This ICHA Fact Sheet (#5) aims at briefly describing the Ministry's Output Based Incentive (OBI) scheme that encourage and reward staff performance for those who actively participate in the Ministry's HIV and AIDS programme.This manual sets out the basis of the scheme which broadly parallels similar arrangements that have already been introduced at the National Centre for HIV/AIDS, Dermatology and STDs (NCHADS) and the National AIDS Authority. (NAA) Whilst each scheme is tailored to the needs of the respective organisations, the objectives are similar. Within the MoEYS these are to: Encourage the effective implementation of the MoEYS HIV/AIDS programmeStimulate new ways of working that recognise the need for good performance; Reward those who deliver outputs according to the level at which these are achieved. The scheme provides performance incentives to three groups of staff within the MoEYS who have responsibility for delivering the HIV/AIDS programme overseen by the Ministry's Interdepartmental Committee for HIV/AIDS (ICHA). These are: Directors and Focal Point Leaders in selected MoEYS Technical Departments; Staff forming the Secretariat that coordinates and enables the programme; Staff forming the Finance Department Project Task Team (FDPTT) which administers the programme funds.
