These funds are programmed to support a TBD ARV program for refugees in Botswana. Despite the recent

increase in refugee influx to Botswana, especially following the political crisis in neighboring Zimbabwe, the

Government has retained the policy of not providing ARVs for non-citizens. Treating refugees, however, will

reduce transmission of new HIV infection among non-citizens in addition to saving lives. To this effect,

PEPFAR-Botswana decided to provide a temporary solution to the problem while negotiations with the GOB

continue in order to fina a sustainable solution. One-third of this money ($100,000) is planned to come from

funds allocated for Partnership Framework development. The effect of this funding decision on country soft

and hard earmarks are neglible.
