM to asses the needs,
develop IOC, and increase access to venereal service and condoms.
Goal: To strengthen and expand the existing HIV/AIDS prevention programmes among MSM to form a safer
behavior.

Activity 1. Development of information and education programmes
Effective information and education programmes make significant impact on containing HIV/AIDS infection
among MSM. The country has experience in implementation of such programmes, however, interventions in
this area have not resulted in forming a sustainably safe behaviour because of their limited nature.
Expected output: Knowledge of HIV/AIDS among MSM will be raised from 30% to 90% of the total number
of MSM covered; 180 volunteer trainers will be trained to extend the IOC programme to 6 regions of the
country, increase in the rate of condom use in sexual contacts.
It is envisaged within the framework of the first activity to develop and disseminate IOC materials, train
trainers and conduct educational seminars on HIV/AIDS/STI, safe sexual behaviour, use of means of
protection, to provide counseling assistance to MSM through anonymous telephone service.
Costs of this activity implementation will make USD 68,500, including (Attachment 6.6): USD 27,000 for
development and printing of IOC materials (6 issues a year 3,000 copies each); USD 20,000 for training of
trainers on IOC (2 seminars/year with 20 participants each); USD 9,000 for training of volunteers and leaders
of regional programmes (6 regions – I seminar a year); USD 18,500 for training 6 key leaders on HIV/AIDS
abroad (5 in CIS countries at USD2,000 each, and 1 in the Netherlands at USD2,500).

Activity 2. Doing research
At present there are no assessments of the situation in the country and estimation of the needs of MSM or
HIV/AIDS situation in this group as information on concealed MSM group. Rapid assessment performed in
1997 is largely outdated now since the situation has changed. Lack of behavioral surveys prevents
development of interventions strategy among MSM in the country and hinders planning, forecasting and
implementation of AIDS prevention programmes.
The research on HIV/AIDS/STI will produce quantitative and qualitative estimates required for the
development of interventions strategy among MSM and monitoring prevention programmes among MSM.
Sentry epidemiological surveillance including sero-surveillance and behavioral studies will furnish data on
HIV/AIDS spread and risk-bearing behavioral practices among MSM. Recommendations will be made on the
basis of this information to raise the effectiveness of HIV/AIDS prevention among MSM and structural
characteristics of the MSM group identified.
Costs (Attachment 6.6): USD 5,500 for sentinel epidemiological surveillance (USD1,100 per year);
USD1,400 for sentinel sero-surveillance (USD280 per year); USD2,500 for studies in the concealed MSM
groups (USD500 per year). USD1,850 is to be allocated for procurement of office and service equipment
required for efficient conduct of research. An international expert is to be recruited to evaluate the programme
performance within the framework of this activity with a total allocation of USD6,000 (USD3,000 for the first
and the last year of the programme).

Activity 3. Setting up a network of AIDS servicing programmes for MSM and their extension into the
regions
At present interventions among MSM are carried out only in the capital of the republic with coverage of the
adjacent rayons of Chui Oblast. Expansion of MSM coverage will require establishing a network of AIDS
service programmes for MSM and their extension to the regions. A single methodological approach to the
development of interventions should be ensured as well as sharing the experience of existing interventions
and samples of information materials with the regional working groups.
Implementation of this activity will permit to expand the MSM group to be covered. The output will be
working groups established and trained to ensure sustainable interventions.
Extension of AIDS service programmes to the regions should be made on account of involvement of leaders
and volunteers from among MSM in the areas with high rates of HIV/AIDS. Other methods of this activity
implementation will include establishing HIV-infected MSM support groups. Central coordinating role in
such groups will be played by SF “OASIS” representatives who were exposed to respective training.
Besides, it is planned to use the existing service and establishment and expansion of new telephone
consultation services in the framework of which general consultants (including legal, psychological, medical
etc.) who were exposed to training will provide emergency and general consultative support to MSM. The
major costs (Attachment 6.6) incurred in this activity will be linked to support of the existing HIV/AIDS
prevention programme and establishing (expansion) of the regional AIDS service programmes for MSM.

Activity 4. Provision of medical service
At present MSM have no access to good dermatological and venereal service. The existing paid services are
too expensive for low-income MSM especially those who come from the rural areas and small towns and
have no permanent jobs or other sources of income. State dermatological and venereal service is of low
quality and does not ensure sufficient confidentiality, which is the main hindrance for MSM requiring
medical aid.
In the course of this activity MSM (first of all MSM-SW) will get access to voluntary anonymous treatment
of STI in friendly clinics as well as psycho-social counseling and first medical aid in emergency situations.
The costs (Attachment 6.6) will be distributed as follows: USD11,400 allocated for direct treatment of STI,
and USD10,000 for development of the crisis center.

Activity 5. Supply of condoms
The need in distributing condoms within this programme arises out of a high degree of risk during sexual
intercourse between MSM. The reasons for high HIV/AIDS incidence risks among MSM are identified by the
SF “OASIS” research as follows:
1) A high level of unprotected sexual contacts among MSM
2) Lack of practice of systematic use of condoms
3) Impossibility to buy special condoms because of their absence on the market
Implementation of this activity will reduce the number of unprotected sexual contacts among MSM, increase
the rate of condom use and facilitate MSM’s independent purchase of condoms. Besides, distribution of
condoms will prove the advantages of their use during sexual intercourse between MSM.

Objective 4. Ensuring safety of donors’ blood
Blood safety is a prerogative of the state. Despite the complicated economic situation, allocations are made in
the national and local budgets for donor blood examination for HIV and other infections. This is very
important because Kyrgyzstan belongs to the endemic zone for viral hepatitis that is similar in transmission to
HIV. Over the last years it is noted that there is a substantive increase in syphilis morbidity rate, drug
addiction, and reported number of cases of HIV, malaria, and tuberculosis. All this increases the proportion of
people with interdiction to blood donorship. However, many people with high-risk behaviour donate their
blood to obtain some money. This causes grave concern among specialists because it is impossible to ensure
blood safety only on the basis of HIV screening examinations. Besides, at regional levels there happen cases
of blood transfusion that was not examined for HIV by clinical indications. 95.7% of total blood was
examined for HIV in the country in 2001 although this figure may be lower because of retrospective (after
transfusion) examination of donor blood. In this connection there is an acute need of a strategy for free blood
donation and development of new approaches to blood testing all over the country and especially at the
regional level. There is no doubt that establishing an integrated electronic system of monitoring blood safety
should raise the effectiveness of this work.

Activity 1. Development of state strategy for free blood donorship in the Kyrgyz Republic
According to statistics, in average 20-25 thousand donors donate their blood annually for production of blood
components and preparations. On average 10% of them are paid donors donating their plasma for blood
preparations, and 90% are free blood donors. Free blood donors are relatives who donate their blood for their
next-of-kin, friends and acquaintances who are inpatients of hospitals. However, polling showed that 60% of
donors donate their blood being paid by the inpatients’ relatives. Purely free donorship comprises only 3040%. Earlier, specially trained activists of the Red Cross and Red Crescent Society numbering more than 400
were engaged in promotion of free donorship. At present there is no funding for this activity either on the part
of government or other organizations. To solve this problem it is necessary:
- To develop a State Strategy for Involvement of Population in Free Blood Donorship;
- To develop information and education materials on safe donorship, on issues of AIDS in blood
donorship, prevention measures, indications and contra-indications for blood donations, etc.;
- To establish volunteer groups to engage in mobilization of free blood donors.
It is planned to establish in each oblast and Bishkek-city a group of volunteers each of 3 members who will
promote free blood donorship using propaganda and methodological materials. 24 volunteers are planned to
be involved in the country on the whole.
Expected outcome: Increase in the number of free blood donors; higher responsibility of the donors for their
blood safety; improved quality of donors; changed behavior of the potential donors in terms of conscientious
choice of safer behaviour with regard to HIV/AIDS; reduced number of cases of blood transfusion.
Costs will include (Attachment 6.7): Development of State strategy, preparation and dissemination of
information materials, recruitment of volunteers, their training and actions for free blood donorship.

