Output 1.2. Options enabled and facilitated for inclusive and sustainable social protection
1: Others
The Project is rated very highly for leveraging government and non-government partnerships in the most outstanding manner. It tapped into social protection champions and sympathetic civil servants, networks of positive persons, civil society and staff in DAPCU. The Project also made full use of innovative approaches like social protection camps to create demand for services and awareness.
Overall, the Project was a timely and relevant initiative that provided support to NACO in the operationalization of mainstreaming activities under NACP-IV. The outcomes have been remarkable – the Project created enabling legal and policy environment, contributed to understanding and reducing stigma, worked towards equal rights for the sexual minorities especially transgender, improved uptake of social protection schemes, and positioned social protection at a higher level as a means to mitigate HIV impact. With the rolling out of the HIV/AIDS (Prevention and Control) Act, 2017 and the Transgender Bill, which will eventually be enacted as an Act, there is further work to be done till the PLHIV and high-risk groups are mainstreamed in the society.
