2. Description of the project
Kenya Red Cross Society (KRCS) is the non-state Principal Recipient (PR) for the Global Fund HIV Grant, running from July 2021 to June 2024 (NFM3). The goal of the grant is to contribute to the attainment of universal health coverage through comprehensive HIV prevention, treatment and care for all people in Kenya with the objectives to reduce: new HIV infections by 75%, AIDs related mortality by 50% as well as HIV related stigma and discrimination to less than 25%.Human rights and gender-related barriers to health have long blocked national responses to HIV, TB and malaria, including stigma and discrimination; gender inequality and violence; punitive practices, policies, and laws; and social and economic inequality. These barriers are pervasive and interfere across the prevention and treatment continuum, keeping key and vulnerable populations away from primary healthcare services, including HIV, TB, and malaria services. Access to justice for human rights violations remains a challenge, particularly for key and vulnerable populations. This is largely due to low awareness on legal rights, inefficiencies within law enforcement institutions and underutilization of available avenues for dispute resolution.
The success of HIV prevention efforts is dependent on protecting and promoting the rights of those who are socially excluded, silenced, and vulnerable to recognize rights violations, assert and defend their rights through individual and collective action. Access to justice is a fundamental right, as well as a prerequisite for the protection of all other human rights. Community paralegals and STOP GBV champions are critical resource in enhancing the capacity of key populations, adolescents and young people and people living with HIV (PLHIV) on matters of legal and human rights. The paralegals facilitate legal redress in the community through identification of human rights violations and link the survivors to legal support services. The paralegals are therefore able to support the beneficiaries in addressing the violations, enhance access to justice and referrals at the community level. Human rights are central to effective responses to HIV and TB and are inseparably linked with the spread and impact of HIV on individuals and communities. The spread of HIV and TB and its impact are exacerbated in situations where human rights are not respected, protected, and promoted, coupled together with non-supportive policies and laws, these leads to the outcomes of stigma and violence towards the persons living with HIV (PLHIV and affected by HIV TB/DRTB. Hence, creating an environment that is not conducive to provide HIV prevention, treatment, and Care services for the PLHIV and TB and minimal uptake and utilization of services by the community. With this, the prevalence therefore will rise, and the communities will be strained and economies.
KRCS has trained and engaged 600 paralegals, 224 STOP GBV champions, 160 PWDs champions and engaged violence prevention and response (VPR) teams to prevent and respond to survivors of violence through the sub recipients. KRCS has also reached 44,115 with know your rights campaigns ,2720 with legal aids clinics and 1568 duty bearer during the period July to June 2022. The paralegals provide a crucial link to justice services and legal redress in the community, provide dispute resolution mechanisms and legal support that is accessible and informed by a deep understanding of the social issues and everyday challenges facing adolescents and young people (AYPs), People living with HIV (PLHIVs) and affected by HIV TB DRTB and Key populations (KPs), They inform the beneficiaries on their legal rights and help them solve legal problems through offering legal advice and referrals. They provide an avenue for alternative dispute resolutions and liaising with pro bono lawyers and other legal aids organizations as well as screen, capture, and reports on human rights violations. The STOP GBV champions on the other hand offers counselling to GBV survivors, escorting clients to police and health centres, conducting community sensitization thereby influencing change in the social norm. The know your rights (KYR) campaigns have been forums where the beneficiaries are sensitized about their rights and how to claim their rights when violated. The KYR forums also provide opportunities for screening, capturing, and reporting of human rights violations. In addition, the legal aids clinics are targeted and bring together beneficiaries whose cases the paralegals and STOP GBV champions are not able to handle to be supported and addressed by the pro bono lawyers.
The advocacy forums for duty bearers and right holders (KPs, AYPs PLHIVs and affected by HIV TB DRTB) are forums for dialogues to discuss HIV, TB, and human rights violations as a barrier to access service and advocate for enabling environment to ensure access to services at the county level.
KRCS is therefore seeking to recruit a qualified consultant is to document compendium of cases, success stories and innovations on reducing human rights related barriers to HIV/TB services focussing on adolescents and young people (AYPs), Key Populations (KPs) Persons with disabilities (PWDs)and People living with HIV and affected by HIV TB /DRTB in 24 counties.