Activity 2. Development of new approaches to examination of donor blood for HIV in remote rural
areas
Donor blood safety control system has been established in the Kyrgyz Republic. There are specialized
facilities (National and regional blood transfusion centers) and respective units at district (rayon) level
(transfusiology units) as well as HIV/AIDS testing laboratories. However, unsatisfactory funding leads to
failures of blood examination for AIDS. On the whole 95.2% of blood donors were examined for HIV in
2001. That means that at least 1,341 persons had blood transfusion without checking it for HIV, i.e. these
people were exposed to danger of getting HIV infection in medical facilities. Furthermore, there were cases of
retrospective (after blood transfusion to patients on life indications) examination for HIV. In conditions of
HIV infection spread this may result in in-hospital contamination of patients with HIV11.
The main reason, on the one hand, is in insufficient funding and, on the other hand, in absence of HIV blood
testing strategy at local levels. Remote sparsely populated areas perform few investigations for HIV. Existing
investigation techniques permit performing such tests with not less than 12 samples submitted for test so lowcapacity labs carry out such investigations once in 7-10 days. If immediate blood transfusion is required for
life indications, in individual cases transfusion is made without HIV examination of blood. There are
practically no blood banks and reserve donors in such areas, and delivery of blood from the oblast center or
capital cannot be done. That is why direct transfusion of blood is made in many regions and donor blood is
examined retrospectively (after transfusion).
To solve these problems it is necessary:
- To assess the situation on blood examination at local levels.
- To develop a strategy for examination of donor blood.
- To develop methodological guidelines on donor blood examination.
- To train the specialists responsible for donor blood examination.

-
To procure required test-kits of different kinds and different manufacturers for investigations and
development of methodology guidelines.
To perform monitoring including reference-investigation with the use of high-quality test-kits to
improve local situation.
Expected output: Development of strategy for ensuring donor blood safety. Examination of each blood
donation before transfusion. Improved quality of blood testing due to better testing kits, introduction of up-todate techniques, training of specialists and quality control.
The Global Fund resources will cover only part of the amount needed for HIV testing of blood (not more than
50% of the requirement, the other half of investigations will be provided for by government). Costs include:
Situation assessment, procurement of various types of diagnostic kits for HIV investigation to carry out
examinations and finalize the strategy locally; quality control of investigations with the use of both routine
and high-quality test-kits; quality control of work of physician’s lab assistants with the use of positive and
negative sera control panels (Attachment 6.7).
To conduct donor blood examination for AIDS total 108 kits are needed a year with 192 examinations each
100 stripped (12 to 96 examinations each). The requirement of the country is USD 130675 only for the cost
of diagnostic kit (108 kits with 192 examinations each at USD107 and 100 sets with 92 examinations each at
USD70; 10,000 express tests USD1 per each) if the cost of test systems made in Russia is taken into account.
The sera control panels and test systems for the reference researches of high class will be procured.

Activity 3. Establishing an integrated computer network for continuous monitoring of donors blood
safety
Kyrgyzstan is the endemic zone for virus hepatitis B and C. Therefore blood rejects for that reason are very
high and reach 15% of the total volume of blood taken. This increases substantially the expenses for setting
up a blood bank because of additional costs of blood taking, reagents, investigations and destruction of blood
rejects. The blood transfusion facilities in Bishkek including the National Blood Transfusion Center, blood
transfusion units of large multi-discipline hospitals are united in a single computer network of monitoring
blood safety. A programme for establishing a data bank and safety monitoring has been developed in the
country. Estimated costs include procurement of computers for all blood transfusion facilities and units,
auxiliary services as well as development of the software connection programme for the facilities and their
access to Internet.
Costs:
There are 2 oblast blood transfusion centers and 60 transfusion units in the country. To build an integrated
network 48 computers, 8 laser printers, and 2 servers are needed. Total cost of computers USD 40560. Cost
of one printer USD 285. Cost of one server is USD 2,000.
Expected output: Donor blood testing monitoring. Higher safety of donor blood. Exclusion of a possibility to
have reject blood in the stored donor blood.

Neither of them obtained antiviral treatment. This objective is aimed at protection and mobilization of the
people who bear the immediate burden of the disease and know from their own experience the real needs of
the HIV-infected people. To extend the expectancy of these patients and to improve the quality of their life
antiretroviral therapy is needed. At the same time the complicated economic situation in the country does not
allow provision of the treatment required for PLHA. A component part of the activities to support to PLHA
will be provision of an access to tri-therapy. Participation of PLHA and PAHA in response to HIV/AIDS will
be encouraged by these activities. Their participation will include promotion of prevention among vulnerable
groups, actions to raise awareness of government, governmental organizations and various societal structures
on social priorities of the people living with HIV including those of support, care and safeguarding their
inalienable civil rights, opposition to stigmatization, segregation and discrimination.
Organizations of the people living with HIV will be directly engaged in the implementation of this objective
together with nongovernmental organizations working with vulnerable groups and independent researchers,
independent lawyers and human rights watch organizations that are involved in AIDS prevention
programmes. National and regional AIDS prevention and control centers will provide medical support to
PLHA.

Activity 1. Sociological surveys of priority needs of the people living with HIV/AIDS
Most of the people living with HIV/AIDS in Kyrgyzstan belong to socially and legally vulnerable groups of
the population and need corresponding support and protection. It is necessary to identify priority needs of
these people for planning and proper provision of support they require. An expatriate international expert
recruited from among the people living with HIV should be invited for this work as well as representatives of
an NGO of these people, NGOs working with vulnerable groups and professional sociologists who will be
subcontracted for the work.
Expected outputs: A baseline sociological survey will be performed in populated areas with the highest
concentration of the people with HIV, i.e. Bishkek and Osh. This survey will yield the information required
for planning of programmes of medical and social support to PLHA and PAHA. Surveys to monitor changes
in the situation will be conducted each year.
The cost incurred will include the expenses for the international expert (USD4,500 for year 1) and planning
and conduct of the survey (USD3,000 annually). See Attachment 6.8

Activity 2. Strengthening capacity of PLHA/PAHA community organizations
At present a community-based organization of the people living with and affected by HIV functions in
Bishkek and a similar organization is being established in Osh. This activity is designed to ensure greater
independence of the organizations of the people living with HIV and people affected by HIV, which could
raise issues on their own initiative and conduct a dialogue with government and civil society and protect
human rights of the people living with HIV/AIDS.
The activity shall also facilitate greater involvement in consultations of the people living with HIV. It is
proposed to conduct annually 3 training seminars for a NGO of the people living with HIV and affected by
HIV. These seminars will cover basic management of programmes, accounting and reporting, relations with
governmental institutions and mass media; pre- and post-test consulting and human rights in terms of HIV
infection. NGOs working with vulnerable groups will also participate in these seminars. Representatives of
these NGOs will be trained in the area of relations with PLHA and PAHA, provision for their needs and

involvement in participatory actions. PLHA will get access to adequate information and to services of
licensed psychologists and psychotherapists. Effective functioning of NGOs requires their equipping with
office equipment, furniture, hotline telephone, and a possibility for operational telecommunication with
access to Internet. Provision of these organizations with office space and utility payments will be done at the
expense of the national budget.
Expected outputs: Growing human capacity of the communities of people living with HIV; their greater
involvement in HIV/AIDS response partnerships; NGOs working with PLHA/PAHA provided necessary
equipment
Costs (Attachment 6.8): funding for the seminars mentioned above (USD3,000 per each seminar, 2 seminars
during year 1 at USD1,500 each), development, printing and dissemination of information materials, training
of PLHA and NGO representatives working with vulnerable groups, as well as physicians on the basis of
other countries’ experience, administrative support to PLHA NGO (USD 24,000), delivery to 2 NGOs each a
personal computer with network equipment (USD700 each), modem (USD100), phone-fax (USD300), office
furniture(USD500), expenses for office supplies and telecommunications services (USD500) –total two sets.
In addition, allocation should be made for bonuses for volunteers from these organizations (USD1,800).

