2.1.3 Connaissances et expériences des membres en matière de questions transversales
(a) Renforcement des systèmes de santé : Décrire la capacité et l’expérience du CCM (ou sous-CCM) en
matière de renforcement des systèmes de santé
Le CCM est un organisme multisectoriel dont une frange importante de ses membres jouit d’une expérience avérée
en matière de système de santé. Il s’agit principalement des représentants du gouvernement (Ministère de la Santé
Publique), la société civile, du secteur privé et des partenaires. La plupart des membres ont participé activement à
l’élaboration de plusieurs documents liés au système de santé parmi lesquels : le plan national de développement
sanitaire, la stratégie sectorielle santé, les plans stratégiques nationaux de lutte contre le VIH/sida, la Tuberculose et
le Paludisme, l’Approche Sectorielle Santé (SWAP), le Plan de développement des ressources humaines.
Le CCM bénéficie régulièrement de l’appui technique de personnes ressources des programmes nationaux de lutte
contre le Sida, Paludisme et Tuberculose dans la définition des priorités nationales et l’amélioration de leurs
connaissances en matière de renforcement des systèmes de santé.
(b) Genre : Décrire la capacité et l’expérience du CCM (ou sous-CCM) en ce qui concerne les questions
de genre et les questions liées à l’orientation sexuelle et aux identités sexuelles.

Compétences et connaissances des méthodologies d'évaluation des différences liées au genre en
matière d’impact des maladies et de leurs conséquences (y compris les différences
hommes/femmes et garçons/filles), ainsi que des moyens requis pour accéder à et utiliser les
programmes de prévention, de traitement, de soins et de soutien ; et
 Connaissance globale des facteurs qui rendent vulnérables les femmes et les jeunes filles, ainsi
que les minorités sexuelles, telle que les normes, les comportements, les attitudes et les
pratiques néfastes qui sous-tendent les différences dans la propagation du VIH (par exemple :
violence liée au genre, discrimination et stigmatisation, mutilation génitale féminine, mariage
précoce, masculinité, etc.)
Le CCM Cameroun accorde une grande importance sur les questions de genre dans l'élaboration et la mise en
œuvre des programmes. La composition du CCM favorise l'équilibre entre les sexes. Les femmes représentent
36,7% du CCM, la vice-présidence du CCM est assurée par une femme (représentante des malades) et le
secrétaire technique est également une femme. Le CCM a mis en place un Comité Ad-hoc chargé d’appuyer le
secrétariat technique dans toutes ses missions. Ce Comité est composé de 10 membres actifs dont 6 femmes et 4
hommes.
Le CCM ne pratique pas de discrimination liée à l’orientation sexuelle et aux identités sexuelles. Le CCM œuvre pour
la promotion du genre et la prise en compte des questions liées à l’orientation sexuelle et aux identités sexuelles.
Des organisations telles que CAMNAFAW et AFASO qui travaillent principalement dans les secteurs de la santé
sexuelle et génésique et la mobilisation des femmes dans la lutte contre le VIH sont des membres clés qui assurent
une perspective genre au sein du CCM. CAMNAFAW a également une expérience considérable en matière de santé
sexuelle et reproductive chez les MSM et les LGBTI. Le Ministère de la Promotion de la Femme et de la Famille
(MINPROFF), est membre du CCM, et veille régulièrement à la prise en compte de l’approche genre et de la lutte
contre les violences sexospécifiques.
Deux membres du CCM ont participé à l’atelier de consultation régionale en Afrique occidentale et centrale sur
l’opérationnalisation des stratégies sur l’égalité de genre du Fonds Mondial et de l’ONUSIDA à Dakar (Sénégal) du
26 au 28 Janvier 2010.
Le CCM bénéficie régulièrement de l’appui technique de personnes ressources des autres secteurs de la société
civile non membres du CCM, notamment les MSM. Par exemple, le processus d’élaboration de la proposition du
Round 10 a fait l’objet d’une large consultation y compris des associations des MSM et des TS.
Le Plan stratégique national de lutte contre le Sida élaboré avec la contribution du CCM prend en compte la
12/23
dimension genre dans le contexte du VIH ainsi que les minorités sexuelles.
En 2009, plusieurs membres du CCM ont contribué à la réalisation d’une étude nationale sur le genre et le VIH
réalisée par le Ministère de la santé publique avec l’appui de l'ONUSIDA, l’UNIFEM et le PNUD.
(c) Combien de membres du CCM (ou sous-CCM)
disposent de compétences importantes dans l’un
ou dans les deux domaines décrits dans la
rubrique 2.1.3 (b) ?
 15 (Renforcement des systèmes de santé), 10
(genre)
(d) Planification multisectorielle : Décrire la capacité et l’expérience du CCM (ou sous-CCM) dans
l'élaboration de programmes multisectoriels.
Plusieurs départements ministériels y compris les partenaires au développement sont représentés au CCM par de
hauts responsables qui ont en charge l’élaboration des programmes multisectoriels. A titre d’exemple, le MINEPAT
(Ministère de l’Economie, de la Planification et de l’Aménagement du Territoire), membre du CCM, a la charge de
l’élaboration et de la mise en œuvre de la politique économique de la nation ainsi que de l’aménagement du
territoire. Pareillement, le Ministère de la Jeunesse élabore les politiques en matière de jeunesse, le Ministère de
l’Agriculture et du Développement Rural, les politiques agricoles, le Ministère de la Recherche Scientifique et de
l’Innovation élabore les politiques de recherche, etc.
Toutes ces institutions ont joué un rôle fondamental dans l’élaboration des principaux documents stratégiques
nationaux tels que le document de vision 2035 du Cameroun, Document de Stratégie pour la Croissance et l’Emploi
(DSCE 2010-2020), les Plans stratégiques nationaux de lutte contre le Sida, Paludisme, Tuberculose.
Plusieurs membres du CCM jouent le rôle de leadership dans la planification multisectorielle, et apportent une
expérience et une expertise considérables dans ce domaine. Le CCM comporte en son sein des experts-consultants
au niveau international dans l’élaboration des programmes.

(a) Décrire le processus suivi pour solliciter les contributions - en vue d’une intégration éventuelle à la
proposition - d'un large éventail d’acteurs, de la société civile comme du secteur privé, sur les plans
national, infranational et communautaire, ainsi que des principales populations affectées, si cela est
pertinent.  Expliquer le processus pour chaque proposition maladie incluse dans la candidature
À la suite de l'appel à propositions du Fonds mondial le 20 mai 2010, le CCM a tenu une réunion le 03 Juin 2010, où
il a été décidé de soumettre une proposition au Round 10. Les membres du CCM ont unanimement décidé
d’accorder la priorité à la proposition pour la composante VIH étant donné d’une part, que le Cameroun bénéficie de
la subvention du Fonds Mondial dans le cadre du Round 9 Paludisme et Tuberculose, et que d’autre part les Round
3 et 4 sont terminés depuis décembre 2009 et font l’objet d’une continuité des services (CoS) qui se termine en
décembre 2011(Annexe 6). Suite à cette réunion, le CCM a lancé un appel à propositions pour la Série 10, publié
dans le quotidien national, Cameroun Tribune. (Annexe 7). A travers ce processus le CCM Cameroun a permis à
l’opinion publique nationale et internationale d’être informé du lancement du Round 10 du Fonds Mondial et donc de
soumettre éventuellement leurs propositions dans des délais prescrits par l’appel à candidature. Ce délai étant fixé
au Vendredi 16 juillet 2010 à 15 heures précises.
Des entretiens qualitatifs et des visites de terrain ont été organisés avec les MARPS (TS, MSM) pour solliciter leurs
contributions en vue d’une intégration dans la proposition nationale (Annexe 7bis).
Le CCM a enregistré au niveau de son Secrétariat Technique, les dix (10) sous-propositions issues des institutions
suivantes : MINSANTE (associant ACMS, IRESCO, CAMNAFAW, BIT, CHP), Care Cameroun, Institut de Recherche
pour le Développement (IRD), Coalition d’OBC, association Presse Jeune, Catholic Relief Services, Cameroon
Baptist Convention, Forum Camerounais de psychologie, Centre International de Recherche sur le VIH/sida
(CIRCB), Care Help.
(b) Décrire le processus suivi pour examiner de façon transparente les contributions reçues en vue d’une
intégration éventuelle à cette proposition.  Expliquer le processus pour chaque proposition maladie incluse dans
la candidature
L’ensemble des sous-propositions reçues au secrétariat du CCM a été transmis à tous les membres. Ces souspropositions ont été également remises à l’ONUSIDA mandaté par le CCM pour assurer la coordination technique
14/23
du processus d’élaboration de la proposition nationale au Round 10 (Annexe 6). L’ONUSIDA a constitué à cet effet,
un groupe d’experts indépendants pour l’analyse des 10 sous-propositions. Le résultat de l’analyse des experts a été
présenté lors de la réunion du CCM du 27 juillet 2010 (Annexe 8). Après délibération, aucune proposition n’a été
entièrement rejetée. Le CCM a opté pour l’intégration de toutes les propositions suivant le cadre prioritaire retenu
pour la proposition nationale (Annexe 9).
Les membres du CCM qui ont signalé leur volonté de participer à la finalisation de la proposition nationale ont été
invités à une séance de travail le 28 juillet 2010 (Annexe 10). Les travaux de finalisation de la proposition nationale
se sont déroulés à l’ONUSIDA du 28 juillet au 19 août 2010.
Une session de restitution des membres du CCM s’est tenue le 06 août 2010. Au cours de cette session, le projet de
proposition nationale a été présenté en détail aux membres du CCM.
Cette proposition nationale a été transmise à tous les membres du CCM en préparation de la réunion du 13 août
2010.
Lors de sa session du 13 août 2010, le CCM a procédé à l’adoption de la proposition nationale (Annexe 11)
(c) Décrire le processus suivi pour assurer l'implication d’acteurs autres que les membres du CCM (ou
sous-CCM) dans le processus d'élaboration de la proposition.  Expliquer le processus pour chaque
proposition maladie incluse dans la candidature
Dès le début du processus d'élaboration de la proposition, des consultations ont eu lieu avec des groupes les plus
exposés au VIH (PVVIH, TS, MSM, MARPs). Les MARPs ont identifié leurs priorités et stratégies d’interventions à
l’issue de réunions avec les experts nationaux et consultants internationaux de l’ONUSIDA. Des réunions séparées
ont eu lieu avec un groupe du Sud-ouest et les groupes MSM à Douala et Yaoundé (Alternative, Douala et Projet
Mesdine, Yaoundé) (Annexe 7bis).
Des séances de travail ont également eu lieu avec les cliniciens impliqués dans les Traitements Antirétroviraux ainsi
qu’avec les professionnels impliqués dans la gestion des achats et la chaîne d'approvisionnement afin de valider le
processus de quantification des ARV et des médicaments des infections opportunistes (Annexe 12).
Le CCM a mis en place un Comité d’élaboration de la proposition nationale sous la coordination technique de
l’ONUSIDA. Le Comité était composé des membres du CCM et des experts nationaux et consultants internationaux
constituant ainsi une équipe multisectorielle et pluridisciplinaire. Les personnes non-membres du CCM, mais
disposant d’une expertise dans l’un des domaines de la proposition ont apporté leur contribution à la rédaction. Les
non-membres du CCM ont pris part aux sessions de restitution de la proposition nationale les 06 et 13 août 2010.
Une délégation de 06 experts nationaux conduite par le Ministre de la Santé a participé à la réunion de Nairobi sur
le passage à l’échelle des programmes de PTME pour l’élimination virtuelle de la TME du VIH du 26 au 28 mai 2010.
Une délégation de 06 experts nationaux a participé à l’atelier Régional de lecture croisée des propositions pays pour
une revue par les pairs qui s’est tenue à Ouagadougou du 29 juin au 02 juillet 2010.
Ces réunions ont permis de mieux orienter les priorités nationales dans le cadre du Round 10.
Le projet de proposition du Cameroun a été soumis au comité régional JURTA de relecture qui s’est tenu à Dakar du
26 juillet au 04 août 2010. Une délégation de 03 membres du comité de rédaction de la proposition nationale a
échangé avec les membres du comité JURTA pour une meilleure intégration de commentaires.
Les drafts des propositions ont fait l’objet de relecture par les personnes ressources identifiées dans le secteur
universitaire et de la société civile (Annexe 13).

2.2.3 Processus de supervision de la mise en œuvre des programmes
(a)
Décrire le processus suivi pour assurer l'implication d’acteurs autres que les membres du CCM (ou
sous-CCM) pendant la supervision continue de la mise en œuvre des programmes
Avec l’appui de Grant Management Solution (GMS), des documents cadres régissant le fonctionnement du CCM :
statut, Manuel de procédure, un règlement intérieur, plan de gestion des conflits d’intérêts (Annexe 14, 15, 16, 17)
ont été élaborés. Ces documents ont été adoptés par le CCM en sa session du 13 août 2010 (Annexe 11).
Le Manuel de procédure prévoit la mise en place d’un Comité de supervision. Le mandat de ce comité est d’assurer
le suivi du programme au moins une fois par trimestre. La supervision de ce programme implique la mobilisation
d’une grande expertise y compris des non-membres du CCM.
Dans le cadre du présent programme, l’approche mission conjointe de supervision avec les autres Partenaires
Techniques et Financiers (PTF) et les représentants des populations cibles, non membres du CCM sera privilégiée
et planifiée en concertation avec ces derniers.
Les rapports et documents des différents acteurs de la lutte contre la maladie seront largement exploités.
Les personnes morales et physiques non membres du CCM, reconnues pour leur expertise seront officiellement
invitées du Président du CCM pour critiquer les rapports de supervision du Comité. Les rapports de mission seront
discutés avec les PRs, les PTF, le Gouvernement et la société civile. Le Comité de supervision, avant de faire son
rapport à l’Assemblée Générale du CCM pourra demander des clarifications aux PRs.
Cette supervision ne concerne pas seulement le VIH, elle couvrira également les programmes Paludisme et la
Tuberculose qui bénéficient déjà du financement du Fonds Mondial dans le cadre du Round 9.
(b)
Décrire le processus suivi par le CCM (ou sous-CCM) pour superviser la mise en œuvre des
programmes.
Le Manuel de procédure du CCM récemment adopté décrit le processus de supervision de la mise en œuvre du
Programme avec un comité de supervision et un calendrier annuel de supervision. Le suivi et évaluation des
programmes prévoit deux aspects : la gestion et les finances d’une part et les aspects programmatiques d’autre
part. Le comité de supervision est composé de personnes relevant des secteurs gouvernemental, non

Le CCM a tenu une session le 06 août 2010 dont l’un des points à l’ordre du jour était la sélection des
Récipiendaires Principaux et des Sous-Récipiendaires. La session a été ouverte au public, non membres du CCM
notamment les représentants des différents soumissionnaires (Annexe 19). Lors de cette session, le CCM a mis en
place 4 groupes de travail pour examiner la recevabilité des dossiers conformément aux critères contenus dans
l’appel d’offre. Après examen, chaque groupe a présenté son rapport en séance plénière, en présence des
représentants des soumissionnaires (Annexe 19). A l’issue de cette phase, une liste restreinte de candidats dont les
dossiers ont été jugés recevables a été validée par le CCM (Annexe 19). Les candidats aux postes de PR et sous
PR qui sont membres du CCM, n’ont pas pris part aux délibérations conformément aux dispositions du plan de
gestion des conflits d’intérêts. L’examen technique des documents a été confié à un groupe de partenaires technique
et financier membres du CCM sous la coordination de l’ONUSIDA ouvert à d’autres membres du CCM non candidat
aux postes de PR et SR. Le CCM a mandé le groupe d’élaborer, valider et utilisé une grille d’évaluation appropriée
des différentes offres.
Le Rapport de sélection des candidats aux fonctions de principal récipiendaire et Sous récipiendaire a été présenté

ROUND 10 – HIV
Committee for the Fight Against Aids develops actions plans that align with the fiscal year. The
launch of Round 10 corresponds to the 2nd quarter of the national fiscal cycle for 2011. The last
quarter of the implementation of the proposal will correspond to the 1st quarter of the fiscal
year for the year 2016.
The routine data (programmatic and financial) for the monitoring of PSN 2011-2015 are produced
monthly (district), quarterly (region), biannually and annually (central). The reporting for the proposal
which will start in July 2011 will be secured with the national reporting. As well, the evaluations in
year 2 (end of phase 1) and year 5 of the implementation of this proposal will provide useful
information for the mid-way and final evaluations of the national strategic plan planned during the
period.
(b) This proposal will align on one hand, with the surveys programmed into the framework of the
regular evaluation of the national programs, in particular the sentinel monitoring of HIV among
pregnant women, the bio-behavioural surveys in specific groups (SW and their customers, truck
drivers, MSM). On the other hand, the cycle for this proposal will correspond with the carrying
out of the EDS 2011 and 2015.
3.4 Summary of Round 10 Proposal
Provide a summary of the HIV proposal.
“Universal access for the PMTCT, the global care of PLWHA and the prevention of HIV among the
most exposed populations in Cameroon”.
Cameroon is faced with a generalized epidemic with a prevalence of 5.1% in the general population. It
is estimated that there are approximately 560,000 PLWHA in 2010 of which 58% are women, and 37.5
are young people less than 24 years old. The strategies developed have allowed 76,228 PLWHA to be
placed under treatment, or 30.6% of the eligible patients (at the end of 2009) with a survival rate of 5
years after the beginning of the treatment among the highest in the region, which shows the
importance of following these efforts (Appendix 1).
The analysis of the national response and the recent review of the National Strategic Plan (NSP)
2006-10 showed that these strategies did not sufficiently target the marginalized populations, the
most exposed and the most vulnerable (prevalence varying according to the regions from 28.5 to 48%
among the SW, 35% seropositivity among a group of MSM having had recourse to voluntary screening;
prevalence of 16.2% among truck drivers). As well, the new NSP 2011-15 places a particular
emphasis on these populations’ MARPs who are the motors of the epidemic while reinforcing the
gains of the national program. This will contribute to a reduction in morbidity and the mortality
related to HIV thanks to a decrease in new infections in the MARPs and in the general population and
an improvement of the quality of care for the PLWHA.
The NSP 2011-15 calls for universal access to the prevention, care, treatment and support; and
contributes to the attaining of OMD 4, 5 and 6 by way of the main following results:

The prevalence of HIV in the general population is stabilized and has started to reverse thanks
to the combined efforts to reduce the rate of MCT to less than 5% and the reduction by 50% of
the new infections in high risk groups.

