UPDATED FOR FY09

New Activity

The entire Department of Defense (DoD) program at post, of which PEPFAR is a small but growing portion,

is managed by one locally engaged staff (LES), and the Embassy's political officer. The program is

overseen by the Office of Defense Cooperation (ODC) Chief in Botswana and the Naval Health Research

Center in San Diego, California. All salaries are paid centrally by DoD out of the ODC office (for the FSN)

and DoS (for the political officer). Post incurs minor costs related to ICASS-funded financial management

operations used in the disbursement of funds to partners, and local and regional travel in support of the

management of the program. DoD supports HIV/AIDS prevention care and treatment programs for the

Malawi Defense Force (MDF).

Compact Funding Program Plans

With a growing military health and HIV/AIDS program, there will be larger management needs for the

PEPFAR DoD program that will require additional funding.

Prior to FY09, there has been no direct budget for his training and travel for site visits. FY09 funding will

provide opportunities for the FSN to attend training with a neighboring Department of HIV and AIDS

Prevention Program (DHAPP) Program Manager, as well as to attend relevant training for Program

Managers in the US. FY09 funding will also be used to send MDF personnel to military HIV conferences

such as (but not specifically) the Military Prevention Conference in Gaborone, Botswana. DoD is requesting

$20,000 in Compact resources for these activities.

NOTE: The planned partner for this activity is the Department of State. Following negotiations of the

Compact, should this be approved, funds will be programmed directly to the Department of State to support

this activity on behalf of DOD
