Project Description

The Supporting Public sector workplaces to Expand Action and Responses against HIV and AIDS, (SPEAR) project was a five-year USAID/PEPFAR funded initiative for supporting the Ministries of Internal Affairs (MoIA) Local Government (MoLG) and Education and Sports (MoES) to enhance HIV/AIDS prevention, care and treatment of male and female public sector workers for selected workplaces in Uganda. RTI had four distinct responsibilities: (1) developing contextualized sectoral workplace HIV/AIDS policies in the Ministries of Education, Local Government, and International Affairs, as well as in the major semi-autonomous departments such as the Uganda Police, Prisons and Districts; (2) building institutional and technical capacity of each Ministry and Department to disseminate and enforce these policies; (3) strengthening the evidence base of programming across all thematic areas of the project, including design implementation and analysis of all baseline and sectoral assessments, and operations research; and (4) linking health facilities within the Uganda Police and Prison services to other USG implementing partners carrying out Safe Medical Circumcision throughout Uganda.