The number of eligible adult and child patients placed on ARV treatment increased from 92,500
end December 2010 to 226,338 (80% of the eligible patients) by the end of 2015
Cameroon has benefitted from three Global Fund grants on HIV which have contributed to the
implementation of NSP 2006-2010. In addition to the commitments by the government and partners,
this proposal will contribute in a significant way, by way of 04 synergetic and additional goals, to the
implementation of the main priorities of NSP 2011-15 to attain the following results in 2015:

Prevalence is controlled in the general population and decreased among the MARPs;

The proportion of pregnant women who benefit from at least one PNC including the HIV test by
2015 has increased from 35 to 80% (from 333,386 to 859,655 pregnant women, or 70% of the
NSP target);

The proportion of seropositive pregnant women and their children who receive an ARV regime
2/101
ROUND 10 – HIV
to prevent MCT has increased respectively from 19% to 70% and from 16% to 70% in 2015
(57,167 HIV+ pregnant women and 57,167 newborns born of seropositive mothers in 2015, or
70% of the NSP target);

14,240 MSM, 39,440 SW and 148,800 truck drivers (or 80% of the NSP target) know their
serological status in 2015;

The proportion of adult and child PLWHA eligible for treatment has increased from 30.6% to
80% by 2015 (210,264 adults, of whom 22,868 are pregnant women, and 16,074 children);

20,000 orphans and vulnerable children per year have received at least the appropriate support
(or 25% of the NSP target).
Within the framework of this proposal, Cameroon has taken into account the TRP comments of Round 9
and programmatic and financial deficiency of the national strategic plan 2011-2015. Considering the
issues related to decentralization, and the gender and human rights dimension, this proposal revolves
around 04 goals and 07 objectives:
Goal 1: Reduce the new HIV infections among newborns by the prevention of the mother-child
transmission
Objective 1.1: Increase from 35 to 80%, the proportion of pregnant women who benefit from at
least one PNC including HIV screening by 2015.
Objective 1.2: Increase from 19% to 70%, the proportion of seropositive pregnant women and their
children who receive ARVs to prevent TME.
Objective 1.3: Increase from 16 to 70%, the proportion of exposed children tested for HIV (PCR) at
6 weeks by 2015.
The attaining of this goal will rely on the tight collaboration between the health system and the
community system, which together increase the social mobilization for access to services.
All of the seropositive HIV pregnant women received in PNC will be counselled and accompanied during
the pregnancy and childbirth, for the early diagnosis of the child, the observance of the taking of ARV
and cotrimoxazole. These women as well as the children born infected will receive ARV treatment and
will benefit from the counting of CD4 lymphocytes. This proposal aims to reinforce the technical
plateau of the laboratories and alleviates the deficiency in ARC and other inputs related to the
adoption of the PMTCT 2009 recommendations, with the application of option A, associated with a
Mother Baby Pack treatment. All of the HIV+ pregnant women having need of ARV treatment for their
own health will be oriented within the framework of the global care of adults.
Goal 2: Reduce the new HIV infections among SW and MSM and their partners
Objective 2.1: Ensure access to prevention services and the reduction of discrimination to 14,240
MSM, 39,440 SW and 148,800 truck drivers in the 10 regions by 2015.
Goal 2 and the attached objectives aims to reduce the new infections by HIV among the populations
the most exposed to risk particularly the SW, the MSM and the truck drivers by offering a package of
coherent and integrated interventions including: (i) the BCC, (ii) the promotion and the supply of
condoms and lubricating gels, (ii) the screening and syndromic care of STIs, (iv) counselling and HIV
screening, the care with ARV, (v) access to care and pyschosocial support as well as (vi) the fight
against stigma and discrimination. The interventions targeting the MARPs (mostly young population)
benefit indirectly an important fringe of young people.
The community actors for the reference centres for the SW and MSM and truck drivers will be trained
on the counselling and screening to accompany the populations the most exposed to risk in their steps
towards knowledge of serological status. The supply of HIV tests will allow the screening of these
populations via a set strategy in the partner health centres and an advanced strategy by the mobile
units in the locations where the targeted group lives and socializes.
Goal 3: Reduce the morbidity and mortality related to HIV as well as the socio-economic impact by
reinforcing the global care of adult and child PLWHA and the support to OVC by 2015
Objective 3.1: Ensure overall quality care to 80% of the eligible adult and child PLWHA by 2015
Objective 3.2: Reduce the impact of HIV/Aids among the OVC and the stigma and discrimination of
HIV
3/101
ROUND 10 – HIV
A total of 210,264 adults (of whom 22,868 are seropositive pregnant women) and 16,074 children will
benefit from 1st and 2nd line treatment in accordance with the national directive by 2015 in the 240
care structures (public, private, faith-based). The support for the observance by patients by way of
the continuity of care for the PLWHA in the community by civil society organizations.
This proposal intends to ensure the pre-therapeutic check-up for all people newly screened with a
dosage of CD4 lymphocytes and a monitoring check-up for the PLWHA on ARV. This Round 10 will
continue the integration efforts of the TB/HIV programs by contributing to the training of health
personnel, and reinforcing the coordination between the two programs.
As well, it will follow the global CM of the OVC by capitalizing on the acquisitions and experiences of
Round 3, by ensuring a complete package of services: psychosocial and legal support, school support,
medical support and a nutritional support involving the community-based associations.
Actions to reduce the stigma and discrimination related to HIV will be carried out at several locations
including business, health, public service and community locations.
Goal 4: Strengthen the coordination, monitoring evaluation and the partnership with civil society
in the context of the implementation of the proposal
Objective 4.1: Strengthen the coordination and monitoring evaluation system
In order to produce strategic information for better decision-making, studies on the mapping, biobehavioural surveys among the SW, MSM and truck drivers; as well as monitoring surveys among the
pregnant women, resistance to ARV, and studies on TB/HIV coinfection will be carried out.
The personnel in charge of monitoring and evaluation at the most peripheral level of the central
system will be strengthened in their numbers and capacities. Supervision activities will be carried out
regularly by way of planning and appropriate human and material resources.
This will also reinforce the capacities of actors in civil society and the private sector in the realization
of the objectives defined in this proposal. A particular emphasis will be placed on the institutional
reinforcement of instances of national coordination for an efficient partnership with all sectors.
This proposal will be implemented by two main recipients: the Ministry of Health for the public sector,
and CAMNAFAW for civil society.
The amount of this HIV proposal for Cameroon in Round 10 is estimated at 97,411,943 Euros and
represents 24.16% of all of the financial needs of NSP 2011-2015. In addition to the other costs
attached to the fight against HIV, the government contribution covers 50% to 60% of the costs of
the ARV.
4. PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
4.1 National program
Describe:
(a) current HIV national prevention, treatment, and care and support strategies;
(b) how these strategies respond comprehensively to current epidemiological situation in the country;
and
(c) the improved HIV outcomes expected from implementation of these strategies.
(a) With a prevalence of 5.1%, Cameroon, a country with lower average revenue, finds itself in a
context of a generalized epidemic. The total number of persons living with HIV (PLWHA) is
estimated in 2010 to be 560,300 of which 249,341 are eligible for treatment. This epidemic is
characterized by its feminization (58.2% are women vs 41.8% men). As well the young women
of 15-25 are more affected compared to young men (4.3% vs 1.2%). The impact of HIV is
significant: there are approximately 304,210 orphans and vulnerable children due to Aids
4/101
ROUND 10 – HIV
(Appendix 1.)
In response to this situation, the Government of Cameroon has made the fight against this scourge one
of its priorities in terms of development. This commitment has allowed within the framework of the
NSP 2006-2010 the placing on treatment of 76,228 PLWHA in December 2009 and increased the PMTCT
coverage to 99% of the Health Districts. This commitment is reinforced by the adoption of the
Strategic National Plan (SNP) for the fight against Aids 2011-2015, based on a multisectoral and
decentralized approach (Appendix 2). The R10 proposal arises out of this plan and is organized around
08 strategic axes based on results:
 Axis 1: Reinforcement of the prevention of the transmission of HIV and STIs
The interventions are based among others on the reinforcement of (i) the Prevention of the
Transmission of HIV from the Mother to the Child (PMTCT) with the view to virtually eliminate this
transmission, (ii) the prevention of HIV/Aids and the care of STIs in high risk groups (SW and their
customers, MS, Truck Drivers, etc.), (iii) the reinforcing of the counselling and screening for HIV, (iv)
reinforcement of the links between HIV services and sexual and reproductive health. The
implementation of the interventions combined with prevention will be made around the concept of
offering a “package of services” accessible in an equitable manner. As well, themes related to
reproductive health, violence towards women are taken into account in a way to reinforce the
efficiency of the prevention programs. In the context of the R10 proposal, the groups targeted for the
prevention are pregnant women and their infants, the populations the most exposed to risk (SW, MSM
and Truck Drivers) who have a seroprevalance at least 3 times higher than the prevalence in the
general population.
 Axis 2: Reinforcement of the access to care and treatments
In the context of the passage to the scale of the interventions, this axis aims to pursue the process of
decentralization of the offer of quality care and treatments by way of the operational implementation
of new structures and reinforcement of the existing ones for a global care for People Living with HIV
(PLWHA) in all of the health districts. This will allow on the one hand, an increase in the national
coverage and offer outreach services and other the other hand, to aim to attain the Millenium
Development Goals (MDG). The R10 will allow the offering of treatment and care to pregnant women
eligible for ART, children and infants, and adults with a therapeutic indication for ARV.
 Axis 3: Reinforcement of the support and protection of PLWHA, the OVC and persons
affected
The interventions aim especially to reduce the negative impact of HIV on these vulnerable groups and
to guarantee them equitable access to health, education and citizenship. For the PLWHA, this means
promoting their rights and obligations including in the workplace, and facilitating their access to other
services all while fighting against stigma and discrimination. Taking into account the weight of the
epidemic on the OVC, the R10 proposal will provide annual support to the OVC.
 Axis 4: Appropriation of the fight against HIV, Aids and the STIs by all actors
The efforts aim at effective implementation for a better appropriation of the fight by the different
actors. The strengthening of the capacities of the actors, the improvement of the provision of
coordination and monitoring of the sectoral interventions, as well as the reinforcement of the publicprivate partnership (PPP) will allow all of the actors to be involved (pubic, private and civil society).
 Axis 5: Reinforcement of the health system
The health system will be reinforced to support the efforts in favour of universal access to prevention,
to care/treatment and case management by improving the availability and quality of services. The
accent will be placed on the reinforcement of human resources capacities, the continuity of care, the
offer of palliative care for the PLWHA, from the national medication supply system and HIV inputs,
monitoring-evaluation, leadership and governance in the health sector. The R10 will allow the
reinforcement of the health system by the improvement of the provision of services by way of the
supply of equipment, the training of personnel, the extension of the service offering, supply of
medications and other inputs, etc.

ROUND 10 – HIV
 Axis 6 : Reinforcement of the community system
This strategic axis places the emphasis on the development of the capacities of community actors,
advocacy and civil society leadership, planning and the monitoring evaluation of community
interventions, governance and the partnership. The community system will be reinforced to ensure the
complementarity with the health system in order to guarantee the effectiveness and effectiveness of
the interventions. The reinforcement of the community system in the context of this R10 proposal will
allow implication of the community system and the private sector in the provision of the activities of
prevention, care and support.
 Axis 7: Strategic information
The Strategic Plan aims to reinforce the actual device which will allow the efficient production of
quality strategic information, in order to: (i) take account of the unrolling of the programmed
interventions by the different actors and of the mobilization and use of resources; (ii) orient the
decisions founded on a functional system of monitoring-evaluation, sentinel surveillance and
operational research, (iii) document the results obtained as far as the use and the quality of the
services offered and,(iv) document the effects and the impacts of the interventions on the general
population and the target groups of the program. To do this, this proposal will allow the carrying out
of surveys and studies, the reinforcement of the system of monitoring-evaluation and the production of
strategic information.
 Axis 8: Coordination, partnership and management
This axis aims to reinforce the partnership between the public, the private and civil society, with the
goal to ensure the complementarity of the interventions. A particular emphasis will be placed on the
mobilization of national resources by way of the implementation of innovative mechanisms for the
mobilization of financing following the example of the partnership with the private sector and mutual
health insurance companies. In matters of management, the principles of good governance and
management based on the results will be applied in order to rationalize the cost of the interventions
and will lead to the effective and efficient use of the resources.
(b) These strategies will allow by way of the reinforcement of the public-private partnership,
the health systems and the community to make accessible and available the prevention
services, the care and the support for all of the population in urban and rural zones. The
targeting of the interventions towards vulnerable persons and the persons most exposed to risk
will encourage the changing of behaviours, for example the delaying of the age of the first
sexual relationship among young people, the systematic use of condoms, lubricating gel by the
SW and their customers, as well as the MSM. As well, these strategies will allow on one hand
the increase in the use of screening services and care of cases of HIV and STI and on the other
hand, the frequentation of Prenatal Consultation (PNC) services including maternal and infant
health. The offer of PMTCT service will allow reinforcement of the prevention of new
infections among women of procreating age, to provide the prophylaxis ARC to seropositive
pregnant women and their infants in order to reduce the risks of transmission from mother to
child of HIV. The reduction of violence towards women (rapes, sororat and levirate..), of the
discrimination and stigma towards people infected and affected as well as the taking into
account of the gender and human rights aspects encouraging the improvement of equitable
access to services. The comprehensive PMTCT will have an impact not only on the feminization
but also on the juvenilization of the epidemic; it will contribute to the reduction of maternal
and infantile mortality related to HIV/Aids.
The treatment will decrease morbidity and mortality especially maternal and infantile related
to HIV/Aids and contribute also to the protection of the general population and to an increase
in productivity.
The support to OVC and persons affected will allow the impact of the infection to be reduced
and will lessen the vulnerability related to HIV.
Making strategic information available will allow the progress made to be evaluated, the impact of the
interventions on the recipients and will facilitate also decision-making in order to ensure a quality of
services and a complete coverage of national needs.

