DOD supports the Ghana Armed Forces' efforts in HIV/AIDS prevention, care and treatment. Four new

positions are proposed to support the FY08 COP: a full-time DOD staff member to oversee the

implementation of the program with the Ghana Armed Forced; a full-time person to support the M&E and SI

needs of the program, programmed under the SI Program Area Context, two full time counselors for the

Ghana Armed Forces budgeted under the C&T program area.

DOD will work with USAID and its implementers to ensure that the SI position is fully integrated into the

entire spectrum of SI activities, especially when related to service statistics. This will be an important topic

for the SFR discussions. Presently, the Training Coordinator is spending 20% of her time on HIV/AIDS but

is not financed from PEFAR funds.

Cost of doing business: no ICASS of IRM taxes are involved.
