...So glad you asked !
BOCAIP is moving full steam ahead with implementing the Maatla Project. I went with Mma Kwape and a team of advisors from FHI360, the American NGO coordinating the Maatla Project, on a site visit to the village of Molepolole. We visited the Orphans and Vulnerable Children (OVC) day care centre and the HIV counselling and testing centre to see some of BOCAIP's projects in action.

BOCAIP also launched a project funded by the South African Development Community (SADC), through which support is provided via umbrella organization in Botswana, Zambia, and Zimbabwe to develop the organizational capacity of 10 civil society organizations in each country working to address HIV and AIDS. BOCAIP was selected as the organization to lead this project in Botswana. I will be working with BOCAIP to ensure links are made, and lessons shared, with partners working on the Maatla Project. The umbrella organizations from Zambia and Zimbabwe, along with BOCAIP, are participating in Train the Trainer sessions this week in Gaborone.