ROUND 10 – HIV
(c) Improvement of the expected results by the implementation of the national strategy
In terms of the implementation of the national strategic plan 2011-2015, the following main results will
be attained:
Prevention:
 The prevalence of HIV in the general population is stabilized and starts to reverse thanks to the
combined effect of the virtual elimination of MCT to less than 5% and the reduction by 50% of
the new infections in the high risk groups.
- The proportion of persons having carried out their screening test for HIV (men and women)
goes from 13% to 60% between 2011 and 2015.
- The proportion of SW who know their HIV serological status goes from 64.1% to 90%.
- 75% of the MSM have correct knowledge of HIV and the STI and SSR
- The rate of use of condoms during their last risky sexual relationship among young women and
men aged 15-24 years of age goes to 80%
- 90% of the MSM state they used a condom during their last risky sexual relationship.
Overall care:
- The number of eligible adults and children placed on ARV treatment increases from 92,500 at the
end of December 2010 to 226,338 (80%) of the patients by the end of 2015.
- 80% of the PLWHA (adults and children) and 55% of the OVC have a better quality of life because of
the increase in their access to care services, treatments and support.
Within the specific context of the R10 proposal, the results attained are:
 The proportion of pregnant women who benefit from at least one CPN including the HIV test by
2015 increases from 35 to 80%;
 The proportion of seropositive pregnant women and their children who receive ARC
medications to prevent MCT goes respectively from 19% to 70% and from 16% to 70% in 2015.;
 The overall quality care for the adult and child PLWHA with therapeutic indication goes from
30.6% to 80% by 2015. Round 10 will provide 50% of the financing for the costs of the ARV, the
other half being taking into account by the Government of Cameroon.
 14,240 MSM, 39,440 SW and 148,800 truck drivers (or 80% of the target) know their serological
status by 2015;
All of these results will contribute to the reduction of the morbidity and mortality related to HIV
thanks to the decrease in new infections in the population and an improvement of access to prevention
services, care and support.
Clarified 4.2 (b)
4.2 Epidemiological profile of target populations
(a) Describe the current epidemiological profile of the target populations, and how this profile is changing
with respect to HIV.
As much as the epidemic has generalized, there are very exposed populations in Cameroon and at very
high prevalence who because of their sexual behaviour and practices, play a large role in the progression
of the epidemic. In relation to the epidemiological data, particularly the prevalence of HIV which is very
high, the persistence of the exposure to risks and the vulnerability factors, the following populations have
been targeted in this proposal. This is the case for the SW, MSM, and truck drivers with the respective
prevalence of HIV at 36%, 35% (rate of seropositivity), and 16.2%. Because of the fact that the epidemic
affects particularly the young, they are not specifically targeted, because they benefit indirectly from
the interventions in the direction of the SW, MSM, Truck drivers, pregnant women, etc… Because of their
increased vulnerability, pregnant women and infants, the PLWHA and the OVC are also targeted in this
proposal.
7/101
ROUND 10 – HIV
Pregnant women and infants:
In Cameroon, the health indicators for mother and infant indicate that the synthetic rate of fertility is 5.0
children per woman and the gross birth rate is 37.8 for 1000 individuals (EDS III, 2004; pp 66 and 62;
Appendix 3); the rates of infant and juvenile mortality are respectively 87 per 1000 and 149 per 1 00 live
births. Maternal mortality is 1000 for 100,000 live births (Sectoral Health Strategy 2001-2015, Appendix
4) and the neonatal mortality is 30 per 1,000 live births. The proportion of pregnant women who state
having consulted a health agent during pregnancy is 82%. The routine program data reveals that at the
end of 2009, 35% of the pregnant women were received in PNC in the health facilities offering PMTCT.
According to MICS III, 2007, 98.1% of the women breastfed their newborns; however the exclusive rate of
material breastfeeding of infants of 0-5 months is 21%, and 35% of infants aged 0-11 months are
adequately fed following recommendations (Appendix 5).
In 2010, PLWHA are estimated at 560,306 of which 58.2% (326,278) are women; 12% (73,750) of these are
pregnant women (Appendix 1). At the end of 2009, the prevalence of HIV among pregnant women aged
15 to 49 years of age was 7.6%; in the age categories, 15 to 19 years of age and 20-24 years of age, there
were respectively 5.1% and 7.8%. This seroprevalance is not uniformly distributed in the 10 regions of the
country, and between the rural and urban zones. The seroprevalance of Syphilis among pregnant women
is 0.5%. Twenty-three percent of the women surveyed stated having used a modern contraceptive
method before the actual pregnancy and 85% stated that they were favourable for the participation in the
PMTCT program (VIH Sentinel Surveillance Report Among Pregnant Women, 2009; Appendix 6). AIDS is
one of the major causes of mortality and of maternal morbidity and also represents the first cause of
mortality among adults (women or men) in the country. The targeting of pregnant women will allow the
young girls in this group to be reach and to influence the feminization but all the juvenilization of the
epidemic; it will contribute to the reduction of the maternal and infant mortality related to HIV/Aids.
The number of new infection of HIV is estimated at 7349 for children less than one year old. These
infants contract the infection mainly by mother-child transmission and represent 91.9% of the new
infections estimated in the country among those younger than 05 years (NAC. Profile Estimate Reports
2010-2010; Appendix 1).
The reduction of new infections among women and the risk of transmission of HIV from the mother to the
infant will contribute to the reaching of the ODM 4, 5 and 6 in the country. As well all of the
interventions which will take place during this Round 10 in the areas of PMTCT and paediatric care will
definitely have an impact on the overall improvement of maternal and infant health.
Sex workers (SW)
The Sew Workers are a priority group for this Round 10 proposal, with respect to the particularly high
prevalence in this group. In effect, the mapping of the 447 sites distributed around the country is
characterized by a strong mobility of the sex workers (Mapping Report of Sex Workers, Appendix 7). This
group is mainly young; 45.2% of the SW surveyed were between 15-24 years old. This prevalence reaches
72.8% for the section from 15-29 years of age. Those of the young aged 20-24 years was 33% for a survey
of 994 TS. The rate of seroprevalance in this groups went from 26.5% in 2004 (NAC Enquiry Report on
specific groups, 2004, Appendix 8) to 36% in 2010 (Sero-epidemiological and behaviour enquiry report on
HIV and syphilis among SW, John Hopkins, Appendix 9). This prevalence varies from 28.5% (in the central
region) to 48% ( in the region of Adamaoua).
The rate of seroprevalance of HIV in relation to the age bands reveals a juvenilization of the infecting in
this group. As well, in the band 15-19 years, this rate was 18.8%, 29.7% in the band 20-24 years and
39.5% in that of 25-29 years. The seroprevalance of syphilis is 18%. The same survey reveals that during
the last three months preceding the study, 63.3% of the SW did not take part in an awareness session;
18.1% had never done a screening test for HIV and 52.2% only had systematically used the condom with
their paying sexual partners, regular or occasional. In the case of STI, 18.8 of the SW questioned stated
having recourse to a public or private health centre, and 14.5 to self medication. The targeting of this
group will reach a fringe of young people whose clients are also found among the young.
Men having sexual relations with men (MSM)
8/101
ROUND 10 – HIV
MSM are an emerging phenomenon in Cameroon and which remains essentially urban and concentrated in
certain cities such as Yaoundé, Douala, Kribi, Limbè, Bafoussan, Garoua and Ngaoundéré. The study
carried out on the factors associated with unprotected anal relations among 168 MSM in Daoula,
Cameroon indicate that the stigmatism, penalization and the reject of this group are the main factors
that prevent them from accessing and receiving essential prevention and care services for HIV (E. Henry,
F. Marcelin, Y. Yomb et al. Factors associated with unprotected anal intercourse among men who have
sex with men in Douala, Cameroon 2009, appendix 10). On the other hand, the lack of prevention
interventions combining information, social and legal support, support for strengthening self esteem,
prevention and the care of STI is enough of a context to increase their risk of exposure to HIV.
The same study showed that close to half of the members had had bisexual relationships in the six (06)
months preceding the study. It remains that 65% of the MSM reported having had at least 02 different
sexual partners during the last 06 months. It also remains that 45% do not know their serological status,
57.7% declared having already been beneficiaries and/or actors of HIV/AIDS prevention actions. The
median age of this group is 23 years old and the first anal sexual contact occurs at the age of 16-19. In
2009, the activity report of the NGO CAMNAFAW revealed that of 133 MSM tested for HIV, 35% were
seropositive. The discussions with the intervening actors with this group reveal the importance of the use
of communication information and technologies (CIT) as main tools of communication and exchange
between the members. This population with a high risk of exposure also makes up one of the priorities of
the Round 10 proposal by way of integrated prevention programs.
The Truck Drivers:
Epidemiological data for 2004 reveals a rate of prevalence of HIV of 16.2% in this group (NAC, 2004,
Appendix 8). As far as prior Sexually Transmitted Infections (STI), 17.7 of truck drivers state having had
an STI during the last twelve months prior to the survey (CARE Cameroon, 2005; Appendix 11). The
survey carried out in 2008 by OCEAC/PPSAC with the same groups reveals that only 28% of truck drivers
have a complete knowledge of HIV/Aids and 50% don’t consider themselves to be at risk of contracting
HIV. On the other hand, only 45% have done the HIV screening test and received results during the last 12
months preceding the survey. During the same period, the average number of sexual partners was 2.27
among truck drivers and 4.47 among their occasional sexual partners made up of primarily the SW. 40%
of the truck drivers and 73% of their partners had had risky sexual relations, but only 22% of the truck
drivers and 23.4 of their partners declared having used a condom on that occasion (OCEAC/PPSAC,
Enquiry report on the evaluation of PPSAC project indicators, 2008, Appendix 12).
Persons living with HIV
With a prevalence of 5.1% in the general population, the number of PLWHA is estimated at 560,300 in
Cameroon in 2010 of whom 58% are women, 18.2 are young people aged 15-24 years of age and 19.3%
aged less than 15 years of age (Appendix 1). This population is also a priority retained in the Round 10
framework.
Based on the recent eligibility criteria for ARV defined by the WHO (CD4˂350), 249,341 PLWHA are
eligible for treatment in 2010, or 44.5% of all of the estimated PLWHA. However, only 76,228 PLWHA, or
30.6% of the eligible patients were put on ARV treatment at the end of 2009 (NAC, Annual Report 2009,
Appendix 13). The profile of patients on ARV indicated that 67% are women and 33% are men. On the
other hand, 4% of the PLWHA on ARV are infants.
Tuberculosis is the main cause of mortality among the PLWHA. In 2008, 217 functional CDT allowed the
screening of 16,144 people ill with tuberculosis or 45% of the 35,000 estimated tuberculosis patients.
Among these, 6,515 were screened positive for HIV and cared for with ARV in the UPEC/CTA. This
corresponds to a coinfection TV/HIV of 40.4% (Appendix 14).
Orphans and vulnerable Children:
9/101
ROUND 10 – HIV
In 2010, the number of deaths related to HIV is estimated at 34,478 and 33,737 in 2015. This mortality
weighs down considerably the burden of the epidemic which also leads to an increase in the number of
OVC. In effect, the estimates show that the number of children infected or affected by HIV and Aids
increases from one year to the next. According to the estimates, this number will go from 304,210 (25.3%
of all of the orphans for all causes together) in 2010 to 350,644 (27.2%) in 2015 (Appendix 1).

Major constraints and gaps in disease, health, and community systems
4.3.1 HIV program
Describe:
(a) the main weaknesses in the implementation of current HIV strategies;
(b) existing gaps and inequities in the delivery of services to target populations; and
(c) how these weaknesses affect achievement of planned national HIV outcomes.
Despite the advances and considerable results, the implementation of strategies in the fight against
aids in Cameroon, evaluated during the Strategic National Plan (SNP) for the fight against Aids 20062011 (Appendix 5), allowed us to place the emphasis on the weaknesses in the areas of prevention,
therapeutic care and support, of the community mobilization as well as in terms of coordination nod
monitoring/evaluation. These main weaknesses in the implementation of actual strategies which were
at the base of the elaboration of the new SNP 2011-2015, are presented as follows:
In terms of Prevention of new infections:
(a)
Main weaknesses
- Weakness in the targeting of interventions, more particularly in so far as concerns the groups the
most exposed to the risk of HIV (SW, MSM, Truck drivers). Effectively, these groups are difficult to
reach because of the fact of the socio-cultural context in the country. On the other hand, the
working standards towards these groups are not yet harmonized as well as much as the
capitalization of the interventions are not efficient. Thus, numerous interventions were mainly
destined for the general population, leaving behind some of the groups the most at risk such as the
SW, MSM, Truck drivers, etc. The fact that the majority of the interventions concerns the general
population, the populations the most exposed to risk have not be subject of studies allowing
strategic information to be generated to orient specific actions.
- Weak use of counselling and screening services which has only allowed testing of 1.8 million
people between 2006 and 2009, or 13.6% of the population aged 15 and older (Report on the review
of the National Strategic Plan for the Fight Against AIDS 2006-2010. Appendix 16), which is far
from the objective of 75% set for 2010;
- Weakness in the CPN coverage: the non harmonized and high costs of the CPN services (going
from 1.5 to 15 Euros), birthing in some health facilities as much public, private as faith-based could
be a brake to the accessibilities of CPN services. This situation is accentuated by a lack of
information within the communities which translates into an under utilization of the services both
for pregnant women and their spouses;
- Qualitative and quantitative insufficiency of services in the health system and the community
system: only 57% of women seen in PMTCT benefit from ARV prophylactics of whom a high number
are lost sight of in PMTCT;
-Weak implementation of the strategy for screening counselling on the initiative on the initiative of
the services provider (DCIP) has had the consequence of a weak integration of the screen services
13/101
ROUND 10 – HIV
in the health facilities (SR/PMTCT, SMI);
- Weakness in the offer of screening services in the advanced strategy inherent to insufficiencies in
human resources and a lack of logistical means in certain zones and in the direction of the groups
of the population most exposed to risk.
(b) Disparities and inequities
- The urban locations benefit from more interventions and offers of services than the rural areas
(weak offer of services for counselling and screening in the rural locations, weak quality of care for
TARV, weak access to male and female condoms,)(Review of the Strategic National Plan for the
Fight Against AIDS 2006-2010. Appendix 16).
- 21% of the health facilities recognized don’t offer PMTCT.
- The delay in the delivery of blood samples (taken on blotting paper) to the reference
laboratories, the resulting output and the placing on treatment of infants remains very long (34 to
55 days). The delay of the output results of the screening is long with an average of 2 days in some
sites

c) Consequences
- Because of the fact that the populations the most exposed to HIV have not been sufficiently targeted
for the prevention and care, this has had the consequence a rate of seropositivity and prevalence very
high representing one of the motors of the epidemic in Cameroon. Thus the strategy choice has been
made in the strategic national plan 2011-2015 and in this proposal showing the important that the
country gives to the reduction of new infections (know your epidemic).
- Only 19% of seropositive pregnant women expecting and 16% of the infants born of seropositive
mothers benefited from a prophylactic regime in 2009;
- Only 57% of those who are followed by the PMTCT program receive ARV prophylactics.
- The coverage of early diagnosis of children born to seropositive mothers is weak at 17% in only 92
health facilities out of 2569 representing a geographical coverage of 4.5% (NAC Annual Report, 2009.
Appendix 13).
In the area of treatment, care and support.
(a)

Main weaknesses
The active file for patients on ARV at the end of 2009 is 76,228 (3114 children and
73114 adults) representing 49.5% of the PLWHA eligible for treatment (NAC. Activity Report
2009, Appendix 13). By taking into account the new WHO recommendations of December 2009,
this figure indicates a coverage of 30.6% of the eligible persons. This weak coverage can be
explained by the following elements: (i) Only 56% of the health districts (100/178) had a
14/101
ROUND 10 – HIV
structure for care of the PLWHA at the end of 2009 (NAC. Activity Report 2009, Appendix 13);
(ii) the insufficient number of biomedical equipment, (iii) the qualitative and quantitative
insufficiency of human resources involved in the PEC medical, the psychological and social
accompaniment aiming for proper observance of treatment and the promotion of good
nutritional practices and secondary prevention, (iv) Weak accessibility to biological statements
by the PLWHA, making adequate care for patients on ARV: the experience of Round 3 showed
that despite the subsidization of biological examinations, only 48% of the persons on ARV had
done biological monitoring tests. (v) the embryonic state of the care continuum between the
health structures and the community, (vi) the insufficiency of the TB diagnostics among HIV
patients related to the diagnostic difficulties due to a deficit in capacities at the appropriate
technical level, (vii) weakness of the implementation of the UPEC tutorat by the ACT;

Weaknesses related to care and support are significant, the weak implication of
community actors in the continuum of care, insufficiency of the support for OVC (only 25% of
the OVC benefited from support (Strategic National Plan 2011-2015, Appendix 2);

Insufficient involvement of the private sector in prevention and the care of their
employees, families and surrounding communities in their zone of implantation.
(b)
Disparities and inequities
- The overall offering of services of care for the PLWHA is more developed in the urban
environment than in the rural environment
-Patients have difficulties with respect to geographical access in certain care structures in the rural
zone, which increases the number of those lost from sight
- The care for HIV infection among children has been initiated late which has had the consequence
of insufficiency of access to care for children living with HIV.
(c)
Consequences
- As much has Cameroon has a significant active file of patients on ARV at the end of 2009 for
76,228 (3114 children and 73114 adults) which represents 49.5% of the PLWHA eligible for
treatment (NAC. Activity Report 2009, Appendix 13). The taking into account of WHO
recommendations will bring this coverage to 30.6% of the eligible persons which indicates the
importance of the efforts remaining to be carried out. It is the same for the biological monitoring
which indicates that 48% of the PLWHA on ARV benefitted from biological monitoring test.
- Those lost from sight are estimated to be between 10 to 40% of the active files. This translates
the fact that the continuum of care is insufficiently ensured in terms of quality and of geographical
coverage. There is also a weakness of community relay agents (APC) who intervene as an interface
between the care structures and the communities.
- As far as the OVC, the stated weaknesses have had the consequence of an insufficiency of the
taking into account of the issues specific to OVC: school, medical and psychological, nutritional
support etc…
Concerning strategic information and the coordination of interventions
(a)
Main weaknesses
- The unavailability of quality data and information which is due notably to non-appropriate
planning, irregular supervision and the inadequacy of data collection. The personnel not being
trained enough and motivated to ensure a regular collection of data.
- The weakness in the implementation of epidemiological surveillance, surveillance of resistance,
research on HIV and insufficient use of the resulting in decision-making and planning;
- Monitoring/evaluation and coordination: the weak level of control and the monitoring of the
implementation, despite the existence of program coordination structures at all levels (central,
regional and communal) is also due to weak planning and an absence of financial resources
allocated to this aspect. Also added to this are deficiencies in coordination between the different
actors of the community and health systems.
- Weakness in the information system: the lack of functionality of the information system between
15/101
ROUND 10 – HIV
the services explains the weak traceability of data concerning women and children coming from
PMTCT and placed under TARV. As well, these difficulties are also found in the community
structures offering the activities of CPN/PMTCT and the activities of the groups most exposed to
risk.
(b) Disparities and inequities
The insufficiency in the collection and analysis of strategic data does not allow the taking into
account on the one hand of the most vulnerable populations for the ones the most exposed to risk,
and on the other hand their needs or specific expectations. This constitutes an inequity in the
management of information and decision-making.
c) Consequences
Planning and budgeting suffer from a lack of information based on tangible facts, which does not allow
pertain decisions to be taken vis-à-vis the populations the most exposed to risk, the PLWHA, the
pregnant women, etc. with regards to their context.

