Maisha Program Phase II (UNICEF)

Overview

The Government of Kenya, UNICEF, EGPAF, and other organizations partnered to implement the Maisha MTCT-free Zone Initiative as part of Kenya’s National AIDS Strategic Plan III 2008 – 2013 to scale up prevention of mother-to-child transmission of HIV (PMTCT) services to 90% of all public sector facilities, reach 1,398,000 women with PMTCT services, and ensure that at least 80% of pregnant women testing positive for HIV receive antiretroviral medication to prevent MTCT and/or for their own health. EGPAF played a key role as a technical assistance provider to facilities in the Nyanza region.