Activity 3. Provision of PLHA with antiretroviral (ARV) therapy. Prevention of perinatal HIV
transmission
It is estimated that about 10% of all registered PLHA need ARV therapy, i.e. 30 persons to date, 45 persons
expected for year 2, 60 for year 3, 75 for year 4, and 90 for year 5. Also treatment of opportunistic infections
in PLHA is envisaged. Management of one of the opportunistic infections – tuberculosis – will be stipulated
by the DOTS programme.
10% of the reported PLHA in the Kyrgyz Republic are women. Two pregnant women living with HIV were
reported in 1997 and 2002. In both cases preventive treatment was provided on account of humanitarian aid
due to lack of government funding. All women living with HIV/AIDS are of reproductive age, therefore, the
number of HIV-positive pregnant women and the risk of pre-natal infection of the fetus may grow.
Taking into account the 10-fold growth of the number of people infected with HIV each year it may be
assumed that in 2003 there will be 10 women with HIV and at least 8 of them will address the doctor during
their pregnancy and receive ARV therapy. Apparently the need for preventive ARV treatment will arise for 8
pregnant women living with HIV/AIDS and their newborn children during year 1, 20 during year 2, 35 during
year 3, 50 during year 4, and 100 during year 5.
ARV therapy should be done under viral load control for each patient and for this a polymerase chain reaction
(PCR) laboratory is required. At least two PCR laboratories are needed – one in the south and one in the north
of the country. Also respective training of medical specialists will be required but at the national seminars and
with the use of experience of other countries.
Expected outcome:
100% coverage with antiretroviral therapy of all people living with HIV/AIDS who need treatment
(total 300 over 5 years).
100% treatment conducted under laboratory control of each patient’s viral load.
Each diagnosed pregnant woman living with HIV/AIDS and also after childbirth her newborn infant
will obtain preventive ARV treatment to prevent infant infection.
The risk of child birth with HIV infection will be reduced by 50% (it is estimated that over 5 years
28 infants will be prevented HIV transmission from mother to child.
The costs (Attachment 6.8) will include procurement of antiretroviral medicines. Currently the cost of drugs
required for tri-therapy of one patient for a year is USD 9,460.5. For preventive treatment of one pregnant
woman with Zidovudine and her newborn infant with Retrovirum, USD 890 is needed. At present the country
intends to join the existing system of accelerated access to medicines as a result of which the cost of such
Application Form for Proposals to the Global Fund
Page 66 of 111

treatment may drop to USD 2,000 a year. A national protocol for treatment of HIV cases, AIDS patients and
pregnant women will be developed. Conduct of workshops and specializations abroad are also envisaged.
The costs will be also incurred in procurement of equipment and reagents to launch PCR. The cost of
equipment is USD 25,000, and reagents for 1000 investigations – USD 8,000. Personnel will be trained on the
basis of AIDS diagnostics laboratory in Moscow, Russia. Trainer experts will also be invited from Moscow .

Activity 4. Provision for voluntary anonymous HIV/AIDS testing and psychosocial counseling
The system of psychosocial consulting on HIV/AIDS is new to Kyrgyzstan. At present anonymous checkup
rooms function in the country, trained specialists are available, including 200 general practitioners. But these
consulting rooms are only a few, not equipped properly, and their personnel has to combine consulting with
other responsibilities. As a result, all detected PLHA could not obtain pre-testing but only post-testing
consultations. This requires training and retraining of specialists, setting up special rooms of psychosocial
consulting in the capital, oblast and rayon centers of the republic In the course of this programme
psychologists are to be involved in each anonymous checkup room at the “AIDS” National Association and 7
oblast centers of AIDS prevention and control. In addition, a base for training and conditions for psychosocial
consulting by general practitioners, practicing psychotherapists, and resource centers staff, “trust phone”
hotline service in state-owned and nongovernmental clinics and rooms will be established.
Expected outcomes: There will be established 8 resource centers and 30 rooms of psychosocial consulting on
HIV in the capital, oblast and rayon centers of the republic. General practitioners, psychologists, staff of
crisis centers, anonymous rooms and “trust phones” will be trained in psychosocial consulting skills.
Costs (Attachment 6.8): Equipping the rooms, development of special programmes for graduate and postgraduate education, training of training on HIV/AIDS psychosocial counseling, development and publication
of methodological guidebooks for trainers, payment for services of international and local consultants,
training specialist and information support.

