Uganda Prisons Service Project Evaluation Protocol
REFNo: HS1307ES

Objectives of UPS Program Evaluation
i. To evaluate the targeted HTC models to improve earlier identification of HIV-positive and negative individuals, and linkage of people living with HIV (PLHIV) in prisons community and facility sites and linkage and promotion of HIV prevention among HIV-negative individuals
ii. To evaluate innovative approaches that increase adherence, ART retention, and viral load (VL) suppression among adult and pediatric HIV clients.
iii. To determine if there is improved identification of TB-infected individuals, effective scale up of comprehensive TB/HIV services at individual sites, and progress towards reduction of TB burden among HIV/TB co-infected clients within the CDC-supported prison facilities
iv. To evaluate innovative PMTCT & HEI approaches that increase identification of HIV-positive and syphilis-infected pregnant & breastfeeding women (PBFW), enhance immediate ART uptake, adherence and retention, VL suppression and syphilis treatment among PBFW, reduce MTCT rates of HIV and syphilis and ensure documentation of 18 month final outcome status for all HEIs
v. To evaluate innovative interventions that are designed to improve data quality and data utilization for program evidence-based decision making at the facility level
vi. To determine if the strengthening of the existing laboratory network and its quality management systems increased the ART initiation and ART monitoring at the facility level.
vii. To determine the relationship between regional prison level performance reviews and human resource (HR) performance on facility performance including access, coverage, retention and loss to follow up.
