Main Partner Program: NA
Organizational Type: Own Agency
Funding Agency: USAID
Total Funding: $10,870,498

Funding for Biomedical Prevention: Prevention of Mother to Child Transmission (MTCT): $98,452

ACTIVITY DESCRIPTION:

This activity represents the "fully-loaded" costs of a full-time Nigerian technical program officer for PMTCT.

This is a continuing position.

The PMTCT officer's responsibilities include: 1) representing the USG in technical discussions with the

GON, 2) overseeing technical aspects of the program, including program management and oversight of

partners to ensure high-quality and accountable programs, 3) interfacing with O/GAC Technical working

groups, and 4) interfacing with the USG/Nigeria team's prevention and treatment technical working groups.

This person will work to ensure a harmonized, consistent, and relevant technical approach across USG

Agencies and amongst all partners implementing PMTCT programs. The officer will also provide a

significant level of in-field technical and monitoring support, as the PMTCT program area will be expanding

greatly over the coming year, both in terms of dollar value and in terms of numbers of service delivery

points. This advisor spends 100% of the time advising in the PMTCT program area.

The budget represents the loaded costs for this staffer, with the exception of ICASS costs (see another

submission in this program area) and IT Tax costs, which are captured under the USAID Agency M&S line.

Funding for Sexual Prevention: Abstinence/Be Faithful (HVAB): $453,140

ACTIVITY DESCRIPTION:

This activity represents the "fully-loaded" costs of a full-time Nigerian technical advisor for sexual

prevention, funded via the AB budget line, and the fully-loaded costs of his full-time technical and

administrative support staff which includes one program officer, two program assistants and an

administrative assistant. The strategic shift undertaken by the National Prevention TWG to mandate a

minimum package of prevention services requires a significant level of programmatic guidance and

oversight for the partners, and the robust integrated prevention team provides the technical leadership

required for an appropriate response. Oversight, supervision, mentoring, and capacity-building needs are

significant and burdensome for the wide portfolio of prevention partners. The entire prevention team

contributes to meeting these needs by making regular supervision visits to the field—twice monthly by

technical advisors and program officers, and monthly by the support staff.

The sexual prevention team's responsibilities include: 1) representing the USG in technical discussions

with the GON, 2) overseeing technical aspects of the program, including program management and

oversight of partners to ensure high-quality and accountable programs, 3) interfacing with O/GAC Technical

working groups, and 4) participating in the USG prevention working group. As USAID has the technical

lead for this program area within the USG team, this fourth responsibility is key to ensuring a harmonized,

consistent and relevant technical approach across USG Agencies and amongst all partners implementing

sexual prevention programs. The prevention advisor spends 100% of his time advising in this program area

and does not have primary program responsibilities in any other program area.

The budget represents the loaded costs for this (AB) sexual prevention team, with the exception of ICASS

costs (see another submission in this program area) and IT Tax costs, which are captured under the USAID

Agency M&S line.

ACTIVITY DESCRIPTION:

This activity represents the fully-loaded costs of USAID's TB/HIV team, which includes the TB/HIV Advisor,

a TB/HIV Program Officer, and a program assistant. The range of programming in this area is diversifying

in terms of geographic coverage and provision of services throughout all levels of the health care system,

which requires a well-rounded USG technical team. Oversight, supervision, mentoring, and capacity-

building needs are intense, and the entire TB/HIV team contributes to meeting these needs by making

regular supervision visits to the field. In addition, the team works closely with the logistics, laboratory, and

HCT technical teams, as these supports will also be required for the appropriate level of service delivery

and program implementation for the TB/HIV activities. New in COP09 will be the emphasis on the provision

of the Three Is and an increasing focus on MDR TB response.