28. Describe how the component adds to or complements activities already undertaken by the
government, external donors, the private sector or other relevant partner:
The HIV/AIDS component is aimed at implementation of the effective National Programme on AIDS
Prevention approved by the Government of the Kyrgyz Republic on 13 December 2001. The work will be
done on the basis of multisectoral approach with technical support of the UN Theme Group on HIV/AIDS.
The main implementing agents – representatives of the Ministry of Health, Ministry of Internal Affairs,
Ministry of Justice, Ministry of Labour and Social Protection, Ministry of Education and Culture, NGOs,
mass media – have experience in developing programmes on AIDS and trained specialists at the central and
partly at the regional levels. There is in the country a supportive political environment at the level of central
government and governmental organizations as well as readiness of the civil society to practical
implementation of the programmes at community level. Kyrgyzstan has own experience in development of
prevention programmes. Beneficiaries of the project will be organized youth, street children, sex workers,
injecting drug users, people living with and affected by HIV/AIDS, prison inmates and others. The main
problems of these groups are dangerous in terms of HIV/AIDS/STI behavior, underdevelopment of
prevention programmes, limited access to condoms distribution programmes, venereal and narcological
services. As an outcome of this project solution of these issues is envisaged, which will create positive
attitudes to HIV/AIDS/STI prevention among representatives of the target groups thus containing the
infection among the population of the country reducing the impact of the epidemics on social and economic
development of the country.
Support of the Global Fund for this proposal will enable increase of the amount and expand existing
interventions for HIV prevention among vulnerable populations; strengthen the multisectoral approach in the
country and decide the issues of improving national legislation and law-enforcement practices. Besides, new
programmes and interventions will be evolved in line with the declaration of commitment to HIV/AIDS
control adopted at the UN General Assembly session of 27 June 2001. These actions together with the efforts
undertaken by UN Agencies and other donors will help the country to implement the Strategic Plan of
National Response to HIV/AIDS epidemic and suspend its development at the early stage of the epidemic.
b) How these activities are related to the national Strategic Plan or how do they facilitate the work on
development, planning and monitoring in the framework of the Integrated Working Plan of the UN
System.
The objectives of this proposal comply with the major priorities of the National Strategic Plan and State
Programme on Prevention of HIV/AIDS, infections transmitted sexually and by injections in the Kyrgyz
Republic. The proposal also corresponds to the main priorities of the Integrated Plan of UN Agencies present
in the Kyrgyz Republic. Implementation of this proposal will provide support to execution of the National
Response to HIV/AIDS epidemic in the Kyrgyz Republic and permit making a serious contribution in
prevention of further spread of HIV infection in the country at this early stage of the epidemic.
29. Briefly describe how the component addresses the following issues (1 paragraph per item):
29.1. Involvement of beneficiaries such as people living with HIV/AIDS:
Implementation of this component will be focused immediately on improving the quality of life and forming
HIV/AIDS safe behavior of the vulnerable groups representatives, provision of care, access to treatment and
support for the people living with HIV/AIDS. This will be achieved through involvement of members of the
target groups in planning the interventions, participation in decision-making on HIV/AIDS prevention by way
of membership in the existing multisectoral committees on the central and regional levels. In addition,
vulnerable groups representatives will be directly executing the interventions as volunteers or being involved
in the peer education programmes on AIDS prevention.
29.2. Community participation:
The proposed programme activities are focused on the wider community comprising all representatives of
vulnerable groups (sex workers, IDU, PLHA, MSM, convicts) and local communities such as village
communities, youth groups, refugee and migrants’ communities. The main objective of the programme is to
build communal capacity in development of target programmes through training including peer-to-peer
training, increasing access to knowledge and skills of safe behavior, as well as commodities and services
(condoms, clean syringes, medical service, and counseling).
29.3. Gender equality issues (Guidelines paragraph IV.53):
Application Form for Proposals to the Global Fund
Page 69 of 111
69
Gender issue is an important aspect of this proposal. Women are more vulnerable to HIV/AIDS and women
are also more subject to discrimination. Women become more often victims to violence including sexual but
they are not always in a position to ensure safe behavior because man makes the decision. This proposal
envisages solution of these issues. This is achieved by school education of boys and girls on issues of AIDS
prevention, opposition to violence, including sexual violence, development of safe sex skills and ability to
defend their right for safe behavior.
The issue of gender equality has special significance when planning and organizing interventions among sex
workers. In this case in addition to the described approaches respective political decisions should be made
and legal dimensions of the problem identified. The Programme envisages legal education, supply of
condoms, increasing access to venereal service, legal and social support to sex workers.
29.4. Social equality issues (Guidelines paragraph IV.53):
This proposal is aimed at comprehensive development of the problem of AIDS prevention among different
groups of population at the level of cities and rural areas of the country. Remote populated areas will be
reached through school education to address children, teachers and parents. Unorganized youth will be
exposed to peer education programmes. Of the utmost importance will be target programmes for vulnerable
groups that are least protected, such as sex workers, injecting drug users, convicts, people living with and
affected by HIV/AIDS. At this, priority will be set on the socially unprotected groups of population for whom
access to information, education, medical service and means of protection against AIDS will be increased.
29.5. Human Resources development:
One of the main directions of activities in the framework of all objectives of this component is education. As
a result of this proposal implementation the country will build its own capacity for development of
educational programmes, effective systems of graduate and post-graduate training of different specialists will
be created, such as medical specialists of different professions, teachers, social workers, army servicemen,
law enforcement officers, journalists and others. Trainers for work with vulnerable populations and for peer
education programmes development will be trained. This will be achieved through training of national experts
and teachers. This training will be conducted in the country on the basis of available national capacity. In
addition, invitation of international experts is envisaged, training national specialists on examples of foreign
experience as well as through participation in international and regional conferences or meetings on AIDS
issues.
29.6. For components dealing with essential drugs and medicine, describe which products and
treatment protocols will be used and how rational use will be ensured (i.e. to maximize adherence and
monitor resistance), (Guidelines para. IV.55), (1–2 paragraphs):
For the time being the Kyrgyz Republic has no experience in treatment of AIDS patients. The country has
well-trained specialists but they have no practical experience in conduct of antiretroviral therapy, control and
observation during HIV/AIDS treatment. To provide for this area of activity training of national experts on
work experience of the leading clinics of the Ukraine and Russia will be conducted. After that a national
protocol for AIDS cases management will be developed with account of WHO recommendations. National
specialists who administer treatment will be trained in the country and provided with the national protocol of
treatment. The issues of HIV/AIDS treatment will be included in the programmes of graduate and postgraduate training of respective specialists. Monitoring and evaluation of the quality of training will be
performed. To control the treatment, PCR instruments will be procured and installed in two leading centers
of the country.

Objective 1. Improving of diagnosis of new smear positive cases
Sub-objective 1. . Increasing the rate of TB diagnosis among the suspected cases. This intervention is
directed at improving the integration of the National TB Programme (NTP) with the primary health care
(PHC). Involvement of family doctors through their additional training will facilitate early diagnosing of
TB cases, and strengthening health education will lead to earlier consultations of the patients at medical
establishments, which in its turn will have a positive impact on management results.
Sub-objective 1.B. Improving laboratory diagnostics. Supply of microscopy centres with reagents and
proper microscopes will improve diagnosing TB. The existing microscopes with a magnification power
of 630 times do not allow making a reliable detection of TB mycobacteria. Microscopes with the
magnification power of 1000 times are needed. Repeated training of the laboratory assistants (taking into
account a high rate of personnel turnover) will also permit to improve professional skills and reliable
detection of TB mycobacteria.
27.1. Broad activities related to each specific objective and expected output:
Objective 1. Improving of diagnosis of new smear positive cases
Sub-objective 1. . Increasing the rate of detection of TB among suspected cases.
Activity 1. Improving health education among the population. Detecting TB cases at the DOTS stage
assumes passive detection, however, many TB patients fail to consult doctors timely because they are not
aware of TB symptoms and of the consequences of late consultations with the doctors. Sanitary
promotion among the population will improve their TB literacy and awareness. With this aim in view it
is necessary to produce and disseminate booklets, fliers, posters in places where homeless people are
largely concentrated (markets, bazaars), neglected children residence homes “Ak-Jol”, “Meerim”
Foundation, especially among those groups that are more susceptible to TB infection. On the other hand,
it is important to ensure that medical personnel are friendly to any person who turns to their aid.
Expected output:
1. Increased awareness of the population on TB symptoms;
2. The patients will come earlier to the primary medical establishments for consultation;
3. The percentage of neglected forms of TB will drop.
4. Spreading the infection among other people will be contained.
Status by end of 2002:
10% of the population will be informed of initial symptoms of TB.
Situation by end of 2003
30% of the population will be informed of initial symptoms of TB.
Cost:
Year 1: USD6,000 (1 leaflet = $0.02) – 300,000 leaflet $0.02= USD6,000

Activity 2. Supply of reagents for microscopic examination.
Insufficient supply of reagents for microscopic examination prevents doing such examination for all TB
suspects as stipulated by the DOTS strategy.
To identify one smear positive TB case 33 examinations are required, and to identify 2,000 such cases
33x2000 = 66,000 examinations should be performed.
Expected output:
1. Increase in the number of new smear positive cases
2. Depletion of the reservoir of the source of infection among the population.

population. Of these, 50% is to be replaced, i.e. 25 microscopes.
Expected output:
1. Increased rate of microscopic confirmation of the diagnosis from 37% (2001)
70% by the end of
2007.
2. Improved management quality with proper identification of correct category of treatment.
Cost:
One binocular microscope costs USD2,000.