ROUND 10 – HIV
4.3.2
Health Systems
Describe the main weaknesses of and/or gaps in health systems that affect HIV outcomes.
The national health system in Cameroon is organized on three levels. Each level has administrative and
technical structures with specific functions. The central level has the role of elaborating policies and
strategies, coordination and regulation; the intermediate or regional level ensures technical support to
the health districts; the peripheral or operation level has the responsibility for the implementation of
programs. The health system has 178 health districts, 1600 health zones distributed among 10 Regions
in which there are 2569 health structures of which 76% are public, 17% private secular and 7% private
faith-based. The HIV program has 140 structures (23 ACT and 117 UPEC) which ensure the overall care
of the PLWHA.
Weakness of the health system which affect the results in terms of HIV are found at the level of 6
areas:
Provision of services: In Cameroon, close to 14% of the health districts don’t have operational district
hospitals. The territorial coverage in health structures offering PMTCT, screening and structures
certified for care of the PLWHA do not allow universal access of the enclaved populations to
prevention, care, treatment and support. This last insufficiency is accentuated by the weak
involvement of the private sector and civil society in the national response to HIV.
Medications, vaccinations and technologies: the insufficient logistical management of medications
and related products is noted at the decentralized level, more particularly in the regions of the East
(Bertoua) the Extreme North (Maroua) because of the difficulties of road access (inadequate estimates
of the needs, storage and distribution conditions…)
The absence of qualified personnel (pharmacist) at the central level (CNLS) for the coordination of
management activities (forecasting, quantification) for medications and inputs and the absence of
capacity strengthening for the actors involved in the management chain for medications exposed to
risks of rupture of inventories at all levels of the SYNAME. As well, there is also insufficiency and
antiquity of the equipment in the health facilities, particularly the care structures, accentuated by the
absence of a system of maintenance.
Health Information: the health information system is characterized by the weak capacity of the units
to manage the data within the health structures leading to a weak promptitude and completeness of
routine data. There is also an irregularity in the collection of information on the HIV infection
tendencies among certain specific groups (sex workers, mean having sexual relations with men) and a
weak coordination of the research, hindering the use of all of the data generated. There is not reliable
information on the cost/benefits reports on the programs for the fight against HIV/Aids. The weak use
of the strategic information available does note facilitate strategic decision-making adapted to the
epidemiological context.
Human resources: in the context of the care of PLWHA, the workload expressed in the form of a
health personnel ratio in the population is very high: doctors: 1/13 468, medical-health personnel: 1/3
094, surgeons dentists: 1/105 882 (Sectoral Strategy for Health, Appendix 4). The personnel of the
different sectors are weakly prepared to offer HIV services (prevention and overall care), this area not
being integrated into the curricula of the initial training.
In addition, ongoing training does not cover all of the needs, particularly for the PMTCT and the care of
PLWHA including paediatric CM. This explains the implementation of the concept of guardianship. The
weakness of the motivation of the personnel aggravates this quantitative and qualitative deficit which
is more marked in the rural locations. This situation influences the quality of the offering of the
preventions services, treatment, care nod support and leads inevitably to a “burn out”.
Financing: more than three quarters of the expenses in health are supported directly by households
(Sectoral Health Strategy Appendix 4). 50.6% of the Cameroon population lives belong the poverty
level (ECAM III Appendix 17) and as a consequence the majority of the population does not access the
offerings of health services including HIV. As well, the financing of the health sector in Cameroon
remains below 15% of the national budget between 2001 and 2006 (PSN Evaluation 2006-2010 Appendix
16). As far as financing for the fight against aids, there is involvement of the Government in the
financing of ARV costs (50%). However, it remains strongly dependent on external support.
17/101
ROUND 10 – HIV
4.3.3
Community Systems
Describe the main weaknesses of and/or gaps in community systems that affect HIV outcomes.
The participation of the community system is based on a collaboration and a complementarily between
the structures of the health system and the organisms of the community system (NGO, the Associations
or Community Groups, the faith-based organizations, the private sector, etc…) The main actors in this
area are: (i) the CHW attached to CM structures and (ii) the VS, Peer Educators (PE) or health
mediators attached to the OBC the activities of the OBC are focussed on promotion,
information/counselling and the mobilization for the use of the health services. The CHW lead the
following activities: (i) psychological and social monitoring of the PLWHA (under ARV treatment or
not); (ii) assistance for treatment observance by way of therapeutic education and counselling in the
health facilities; (ii) research and reintegration of those lost from view in the active file of the health
facilities; (iv) running discussion groups, (v) nutritional education. A mechanism for monitoring
interventions and for collecting data allows information from the community system to be captured.
However, weaknesses exist at different levels:
Weakness in the enabling environment and advocacy
Advocacy is not sufficiently taken into account in the implementation of interventions by Communitybased organizations and Organizations of Civil Society. This is due to an insufficiency of skills of some
actors, insufficiency of the documentation for interventions and the deficit in leadership. There is also
a weakness of consultation and of coordination noted between the organizations and the civil society
actors.
Efforts carried out in matters of the protection of the rights associated with HIV remain insufficient.
Stigmatization and discrimination are recurrent and are an obstacle for the prevention of new
infections, access to care services and support for the ill (PPSAC report 2008).
Weaknesses in Community coordination, networks, links and partnerships
The absence of a formal coordination structure for the CHO leads to overlap in the implementation
and non rational use of the available resources, which as a consequence the insufficiency of the
coverage of needs of the national response.
The weak involvement of the private sector (formal and informal) in the national response to the
fight against HIV has as a consequence an insufficiency of coordination between the public, private and
community sectors. Despite the efforts deployed by the Government, coalitions of businesses and
certain partners in the in the promotion of the public-private partnership, the results remain below the
potentialities of the sector, because of the absence of operational mechanisms to ensure the
implementation of the partnership.
Weaknesses in Resources and capacities
The weaknesses of organizational capacities. The organizational insufficiency of certain associations
has had as a consequence the weak involvement of the CHO in the development of policies and
strategies as well as in the implementation of interventions.
Weakness in the strategic approach. The interventions implemented by these organizations are not
specific enough and put the accent on the project approach to the detriment of a program approach
which is part of the strategic plan.
The Weakness in mobilization, administrative and financial management. The CHO don’t always
have a real strategy for the mobilisation of resources. There are no procedure manuals and
administrative management tools, financial management and rendering of accounts. This leads to an
inadequacy of the allocation of resources with respect to needs. This also influences their capability to
implement interventions for the PLWHA, care and protection of the MARPs (Appendix 11).
Weakness in logistics. Some organization lack logistical resources (operating equipment, computer
equipment, etc.)
Weakness in human resources is observed in the context of the offering of prevention, care and
support services for the PLWHA and the groups most exposed to risk and vulnerable. This translates
into insufficient numbers of people, leading to a full time use of volunteers with limited technical skills
(Appendix 11).
18/101
ROUND 10 – HIV
Weakness in the diversification of the offer of prevention, care and support services
We observe little specialization in the targeted interventions; on the other hand the package of
interventions delivered for a given target is often incomplete and the programmed interventions are
not often based on real analysis of the situation. As well, these interventions remain general and don’t
specifically address the preoccupations of these targets in terms of legal assistance for issues of
stigmatization and discrimination related to these groups (Appendix 18). This would also allow this
populations to have access to targeted prevention interventions, to know their serological status and
they have available equitable access to care and treatment.
Weaknesses of Monitoring evaluation and planning
The weak capacity of the community system to report and analyze data does not allow decision-making
based on evidence. The insufficiency of the supervisions of the organization of Civil Society in the
implementation of the interventions limits the performance of their actors and the capitalization of
acquisitions (Appendix 11).
4.3.4 Efforts to resolve weaknesses and gaps
Describe what is being done, and by whom, to respond to health and community system weaknesses
and gaps that affect HIV outcomes, as outlined in sections 4.3.2 and 4.3.3.
To respond to these weaknesses and deficiencies affecting the results in the matter of the fight against
HIV, measures have been taken, as follows:
(i)
Concerning the health system
The operational unit for the care of the ARV and the Health District (HD). The placement on ARV
treatment is carried out in specialized structures, notably the Care Units (UPEC) in the public, faithbased and private hospitals, and the Accredited Treatment Centres (CTA) at the level of the central,
regional and Company private hospitals of the country. The framing of the UPEC in the care of patients
on ARC is carried out by tutelage system developed since 2004 with the decentralization of care. The
CTA which are structures with personal and a high performance technical platform serve as reference
structures. They ensure the assurance/quality of the services offered by their subsidiaries, in the
context of the overall care of the PLWHA, by way of training on site, supervision, the establishment in
networks, internships for the UPEC agents in the CTA.
Health system:
1.
Provision of services

The government by way of the Ministry of health has always maintained its contribution for
the financing of ARC, medications for opportunistic infections, equipment and reagents for
the biological examinations, as well as a good use of the PPTE funds oriented towards the
sector of public health.

The construction and rehabilitation of the District Hospitals and the Health Centres by the
Government with support of the Partners (Islamic Development Bank, Development
Disindebtedness Contract (C2D(Health), African Development Bank), which has allowed
among other things to bring the PMTCT, prevention and CM services to the populations.

The start-up of support activities in the health facilities for the implementation of an
internal quality assurance system for HIV diagnosis in collaboration with CDC/GAP (Global
AIDS Program) and WHO to improve the quality of screening;

The implementation of a national quality assurance system for HIV diagnosis in
collaboration with CDC/GAP (Global AIDS Program) and WHO to improve the quality of
screening.

The TB/HIV activities in the prison setting by GTZ in the context of prevention and
treatment interventions for tuberculosis and screening for HIV.

The implementation of Round 3, 4 and 5 interventions on HIV, Round 3 and 9 on
Tuberculosis as well as 3, 5 and 9 for malaria have allowed and/or will allow important
realizations in these areas: reinforcement of the health system (care and laboratories),
reinforcement of capacities and rehabilitation of the CDT. This has led to the obtaining of
19/101
ROUND 10 – HIV
significant progress in the areas of PMTCT, SMI, care of PLWHA, the reduction of morbidity
and mortality related to the three diseases.
2.
Human Resources

The recruitment by the Ministry of Health and the making available of health facilities of
4421 health personnel of all categories on PPTE funds and C2D (France) to improve the
health services offering including those related to HIV. The recruitment of 508 community
health workers (CHW) in the community-based organizations such as the Associations of
Persons Living with HIV and the making available of health facilities in the context of
Round 3 and 1500 community volunteers by Round 4 to ensure the continuum of care.

The establishment by the Ministry of Public Health in collaboration with OMS, ESTHER and
the French Cooperation (C2D) of a Policy of guardianship of the UPEC by the CTA since
2007, allowing to train, in complementarity with Round 10, the newly recruited personnel,
actualize knowledge and accompany the new structures in the operationalization of
services and programs.

The progressive training by the Ministry of Health of 3625 health agents (medical,
paramedical) and 1371 community agents on the aspects of prevention and care for HIV
infection including the management of medications.

The signing of an agreement between the Ministry of Health and the Ministry of Secondary
Education for the training of maintenance agents for health equipment including CD4 and
PCR devices.
3.
Medications, vaccinations and technology

4.
A technical coordination cell for the supply of HIV inputs which brings together the CNLS,
the Pharmaceutical Product Branch, the Department for the fight Against the Disease, the
Clinton Foundation, CENAME, ESTHER, WHO, UNICEF and USAID, has been put in place to
ensure the planning of medication needs.
Health information

5.
The establishment with OMS since 2007 of the surveillance program for resistances to ARV
allowing useful information for the choice of therapeutic protocols to be available
Financing

A system of mutualisation is in process of experimentation in the northern regions intends
to cover the health expenses related to PNC, birth and Caesareans with the assistance of
the French Cooperation.

The development of the public private partnership has led with the support of BIT to the
establishments of care services for PLWHA in companies (CDC, HEVECAM, ALUCAM, PHP,
SOCUCAM, CIMENCAM etc.) expanded to the surrounding communities. This partnership is
reinforced by the signing in March 2010 of an agreement framework between the Ministry
of Health and the employers’ association (GICAM) in order to promote co-investment in the
fight against HIV\aids.
Community system
1.
2.
The enabling environments and advocacy

Enabling environments and advocacy. The actions put in place consist of (i) the
restructuring of the network of associations of PLWHA since 2008 and the establishment in
2009 of a Taskforce of actors of Civil Society involved in AIDS who mandate is to put in
place “The Coalition of Civil Society of Cameroon against HIV/Aids” with the support of
UNAIDS and PNUD; and (ii) the establishment of sectoral networks: private sector
platforms (CCA-AIDS, CFBC), Alliance of Mayors and Municipal Authorities for the fight
against HIV/aids, the Coordination group section Operational Partners (GCOP).

Community experience aiming to involve men in the frequentation of SR/PMTCT services
“men as partners” has been led in the North-West with support from UNICEF.
Community coordination, networks, links and partnerships
20/101
ROUND 10 – HIV

3.
Resources and capacities

As far as resources and capacities, several initiative were put in place to reinforce the
capacities of the actors of the community systems in the form of logistical support for the
operating of RECAP+ and of the Alliance of Mayors against HIV.

Several initiatives were put in place to reinforce the capacities of the actors of the
community system in the form of (i) support for the operating of RECAP+ and other
associations of PLWHA by ACMS, UNAIDS and CAMNAFAW, (ii) logical and technical support
for associations of youths and unwed mothers by CAMNAFAW, GTZ, ACMS, IRESCO, UNFPA,
UNESCO, UNICEF, and (iii) technical support for actors of the private sector by BIT and
GTZ.

The strengthening of capacities of 52 NGO/Associations working in the care of OVC
between 2006 and 2009 in the context of Round 3. Support for the development of
governance of the OSC by UE by way of the Support Programs for the Stucturalization of
Civil Society Organizations (PASOC). Sixty five (65) companies GICAM, 9 companies from
the BOIS subsidiary, 5 companies from the transport sector and 25 PME/PMI from Douala
(CCA/Aids) benefited from capacity strengthening for their employers and works by BIT, as
well as the development of policy and action plans for the fight against Aids in companies
and the establishment of fight committees.
4.
4.4
The problems of coordination of the community response, find the beginnings of a solution
in: the network of associations for the PLWHA, the employers’ associations, community,
faith-based organizations and the Youth Network. The involvement of the private sector is
reinforced by the promotion of the Public Private Partnership (PPP) (MINHEALTH – Private
Sector) with the technical support of the International Work Office (BIT). The
establishment by MINHEALTH of an ad hoc committee for monitoring the fight against
HIV/Aids by civil society.
Diversification of the offer of prevention, care and support services

The service offers are more and more diversified towards the groups the most exposed to
risk notably the MSM (by way of CAMNAFW and Alternative), incarcerated men, the SW,
the truck drivers (ADMS, CHP by way of AWARE/USAID). Otherwise the private sector is
involved by the designation of some medical services of companies as treatment centres
and care centres for the PLWHA: Cameroon Development Cooperation (CDC), HEVECAM,
ALUCAM, PHP.

