Housing & HIV/AIDS relationship in Dar es Salaam context

About 75% of people living in Dar es Salaam are slum dwellers.

Some areas are structured but very few remains consistent

structured

Impact of lack of planning, monitoring and evaluation -

inconsistence programs by government or people living in the area

have cased previous structured areas to changed into slums.

HIV/AIDS doesn’t select but about 90% of HIV/AIDS affected people

in Dar Es salaam came from slums.

NB:- Thus in DSM case; Planning, monitoring & evaluation is very

important to minimize the spread and effects of HIV/AIDS

Dar es salaam slums with no clean water supply, poor sanitation and poor infrastructure.

Experience in planning, monitoring & evaluation

Planning, Monitoring and Evaluation Cycle

Planning

Setting objectives to achieve and how should be achieved, is a

planning

Monitoring and evaluation are best done when there has been

proper planning against which to assess progress and

achievements. Community inclusion & participation in designing projects to suit their needs

Consideration of Performance framework (PFM), Logic model and Result based

management (RBM)

Monitoring

Monitoring is the systematic collection and analysis of information as

a project progresses. It is aimed at improving the efficiency and

effectiveness of a project or organisation.

Collection of information

Analysis of the information

Efficiency and effectiveness of the projects conducted

Involvement of the management towards improving performance of the

projects

Evaluation

Evaluation is the comparison of actual project impacts against the

plan. Number of projects performed and its impact to the community

Achievement of the projects against the plan

How the achievements accomplished

Challenges and measures to overcome them

Maximization of the results (What should be done to maximize the results)

Mainstreaming HIV/AIDS in housing sector

Mainstreaming HIV/AIDS can be defined as the process of analysing

how HIV & AIDS impacts on all sectors now and in the future, both

internally and externally, to determine how each sector should

respond based on its comparative advantage. Tanzanian government initiated TACAIDS as a commission to deal with HIV/AIDS

issue in the country.

Different NGOs and CSOs separately have been conducting different projects such

as TOV3, CARE & TREATMENT, TB/HIV (MDH). PEDIATRIC TB/HIV CENTRE OF

EXCELLENCE (KINONDONI MUNICIPAL)

WAT-HST also have mainstreamed HIV/AIDS elements in its community

interventions to bring awareness to her staff members, constructors, board

members and clients. (MDH, Temeke Distict Hospital, T. MARC Tanzania and PSI are some

of the organizations WAT-HST has been partnering with)

Mainstreaming HIV/AIDS in housing sector….

From experience the housing organization can put in place a plan which

consider HIV/AIDS aspect such as in every 100 houses sold to community

15 must be sold to client living with HIV/AIDS among them 7 must be to

women.

In this aspects the monitoring and evaluation will be able to track down if

there are enough number of client living with HIV/AIDS in the project to

buy those houses

After every certain number of houses evaluation can be done to evaluate

what happen during implementation phase. Lesson learnt can be

duplicated to future projects.

Mainstreaming HIV/AIDS in housing sector…..

Transforming poor settlements to better settlements can help reduce HIV/AIDS transmission and the attached impacts to the community.
