Setting the Public Service and Administration Context

• “Our work as the MPSA over the mid-term period of 2010 - 2014 will be informed by Outcome 12 as adopted at the January 2010 Cabinet Lekgotla which is to ensure:

"An efficient, effective and development orientated public service and empowered, fair and inclusive citizenship".

Mainstreaming Defined• Mainstreaming AIDS is a process that enables development actors to address the

causes and effects of AIDS in an effective and sustained manner, both through their usual work and within their workplace.

• Mainstreaming addresses both the direct and indirect aspects of HIV and AIDS within the context of the normal functions of an organization or community.

• It entails sector analysis of how HIV and AIDS can impact a sector now and in the future, and considers how sectoral policies, decisions and actions might influence the longer-term development of the epidemic and the sector.

• To respond effectively to the epidemic, it requires exceptional responses that demonstrate timeliness, scale, inclusiveness, partnerships, innovation and responsiveness.

• In other words, to stay on top of the rapidly evolving epidemics, actions need to be incorporated into sectors’ normal operations while simultaneously continue seeking innovations and extending new partnerships.

Drivers of the Epidemic: SADC Think Tank 2006

• Social and structural Drivers:– High Population Mobility (and or residence close to major roads)– Inequalities of wealth (unemployment and deprivation)– Gender and social inequality ( transactional sex, social resonance with MCP)

• Contributing Drivers:– Male attitude and behaviors – Intergenerational Sex– Gender and Sexual Violence– Stigma and lack of openness– Untreated viral STIs

• Key Drivers:– Multiple and Concurrent Partnerships by men and women– Low consistent condom use– Low levels of male circumcision

• Other Sources: HSRC 2008 Population Survey, KYE KYR Report etc.

SA and Mainstreaming of HIV&AIDS: Where we come from

• Entry Point to mainstreaming HIV&AIDS:– Capacity Development (TOT Training) – HCT Campaign

• Mainstreaming in Local Government: Guidelines on Local Government and Traditional Affairs launched in 2008 and implemented in Municipalities and currently implemented

• Mainstreaming is a Policy Measure in “HIV&AIDS and TB Management Policy for the Public Sector” approved by MPSA in 2009 for implementation with effect from 1 April 2010

SA and Mainstreaming of HIV&AIDS: Where we going to

• National and Provincial Government departments should present their operational plans for 2011/2012 financial year by 30 March 2011

• The OP should reflect and be linked to the NSP 2007-2011 or PSP

• The OPs must be costed and address both internal and external mainstreaming and have results and indicators of success for both.

• A costed M&E plan (7-10% of operational cost) for the OP should also be submitted to DPSA by 30 March 2011.