On the other hand, NGO diversify more and more their offer of service by orienting their
interventions in the direction of SW, MSM and Truck drivers. This is the case with
CARE/USAID by way of the Male as Partner project.

implementer); and
21/101
ROUND 10 – HIV
(b) the targeted population(s).
Goal 1: Reduce new HIV infections of new born through PMTCT
Cameroon has opted for virtual elimination of TME. It is as such that strategic axis 1 of the NSP 20112015 aims to cover 90% of the seropositive pregnant women and 100% of the infants exposed to HIV.
This proposal focuses on 70% of the needs and the rest will be covered by the Government and the
other partners.
The proposal contributes to the needs of pregnant women and infants by way of interventions relative
to pillars 3 and 4 of the prevention of HIV in this group. This requires the establishment of strategies
aiming to increase access and use of PNC services by pregnant women as well as the improvement of
the services offered including PMTCT. The 1st pillar, centred on the primary prevention of infection
among women of procreating age, especially young girls of 15-24 years of age will be taken into
account by the government and its other partners. These last will support also the aspects of the 2nd
pillar which is the prevention of unwanted pregnancies amongst seropositive women. The strategies of
notification of partners, comprehensive PMTCT, the CM of infants allowing improvement of the
frequentation of partners of pregnant women in the PMTCT services. The interventions of community
mobilization aim for both the pregnant women and their partner in order to increase the use of health
services.
Objective 1.1: Increase from 35% to 80% the proportion of pregnant women who benefit from at
least one CPN including screening for HIV by 2015
These interventions aim to improve the access to screening counselling from 333,386 to 859,655
pregnant women seen in PNC from 2011 to 2015 in the 178 health districts.
The coordination will be ensured by the PR governmental and a sub recipient coming from civil society.
The implementation will be ensure by the health personnel (in the health facilities) and civil society (in
the community).
SDA 1.1.1: RSC: Advocacy, communication and social mobilization
The civil society organizations and the community volunteers coming from various organizations will
organize the actions of continuous and permanent social mobilization and the awareness outreach in
the neighbourhoods and villages with a view to increase the frequentation of health services
(SMI/SR/FP/PMTCT/HIV) by pregnant women and their spouses as well as a direct support to HIV
seropositives. The activities of the CV will be ensured by 1600 OBC (the mother providers, HIV+
mothers, Women’s associations, support groups, PLWHA associations, religious confessions…). These
activities of the OBC will allow research for those lost sight of and their effective mobilization for the
PNC services. The proposal will contribute to the development and the multiplication of promotion
tools for the interventions. As well, it will support the radio broadcast communication by contracting
with 75 community radios who will broadcast messages appropriate for the local cultural context on
the SMI/SR/FP/PMTCT/HIV. The advocacy actions supported by the Government and Round 10 will be
organized in the direction of women’s associations, opinion leaders, traditional authorities, religious
authorities and decision makers at all levels in order to promote PNC and PMTCT.
The coordination will be ensured by the PR governmental: MINHEALTH and the implementation will be
ensure an SR coming from civil society: CARE and other SR from civil society.
Targets: pregnant women, partners of pregnant women, community leaders
The main activities of this SDA are:
1.1.1.1
Train 3200 CV (women and men) coming from 1600 OBC in the 178 health districts on
communication and social mobilization techniques (for the PMTCT, care)
1.1.1.2
Organize bi-monthly sessions of community dialogue (CIP, home visits, research for lost from
sight) by the CV for the mobilization of pregnant women and their spouse for years 1, 2, 3

ROUND 10 – HIV
communications messages adapted to the local context for the mobilization of women and
their partners for PMTCT
1.1.1.6
Organize 02 national days of social mobilization for PMTCT and SR (caravans broadcasting
messages, moving cinema, theatre) in the large gathering places of neighbourhoods and
villages
1.1.1.7
Organize 05 advocacy sessions at the level of the health districts at the place for presidents
of female associations, religious leaders, village chiefs and access to PMTCT/SR in years 1 and
2
1.1.1.8
Organize 02 advocacy sessions/training sessions in each FS to improve the reception of
patients (pregnant women, partners, PLWHA, etc…) in the different services in years 1 and 2
1.1.1.9
Organize integrated activities for awareness outreach for parents, community volunteers,
women’s associations, association of seropositive mothers and the other community actors.
1.1.1.10 Provide the 05 SR with office and computer equipment for the monitoring and reporting of
PMTCT and CM community activities and prevention in the direction of groups of risk
1.1.1.11 Acquire 06 4x4 vehicles for the supervision of the implementation of PMTCT activities,
community CM and prevention in the groups at risk by the NGO and OBC.
SDA 1.1.2 HSS (Health system strengthening): Health professionals
SDA Description: This SDA will allow strengthening of the capacities of health professions in order to
respond in the long term in the improvement of services of maternal and infant health. The
MINHEALTH will ensure the application and the monitoring of decisions relative to the harmonization of
PNC costs and the births in all of the health facilities. They will develop the integrated DCIP
(Screening Counselling Initiated by the Provider) training documents, SONEU (Obstetrical and Neonatal
Emergency Care), SR (Reproductive Health), Nutrition in the HIV context, early screening, FP (Family
Planning). The country has 102 trainers available. This proposal thus aims to train 254 trainers of
health providers. These trainings would take place as a cascade, starting from the central level to the
operational level for a coverage of all of the health structures in trained personnel. The post training
monitoring will be carried out during the joint supervisions carried out by the DS team. This capacity
strengthening strategy for providers adds to training in counselling screening of 1052 providers initiated
in years 1 and 2 in the context of Round 5. Round 10 will also support the carrying out of supervision.
The Government ensures, under C2D financing from 2011, the strengthening of capacities of personnel
with 901 health trainings in SONEU including PMTCT. As well, the development partners (UNICEF, OMS,
UNFPA) will support the development of the modules.
The coordination and the implementation of the activities will be done by the PR governmental:
MINHEALTH
Targets: health providers of the FS
1.1.2.1
Produce and disseminate the SMI training modules: PMTCT/Reproductive Health/SONEU
(Obstetrical and Neonatal Emergency Care)
1.1.2.2
Train 254 trainers of health providers of the health system and of the community system
on the maternal and infant health package (SMI)
1.1.2.3
Train/retrain 3336 health providers (02 per FS among 1668 FS out of 2569) in
PMTCT/SONEU
1.1.2.4
Organize training sessions of 10 working days for 1500 health personnel in the PMTCT
reference centres (post-training session)
1.1.2.5
Organize post-training supervision missions (2nd level tutelage)
SDA 1.1.3 Testing and counselling
SDA Description: The screening of pregnant women will be done according to the “opt out” approach
23/101
ROUND 10 – HIV
in fixed strategy (by promoting screening at the initiative of the provider) in the FS and the community
care structures; in advanced strategy by the health centre managers during their descents into the
community for health interventions (TPI, vaccination, mosquito nets). The pregnant women will be
tested on the finger by the health personnel with provision of the results the same day. At the level of
the community, the CHW (community health worker, trained and competent) in collaboration with the
health personnel will proceed with pre and post counselling. The CHW will work in tight collaboration
with the community volunteers to identify pregnant women needing the screening test.
This proposal will ensure the purchase of reagents for the screening of pregnant women at the rate of
20% of the needs of the proposal, the rest being ensured by MINHEALTH as part of the funding for PPTE
and the other partners. The CHW (508 former and 100 new) will be provided with screening kits and
trained on the counselling and technique of screening using the finger.
The coordination and the implementation of the activities will be done by the PR governmental:
MINHEALTH
Targets: pregnant women seen in PNC
1.1.3.1
Acquire for a national supply of reagents and consumables for the screening counselling in
PNC/PTME (routine screening, sentinel PMTCT sites, operational research)
1.1.3.2
Train 608 CHW community health workers on the counselling and technique of rapid
screening
1.1.3.3
Provide the 608 CHW (508 former and 100 new) with integrated counselling kits (box,
jacket, tools for IEC, book for data management).
Objective1.2: Increase from 19% to 70% the proportion of seropositive pregnant women and their
infants who receive ARV to prevent MCT by 2015
This will require covering by 2015, 57,167 HIV+ pregnant women and 57,167 newborns born of
seropositive mothers in the 178 health districts
SDA 1.2.1: PMTCT
SDA Description: This SDA will ensure the passage from the scale of the offer of PMTCT services to the
pregnant women. All of the HIV+ pregnant women received in PNC will be consulted on nutritional
practices for the child and observance of the taking of the ARV and cotrimoxazole. These HIV+ women
will benefit from the lymphocyte counting CD4. Those needing ARV treatment for their own health
(CD4˂350) will be oriented in the context of the overall care for adults. The others (CD4˃350) will
receive the ARV for prophylaxis according to the recommendation of WHO 2009 following option A
adopted by Cameroon (Appendix 19). These women will receive the ARV treatments (in the form of a
single treatment package Mother Baby Pack (MBP). This proposal will support the actions aiming to
combine the needs in ARV and other inputs relative to PMTCT. As well, it will contributed up to 70% in
2015 of the target PMTCT of the NSP 2011-2015 and the 10% remaining will be covered by the
Government and its partners. The interventions of social mobilization aiming to increase the
frequentation of PNC services by pregnant women and the coverage in ARC of HIV+ pregnant women
are already described in SDA 1.1.1 and 1.1.2 for objective 1.1, and will contribute to the attaining of
objective 1.2.
The coordination will be ensured by the PR governmental: MINHEALTH and the implementation of the
activities ensured by the MINHEALTH in collaboration with the SR of civil society: CBC
Targets: seropositive pregnant women seen in PNC and their infants
1.2.1.1
Provide 128,761 single packets (MBP) of APV medications (ARV, cotrimoxazole) necessary
for the seropositive pregnant women and the infant for prophylaxis
1.2.1.2
Acquire 184 kits for nutritional rehabilitation (Image boxes, scale, height measure, tape
measure WHO table of growth standards) for 23 CTA for nutritional rehabilitation
1.2.1.3
Equip 120 of the community care structures in tools for monitoring evaluation (registers,
24/101
ROUND 10 – HIV
summary sheets) and consumables for the PNC/PMTCT

SDA Description: This SDA allows insurance of the continuity of care for persons infected and affected
at the level of the community and companies with care structures. This strategy is based on a
collaboration and complementarity between the care structures of the health system and the
community system organisms. The main actors of this section are: (i) the ARC attached to the CM
structures and (ii) the OSC and the OBC involved in the communities: mother providers, HIV+ mothers,
male as Partner, support groups. The existing networks of the religious organizations and the
associations of PLWHA will be enhanced to potentialize the supply of care and support to the
chronically ill. In order to facilitate the implementation of the activities, each Health District will be
placed under the responsibility of an OBS/OSC (SSR) who will work with the other OBC/OSC for its zone
of intervention.
The continuum of care interventions to be implemented will be set out in a national guide for the care
of PLWHA in the community setting. This will be elaborated by the MINHEALTH and its other partners.
These community actors will implement the following activities: (i) the psychological and social
monitoring of the PLWHA (under ARV treatment or not including seropositive pregnant women and
TB/HIV patients) by way of among other things home visits or use of a green line; (ii) assistance in the
observance of ARV treatment including TB by way of therapeutic education and counselling in the
health facilities and in the communities; (iii) the research and reintegration of those lost from sight in
the active file of the health facilities; (iv) running of information and education sessions on HIV and TB;
(v) the implementation of finger screening (vi) nutritional education, (vi) social mobilization for the
frequentation of the health services (vii) the referencing and counter referencing with the CM
structures, (viii) the reporting on community activities.
The community actors will cover all of the communities in relation with the health zones and the 240
CM ARV sites. The establishment of 100 new UPEC will require 400 new ARC which will be mobilized as
needed from the site extensions.

associated with HIV/Aids are in order: the workplace (companies, care environments, public services),
the community life areas (family, neighbourhood) (Appendix 12). This proposal aims to reduce the
amplitude of this phenomenon by targeted actions in the different environments. A evaluation of the
index of stigmatization and discrimination based on the tools developed by NGP+ and ONUSDA will be
carried out at the being and at the end of the interventions. This will require leading actions for
strengthening the capacities, advocacy, and communication on stigmatization and discrimination.
A pool of 20 trainers (02 per region) coming from the community and work setting will be enabled. At
the community level, these trainers will ensure the integration of the stigmatization and
discrimination related to Aids in the facilities and the activities of the CHW, VC, NGO/Associations
involved in the mobilization of populations for PMTCT, the continuum of care, support for the OVC (SDA
1.1.1, 1.1.3, 3.2.1)
As far as concerns the health setting, a specific module on stigmatization and the management of
33/101
ROUND 10 – HIV
confidentiality will be integrated in the training of targeted health providers in this proposal (SDA
1.1.2, 3.1.1).
With respect to public services this requires training the focal points of the 18 ministerial departments
having an action plan for the fight against HIV on the issues of stigmatization and discrimination. As
well, 20 Inspectors and 2 workplace Judges will be trained to ensure the accompaniment of PLWHA
victims of stigmatization in the exercise of their rights.
As the company level, workshops will be organized for 312 focal point coming from 104 companies who
have implemented the HIV/Aids interventions. The advocacy towards the 104 Managers on the
reduction of stigmatization and discrimination will provide an occasion to sensitize them on the
importance of coinvestment, and the implementation of the CIGAM-MINHEALTH agreement.
The coordination will be ensured with the PR Governmental (MINHEALTH) and the implementation in
collaboration with a private sector organization.

surveillance surveys of HIV among the pregnant women, a study on the methods of transmission of HIV,
surveillance of the resistance to treatments, evaluation of the quality of CM of HIV patients. 140
agents for filling out the registers (data managers) have been recruited in the context of round 3 and
financing for the continuity of services (CoS) and it ensures the regular collection of data. The
proposal will continue the remuneration of these agents in order to guarantee the regularity and the
promptitude of site data. Other register filling agents will be mobilized for the 100 new care
structures for a total of 240 data managers (for the 240 CM structures). In order to ensure
sustainability, these agents will be progressively contracted by the Government following the
development plan for human resources of the Ministry of Health.

(a) Overview of programmatic activities
Describe the objectives, service delivery areas (SDA), and activities of the consolidated disease
application. The description must be organized in that exact order and the numbering system must
match the Consolidated Performance Framework, detailed budget and work plan.
The narrative description of the Round 10 interventions should reflect all objectives, service delivery
areas (SDAs), and activities in the Round 10 consolidated disease proposal, but distinguish between
what programming is being continued from existing grants versus new programming for Round 10.
The description must identify:
(1) who will implement each area of activity (e.g. Principal Recipient, Sub-recipient or other
implementer);
(2) the targeted population(s);
(3) what changes in implementation and/or the targeted population(s) have occurred, if any, for
those elements which are from existing grants and continuing in this consolidated disease
proposal;
(4) any links between the existing grant activities to be continued in the consolidated disease
proposal, as these activities previously existed in separate grants;
(5) any links between the proposed activities and existing Global Fund grants for other diseases or
HSS; and
(6) how duplication will be avoided if there are linkages identified in points (4) and (5) above.

4.4.2 Addressing weaknesses from a previous category 3 proposal
If relevant describe how the weaknesses identified in the TRP Review Form of a previous category 3
proposal have been addressed.
TRP Comment R9
Response
Major weaknesses

The approach of the most at
risk populations identified is not
focused. It includes broad activities
without dealing with their
specificities and factors that
determine their vulnerability (e.g.,
dealing with the disabled who have
lower HIV prevalence than general
population).

Tuberculosis/HIV
coinfection is barely mentioned (as an
Opportunistic Infection (OI)) and
there is no demonstration of the
existence of a plan to address coinfection in any of the directions
(HIV prevention, screening and
treatment among tuberculosis
patients and tuberculosis screening,
prevention and treatment among
HIV patients).

The prevention of mother-tochild transmission (PMTCT) targets
are underestimated for an intervention
that is simple and which can have a
very important impact. There is no
mention of PMTCT guidelines to be
followed and infant feeding.

Although there is a whole
section on PMTCT, no impact or
outcome indicators are presented in
the performance framework to
measure the progress of the
program in the country.
The Round 10 proposal has taken into account the observations of TRP
concerning the populations most exposed to HIV risk and relies on:
 The epidemiological situation in Cameroon which shows an elevated
prevalence in the populations most exposed (seroprevalance of 36%
among sex workers and 16.4 among truck drivers), rate of
seropositivity of 35% in a group of MSM tested..
 On the specific needs of the MARPs identified during land visits and
meetings with the SW and the MSM in Yaoundé and Douala.
This proposal has taken into consideration this observation. The TB/HIV
coinfection is integrated in Round 9 of the TB proposal (accepted) and in
HIV Round 5 in so far as concerns the HIV screening of those with
tuberculosis.
So that the monitoring and care of TB-HIV coinfection is sustainable over
time, Round 10 will reply on the mechanisms of technical coordination for
the HIV and TB program at all levels.
The training of providers on TB/HIV coinfection will be organized in the
PLWHA care structures.
This Round 10 proposal makes PMTCT a major axis (Goal 1), which is part
of the national and international perspective for the virtual elimination of the
transmission of HIV from mother to child in the 5 coming years (based on
option « A » of the new WHO 2009 directives on the PMTCT and the
feeding of young children).
The increase in coverage of the services for mother and child, their use
and improvement of the quality are the main activities of the PMTCT.
The community mobilisation must allow increased access to this basic
service and significant reduction of the mother to child transmission of HIV.
The targets in matters of PMTCT have been reviewed and the objectives
defined with the view to the virtual elimination of MCT. This proposal aims
to cover 80% of pregnant women by 2015.
This Round 10 proposal making PMTCT a major axis (Goal 1) has
integrated the indicators of the effects and impact of which some are taken
up again in the context of performance, such as :
 The percentage of pregnant women received in PNC and knowing
their serological status
 The percentage of HIV+ pregnant women receiving a complete ARV
39/101
ROUND 10 – HIV
regime to reduce the transmission of HIV from mother to child
The percentage of children born of HIV+ mothers receiving an ARV
prophylaxis
 The percentage of infants born to HIV+ mothers benefiting from a PCR
(early diagnosis) at 06 weeks
 The percentage of infants infected by HIV born of HIV+ mothers
This proposal gives an inventory of the situation and a mapping of the
existing laboratory equipment (NAC : Report on the state of laboratory
equipment, Appendix 20).
It is based on an analysis of the deficiencies and the needs in the area of
diagnostics and biological monitoring of patients.
The analysis has allowed the carrying out of an inventory of what is
available in terms of laboratory equipment (complementarity with previous
Rounds) and an estimation of needs. These last are a function of the
passage to the scale of the TAR and the PMTCT (early diagnosis of
newborns, CD4 counts for pregnant women) in the context of the virtual
elimination of the mother child transmission and the universal access for
the 2015 horizon
In so far as concerns genotyping see the response to question 7 below.
This HIV Round 10 proposal relies on the analysis of financial and
programmatic deficiencies.
This proposal aims for universal access, however the national financing
and financial support of development partners has not allows this objective
to be obtained. The Round 10 financing will thus be in complement to the
Government financing and the financing of its partners in development. As
well in the section 4.4.7 the analysis has allowed it to be show that Round
10 will have no overlap with Rounds 3, 4 and 5 in so far as the moment
that R10 starts, the previous Rounds will be closed.
In this proposal, interventions are planned for ::
1- preventing the occurrence of resistance to ART by:
 The respect of ART treatment protocols
 Reinforcement of observance by therapeutic education, the active
research of those lost from sight by way of the intervention of CHW
(Community Health Workers)/CV (Community Volunteers)
 Reinforcement of the Procurement Supply Management (PSM) to
avoid ruptures in inventory at all levels.
2- Genotyping will assist in the surveillance of the emergence of primary
resistance and acquired to optimize the efficiency of the first and second
line therapeutic protocols.


