| Description: | Getting to ZERO is a five-year program to reduce human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) impact, vulnerability and risk and to increase uptake and retention of high-impact HIV services among orphans and vulnerable children (OVC) and adolescents in targeted communities in Zimbabwe. The strategic objectives of Getting to ZERO are to improve the health, nutrition, psychosocial wellbeing, retention of children in schools, as well as reduction in abuse of children affected by HIV in Zimbabwe. Subject to availability of funds, the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) intends to provide approximately $35,000,000 in total funding for this program. Getting to ZERO directly aligns with the goal of Government of Zimbabwe’s (GOZ) National HIV and acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) Strategic Plan. The program seeks to advance local ownership of a comprehensive, integrated, community-based AIDS response to mitigate the impact of HIV on orphans and vulnerable children. The program will support families and communities to increase the resilience of vulnerable children and other family members and to reduce vulnerability to HIV infection. The program will contribute to achievement of the President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) and UNAIDS 90-90-90 goals by strengthening community platforms to engage with, and support the devolution and scale up of, clinical services at the local level. Getting to ZERO will only be implemented in the PEPFAR priority Districts (see Annex1), and will coordinate closely in these areas with existing services funded by the GOZ, PEPFAR |