28. Describe how the component adds to or complements activities already undertaken by the
government, external donors, the private sector or other relevant partner:
This component reduces the gap of government financing that covers only 53% of the required budget for
further introduction of DOTS strategy recommended by WHO.
During 1996 to 2002 donor assistance to introduce DOTS strategy has been provided by other external NGOs
such as: “Meerim” Fund =USD35,100; USAID = USD72,000; Project “HOPE” = USD42,000; GDF =
USD2.4mln. We expect additional assistance from GDF at $2.4 mln.
29. Briefly describe how the component addresses the following issues (1 paragraph per item):
29.1. The involvement of beneficiaries such as people living with HIV/AIDS:
To implement this component, people contacting with TP patients, medical personnel, religious groups
and NGOs will be involved.

29.6. For components dealing with essential drugs and medicine, describe which products and
treatment protocols will be used and how rational use will be ensured (i.e. to maximize adherence
and monitor resistance), (Guidelines para. IV.55), (1–2 paragraphs):
According to DOTS strategy, TB treatment is divided into 3 categories.
Category one is prescribed 4 drugs: Isoniazid (H), Rifampizin (R), Pyrasinamide (Z), Ethambutol (E) –
in brackets shown international designation.
The following treatment protocol is used for category one:
2 E3H3R3Z3/4H3R3

For category three 3 drugs are used:
2 H3R3Z3/4H3R3
2 HRZ/4H3R3
2 HRZ/4HR
2 HRZ/6HRE
At central and regional levels there are monitoring centers and individual specialists designated to coordinate
drug and medicine supply. Every quarter, the data are entered in the databank in the NMC and at the regional
level as a result of which there is a possibility to trace the use of drugs down to rayon level.
During inspection visits of the central and oblast coordinators they perform regular audit of rational use of
drugs and medicine. The Department of Drug Supply and Medical Facilities of the Ministry of Health
exercises planned supervision.
The following therapy scheme is used to treat MDR-TB patients:
3 CetZ cy/ 18E cy (C – canamycini, Et – ethnonamide , – ophlaxacini, cy – cycloserini).
For sputum microscopy the following reagents are used: fuchsine basic, methylene blue phenol, and
concentrated hydrochloric acid.
The following reagents are used to determine drug sensitivity:
L-asparagine monohydrate 2.4g/ l
Glycerol 12 ml/l
Molachitogreen 2%

26.1. Goal and expected impact (Describe overall goal of component and what impact, if applicable, is
expected on the targeted populations, the burden of disease, etc.), (1–2 paragraphs):
- In face of the recent explosive resurgence of malaria transmission in border areas with Tajikistan and
Uzbekistan and the possible resumption of malaria transmission in other areas of the country, the
project attempts to change this unfavourable trend, particularly in epidemic — prone border areas
with Tajikistan and Uzbekistan, where autochthonous cases of Plasmodium vivax malaria have been
reported, and its number has continued to increase in 2002.
- The practical, technical and operational modalities on dealing with malaria by specialized services and
the public health sector as well as the community itself are the expected outcomes of the planned Project,
implemented by the Government of Kyrgyzstan. The project will have strong but flexible management
structure, capable in implementing cost-effective but technically sound and sustainable malaria control
measures adapted to the country’s conditions and responding to local needs.
-
base — line survey conducted in project areas will provide an assessment of the malaria-related
problems and needs at the beginning of the project, whereas terminal evaluation conducted at the
end of the project will bring to light improvements in the malaria situation which have occurred as c
result of project interventions.
- The project goal is to contain/prevent malaria outbreaks, reduce the incidence of malaria,
prevent its further spread across the country, and minimize socio-economic losses provoked by
the disease through the progressive strengthening of the capacities and capabilities of health services
and mobilizing community actions in Kyrgyzstan. Sustaining project activities beyond 2007 could

35.1. Briefly describe why you think this/these organization(s) is/are best suited to undertake the role
of a Principal Recipient for your proposal/component:
UNDP is one of the largest agencies of the UN system and included in the Country Coordinating Mechanism.
Being a legal entity UNDP furnishes technical assistance to many UN agencies and other international
organisations and donor countries in Kyrgyzstan who have no representative offices of their own in the
Kyrgyz Republic. UNDP has its cooperation office in Osh and national and international UN volunteers in all
oblasts and 780 settlements of the country.
The UNDP global strategy on HIV/AIDS envisages provision of support in development of policies based on
leadership and multisectoral approach, in shaping the country’s capacity, improving legislation, mobilisation
of the civil society sector, assessment of the HIV/AIDS epidemic impact on sustainable human development
as well as development of modern information technologies in terms of HIV/AIDS prevention. UNDP has
been working in the Kyrgyz Republic since 1995 on AIDS prevention programmes including systematic
interventions in that area since 1997. UNDP has made a significant contribution in strengthening capacity of
the Kyrgyz Republic on HIV/AIDS issues. UNDP country office has experience in development of
HIV/AIDS prevention programmes, trained staff including HIV/AIDS professionals, experience of
Application Form for Proposals to the Global Fund
Page 97 of 111
97
partnerships with all national and international counterparts named above. At present, UNDP administers
implementation of the Joint Expanded Programme of UN Agencies on AIDS in the Kyrgyz Republic.
UNDP maintains strict but transparent system of financial and administrative monitoring stipulated by
specially developed and approved rules of implementation of nationally executed programmes and projects.
35.2. Briefly describe how your suggested Principal Recipient(s) will relate to the CCM and to other
implementing partners:
The Principal Recipient suggested by the country will work on conditions of close cooperation and division
of responsibilities with the Country Coordinating Mechanism. Complete transparency of the financial
procedures conducted by the Principal Recipient will be ensured as well as that of goods and services
procurement procedures (See Chapter 8 of this proposal). UNDP staff representative in charge of the Global
Fund Proposal will be reporting to the Chair of the Country Coordinating Mechanism and submit regular
information on GF Proposal implementation progress concerning both its technical and financial aspects.
Distribution of resources between sub-recipients will be effected in accordance with the GF Programme
principles of competitiveness, transparency and obtaining the best result at the lowest financial costs.
36.Briefly indicate links between the overall implementation arrangements described above and other
existing arrangements (including, for example, details on annual auditing and other related deadlines). If
required, indicate areas where you require additional resources from the Global Fund to strengthen
managerial and implementation capacity:
The work on GF Proposal implementation will be carried out on the basis of annual and quarterly plans and
financial estimates prepared by the UNDP manager on submission of the main implementing agents from the
governmental and nongovernmental organisations. The plans will be discussed by the CCM and approved by
the CCM Chair. Annual compulsory audit is stipulated to be performed by an independent auditing company
selected on competitive basis. Independent experts should also make evaluations in the first third and fifth
year of the Programme.
To strengthen administrative aspects of the GF Proposal implementation additional staff will be needed
including programme manager, finance and administrative assistance and a driver. These personnel will be
selected on competitive basis and will be responsible for day-to-day implementation of the Proposal, ensuring
transparency of financial and administrative procedures, and technical support of the GF Proposal
implementation.