The country is requesting a
grant for the purchase of
equipments and reagents for viral
load, CD4, PCR and genotyping
without a clear map and description
of what is already in place

Non Global Fund funds are
listed but there is no
comprehensive
additional/complementary
description in relation to the present
proposal.

The proposal previews
several studies on ART resistance
(including primary resistance) but
there is no indication of strategies
to deal with the problem that will
certainly be created.

The OVC component targets
166 districts out of 174 districts.
(http://www.unicef.org/wcaro/wcaro
_CAM_factsheet_HEALTH.pdf).
Objective 5, on the other hand, will
focus on 5 health districts (page
41/89). There is no information on
the geographical or epidemiological
criteria used to exclude or include
the districts in each of the cases.
In this Round 10 proposal, the choice of Orphans and Vulnerable Children
(OVC) is not in relation to the health districts. It aims more all of the OVC
who have lost 1 or 2 parents following HIV infection and so the protective
environment is very destructured. This Round continues the CM of OVC in
84 intervention sites which cover all of the country.

The monitoring and
evaluation system for ARV patients
is inadequately described.
Since 2002, Cameroon has been committed to an ambitious program
aiming to facilitate the access to treatment for PLWHA with therapeutic
indication. The national active file was 76,228 PLWHA at the end of
December 2009, the Ministry of Health has adopted the WHO
recommendations (December 2009) and treatments have been
standardized to facilitate patient monitoring. The monitoring registries for
40/101
ROUND 10 – HIV
patients on ARV are available in the care sites within the framework of the
monitoring/evaluation system and there are responsible personnel. The
data on the TAR are collected and sent monthly to the health facilities in
the Region. The TARV information for the regions is sent quarterly to the
central level. These last are subject to a compilation and quarterly
publications (progress reports). The traceability of HIV+ patients on TARV
is done by way of a unique indentifying number which is anonymous and
which is recorded in all of the site registries (pre-ART registries, ART,
pharmacy, etc.
The ESOPE software made available by GIP-ESTHER serves to receive
the data for individual monitoring or the active file of patients on ARV. It
will be progressively extended to all CTA tutors and the tutored UPC which
will then be equipped with a database. The managers (operators) look
after the database and will document the information obtained. As well,
the PMTCT monitoring and paediatric care will use the “paediatric” version
of ESOP will should be available at the end of 2010. The Esope system
allows the centralization of indicators for which the regular analysis
(biannual) will provide information on the evolution of the access program
for ARV.
 The weaknesses identified by the
TRP in Round 7 and Round 8 have
been discussed in the relevant
sections of the proposal but have
not all been fully addressed.
The commentaries of Round 7 and Round 8 were based around the
problematic of the most exposed populations, the supply of ARV, the basic
data and the importance of indicators of effect and impact which were
elaborated in the proposal for Series 7 and 8 of the Global Fund. To this
effect, this Round 10 proposal has considered as a priority axis the
populations the most exposed to risk (Goal 2) and the availability of ARV
(Goal 3). The round 10 proposal has defined a performance plan based
on the impact and effect indicators related to the different interventions and
to the instruction of the Global Fund Round 10.
The commentaries of Round 7 and 8 established the state of the
interventions and the expected impacts, and the organization of the SR
and PR for the implementation of programmed activities within the
framework of these rounds. This Round 10 proposal presents an
organizational schema with two avenues of financing: a PR Governmental
(Ministry of Health) and a PR Civil Society (CAMNAFAW).
In so far as concerns the monitoring evaluation system, this Round 10
proposal has done an analysis based on the 12 components of UNAIDS
and considers the evaluation monitoring as a priority and strategic axis for
the implementation of the proposal (Goal 4). Finally, in recognition of the
Rounds 7 and 8 commentaries, a summary is submitted as an appendix
(Appendix 21)
Minor Weaknesses
 Regarding the budget: some
budget items seem to be
inappropriately costed (actual
budget costs/more realistic unit
costs). For instance, male
condoms: €0.0823/ €0.025;
desktops: €1,143/ €750; vehicles:
€30,490/ € 20,000.
This Round 10 proposal relies on the national consolidated unit costs with
the LFA from the proposals of Rounds 3, 4 and 5 by taking into account the
national procurement procedures.
Some unit costs are aligned with those of Rounds 9 on tuberculosis and
malaria which are already accepted.
The CCM Cameroon drafting committee will oversee the avoidance of
errors in the logic of the budgetary framework.
 Further clarifications are needed
on, for instance, training of PMTCT
staff, training of laboratory
The aspects of training for laboratories and providers in PMTCT are
adapted to the activities defined in each of the components and sub
components. This proposals provides detailed information on the training

as well as on the strategies and the associated budgets.
Budgetary coherence and consolidation of the costs in the PSM form.
4.4.3 Lessons learned from implementation experience
How do the implementation plans and activities described in 4.4.1 above draw on lessons learned from
program implementation (from either Global Fund financed or non-Global Fund financed programs)?
The activities described in section 4.4.1 draw from and rely on the lessons learned from the
implementation of NSP 2006-2010.
These teachings can be situated at several levels:

Access to prevention in favour of the priority groups
Thanks to IDA financing, there has been a large community implication in the fight against HIV and Aids
by way of the mobilization of populations at the level of the Communes, Businesses and Religious
Confessions for the prevention (BCC, screening, promotion of the use of condoms). This mobilization
was realized with the support of the civil society organizations. As well, 7,530 base communities, 180
associations and networks of association for PLWHA, 21 public sector, 128 religious organizations, 104
companies and unions, 116 NGO/Associations etc were mobilized.
The effective implication of the local decentralized collectivities and their leadership in the actions of
NSP 2011-2015 will allow development of mechanisms of appropriation and sustainability of the
interventions by community actors. Within the context of this proposal the capacities of the OSC will
be reinforced in terms of planning, management and search for funding in order to avoid stopping the
activities as soon as the funding ends (sustainability).
The experience of Round 4 and the interventions sustained by the other partners has shown the use of
mass medias as means of communications adapted to incite a change in behaviour among the young.
However these media have shown they are limited in the capturing of some groups, such as the SW and
MSM.
The Round 10 proposal aims to capitalize on the existing OSC to attain the target groups by way of
outreach communication.
- The counselling and voluntary screening in advanced strategy implemented by way of the Mobile Units
acquired with IDA financing allowing populations to be reached that were not well covered by health
services or those not having spontaneously screening services. The mobilization of personnel of the
local health facilities facilitated the orientation of people diagnosed HIV+ towards the care structures.
This proposal will continue this experience in the direction of the targeted groups (SW, MSM, Truck
Drivers) with the involvement of the OSC in order to ensure the continuum of care among people
tested positive.
- The distribution of condoms based on the community-based strategies has shown its effectiveness on
the availability and use of condoms. At the same time the involvement of men increases the
acceptance and use of the female condom The implementation of this proposal strengthens this
strategy, contributing also to the reduction of the incidence of HIV in the general population and in the
high risk groups in particular.
-The involvement of beneficiaries in the development of strategies aimed for the groups the most
exposed to risk as well as the PLWHA, will be done in more depth and systematized in order to extend
the access to services and the consolidation of acquisitions.
- The creation of an exchange space, for dialogue and meeting between providers of the health
facilities, community works and others involved (security,, social affairs, territorial administration and
civil society) has allowed an increase in the credibility and frequentation of the FS by the SW for the
city of Yaoundé. This best practice will be capitalized on within the framework of this proposal to
42/101
ROUND 10 – HIV
improve the interventions for this group.
Experiences on PMTCT
The PMTCT activities developed in Round 5 allowed for an improvement in coverage and access to PNC
services (35% of the pregnant women expected benefited from HIV screening in PNC in 2009) and the
ARV prophylaxis for seropositive pregnant women. However, the weak involvement of the community
actors and the rarity of mobilization interventions for the pregnant women were a brake to the efforts
deployed for the improvement of accessibility, use of PMTCT services. This proposal will place
particular emphasis on the community mobilization of pregnant women and their partners in order to
increase the coverage of screening in PNC to 80%.

Access to treatment and care in favour of the eligible adult and children PLMHA
- The policy of free ARV and the MIO associated with the subsidy for biological examination has allowed
an increase in the active file of people on ART going from 36,033 in June 2007 to 73,114 adults in
December 2009. This policy will be pursued within the framework of this proposal as well as the
experience of decentralization of the care by way of a network of CTA/UPC covering all of the county
towns and health districts.
- the establishment of early diagnosis per PCR from the 6th week par the use of DBS and the
implementation of the ministerial decision on the paediatric care by ARV has allowed the number of
infants on ARV to be doubled in two years going from 1700 in 2007 to 3114 in 2009.

Coordination and monitoring evaluation of the program
- The lessons drawn from the implementation of monitoring evaluation indicating the necessity of
harmonizing the indicators of monitoring evaluation at different levels: harmonization of the national
indicator in relation with SNIS, between the different PR and SR, with the community sector.
- The irregularity of coordination and discussion meetings between the different people involved, the
deficit in communication and the difficulty of managing the financial flow at different level between
the different backers, the insufficiency in human resources are also factors which weaken
coordination. This last will be strengthened with the aim for a complementarity of actions and an
improvement in geographical coverage of the people involved and the targets.
- The lessons drawn in the area of human resources have show that their weak number (quantitative
and qualitative) is a limiting factor for the data collection system (promptitude and completeness).
This has been partially corrected by the recruitment of register filling agents within the framework of
COS of Round 3 and will be reinforced by the Round 10 proposal including the strengthening of their
capacities.
4.4.4 Enhancing TB/HIV collaborative activities
Describe:
(a)
(b)
how the proposal will contribute to strengthening TB/HIV collaborative activities; and
the collaboration between the National TB program and the HIV services of your country.
Cameroon has just benefited from a Round 9 Global Fund subsidy for the Tuberculosis component.
This subsidy has the objective of (i) improving the quality of services in the CDT, (ii) controlling the
coinfection of TB/HIV and bringing from 60% to 90% the HIV screening of tuberculosis patients, (iii)
sustaining the populations affected by TB and (iv) promoting operational research via the conducting of
national studies on the resistance to anti-tuberculins and on the study of the transmission of TB.
The HIV Round 5 proposal integration the actions with lead to the reduction of the impact of
Tuberculosis among HIV+ patients by way of diagnosis and prevention of tuberculosis among HIV+
patients (prevent with Isoniazide). The implementation of the interventions is carried out in 10 of the
140 functional care structures for PLWHA and has allowing the placement on preventative treatment of
Isoniazide (TIP) of 806 patients HIV+ out of 1017 planned between 2006 and April 2010. The evaluation
of these interventions will allow the collection of evidence on the effectiveness of this prevention in
the Cameroon context with an aim to take it to scale.
The integration of HIV screening among tuberculosis patients in the 216 existing Diagnostic and
Treatment Centres for Tuberculosis (CDT) has allowed improvement of the care of HIV/Aids among
43/101
ROUND 10 – HIV
tuberculosis patients. This proposal aims to consolidate this acquisition by way of the pursuit of the
making available of cotrimozazole and the antiretrovirals in the CDT centres as well as the training of
providers in the care of HIV/TB coinfection. In this Round, the contribution of Civil Society (association
of PLWHA) and the community actors will allow improvement of the community care of tuberculosis
among HIV+ patients as described in SDA 3.1.6. At the same time, this proposal, by contributing to the
training and retraining of providers in the ARV treatment centres on the care of TB/HIV coinfection will
assist with the integration of the TB activities in the services responsible exclusively for the care of the
PLWHA.
A formal and operational reference and counter reference framework exists between the HIB and TB
programs. The working group on TB/HIV coinfection, made of different actors, including civil society
and the beneficiaries ensures the joint planning, monitoring evaluation and harmonization of
interventions for TB/HIV coinfection and also contributes to the quality of care for patients.
4.4.5 Enhancing social and gender equality
Using specific references to objectives, SDAs, and activities included in section 4.4.1, explain how the
Round 10 interventions address issues related to social and gender equality and confirm that these
items have been properly costed in the budget.
Problems related to Gender and to Human Rights are elaborated throughout the interventions in the
different parts of the proposal:

Equality of access to PMTCT services:
The efforts of the PMTCT are centred on women and their specific needs to encourage their adhesion
to this program. However, the PMTCT program treats mainly women as mothers and looks to involve
the father and siblings of the newborn. In addition, the involvement of men should increase the
numbers of women frequenting maternal and infant health services including PNC1. In effect, the
lessons acquired from the experiences of “males as partners” shows this. The interventions for access
to services of the PMTCT are also aimed at young girls of 15-24 years because of the prevalence of HIV
in this age bracket. As well, because of the fact that the heads of family influence the access of
women to health care and they have financial control, their involvement is thus primordial to attain
the objectives for PMTCT services.
The overall strategy for this “HIV” strategy will contribute to the respect of the equality of gender in
the access to services according to different types of interventions. Several actions of advocacy,
social mobilization and community mobilization are based on the responsibilization of women,
women’s associations, HIV+ mothers, “mother providers” as much in the rural environment as in the
urban. Goal 3 targets women and mention during advocacy/social mobilization campaigns with the
aim to increase the frequentation of PNC services. Goal 3 integrates particularly pregnant women
eligible for antiretroviral therapy.

Taking into account the MARPs (SW, MSM and Truck Drivers) and equitable access to health
and treatment services
The predominance of the target young within the MARPs (SW, MSM, truck drivers) is a reality which
constitutes a preoccupation in the priority interventions of this proposal. The community approach
and the strengthening of the collaboration with the health system will allow populations the most
exposed to HIV risk to have equitable access to the interventions of prevention,, treatment, care and
support, by reducing the stigmatization and the discrimination in the respect of their specificities and
their rights (goal 2, objective 2.1).
The interventions on the issue of violence based on gender is taken into account in the strengthening
of the capacities of health mediators and peer educators in SDA 2.1.1 and SDA 2.1.2.

Equality of access to screening and treatment services (ARV, MIO)
In the policy of access to care structures, there is no discrimination or limitation related to sex.
However there are sociocultural factors which have had an impact on the access to these services.
The proposal will implement interventions to alleviate these limits (SDA 2.1.6 and SDA 3.2.2). In a
situation of dependence vis-à-vis her spouse, the seropositive woman often has difficulties in sharing
her results with the former by fear of a rejection or rupture. This situation which exposes the spouse
to HIV infection is also the cause of inobservance of treatments with its corollaries. A higher level of
44/101
ROUND 10 – HIV
education and financial dependence do not protect women from violence related to gender either.
The survey carried out in Cameroon in 2009 by GTZ on the violence towards women revealed that they
are often victims of violence related to gender (Appendix 22). The screening counsellors and the ARC
are especially trained under the framework of SDA 1.1.3 on the approach to HIV screening and the
sharing of results between spouses or partners.
Gender sensitive care and treatment

The care of PLWHA in Cameroon is based on the principles of universality and equity of access to
treatment, care and support by way of free ARV and the subsidization of biological exams. The
strategy of decentralization of care in all of the 178 health districts allows the offering to populations
that are enclaved an equitable access to quality treatment and care. This proposal aims to increase
the number of eligible PLWHA placed on ARV, by way of interventions plan in goal 3, objective 3.1 and
the SDA that apply. The proportion of women and men targeted for TAR is in correlation with the
epidemiological profile of the country. In December 2009, 67% of the PLWHA on TAR were women or
51,032 women versus 25,196 men. The care structures situated in rural zones, which represent close
to half of the offers in care in treatment, are equipped the same as the urban zones, in order to
guarantee equity and geographical accessibility. The reinforcement of the “tutoring” strategy for the
health facilities by the structures having a higher technical level (UPEC by the CTA; CSI/CMA by UPEC)
will guarantee the quality of the care at all levels. As well, the collection tools for the monitoring of
the active file produced will allow a disaggregation of the data as a function of sex and of age.
Continuum of care

The selection and training of Community Health Workers and community volunteers will take into
account the equilibrium of the sexes including the pedagogic content of these trainings. Home visits
will be carried out in binomially and will target both women and men, girls and boys, both in the urban
setting as in the rural setting. They will also have information and animation tools relative to this for
the interpersonal communication sessions and for social mobilization in the community. (goal 1,
objective 1.1, SDA 1.1.1.; Goal 3, Objective 3.1, SDA 3.1.6). The OVC by the fact of their vulnerability
present generally unequal access to education, particularly for the young girls. The interventions of
this proposal for the OVC take into account the situation of the young girl and the content of the
interventions is a function of the age bracket.
4.4.6
Partnerships with the private sector
Describe how contributions related to: (i) co-investment from the private sector, and (ii) donated goods
or services, will add value to the planned outcomes of the proposal. Make specific reference to the
associated objectives, SDAs, or activities to which they are linked.
The private sector is one of the actors for the development and implementation of this submission and
it is involved in most of the areas of the provision of services. 27% o the care offering for the PLWHA is
actually ensured by private sector health facilities. The involvement of new private structures in the
implementation of this proposal will allow an increase of the extension of the offer of services in the
perspective of the universal access to PMTCT services, care and treatment of HIV/Aids. The private
sector will also benefit from the same facilities as the public (supply of reagents, ARV, technical
support, support for advocacy). In return, these companies make available their personnel, their
premises and their logistics for the capacity strengthening sessions, the realization of prevention
activities for HIV/Aids. As well, they will support the operational costs of their structures and the
salaries for their employees assigned within the context of the implementation of this proposal.
Within the context of activities for the reduction of new infections (Goals 1 and 2), some companies
(wood industry, Agro-industry, construction worksites, etc…) are retained as sites to deliver services to
their employees who are clients of the SW, because their activities create favourable conditions for the
development of sex work. The companies who employ truck drivers are also targeted to lead
prevention actions in order to reduce risky behaviours within this category of workers. All of these
companies will carry out educational discussions sessions, screening campaigns, orient/refer and
promote access to services to their employees and to the SW in the immediate environment of their
production sites. In effect, the companies (ALUCAM, CDC, AES Sonel, SOSUCAM, HEVECAM, CAMRAIL
etc) who have health structures offer screening services for HIV, PMTCT, diagnosis and treatment of STI
as well as the care of PLWHA.
45/101
ROUND 10 – HIV
This proposal grants particular attention to the development of the public-private partnership in order
to operationalize the co-investment. The MINHEALTH signed on March 31, 2010 a agreement with the
Groupement Interpatronal de Cameroon (Appendix 23) of which one of the objectives is the mobilization
of private companies for the financing of ARV and medications for OI, in return for the support of the
MINHEALTH in the reinforcement of the capacities of the companies in the fight against HIV/Aids. The
activities retained in SDA 4.1.3 are developed in a way to implement the GICAM MINHEALTH agreement
and to ensure the monitoring and evaluation as well as the promotion of the private-public partnership.

