Detailed Mechanism Funding and Narrative

Details for Mechanism ID: 11719
Country/Region: Mozambique
Year: 2009
Main Partner: To Be Determined
Main Partner Program: NA
Organizational Type: Implementing Agency
Funding Agency: USAID
Total Funding: $0

Funding for Sexual Prevention: Abstinence/Be Faithful (HVAB): $0

April09 Reprogramming: Reduced $500,000.

This is a new activity under COP09.

This activity will allow for flexible funding to respond to future programming needs around reduction of

Multiple, Concurrent Partnerships (MCP) and the socio-cultural factors that drive this and other risky

behavior. Identification for the need for such flexible funding comes from 1) increased PEPFAR

participation in joint planning and strategizing sessions with GRM and other donors through technical

working groups for MARPs, Communications and MCP; and 2) from the momentum around combination

prevention/MCP fueled by the USG/Mozambique and USG/South Africa joint efforts towards a COP 09

Sexual Prevention PHE concept paper that in the end was not submitted. Many communications between

USAID/Mozambique and USAID/SA have continued around possible collaborative efforts, interventions or

technical meetings around BCC, especially MCP. Various national and regional analyses (e.g. August 2008

Mozambique Modes of Transmission UNAIDS analysis, 2006 SADC Southern African epidemiological

analysis Data) show the key driver of the epidemic in this region and in the country to be the pervasive

practice of multiple and concurrent partnerships (MCP). The DHS and other local studies indicate that MCP

in Mozambique primarily involves HIV transmission as consenting sexual behavior between adults, who are

usually above age 25 in both sexes.

This activity will support either USG-only activiites, interventions or technical conferences around BCC

and/or will support collaborative interventions, campaigns, national or regional technical conferences around

BCC with GFM and other donors.
