Projects implementation started in November 2004 and since that time, KEBA Africa has successfully managed more than 15 projects with local and international funding from the ILO, World Bank, DFID, Ghana AIDS Commission, National AIDS Control Programme, CONCERN Universal, Ministry of Finance, Ministry of Education, CFAO, Cadbury, SHELL among others. The main emphasis has been on HIV and STI prevention, promotion of HIV testing and counselling (HTC), HIV/AIDS treatment, care and support. Currently, KEBA Africa is implementing the community mobilization and counselling and testing (VCT) component of an HIV/AIDS intervention in Greater Accra, Western, Ashanti and Brong Ahafo region as part of the Global Fund Round 8 Project (GFR8). The global fund was set up in 2002 as an independent financial instrument to augment funding of country programmes for HIV/AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria in developing countries. For this project, KEBA Africa is equipping selected CBOs with the skills to implement community mobilization activities at the district level.

The project is being implemented at the district level in close collaboration with District Directors of Health Services, HIV/AIDS Focal Persons and District Assemblies.