Link with Round 9 TB component in process of execution: The integration of HIV screening among
tuberculosis patients in the existing 216 Diagnostic and Treatment Centres for Tuberculosis (CDT) allows
improvement of care of HIV/Aids among tuberculosis patients. This proposal aims to consolidate the
49/101
ROUND 10 – HIV
acquisitions by way of the continuation of the availability of reagents for HIV screening, cotrimoxazole
and the antiretrovirals in the CDT centres as well as the training of providers by the HIV program.
In this Round, the contribution of civil society (PLWHA associations) and the community actors will allow
improvement of the community care of tuberculosis in HIV+ patients as described in SDA 3.1.6. At the
same time, this proposal, by contributing to the training and retraining of providers in the ARV treatment
centres on the care of TB/HIV coinfection will help to integrate the TB activities in the services
responsible exclusively for the care of PLWHA.
A formal and operational framework of reference and counter reference exists with the HIV and TB
programs. The working group on TB/HIV coinfection made up of different actors including civil society
and the beneficiaries ensures the joint planning, monitoring evaluation and harmonization of the
interventions for HIV/TB coinfection and contributes as well to the quality of care for patients.

ROUND 10 – HIV
4.4.9 Strategy to mitigate unintended consequences of additional program support on health
systems
Describe:
(a) the potential risks and unintended consequences on health systems that may result from the
implementation of the proposal; and
(b) the proposed strategy for mitigating these potentially disruptive consequences.
STIGMATIZATION AND DISCRIMINATION
The interventions which target in particular certain populations can lead to a risk of stigmatization by
making this population visible. In order to attenuate this risk, the proposal implements concrete
measures following the example of a better involvement of the CHW coming from setting or the
targeted populations to prevent this risk by actions of intra-community mediation and discussions with
health professionals.
To avoid stigmatization within the context of PMTCT which could be engendered by the distribution of
Mother Baby Pack among pregnant women, the proposal implements a transverse and integrated
approach. This would solicit the participation of community actors, SMI services in order to attain a
better acceptance of the PMTCT interventions.
According to the needs the PLWHA Associations will offer visits/meetings with beneficiaries in locations
outside of the residence so that their contacts occur in complete discretion. The community actors
(ARC, volunteers, counsellor, health agents) will receive training on confidentiality.
The attention placed on pregnant women within the context of the PMTCT program could increase
their visibility by the knowledge of the HIV serological status and lead to a stigmatization within their
family. The outreach communication towards pregnant women, their partners and all of the
community could limit this discrimination/stigmatization.
CARE AND TREATMENT
This proposal places the accent on the continuation of the free ARV and medications for OI. This could
lead to an incomprehension on the part of the patients who suffer from other chronic and serious
illnesses. In order to attenuate these effects, the NSP 2011-2015 plans to establish mechanisms of
community solidarity and health mutuals, a reinforcement of the health system which will benefit all
diseases.
HUMAN RESOURCES
The ARC involved in the research for those lost from sight, the counselling, the screening will benefit
from an indemnity within the framework of this proposal. This situation could be at the origin of a
miscomprehension between the health personnel and these community actors from the fact they have
the same health training. The solution is to accelerate the revision of the career profile for the
personnel in the State health facilities as envisaged in the development plan for human resources for
the MINHEALTH.
Within the context of the intensification of the overall care of persons infected by HIV, the proposal
plans for the extension of training/retraining to personnel of all of the health structures of the country
and to provide the logistics support applying to this passage of scale. Frustrations and demotivation
could arise among personnel of services who don’ benefit from the same advantages. As well, these
last could be tempted to desert the said services. The extension of training to other medical services
and medical specialists and the interaction between the different entry point related to HIV could
attenuate this risk.
Burn out: The growth in the number of PLWHA cared for will lead inevitably to an increase in the
workload or “burn out” among the concerned providers, this could lead to a large mobility of personnel
towards positions or services that are less demanding. The valorisation of their work and their support
through their training, in-service training, scholarships and the participation in international
conferences are some of the measures envisaged in this round to attenuate this risk.

4.5.1 Strengthening capacity and processes in HIV service delivery to achieve improved health
and social outcomes
Describe how the proposal contributes to overall strengthening and/or further development of public,
private and community institutions and systems to ensure improved HIV service delivery and outcomes.
The proposal contributes to the improvement of the public sector, civil society and the private sector
by promoting the reinforcement of capacities, the reinforcement of the usual partnerships with the
OSC (NGO and Associations) and the establishment of a Public-Private Partnership.
 By ensuring 50 to 60% of the financing for antiretroviral treatments and supplies of medications
for opportunistic infections, the Government shows a continued commitment and support for
the sustainability of activities in the fight against HIV.
 By supporting the actions of decentralization of the care of PLWHA, the proposal aims to make
progressively operational the UPEC in the health districts in order to encourage the bringing
together of services for recipients including the vulnerable groups or the most exposed groups.
 The reinforcement of SYNAME capacities, CENAME, the CAPR and the health districts on the
management of medications and related products and quality control allows the proper
estimation of needs, to make available for the ill products of quality and to avoid ruptures.
 The involvement and reinforcement of capacities of actors of the community system will allow,
in the short term (i) increase in the frequentation of sexual and reproductive health services
and CPN by pregnant women and their partners, (ii) increase the percentage of people
knowing their serological status, (iii) improvement in the observance of treatment among
patients; (iv) reduction in the rate of those lost from sight; and in the long term (i) reduction
in the number of new infections; (ii) reduction in maternal mortality and infantile; and (iii)
improvement in the survival of patients under treatment and life conditions for the OVC.
 The strengthening of capacities of the community organizations through training, institutional
and organizations support will allow optimization of their capacities of intervention and
mobilisation of resources, reduction of the stigmatization and the discrimination towards SW,
MSM and the PLWHA, contribution as such to the creation of a favourable environment for the
fight.
 Involvement of the private health sector in the provision of protection and care allowing the
efforts of the government to be completed in matters of the mobilization of resources, ranting
as such the continuity and sustainability of the offer of services and actions in all sector of
development.
 The proposal plans several activities for the strengthening of meeting and coordination of the
interventions including the sharing of information and best practices at the national, regional
and operational level.
This will permit the guarantee of complementarity and the
sustainability of the interventions of the actors, in addition to the development of human
resources and the improvement of management.
 The strengthening of institutional and operational capacities of the NA through the recruitment
of new personnel, the supply of equipment and technologies adapted and made available with
technical assistance with allow this structure to play its role fully of coordination and
monitoring evaluation of the interventions.
4.5.2 Alignment with broader developmental frameworks

4.5.3 Improving value for money
Explain how the program that the proposal contributes to represents good value for money.
Specifically, given the context of the epidemic in the country and the definition of value for money
provided in the Guidelines, describe how the key interventions in the proposal represent the best
balance of costs and effectiveness, with consideration to the desired achievement of both short and
long term impacts.
The interventions retained in this proposal are those for which scientific evidence exists and which are
recommended at the international level for their effectiveness in the reduction of new infections or
improvement of the quality of life of infected persons.
In the context of a generalized epidemic and that of countries with limited resources, the targeting of
population at high risk (SW and MS) and PMTCT are actions which have proven their effectiveness. The
combined strategies available of condoms, treatment of STIs, the outreach awareness with peer
educators and health mediators, the fight against stigma and discrimination, towards the SW, MSM,
Truck drivers and their partners will have an impact on the expansion of the epidemic in the general
population.
With a view to reduce new paediatric infections, the proposal is oriented towards the virtual
elimination of the mother child transmission of HIV. The strategies adopted aim as such to contribute
the attaining of WHO 4, 5, 6 by 2015. It is in this context that for the PMTCT, the choice of option A
relies on the analysis of costs/benefits carried out with the contribution of the WHO and the Clinton
Foundation. The result of this is that the effectiveness of Options A and B were comparable when we
take into account the number of infections avoided. However, the cost of Option B being clearly
greater than of Option A, the country has made its choice of option A. As well, its establishment
presents the best cost/effectiveness rapport.
A study carried out by Goldie S. et al Cost/effectiveness of HIV treatment in poor settings – the case of
the Côte d’Ivoire, New England Journal of Medicine, 2006, 355, 1141-53. Retrieved on August 11, 2010
from http//www.pistes.fr/transcriptase/131_570.htm reveals that the strategies associating TAR and
prophylaxis for opportunist infections had a better cost/effectiveness rapport than those not using
ARV. In addition, the use of a antiretroviral treatment is based on clinical and1or immunological
criteria (CD4 counting) leading to an additional gain of 10.7 on the life expectancy for a surcharge of
590 dollars/year of life gained is a public health investment which is economically attractive in the
context of weak resources. This scientific demonstration comforts us in the choice of Goal 3 of this
proposal which puts the emphasis on the offering of services for CD$ to determine the appropriate
time to initiate treatment, the supply of ARV treatments and medications for opportunistic infections.
Cameroon has revised the national directives in accordance with the WHO (2009) recommendations.
The choice of therapeutic protocols, the MBP device, the taking into account of the TB/HIV dimension
constitute as well the strategies which must allow in the long term the reduction of the costs and
expenses related to HIV.
Studies on the cost/benefit rapport of interventions related to the health system are not sufficiently
documented in Cameroon. However, the use of data on the methods of transmission of HIV (Know Your
Epidemic) coupled with the in-depth use of NASA (Know the Financial Side of Your Epidemic) data could
allow estimation of the cost/effectiveness rapport in the management of the program. This proposal,
has the ambition of leading a study to better determine the cost benefit ratio for the patients.

Monitoring and Evaluation System
4.6
4.6.1 Impact and outcome measurement systems
Describe the impact and outcome measurement systems, including strengths and weaknesses, used to measure achievements of the national disease
program at impact and outcome level.
The system of M&E of the program for the fight against HIV and aids in Cameroon is multisectoral and it is based on the 12 standard components of
UNAIDS. It is coordinated by the planning, monitoring and evaluation section of GTC/NAC.
In Cameroon the national system for monitoring evaluations has a function section for monitoring evaluation positioned at the level of the structure of
coordination at the central level GTC/NAC, and at the level of each region of a Unit of M&E at the GTR/NAC. This national system has available a
mutisectoral national plan, actually in process of revision because of the fact that the planning exercise NSP 2011-2015 has just finished. There exists
as well tools for collection as well as a circuit for reviewing the data which takes into account the different stakeholders of the programs (public,
private, faith-based and community). The Monitoring evaluation section participates in the integrated supervision with partners of the different
sectors, as well as in the studies whose results are contained in the quarterly and annual reports are used within the context of strategic information for
decision-making.
However, despite the existence of this monitoring-evaluation sections, some difficulties, notably structural and organizational hinder the proper
functioning of this provision. There is a qualitative and quantitative insufficiency of human resources, due to the lack of perfection and motivation.
Beyond this situation, the insufficiency of the financial means is also an obstacle to seat the mechanisms of coordination and reinforcement of
leadership in the area of monitoring-evaluation. Under these conditions, the monitoring evaluation section suffers from the absence of coordination
with the other sectors, health information systems, information systems for the community sector which do not allow this section to fully play its role.
This translates into an insufficiency in the control of the quality of data, the weak completeness and the difficulties of managing, storing the data. It
also leads to under production and under use of strategic information, the absence of an efficient strategy of retro-information, dissemination and
promotion of the use of the available data.

4.6.3 Links with the National M&E System
(a) Describe how the monitoring and evaluation (M&E) arrangements in the proposal (at the Principal
Recipient, Sub-recipient, and other levels) use existing national indicators, data collection tools and
reporting systems including reporting channels and cycles.
The methods of monitoring-evaluation (ME) for this proposal rely on the orientation of the ME system for the
multisectoral response in the fight against Aids such as defined in the new NSP 2011-2015 and the monitoring
evaluation 2011-2015.
In this proposal, the national performance indicators and effect used come from the national strategic plan and are
harmonized with the indicators for universal access and UNGAAS. The data will be collected by using the existing
tools of which certain of them will be revised in order to manage the reliable information in the context of the national
program. To this effect, the community actors and the health personnel in charge of monitoring evaluation will
benefit from a strengthening of their capacities. The effectiveness of this system rests on its integration in the
national system for which the functioning is described below.
The activities implemented by the recipients (PR, SR and providers will be the subject of quarterly reports based on
the data collected. The existing collection tools will be adapted to facilitate the collection of data on the interventions
led by the OSC in the groups of SW, MSM and Truck drivers, and by the health system in accordance with the
national indicators. To allow this provision to function and manage the expected information, this proposal must in
place several trainings at different levels (training of data managers in the CTA and UPEC, training of actors of the
community system and health system. The data produced by the ground actors will e recorded on standardized
collection sheets.
At the regional level, the evaluation monitoring and planning unit compiles the data sent by the actors of the different
sectors including civil society. For its turn, the Regional Technical Group (RTG) sends the aggregated data to the
central level to the Planning Monitoring-Evaluation Section of the Central Technical Group (CTG) who compile the
data for all of the Regions. Quarterly reports, biannual and annual reports are produced by the CTG/NAC to take
into account the realizations, from the level of the implementation of activities , the use of allocated resources, the
gaps identified and the measured planned to correct them.
Within the same framework, the data coming from the health facilities of the Ministry of Health (PMTCT and the care
of PLWHA), are transmitted from the operational level via the Health services of the Health District to the Regional
Delegation for public Health (DRSP). These data, compiled by the DRSP, are sent to the CTG and to the Director
for Fight Against the Disease. After analysis, these data are sent to CTG by the RTG.
The system of monitoring evaluation for this proposal is clearly part of the national system of ME. Thus, the two PR
coordinate the receipt of the data with the respective SR and the NAC. The consolidation of the data coming from
the SR will be done by the PR. At the regional and operational level, the implementation structures transmit
simultaneously to PR and to RTG who after compilation and analysis sends it to CTG\NAC for use and strategic
decision-making.
There will be no overlap of reports coming from the PR and the SR, because most of the MINHEALTH partners have
adopted the same plan and the same report model. In addition, the data on the indicators envisaged by the proposal
can be easily received by means of existing systems and approaches by all of those responsible for the
implementation with the strengthening of their capacities.

Yes
No
(b) If yes, has a costed M&E action plan been developed or

(c) Describe whether the proposal is requesting funding for any M&E strengthening measures. These
strengthening measures may have been identified through a national M&E assessment or any other
relevant evaluation or review process.
The review of NSP 2006-2010 and the development of the new strategic plan revealed a certain number of gaps
and measures that this proposal takes into account.
1.
Institutional strengthening
In order to allow the Planning Monitoring Evaluation (PME) section of GTC/NAC to fully play their role, it revolving
material will be made available for the carrying out of the activities of coordination, specific monitoring and
supervision missions and joint (SDA 4.1.3). The section of PSE and the units of SE regional will be provided with
64/101
SERIE 10 – VIH
computer equipment.
2.
The strengthening of the capacities of agents responsible for monitoring evaluation
The availability of competent human resources in the area is incontestable for the implementation of a system of
monitoring evaluation which is reliable and functional. This proposal will contribute the strengthening of
capacities of the personnel (qualitative and quantitative) in SE of the PR and SR involved in the monitoring and
evaluation. As much as engineers statisticians are recruited in all of the SE units of the GTR within the context of
monitoring and evaluation at the regional level, these last all of the actors of SE for all of the sectors concerned
by the proposal need a strengthening of their capacities in the matter of data management.
The proposal will contribute to the strengthening of capacities of 240 registry filling agents in the care structures,
the informaticien responsible for developing a database and the assistant for monitoring evaluation.
3.
Coordination
The objectives of the M&E plan aim for the redynamisation of instances of coordination at the different level, and
this by way of the organization of the quarterly meeting of the Technical Group on SE and the biannual meetings
of the CPLS.
4.
Studies and research
The information coming from these studies gives arguments in the context of the orientation of policies in matters
of the fight against the epidemic and clarifies decision making. In the context of the implementation of the
system of SE, some studies are to be made priorities. This will mean carrying out:

Periodic surveys on the prevalence of HIV among pregnant women and two specific surveys among the SW
and MSM.

