92 into a legal and policy framework which will ensure that HIV&AIDS programmes are coordinated and streamlined across all spheres of government and national councils. In relation to HIV&AIDS, the Department of Basic Education provided leadership in areas of policy development, scaling up of programmes and establishment of systems for implementation, monitoring and evaluation. In relation to policy work, the department drafted and consulted on the National policy on HIV, STIs and TB for the schooling system. The department further approved peer educator and peer mentor manuals; approved the CSTL MER Framework; and the Guidelines for the Implementation of Peer Education Programmes for Learners in South African Schools. Most of this policy work was done in consultation with national stake holders, SADC, UNESCO, Futures group and other national stakeholders. On the other hand, the Department of Higher Education successfully launched the First things First campaign as part of the national HCT campaign targeting University Students. In year two of the NSP, the Department is institutionalizing campus health facilities targeting both staff and students in order to promote HIV treatment within the context of comprehensive employee health and wellness, primary health care as well as occupational health and safety. The Department has been granted R23 million to be utilised in mainstreaming HIV&AIDS into the curricula of different faculties and disciplines in all higher education centers. The DPSA and UNDP will be working with the department to provide capacity. This exercise will be done within the context of the Gender Sensitive Rights Based HIV&AIDS Mainstreaming Guidelines approved by Minister for Public Service to support government departments. The department is also supporting the DPSA in the development of Public Sector HIV&AIDS Capacity Development Plans to increase the capacity of the Public Sector in responding efficiently and effectively to the HIV&AIDS and TB epidemics at all spheres of government. Furthermore, the department is also working with three Universities (Pretoria, Wits and UCT) on Capacity Development for M&E of HIV&AIDS for all. The National Prosecuting Authority has historically piloted and ran the multidisciplinary facilities for women and children who are sexually violated. These facilities are mainly funded by donor resources. In year one and two of the implementation of the NSP, most of advocacy for government resources was done through engagement with National Treasury. All Thuthuzela centers are now fully funded by National Treasury. This work has been highly prioritised in Government and is overseen by Director-Generals Inter Departmental Committee to ensure effective implementation. This is a further reflection of South Africa’s commitment to a rights based gender sensitive response to the HIV&AIDS pandemic. In relation to and in response to its core mandate, the Department of Peformance Monitoring and Evaluation has ensured that each of the 164 national and provincial department have an outcome allocated to it some shared outcomes based on the Service Delivery Framework. In the first year of the NSP 2012-2016, HIV&AIDS mainstreaming indicators for each government department to report on were developed. All government departments are obliged to report to both the DPSA and the DPME on the implementation of their mainstreamed HIV&AIDS operational plans. 92
