title:

Subject to availability of donor funding (including by Sida and/or other possible donors) and in close consultation with respective national stakeholders, develop project document for an expanded CEEP model-based project for replication within the same six participating countries and also in other countries along the target transport corridors that are likely to have a contagious effect on the gains made through the project including Namibia, Lesotho, Swaziland, Botswana and Kenya targeting poor communities that are vulnerable to HIV infection due to lack of economic empowerment. The project document should at least include lessons learned during the current phase; relevant baseline data and clearly defined; time-bound and “not-so” ambitious trackable indicators of achievements; implementation plan matrix and responsible actors; stronger project components in terms of mentorship, experiential learning and market intelligence/market access interventions; more detailed and elaborate consultative framework with a wider range of potential implementation partners e.g. UN Women, local BSSs, and MFIs; an effective and executable PPP strategy towards maximizing leveraging of external support/resources e.g. through more frequent road shows and trade fairs; project communication strategy; and a clear exit plan. The focus should also be on the spouses (both young men and women) as this proofed to be more effective compared to focusing on women alone