SECTION VII – Monitoring and evaluation information
37. Outline the plan for conducting monitoring and evaluation including the following information, (1
paragraph per sub-question).
37.1. Outline of existing health information management systems and current or existing surveys
providing relevant information (e.g., Demographic Health Surveys, Living Standard Measurement
Surveys, etc.), (Guidelines para. VII.76):
The National Association «AIDS» collects data on HIV/AIDS issues in the health service sector. Specialized
research in particular areas is conducted by nongovernmental, independent academic and scientific research
institutions. The most complete review of the situation and outcomes of the interventions was done in 2000 in
the process of development of the National Strategic Plan. The latest research has been carried out for the
National Human Development Report. This Proposal uses the results of both of these studies as its basic
premises. Data collection on TB in the health service sector is performed by the Kyrgyz Research Institute of
TB together with National Statistical Center of the Ministry of Health that are equipped with CDC facilities
and connected to the integrated programme information network with support through the World Bank loan.
37.2. Suggested process, including data collection methodologies and frequency of data collection
(e.g., routine health management information, population surveys, etc.):
The Country Coordinating Mechanism will monitor development of all components of the programme
(HIV/AIDS, TB and malaria) by the indicators reflecting compliance of the activities with the plan. This will
be done with the help of the Programme staff on the basis of the technical and financial reports submitted by
the counterparts every half-year. Performance of the Programme will be assessed on the basis of external
indicators that reflect actual changes of the situation in the country. This assessment will be made by the
executing agents of the main sections of the Programme on the basis of the second generation sentinel
surveillance data and special context studies (public opinion surveys, legal situation assessment and other).
Activities to support such assessments are described in the respective sections of this Proposal. A Final
Report will be prepared and issued following a special evaluation review. The Final Report will include both
technical and financial aspects of the Programme progress and substantive changes in the situation. The
National Director and coordinators of the three components will be responsible for the preparation and
submission of evaluation reports. Specific methods of monitoring and evaluation, their timetables and
indicators for Programme objectives achievement will be developed before the beginning of the Programme.
The list of indicators used in accounting and reporting is to be reviewed every two years on the basis of
evaluation of their effectiveness. All stakeholders of the Programme (professional governmental,
nongovernmental, international and other organizations) will take part in that review.
Personnel for the second generation sentinel surveillance of HIV infection will be trained. Countrywide
sentinel surveillance will be introduced. The personnel will be trained on the principles of monitoring and
evaluation of the HIV, TB and malaria control programme performance. The specialists will be familiarized
with effective monitoring systems in the process of their work.
In addition to routine monitoring using the indicators of the process, outputs and outcomes as stand-alone
items, it is proposed to evaluate the effects of interventions through establishing causal relations between
them and the epidemic spread. The evaluation of effectiveness of the interventions will become a basis for
strengthening, planning, forecasting and adjustment of interventions to respond to HIV, malaria and
tuberculosis. Besides, the most effective indicators will be identified in the process.
37.3. Timeline:
Epidemiological data collection on tuberculosis, AIDS and malaria is carried out on a monthly basis. The
DOTS strategy implementation report is regularly submitted to WHO.
37.4. Roles and responsibilities for collecting and analysing data and information:
The Country Coordinating Mechanism and programme coordinators of each of the three components
(HIV/AIDS, TB, malaria) will play a coordination role in collection and analysis of the data and information
on HIV/AIDS. Heads of health service facilities will be responsible for data and information collection and
analysis on medical issues including unlinked sero-surveillance.
Application Form for Proposals to the Global Fund
Page 99 of 111
99
37.5. Plan for involving target population in the process:
In the HIV/AIDS component, nongovernmental organizations representing the interests of vulnerable groups
will be responsible for collection and analysis of all data on these groups with the exception of serosurveillance. With regard to the tuberculosis component, target population will be involved in the process in
accordance with the National Programme “Tuberculosis” and Law “On protection of population against
tuberculosis”, i.e. multisectoral approach to problem solving is envisaged.
37.6. Strategy for quality control and validation of data:
The strategy fore quality control and validation of data in the HIV/AIDS component includes: (1)
independent surveys including these with participation of international experts; (2) transparency of the results
obtained including their periodic publicizing and comparison of the results of serological, behavioural and
context research; (3) obligatory interaction of independent research teams with nongovernmental
organisations, which will act as direct customers, providers of the primary information and access to the
group/community, and evaluators of the chosen research methodology and results from the point of view of
control of HIV infection. The Government (Ministry of Health, KRIoT, State Department for Sanitary and
Epidemiological Surveillance, the National Association “AIDS”) is implementing the strategy for quality
control of detection and treatment as well as collection of information on TB, malaria and AIDS patients.
37.7. Proposed use of M&E data:
The output of this activity will be the maintenance of the most effective indicators the change of which is
directly linked to the impact on the infection spread. It will be instrumental in more effective operational
planning of response to the epidemic, better information of professionals, review of the existing monitoring
system and subordination of the epidemiological surveillance to coordinated programmes of prevention and
alleviation of the epidemic consequences.
38. Recognizing that there may be cases in which applicants may not currently have sufficient
capacity to establish and maintain a system(s) to produce baseline data and M&E indicators,
please specify, if required, activities, partners and resource requirements for strengthening M&E
capacities.
Please note: As M&E activities may go beyond specific proposals funded by the Global Fund,
please also include resources coming from other sources at the bottom of Table VII.38.
Examples of activities include collecting data, improving computer systems, analysing data,
preparing reports, etc.
The main costs will be incurred by orders for expert opinions (USD300) and conduct of the National
Round Tables (USD3,000) once every two years; conduct of a national seminar on second generation of
sentinel surveillance with participation of international experts (USD15,000), development of the national
protocol of sentinel surveillance (USD500), finalizing methods of sentinel surveillance on work places in
three regions with involvement of national and regional experts (USD6,000), procurement of testing systems

SECTION VIII – Procurement and supply-chain management information
39. Describe the existing arrangements for procurement and supply chain management of public
health products and equipment integral to this component’s proposed disease interventions,
including pharmaceutical products as well as equipment such as injections supplies, rapid
diagnostics tests, and commodities such as micronutrient supplements, condoms and bed nets
(Refer to Guidelines paragraph VIII.86).
Table VIII.39
Component of procurement and supply Existing arrangements and capacity (physical and
chain management system

How are suppliers of products selected The first step in selecting suppliers is often market
and pre-qualified?
research, particularly if the product or service has
not been procured before. There are a number of
tools available for this initial phase. Check the
United Nations Common Supply Database
(UNCSD) maintained by UNDP/IAPSO. For details
refer to the IAPSO website (www.iapso.org)
Check references such as the Thomas Register
KOMPASS
and
(www.thomasregister.com),
www.prosavvy.com (for professional services).
Pre-qualification is recommended to ensure that
offers are sought only from suppliers who have the
requisite resources and experience to perform the
intended work satisfactorily. The aim of the prequalification is to establish a list of capable suppliers
whilst ensuring that a proper level of competition is
safeguarded. The above is a time consuming
exercise and should be used for contracts of high
value i.e. USD100,000.00 or more for civil works
and contracting of professional services.
Economic prudence and efficiency:
Purchases and contracts will be made at the best
price for equipment, supplies, goods, works, or
services being procured or contracted from suppliers
and contractors who can make delivery and work in
a timely manner.
Transparency:
Procurement
and
contracting
decisions will be made according to a regular and
transparent process that clearly establishes
accountability for such decisions. Any and all
exceptions to or deviations from such processes will
require full justification and prior approval from
relevant agencies.
Competition: Procurement and contracting decisions
will be made on the basis of a competitive bidding
process that allows fair and equal treatment to all
prospective suppliers and contractors through an
equitable geographical distribution.
What procurement procedures are used to
ensure open and competitive tenders,
expedited product availability, and
consistency
with
national
and
international intellectual property laws
and obligations?
The methods used for Procurement of goods, works
and/or services as follows:
1. Request for quotation (RFQ)
2. Invitation to bid (ITB)
3. Request for proposal (RFP)
4. Direct contracting
5. Purchasing

