Evaluering
End term evaluation of the bondo/siaya household livelihood security (lok pachi) project
Bondo/Siaya household livelihood security project was initiated as a response to the social economic impacts of HIV and AIDS. The project was premised on the higher prevalence of both HIV and AIDS and poverty in the project area. The main objectives of the project were to economically empower the direct beneficiaries and members of their households and to help reduce HIV&AIDS stigma through enhanced advocacy, improved knowledge and access to psychosocial support services. Specifically, the project had two main objectives upon which all its activities were anchored while mainstreaming gender across project interventions. These were: 1. To increase the economic capacity of the target community through improving access to credit from personal savings of up to about KES 8 Million portfolio among the 5,000 savings and lending group members in Siaya and Bondo Districts by 2009. 2. To increase HIV&AIDS Awareness among the 5,000 GS&L group members and their communities on HIV/ AIDS and gender to reduce stigma in Siaya and Bondo Districts by 2009.
