PEPFAR
How to Become A PEPFAR Partner And Receive Funding
An Annual Program Statement (APS) solicits applications for funding (also described as awards) from prospective new partners to support implementation of the United States President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) in South Africa.
The APS provides information on program areas that will receive funding and also provides detailed information on the application process. The APS is an open competition.
Note: An alternative source of funding more appropriate for smaller community-based organizations and programs is the Ambassador's HIV/AIDS Small Grants Program.
The U.S. Government is presently requesting applications from prospective partners that support the PEPFAR initiative.The goals of the initiative are to:
- Prevent 7 million new HIV infections
- Treat at least 2 million HIV-infected people
- Care for 10 million HIV-affected individuals and AIDS orphans and vulnerable children
PEPFAR developed specific country-level targets for South Africa. Results generated under this APS are expected to contribute to achieving the following:
- Prevent 1.75 million new HIV infections
- Treat at least 500,000 HIV-infected people
- Care for 2.5 million HIV-affected individuals and AIDS orphans and vulnerable children
PEPFAR is a $15 billion, five-year, unified government initiative, directed by the U.S. Office of the Global AIDS Coordinator (OGAC), and implemented in collaboration with the US Department of State, the US Agency for International Development (USAID), the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and other USG Agencies. PEPFAR funds projects that support the South Africa Government’s HIV and AIDS and STI Strategic Plan for South Africa, 2007-2011, http://www.doh.gov.za/docs/stratplan-f.html and the Comprehensive Plan for HIV and AIDS Care, Management and Treatment, http://www.info.gov.za/issues/hiv/careplan.htm. Applications should support the initiatives and priorities of the South African national and/or provincial governments.