Preparation, Selection and Purchase
less than $1,000
Application Form for Proposals to the Global Fund
Page 102 of 111
102
For the purchase of equipment and supplies costing
less than $1000, UNDP does not issue a
procurement order. Items costing less than $50 may
be purchased through the Petty Cash Fund (see
Chapter III). For items costing $50 - $999, three
competitive quotations are required from suppliers.
These quotations may be received without the
preparation of written documents, i.e., quotations
may be solicited and received over the telephone. A
simple quotation evaluation is prepared by the
Project Manager containing names of company,
name of the person who gave the quotation,
telephone number, date when the quotation was
received and price. The Project Manager should
also recommend which vendor to buy from.
Attachment 5.2.1 provides a format for this
evaluation.
(ii) $1,000 - $29,999
For the purchase of equipment and supplies
costing from $1,000 to $29,999, the following
preparation for an assessment of competitive
quotations must be taken. The country office may
authorize waiver of the competitive bidding
requirement. Factors involved in the decision to
waive the competitive bidding requirement are
described in Attachment 5.2.2. The following
describe the preparation procedures in
chronological order, which should be adhered to:
Step 1 Work plan All planned purchase of
equipment should be included in the quarterly
operational work plan which has obtained a
UNDP signature for no-objection. A format for
listing the planned procurements of equipment
are provided in Attachment 5.2.3. This list should
contain the broad specifications as given in the
project document, together with the allocation of
funds in the project budget. No preparation for
procurement should be undertaken, without such
a no-objection signature from UNDP.
Step 2 Preparation of Specifications. The Project
Manager must prepare a document with
specifications for project equipment and supplies.
If necessary, the country office or external,
independent technical expertise may be consulted
for assistance in preparing necessary instructions
and evaluation criteria (standard evaluation
criteria are listed in Attachment 5.2.4).
Step 3 Identification and selection of potential
suppliers. The Project Manager can identify
possible suppliers in rosters of suppliers or from
other available databases of suppliers and
contractors, by referrals from the country office,
or by advertisement. In addition, “on-line”
searches for specific suppliers may be conducted
via the Internet and the WWW. Although, it is
not obligatory to invite international companies it
might be cost-efficient in some cases. The UNDP
country office might assist with addresses from
the roster in the country office. After having
Application Form for Proposals to the Global Fund
Page 103 of 111
103
identified potential suppliers the Project Manager
sends out letters for quotation (see Attachment
5.2.5) The Project Manager must receive at least
three positive responses. Prices quoted in
catalogues or other advertising materials may be
considered as viable written quotations.
Step 4 Selection of vendor The Project Manager,
together with the technical experts involved in
writing the specifications reviews the quotations
received from suppliers and selects the most
desirable offer on the basis of the following
primary selection criteria: conformity with the
specifications or TOR, delivery schedule,
availability of service, warranty and price (see
Attachment 5.2.4 for a list of factors influencing
evaluation of quotations or proposals.) The
project Manager writes an evaluation report,
which justifies the recommendation to the
UNDP.
The following documentation are attached to a
direct payment request and submitted to the
UNDP. Those documents are:
1) List of
Specification 2) Letter of Invitation to Bid, 3)
Minimum of three received quotations, 4) Project
Managers’ evaluation report and recommendation
to the Resident Representative.
(iii) $30,000 to $99,999*
For the purchase of equipment and supplies
costing from $30,000 to $99,999 all proposed
purchases are subject to review by the Local
Contracts Committee (LCC) in the UNDP office.
*Note: If, in accordance with the project
document or through other sources, it is known in
advance that multiple contracts or procurement
orders may be made with any one particular
company over several months, years or for the
duration of the project totaling $100,000 or more,
procurement
and
contracting
procedures
designated for use at the $100,000 level or above
must be followed as described in section (iv)
below.
Step 1 Work plan All planned purchase of
equipment should be included in the quarterly
operational work plan which has obtained a
UNDP signature for no-objection. A format for
listing the planned procurements of equipment is
provided in Attachment 5.2..3. This list should
contain the broad specifications as given in the
project document, together with the allocation of
funds in the project budget. No preparation for
procurement should be undertaken, without such
a no-objection signature from UNDP.
Step 2 Preparation of Specifications The Project
Manager, together with the UNDP Program
Officer identify and hire an external,
independent consultant to conduct a need
assessment, draft the specification document,
including evaluation criteria for the bidding
process, and to advice the evaluation of the
Application Form for Proposals to the Global Fund
Page 104 of 111
104
quotations.
Step 3 Selection of Supplier. For purchases of
$30,000 to $99,999, international competitive
bidding is required unless a waiver is obtained
and negotiated procurement approved according
to the procedures described in Steps 6-8 below.
The competitive bidding process should be
implemented in accordance with the following
chronological step 1-5:
3.1 Short List
A short list of prospective suppliers (which may
include local suppliers and contractors in addition
to international candidates) may be identified by
the Project Manager from a long list of firms and
institutions known to the executing agency, by
advertisement in business publications, by use of
rosters or recommendations received from the
country office, through “on-line” Internet
searches, and by direct contact from
organizations.
The Project Manager will assess the suitability of
identified firms and institutions and prepare a
short list of not less than 6 qualified
organizations, whereof a minimum of 3 are
international suppliers (see Attachment 5.2.6. for
criteria used to select firms for short-listing). To
ensure the most successful procurement it is
recommended that 6-12 suppliers are short-listed
for procurement of goods. It is recommended that
1-4 short-listed firms come from major underutilized UNDP donors; 1-3 from developing
countries; and 1-2 from countries that may not
have been included in earlier procurement shortlists for a particular project.
3.2 Request for Quotation
Short-listed firms are sent a Request for
Quotation (Attachment 5.2.5), which includes the
result of the above mentioned needs assessment
and the list of specifications (see step 2). In
general, specifications should be used without
requirements for specific makes in order to allow
for the greatest response from contacted
suppliers. A quotation should contain a sealed
technical offer and a sealed financial offer. All
specific conditions required for equipment, e.g.,
terrain, weather, climate conditions specific to the
republic, as well as project deadlines should be
clearly indicated in the proposal.
3.3 Bid Opening
The bids/proposals remain sealed until expiration
of the submission deadline at which time all
bids/proposals are opened. Bids/proposals must
be publicly opened by the Project Manager and
the Chairman of the UNDP Local Contracts
Committee (see Attachment 5.2.7 for opening of
bids report).
3.4 Evaluation of bids
A group of involved parties are involved to
participate in the evaluation of the bidding. The
expert who drafted the specifications will
Application Form for Proposals to the Global Fund
Page 105 of 111
105
prepare, guide and participate in the evaluation.
The evaluation criteria to be applied are the
ones specified in the documentation regarding
the specifications (see step 2) A short
description of how to evaluate according to a
point system is provided in annex 6.6.
Proposals should be evaluated separately, first
from a technical position and later from a
financial position. The technical evaluation
criteria are the ones identified together with the
specifications (see step 2).
After the evaluation, the expert and the Project
Manager prepare the evaluation report together
with the recommendations of the evaluation.
The recommendation should favor the qualified
and responsible supplier submitting the lowest
bid and in accordance with the list of
evaluation factors listed in the list of
specifications. One of the bids may be selected
for recommendation to UNDP or all bids may
be rejected. Procedures to be followed once a
bid/proposal has been accepted are described
after Step 8 below.
3.5 Procurement Award
The project presents the procurement to the
Local Contracts Committee through the
presenting officer. The presenting officer can
be the Project Manager, an independent expert,
the Program Officer or Finance Officer from
the country office. The presenting officer may
present all relevant documentation related to
the selection process to the Local Contract
Committee. The role of the Local Contract
Committee is to review that the process of
selecting the vendor has been done in
