Global Fund HIV Prevention Program – NFM3

The global fund HIV prevention project is a three- and half-year project that is funded by Global Fund through the Kenya Red Cross Society as the principal recipient. GLOBCOM is a sub-recipient and a community implementor of the project in Alego Usonga sub-county, Siaya county. The project is a continuation of a previous phase, GF HIV prevention program NFM 2, which ran from Jan 2019 to June 2021. The project is targeting five specific population groups which are; adolescent and young persons, people living with HIV, pregnant and lactating mothers who are on HIV care and treatment, discordant couples and men in high risk setting. The objectives of the program are in line with the goals of the Kenya AIDS Strategic Framework II which aims to deliver a HIV free society in Kenya by reducing new HIV infections by 75%, reducing HIV related mortality by 50% and reducing stigma and discrimination related to HIV to less than 25%.
