The follow-on project of FUTURES/HPI is expected to be a cooperative agreement designed to provide technical assistance in advocacy, health policy planning and implementation.

Under the PFIP, the need was identified to address policies that improve equitable and affordable access to HIV-related services; address stigma and discrimination; address human resource gaps; and improve the local financing and of the national response. In addition, as Ghana develops its third National Strategic Plan, USG continues to provide support in the costing of HIV interventions to improve the prioritization of activities.

Funding for Health Systems Strengthening (OHSS): $0

OHSS funding will be used to gather additional information about the costs of various interventions. PMTCT and CSW interventions will be costed so that Ghana can accurately plan for the proposed scale-up of PMTCT and MARP interventions. Opportunities for task-shifting will continue to be explored based on projections for human resource needs and current staffing patterns

In addition, funding will contribute to the further development of a policy strategy to address stigma and discrimination against PLHIV and other MARP groups.
