Towards the last month of the 3 quarter (April 2011), Kawempe Youth Development Association (KYDA) took a bold step of developing this strategic plan in a deeply consultative manner, what has emerged from this process is a document that is firmly grounded in the contemporary realities of the KYDA organization. For us we are charged with the task of rolling it out, this is an exciting as well as a challenging opportunity! I would like to extend my thanks to the outgoing chair person and the reference group for steering this process and handling over to me a product ready for use. With the team at KYDA, let me pledge that we shall do our best to bring this strategy to life in manner that will fulfill the Aspirations of HIV positive children, OVC, care givers and other children affected by HIV/AIDS and ultimately contribute to their satisfaction Mrs. Lwanga Josephine Incoming chair person

2.0 The HIV/AIDS and OVC situation in Uganda The first clinical case of AIDS in Uganda was reported in 1982. In the 1990s, Uganda had one of the highest HIV prevalence rate of 30% among 15-49 year olds in 1999. Since then, HIV prevalence has halved and is now reported to be 6.7%. HIV prevalence among high risk groups is also reported to have fallen, from 35% in 1999 to 12-15% in 2003. According to the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief Uganda Country profile report (2007), over 1,000,000 Ugandans are estimated to be living with HIV, out of whom 520,000 are women and 110,000 are children. The number of children orphaned by the HIV epidemic is estimated at 2,000,000. And 20,000 HIV positive infants are born every year to HIV positive mothers. The primary modes of transmission of HIV include unprotected heterosexual sex; mother-to-child transmission of HIV; sero-discordance among married and unmarried couples; transactional sex; cross-generational sex; and internal mobility and displacement. From Figure 1 below, the trends of median HIV prevalence in major urban centres and other areas have been declining since 1992. The median HIV prevalence started stabilizing in 1999 through to 2005. The trend of events has had a similar pattern in the urban and rural areas of the country.

Although the HIV prevalence in Uganda is reported to have declined, it still claims thousands of lives each year. This has severe consequences on the social and economic development indices since it usually claims lives of people in the productive age categories. This depletes the country's labour force, and weakens educational and health services. The epidemic leaves behind hordes of orphaned children and grandparents thus putting an additional burden on the social fabrics of community or the state. 2.0 Status of OVC in Uganda Uganda has a population of over 28 million people of which 14 million are children under age 15 and about 1.8 million children are orphans. The estimated number of orphans due to AIDS is 890,000 (45.6% of all orphans). About 3 million are categorized as vulnerable children and one in every 4 households has at least one orphan. According to the National Orphans and Other Vulnerable Children Policy, an orphan is defined as a child below 18 years of age who has lost one or both parents .A vulnerable child is defined as one who based on a set of criteria when compared to other children bears a substantive risk of suffering significant physical, emotional or mental harm that may result in their human rights not being fulfilled. About 25 % of all households have at least one orphan (UBOS, 2000/01). national level, the vulnerable children include: child labourers, HIV positive children, orphan hood due At to HIV, out of school children, children living in child headed households or older person headed

3.0 The strategic Plan KYDA strategic plan is yet another milestone in the journey towards guiding user friendly services for the OVCs in Uganda. The plan aims at protecting the young positives through providing them with life skills and services that make them leave meaningful and productive lives. This plan will further guide the implementation of KYDA interventions focusing on OVC care and support, child rights protection and referral and preventive services for STIs and treatment of HIV opportunistic infections. It will in addition be used as a resource mobilization and monitoring and evaluation tool to ensure effective and efficient resource utilization. 3.1 The Strategic Planning Process The process adopted in developing this strategic plan was inclusive and participatory. It involved the KYDA staff and the board at the various levels of its development. A workshop setting, documents review and continuous consultative approaches we the main methods used in developing this strategic plan. The strategic planning process provided a clear focus on KYDA strategic direction through adopting strategic options. The purpose was to reinforce the buy-in element that will facilitate ownership and implementation of the plan.