Valorisation of all of the studies will be carried out in partnership with the CIRCB, IRD and ANRS on
PMTCT, paediatric care, resistances, etc.

Periodic studies of the prevalence of HIV among pregnant women and two specific surveys of the groups
the most exposed to risk

Two surveillance surveys for resistance of HIV to ARV will also be carried out

Annual estimation surveys for the flow of resources and expenses incurred in the fight against Aids

Evaluation study of the survival of patients on ARV at 12, 24 and 36 months

Evaluative studies of the indexes of stigmatization and discrimination related to HIV

Evaluation at the halfway point and a final evaluation of the implementation of the R10 proposal

An evaluation halfway and a final evaluation of NSP 2011-2015 at the end of 2015.

The prior evaluation of projects allows CARE Cameroon to identify the obstacles and possible risks to
attain results. There is notably a weak level of appropriation of the obligation to be accountable by
the organizations of civil society and inadequate human resources available in terms of quantity and
the tasks to be accomplished.
CARE has reinforced over the course of the Round 4 project the community seating of its work as well
as the links with the national institutions and organizations: Ministry of Public Health, Social Affairs,
Work, Transport and the Promotion of Women and the Family, Planning and the Organization of the
Territory, Agriculture and Rural Development, VSO, PNUD, CRS, PAM, HCR.
CARE Cameroon has qualified human resources, competent and motivated for the implementation,
monitoring and evaluation of programs and projects. The professional activity of CARE Cameroon
employees is framed by recently revised administrative and financial procedures in the sense of a
rigour which is even more reinforced.
In the service of the project, in addition to specific direct collaborators for the program, CARE
Cameroon has available a Director, an internal audit services, an Administrative and Financial
Coordinator assisted by an Accounting and Financial Manager, an Administration/Logistics Manager and
a Human Resource Manager, several accountants, logisticiens and 5 support persons.

 Respect the rule of the double entry
 Respect the rule of the reciprocity of accounts
 Establish a general ledger and a general account balance

 Establish a balance sheet
 Do budgetary monitoring.
CARE Cameroon also uses a cash system which allows a distinct monitoring of financial transactions by
project/provider, tools for bank reconciliation and cash and periodic control of cash movements.
CARE Cameroon’s accounting system allows for the payment of funds to sub-beneficiaries and to
suppliers in a transparent and justifiable manner. According to current procedures:
 The maximum time period for payment of suppliers is 15 days after deposit and approval of the
invoice
 The time period is 21 days for the sub-beneficiaries, after deposit of the financial report and
validation of the justifications of expenses by internal audit
 The presence of an office in the zones of intervention of the program facilitates the available of
funds for suppliers
 For the availability of funds to sub-beneficiaries CARE Cameroon has establish a system of direct
transfer into the account of the organizations which guarantees the swiftness and security.
The internal audit service of CARE Cameroon, desired by the Global Fund at the start-up of Round 4,
has available today all of the monitoring tools and control tools for sub-contracts, validated by LFA
quarterly.

Financial management
CBCHB has a credible financial structures with a lot of experience in the management of external
resources especially funds coming from the American government. The personnel involved in financial
management is made up of three people (01 Director of Finance, and 03 certified accountants). The
external financial audits are regularly carried out. In their last externally audited report, KPMG (An
international audit institution) congratulated CHCHB for their financial management judged to be in
agreement with contemporary norms.
Experience in PMTCT
CBCHB has been involved in PMTCT since February 2000 with a significant financing from the Elizabeth
Glazer Foundation (EGPAF) and USAID. This financing allowed CBCHB to develop and to offer PMTCT
services in certain localities of the country especially in the regions of the South-west and North-west.
In 2004, USAID, Africa West Program (USAID/WARP) though the AWARE program provided financial
support to CBCHB to reinforce its PMTCT activities.
CBCHB has established a Regional Training Centre which has training providers of PMTCT services
coming from 15 countries of the sub-region, and provides technical support to five of these countries in
the implementation of PMTCT services. With the support of the AWARE project, CBCHB has established
the project Men-As-Partners (MAP) in 5 PMTCT sites. The originality of this project is that it
implements an approach which encourages the male sexual partners of PMTCT service clients to
participate in the PNC visits, to solicit the screening for HIV. As well, it contributes to the reduction
and prevention of domestic violence.
CBCHB collaborated in the PEARL research project (PMTCT Effectiveness in Africa: Research and
Linkages to Care) financed by the CDC Atlanta and EGPAF. In 2008, with financing from EGPAF, CBCHB
implemented the CORE research project (Continuum of Care Operations Research) which aimed to
compared the two approaches of passages to the scale of ARV prophylactics more effective for women
and their children.

(d) Describe the process used to identify the assistance needs listed in the above table.
Continuous and sustained technical assistance is essential in Cameroon to strengthen the technical capacities of the
recipients, sub-recipients and beneficiaries in order to ensure the implementation of interventions, guarantee
performance and ensure the quality of interventions developed in the proposal.
The needs in technical assistance within the framework of this Round 10 proposal arise on the one hand, from the
evaluation of the implementation of the strategic plan 2006-2010 and on the other hand the participatory exchanges
carried out by the revision team for the proposal and the other actors. The evaluation of NSP identified different
weaknesses that affect the national response, notably: (i) the health system, (ii) the collection, analysis and the
dissemination of strategic information on the situation of the epidemic and the national response, the coordination of
the interventions, (iii) the monitoring of patients on ARV treatment, (iv) the implementation of the HIV/TB collaboration
activities, (iv) the insufficiency of the performance of the PMTCT services and reproductive health, (v) the qualitative
insufficiency of the care of sexually transmitted infection, (vi) the implementation of the interventions towards the
MARPs, (vii) interventions aiming to make the environment favourable to improve the demand for care services and
the overall care.
The specific needs among those identified in the NSP, and judged to be pertinent and coherent with respect to this
proposal have been validated and retained with the different actors involved in the drafting of the proposal, and are
coherent with the planned activities, available human resources and the period for implementation.
These weakness are taken into account in the new strategic national plan 2011-2015 and can be minimized by the
strengthening of national capacities through national and/or international technical assistance in the implementation of
the grants for this Round 10 from the Global Fund. The related budget is based on the locally applied costs (national
consultant, national technical assistant) at the international level (average cost applied by the United National
System). This technical assistance will contribute to the strengthening of existing national capacities in the delivery of
the planned serves in accordance with the requirements of the Global Fund and the needs of the beneficiaries.

justification below. Or, if the funding request is outside the indicative percentage range, provide a

4.8.4 Alignment with existing systems
Describe how the proposal uses existing country systems for the management of the additional
pharmaceutical and health product activities that are planned, including pharmacovigilance and drug
resistance surveillance systems. If existing systems are not used, explain why.
The purchase, storage, quality control, distribution of medications and medical consumable is done through
SYNAME which includes the National Centre for the Purchase of Medications and Essential Medical Consumables
(CENAME) and the 10 Regional Procurement Centres for Pharmaceutical Products (CARP) located at the level of
the county towns of the Regions. As well, CENAME has a depot available at Ngaoundéré to ensure the supply of the
CARP of the northern Regions of the country. CENAME ensure the purchase of medications and their storage at the
central level. The quality control is ensured by the National Laboratory for the Quality Control of Medications and
Expertise (LANACOME, YAOUNDE-CAMEROUN), the National Laboratory of Public Health and Expertise
(LANSPEX Niamey – Niger) and the Centrale Humanitaire Médico-Pharmaceutique (CHMP, Clermont Ferrand
France) for their expertise.
CENAME then ensures the distribution in the CARP. The CARP are responsible for the distribution in the health
facilities.
Within the framework of this proposal, the process of procurement, storage and distribution will be done using the
existing SYNAME.

CENAME and the CARP currently have a very good storage capacity. CENAME has a storage capacity available at
the central level of approximately 6 800 m2 in Yaoundé with an annex at the level of Ngaoundéré of approximately
1 100 m2. The CAPR have a storage capacity which varies from around 600 et 1000 m2. This capacity allow the
management without difficulty of the ARV acquired within the framework of Round 3 of the Global Fund

pharmaceutical and health products? If the proposal represents a significant change in the
volume of products to be distributed or the area(s) where distribution will occur, estimate the
relative change in percent, and explain what plans are in place to ensure increased capacity.
CENAME has 02 Trucks, 01 van and 02 pickups which ensure the distribution of pharmaceutical products in the 7
southern regions of the country. For the northern regions, the transport is ensured by CAMRAIL with is the national
railway company up to the depot at Ngaoundéré. At the level of this depot, the destruction of the products in the
82/101
SERIE 10 – VIH
CARP is done by rented trucks and 01 pickup.
Each CART has 3 to 5 (PICK-UP) cares available to ensure the distribution in the health facilities.

In Round 10, the total maximum funding request for HIV in Line G is:
(a)
For Lower-Middle income countries, an amount that results in the Global Fund's overall contribution (all grants) to the national program being not more than 65% of
the national disease program funding needs over the proposal term; and
(b)
For Upper-Middle income countries, an amount that results in the Global Fund overall contribution (all grants) to the national program being not more than 35% of
the national disease program funding needs over the proposal term.

ROUND 10 – HIV
5.1.1 Explanation of financial needs and additional needs for Global Fund financing
Describe how the annual amounts were:
(a) developed;
(b) budgeted in a way that ensures that government, non-government and community needs were
included to reflect implementation of the country's malaria program strategies; and
(c) developed in a way that demonstrates the funding requested in the proposal will contribute to
the achievement of outputs and outcomes that would not be supported by currently available
or planned domestic resources.
(a) The new Strategic National Plan for the fight against STD/HIV/AIDS which covers the period
2011-2015 has been developed based on the existing programmatic data and the EPP-spectrum
projections.
The objectives were set under the optic of universal access, in coherence with the objectives of the
document on the Strategy for Growth and Employment (DSCE 2010-2010)(Appendix 24) and the
sectoral health strategy 2001-2015. This strategic plan takes into account the interventions to be
carried out by all sectors (governmental, non-governmental and community).
(b) The financial needs for its implementation have been developed based on figures calculated for
the strategic axes of NSP 2011-2015 by using the “Resource Needs Model (RNM)” model with the
standard unit costs applicable to Cameroon.
This budget also takes into account the needs of all of the sectors as described.
(c) The actual or planned amounts for all sources of financing have been identified and collected by
axis or area of intervention as described in PSN 2011-2015. The financing requested in the
framework of this proposal covers in part the programmatic gaps identified and will contribute to
the realization of the results and effect not financed by other sources. The financing for Round 10
(2011-2015) represents close to one quarter of the needs in total financing for the fight for the
same period. The financing requested within the framework of this proposal represents 24.16% of
the total needs and will allow the gap to be reduced. This last is complementary to all of the
existing financing.
5.1.2 Domestic funding
Describe the processes used in country to:
(a) prioritize domestic financial contributions to the national HIV program including HIPC [Heavily
Indebted Poor Country] and other debt relief, and grant or loan funds that are contributed
through the national budget; and
(b) ensure that domestic resources are used efficiently, transparently and equitably, to help
implement treatment, prevention, care and support strategies at the national, sub-national and
community levels.
(a) The national financial contribution for the fight against HIV/AIDS comes directly from the State
budget, the funds coming from the repaying of the debt (PPTE Resources).
Concerning the PPTE resources, a project document has been elaborated taking into account the
national needs (Appendix 25). The project has been submitted to the Consultative and PPTE
resource monitoring committee presided over by the Ministry of Finance. The said committee
examines the project and after approval, a sectoral panel defines the areas to be financed. The
criteria for choosing are mainly the complementarity with existing financing and the priority for
actions which directly affect the ill. Within the framework of the PPTE 2008-2012 project, the
priority has been given to the supply of medications, the acquisition of medical screening tests
(Appendix 25).
The direct State budget is mobilized in the context of the counter part of external financing (Global
89/101
ROUND 10 – HIV
Fund, World Bank), the salaries of the personnel in charge of the implementation of the activities,
the operations, the rehabilitation, equipment for the monitor and care structures for the ill.
(b) In Cameroon there exists the Caisse Autonome d’Amortissement (CAA), which is under the
tutelage of the Ministry of Finance and which receives financing from the partners and the
countering funds from the State. These different funds are subject to the same control and
management procedures.
5.1.3 External funding
Describe:
(a) any changes in contributions anticipated over the proposal term and the reason for any
identified reductions in external resources over time; and
(b) any current delays in accessing the external funding identified in Table 5.1 that should be
explained, including the reason for the delay, and plans to resolve the issue(s).
Information on the partner contributions for the period 2011-2015 have been supplied following
meetings with these last. No modification in the external financial contribution has been
notified to date.
The management mechanisms and the availability of the funds varies according to the partners.
There is still no common mechanism for financing and for management of external
resources. To this effect, the principles of the “Three ones” will be reinforced at all
levels.

ROUND 10 – HIV
5.4.1 Overall budget context
Describe any significant variations in cost categories by year, or significant five year totals
for those categories.
The end of CoS funding, the elevated risks of the rupture of associated stock and the
number of people on ARV treatment estimated at 226,338 at the end of 2015 shows the
importance of the category Pharmaceutical Products (medications) which represents 46.96%
of the overall budget for the proposal, or € 45,751,693.
Pharmaceutical Products (medications): The size of the active file in Cameroon and its
exponential progression (197% in the period 2009-2015) combined with the stopping of other
sources of funding, particularly that of UNITAI used for the purchase of 2nd line protocols for
st
which the cost is approximately 4 times that of the 1 line protocols. Due to this fact, the
estimated cost to supply the protocols goes from € 3,43 million in 2011 to €13.9 million in
2015.
5.4.2 Human resources
(a) Describe how the proposed financing of salaries, compensation, volunteer stipends, or
top-ups will be consistent with agreed in-country salary frameworks, such as national salary
or inter-agency frameworks.
The cost of human resources in this proposal represents 10.5% of the overall budget. It is
made up of:

indemnification for the community relay agents and social workers whose role is
primordial in the mobilization of women with the aim to have them adhere to the
PMTCT program and in the monitoring of the PLWHA within the context of the
continuum of care which are key actions for the attaining of the objectives of this
proposal.

In the public sector, the indemnities for operating personnel (Appendix 26) and the
salaries for contractual workers (Accounts, Chauffeurs, Secretaries)

In civil society, the salaries of some agents involved in the implementation of the
project, remunerations for community volunteers.
These budgetary allocations are calculated based on national standards and the contracts
entered into during the course of the previous rounds (3, 4, 5) and ratified by ministerial
decisions (Appendix 26).
The support in remuneration of the OBC of civil society will allow ensure they can well fill
their role described in the various SDA described above. Most of these organizations do not
have sufficient financing and must rely in part on external resources to attain the
programmatic results.
(b) In cases where human resources represents an important share of the budget,
summarize: (i) the basis for the budget calculation over the initial two years; (ii) the
method of calculating the anticipated costs over years three to five; and (iii) to what
extent human resources spending will strengthen service delivery.
NA
(c) As well, in cases where the human resources will represent a significant portion of the
budget, summarize : (i) the basis for calculation of the budget for the first period of two
years ; (ii) the method of calculating anticipates costs for the years 3 to 5 ; and (iii) explain
how the expenses in human resources will reinforce the supply of services
The human resources, estimated at 10.5%, do not represent a significant portion of the
total budget of the request.
94/101
ROUND 10 – HIV
5.4.3 Other areas representing significant expenses.
If other “cost categories” represent significant amounts in the summary in table 5.4, (i)
explain what is the basis of calculation for these amounts. Also explain the importance of
this contribution for the implementation of the national program in the fight against HIV.
All of the other cost categories take up less than 10.5% of the total budget for the
proposal, except the heading Health products and health equipment which represents
12.06% of the budget for the proposal. Based on unit costs practised at the international
level by standard suppliers (Appendix B).
5.4.4 Measuring service unit cost and cost effectiveness
Provide the following:
(a) where available, estimates of recent average service delivery unit costs at the
program-level for key services with an explanation of how the estimates were
developed;
(b) estimates of the expected average service delivery unit costs for key services that are
included in the proposal; and
(c) a description of how key service delivery unit costs will be measured at the programlevel, over time throughout the lifecycle of the grant.
At the national level, the unit costs for the provision of services are part of the logic of
the continuity of costs applied in the implementation of the previous rounds (HIV,
Malaria and Tuberculosis). However, at all levels of the supply of essential services
described in this proposal (PMTCT, ARV) we have unitary costs for the main activities
entering into the supply of the said services.
Within the context of the supply of ARV treatments, the unitary costs for the essential
activities have been applied:

Training of a provider, calculated on the basis of the local cost of the workshop
applied to the number of participant (example: approximately 50 Euros for a
man/day of training)

Reagents for screening and biological monitoring, supply of OI medications,
ARV, condoms, equipment (cost on the international market)

Supervision at all levels (regional, district), calculated based on the local costs
and the duration (example: 65 Euros per day of supervision at the central level)
