Harnessing the Power of Cross-sectoral Programming to Alleviate HIV/AIDS and Food Insecurity
Did it work?• Project consisted of a longitudinal impact assessment
component implemented by Tufts University. These assessments showed improvements in assets, sources of income, etc. (can be found in Tufts’ webpage)
• The studies also showed that some interventions were more effective than others, e.g. VSLA, Honey VC.
• Various qualitative analysis such as focus groups, case studies showed significant improvements.
• No quantitative assessment to determine the % of HHs graduating from food insecurity was conducted.
• Among the HHS graduated by the food security task forces from targeted woradas the ratio of PSNP Plus HHs was over 70%.
• Food security task forces in different woradas determined graduation based on HH assets as well as other factors such as budget available, etc.

Group Exercise
• Taking the above into account, how would redesign this project? Focus your discussion on:– Targeting– Services (direct and indirect)– Strategies to reach most vulnerable
such as HIV/AIDS affected; women headed HHs and widows.

Harnessing the Power of Cross-sectoral Programming to Alleviate HIV/AIDS and Food Insecurity
Lessons learned
• Resiliency strategies –Climate change, nutrition, women empowerment, aspirations
• Multiple value chains and off-farm IG activities (manage risks)
• Targeting – include lead/model farmers also
• VSLAs were effective, but needed a coordinated approach (of VSLA, Cooperatives, MFIs and Commercial Banks) to meet the need for finance
• Less labor intensive VCs for HIV affected HHs – honey, poultry