accordance with UNDP rules and regulations.
Based on the review the LCC recommends
suitable
vendors
to
the
Resident
Representative.
For procurements for less than US$20,000 both
the Program Manager and the Procurement
Officer at the UNDP Office can submit
proposals to the Local Contract Committee for
review. This will typically happen if the above
procedures for some reasons have not been
followed. In that case, the UNDP officer
becomes the presenting officer.
3.6 Rejection of Bids
If any or all bids/proposals are rejected, the
Project Manager records the reasons for
rejection and makes a determination whether to
invite new proposals or seek approval for
procurement or contracting on a negotiated
basis.
3.7 Negotiated Procurement
For purchases or proposed contracts of more
than $20,000, competitive bidding may be
waived and procurement may be negotiated
with one particular firm when one or more of
the criteria for waiver has been met and the
Application Form for Proposals to the Global Fund
Page 106 of 111
106
waiver is approved by the UNDP (see
Attachment 5.2.2 for circumstances under
which competitive bidding may be waived.)
3.8 Justification of Waivers
The Project Manager must prepare and
submit any perceived justification for waiver
along with the Requisition Form or proposed
negotiated contract to the UNDP Resident
Representative.
(iv) over $99,999
Procedures required for procurement in
amounts of $100,000 or more, are the same as
for procedures described for amounts from
$30,000 to $99,999 as described above, with
the following exceptions: 1) recommendations
for awards must be submitted for consideration
by the UNDP HQs Contracts Committee in
New York; and 2) final approval must be
provided by the Chief Procurement Officer in
NY.
Procurement of Vehicles and Computers,
Radio/Security Equipment. Because of the
specific manufacturing characteristics of such
items as vehicles, computers, and various radio
and security equipment, their procurement
must comply with the requirements of IAPSO
or the Division of Administrative Information
Services, details of which are available through
the country office.
What quality assurance mechanisms are
in place to assure that all products
procured and used are safe and effective?
Application Form for Proposals to the Global Fund
Page 107 of 111
Claims and Disputes. The Project Manager must
promptly notify the NPD and Local Contracts
Committee of any event, which may lead to a dispute
or claim by the executing agency or the contractor.
The LCC will review all claims and advise the
Project Manager of action to be taken in regard to
the disposition of the claim.
Once a list of potential suppliers has been developed,
Supplier capability evaluation takes place. The key
guidelines for Supplier appraisal are as follows:
- technical capacity to deliver the goods and/or
services as per schedule;
- for high valued contract (exceeding USD1
million) and technically complex product, it is
advisable to contact credit rating and reporting
agencies specializing in providing such
investigative services for a fee (company
production facilities reports are furnished);
- evidence of meeting national or international
quality standards for the product offered, or
evidence of national and international
acceptance of its services;
- capacity to provide after-sales-service for the
goods or services provided;
- compliance with UNDP General Terms and
Conditions.
107
What distribution systems exist and how
do they minimize product diversion and
maximize broad and non-interrupted
supply?
To achieve the best distribution system among
suppliers, the process of selecting a supplier should
ensure the following:
- maximize competition;
- minimize the complexity of the solicitation,
evaluation, and the selection decision;
- ensure impartial and comprehensive evaluation
of offerer’s proposal;
- ensure selection of the source whose offer has
the highest degree of realism and whose
performance is expected to best meet UNDP
requirements stated in the solicitation
documents.
40. Describe the existing arrangements for procurement of services (e.g., hiring personnel, contracts,
training programs, etc.), (1–2 paragraphs):
Competitiveness: The recruitment must be made on the basis of a wide search for the most qualified
candidates, and selection of the best-suited individual according to the job description and the program
support document.
Transparency: The recruitment process must be transparent and open, giving full and equal information to all
candidates, with clear criteria for selection, and with the participation of several individuals in the decisionmaking process, for example, through a committee.
Fair Compensation: Compensation will be based on the salary history or market wage rates, whichever is the
best indicator or the values of the skills and experience of the individual being recruited. (In the case of
NPPP, the salary range for national employees of UN country office will be the basis for establishing
compensation).
There are certain contracts that comply with the above:
1) Special Service Agreement (SSA)
The purpose of SSA contracts is to provide expeditious recruitment of skilled individual who can supply
services on a short-term basis, not exceeding 11 months.
2) Service Contract (SC)
The SC is used to hire individuals for activities, which are not part of the central function of the UNDP
work programme. The SC is intended primarily for hiring: a) local personnel on projects (professional
and support functions); b) personnel for activities that are not integral to the work of the office and
normally would be outsourced, but for which outsourcing is not feasible or desirable.
3) Loan Agreement (RLA: reimbursable and non-reimbursable)
RLA does not constitute a contractual arrangement between UNDP and the individual. It is an agreement
between UNDP and another institution, by which that institution makes available the services of an
individual.
4) Model Contract for Professional Consulting Services (Sub-Contract)
This model contract is intended for services (studies, consultancies by firms, etc.) to be obtained from
companies as well as from NGOs, universities, etc. It is not to be used for procuring goods or works.
41. Provide an overview of the additional resources (e.g., infrastructure, human resources) required to
support the procurement and distribution of products and services to be used in this component, (2–3
paragraphs):
The UNDP Country Office in Kyrgyzstan and the Country Coordinating Mechanism will perform Monitoring
and control of the present proposal implementation. To strengthen administrative aspects of the GF Proposal
implementation additional staff will be needed including programme manager, finance and administrative
assistants. This personnel will be selected on a competitive basis and their appointment will be agreed with
the Chair of the Country Coordinating Mechanism. The above-mentioned personnel will be responsible for
day-to-day administration of financial matters and other material resources as well as monitoring of planned
activities execution. It will work in accordance with UNDP procedures and will report to the Global Fund,
UNDP Resident Representative and the CCM Chair. This personnel will closely cooperate with the respective
ministries including the Ministry of Health, Ministry of Education and Culture, Ministry of Internal Affairs as
Application Form for Proposals to the Global Fund
Page 108 of 111
108
well as nongovernmental organizations and volunteers from the target groups stipulated by this programme.
Main counterparts will be the departments and establishments of the Ministry of Health system: “AIDS”
National Association, Kyrgyz Institute of TB, Department of State Sanitary and Epidemiological Supervision,
Ministry of Education and Culture, Ministry of Defense, Ministry of Internal Affairs establishments, private,
nongovernmental and community-based organizations. The National Narcological Centre and similar oblast
structures being major governmental organizations also work on issues of HIV/AIDS and drug addiction.
In line with the UNDP rules and regulations and jointly with the main counterparts (CCM, governmental and
nongovernmental organizations) organizations for subcontracting will be identified (e.g., for development of
educational programmes, prevention interventions on the basis of peer education, and improving IEC
strategy). Criteria for selection will include work experience on HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria
prevention. Each organization should prepare a work plan that becomes a basis for its participation in
competitive bidding for grant financing.
The above-mentioned personnel will procure goods and services in accordance with the UNDP rules and
procedures and manage the procedures on preparation of information materials and making contracts to
implement different kinds of services. The personnel will be responsible for consolidation of the work plan,
prepared by each counterpart, financial estimate (forecast) and financial reporting on funds used. An
important aspect of this activity is provision for targeted spending of the Global Fund resources and exclusion
of unjustified costs related to violation of the existing goods and services procurement procedures.
42. Detail in the table below any additional sources from which the applicant plans to obtain products
relevant to this component, whether additional requests have been requested or granted already.
(For each source, indicate a contact person at the program in question, the volume of product in the request
