Objective 2. 1. Using the data from the identified disproportionate population identified, Grantee will develop and implement outreach campaigns to identify and train trusted messengers to deliver COVID-19 vaccine safety and effectiveness to these communities and populations. These trusted messengers can include, but are not limited to:
Objective 2. To ensure that any use of waterbirds in the Agreement area is sustainable (AP Headings A, C) Successfully tackling the issue of unsustainable use of waterbirds is a key prerequisite for achieving the goal of this strategic plan. The desired result under this objective is that by 2017, across the AEWA region, a number of unsustainable practices will be eliminated, while facilitating processes will be introduced and implemented. Five targets have been set to this effect:
Objective 2. CONTRACTOR shall obtain from eighty percent (80%) of 5 Participants, the completed CESI within thirty (30) calendar days of admission, and the CEST shall be 6 completed at mid-point and at completion for those Participants receiving at a minimum forty-five (45) 7 calendar days of treatment.
Objective 2. To make full use of the pool and buildings by providing a range of leisure, health related and creative activities suitable for people of all cultural backgrounds, ages and lifestyles.
Objective 2. To develop and compare different methods of measuring oxidised Hg and to accurately compare Hgtot concentrations in generated standard gases for Hg(0) and Hg(II). This includes methods for bulk and species-specific, e.g. Hg(0) and Hg(II), isotope ratio measurements to determine Hg migration pathways, its origin and species interconversion. Laser Ablation Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (LA ICP-MS) was developed by partner LGC as a method to determine Hgtot in activated carbon (AC) traps and was fully validated (Figure 5).
Objective 2. Reduce individual risk behaviors and strengthen support for positive social norms and structures at the community level 39
Objective 2. Reduce individual risk behaviors and strengthen support for positive social norms and structures at the community level Behavioral Interventions In renewing its commitment to reduce HIV transmission and increase early ART initiation, adherence and therefore viral suppression, the Sauti project aims to continue addressing social factors and behaviors that put KVPs at risk. In order to identify the causes of behaviors and the social structures that drive the epidemic in order to tackle the factors that increase risk and vulnerability, SBCC interventions continue to be an important part of the Sauti project’s combination prevention package. While continuing to rollout SBCC and gender norms services, the project will continue providing technical assistance to MOHCDGCE (through NACP and Health Promotion and Education departments) and TACAIDS, to review policy documents and SBCC materials and build LGA capacity on KVP programming. The Sauti project will also collaborate with the USAID-funded Tulonge Afya project and other partners to support the “Test and Start” campaign. In FY19, the Sauti project will also continue to implement activities aiming at improving positive behaviors and social norms at the individual, interpersonal and community levels in order to reduce HIV transmission and acquisition as well as increase uptake of HTS, HIVST, PrEP, FP services, early ART initiation, ART adherence and viral load suppression in line with the national Test and Start campaign. These interventions will continue to be delivered through local NGOs/CSOs with close engagement of peer network. The interventions help beneficiaries et goals for themselves and understand and restructure self-justifying or contradictory thinking. The education will continue focusing on ensuring that beneficiaries are feeling differently about themselves and their behavioral risks, rather than simply receiving new information. However, since beneficiaries’ behavior is not the only factor driving the epidemic, the Sauti project uses a five-level social-ecological model (figure 5) to understand HIV risk and transmission and ART initiation and adherence, and the effect of prevention and treatment strategies. This model considers the complex interplay between individual, family and peers, community, service delivery and societal factors. The overlapping rings in the model illustrate how factors at one level influence factors at another level. Besides clarifying factors, the model also suggests that ...
Objective 2. One of the critical assumptions for estimating absolute abundance using the conventional distance sampling methods that were used previously (e.g. as in Gerrodette et al. 2008) is that all schools on the transect line are detected. However, questions have been raised concerning whether probability of detection of schools on the transect line – often referred to as g(0) – is close to one in all sea states up to Beaufort 5 (Table 3; Xxxxxx 2015). Therefore, to meet Objective 2, methods will be needed to estimate this probability, and how it varies by sea state. Given that some schools that were initially close to the line may be evading detection, these methods should accommodate responsive movement and behavioral responses. If Objective 2 is selected, a trial survey would be necessary to determine the efficacy of new survey methods for estimation of g(0).
Objective 2. CONTRACTOR shall At least ten percent (10%) of all participants will start