The TB/HIV team, working with the wider PEPFAR TB/HIV team and with Government of Nigeria and

Implementing Partner counterparts, provides oversight, supervision, capacity-building and technical

assistance and leadership for the TB/HIV interventions and services. The team will also be participating in

some resistance monitoring evaluation/surveillance activities and a PHE. The team's responsibilities

include: 1) representing the USG in technical discussions with the GON, particularly with the National TB

program 2) overseeing technical aspects of the program, including program management and oversight of

partners to ensure high-quality and accountable programs, 3) interfacing with O/GAC Technical working

groups, and 4) interfacing with the USG TB/HIV Technical Working Group headed by CDC.

These three positions are all local Nigerian hires. The budget represents the loaded costs for these

personnel, with the exception of ICASS costs (see another submission in this program area) and IT Tax

costs, which are captured under the USAID Agency M&S line.

Funding for Care: Orphans and Vulnerable Children (HKID): $480,910

ACTIVITY DESCRIPTION: This activity represents the "fully-loaded" costs of USAID's OVC team, which

includes the OVC Advisor, an OVC Program Officer, a Program Officer for Nutrition, one program assistant

and an administrative assistant. One position approved in COP08 (for a second program assistant) was

eliminated due to cost concerns. The dollar amounts to be programmed and the number of partners

providing programming in this area have increased dramatically over the past year and are anticipated to

continue to increase as the APS and other solicitation mechanisms identify additional local faith-based and

community-based partners. Oversight, supervision, mentoring, and capacity-building needs are very

intense for the broad range of partners and activities under this important program area and the entire OVC

team contributes to meeting these needs by making regular supervision visits to the field. In addition, there

is a significant emphasis on multisectoral coordination (education, nutrition, income generation, etc.)

required for quality interventions for the OVC portfolio, which demands a team capable of substantive

coordination with many stakeholders. The new emergence of a pediatric care and treatment program area

will also create new opportunities and responsibilities for the OVC team during COP09.

The OVC team, working with the wider PEPFAR OVC team and with Government of Nigeria and

Implementing Partner counterparts, provides oversight, supervision, capacity-building and technical

assistance and leadership for the OVC interventions and services. The team will also be managing several

new mechanisms and providing oversight to a wider geographic range of service delivery points. The team's

responsibilities include: 1) representing the USG in technical discussions with the GON, 2) overseeing

technical aspects of the program, including program management and oversight of partners to ensure high-

quality, accountable programs, 3) interfacing with O/GAC Technical working groups, and 4) leading the

USG OVC Technical Working Group. As USAID has the technical lead for this program area within the

USG team, this fourth responsibility is key to ensuring a harmonized, consistent and relevant technical

approach across USG Agencies and amongst all partners implementing OVC activities, in line with national

guidelines.

These five positions are all local Nigerian hires. The budget represents the loaded costs for these

personnel, with the exception of ICASS costs (see another submission in this program area) and IT Tax

costs, which are captured under the USAID Agency M&S line.

Funding for Testing: HIV Testing and Counseling (HVCT): $102,306

This activity represents the fully-loaded costs of a full-time expatriate technical advisor for drugs and

commodities logistics, and the fully-loaded costs of three full-time program area technical staff, a program

officer for logistics and program officer for pharmacy and an administrative assistant. These staff are

continuing from COP08, but during COP09, the expatriate advisor will transition out and her position will be

assumed by the FSN pharmacist, so that the full drugs team will be all Nigerian. The demand continues for

this specialty within the USG team, so as to ensure appropriate technical guidance for availability of and

shifts to new drug regimens (first and second line, development of generics, pediatric formulations, etc.),

advising on alternatives in case of pipeline/procurement issues, and to ensure compliance with the Nigerian

drug regulatory authorities. Moreover, as the dollar amounts to be programmed, the range of

pharmaceutical and related commodities required, and the number of partners providing programming in

this area continue to grow, the drugs logistics team have proven to be a key piece for effective coordination

of these efforts.

The commodities logistics team oversees the system strengthening and institutional capacity building

activities related to establishing a harmonized drugs procurement system for Nigeria. Negotiation to both

harmonize systems and maximize accountability in this area is intensive and extensive. The commodities

logistics team's responsibilities include: 1) representing the USG in technical discussions with the GON, 2)

overseeing technical aspects of the program, including program management and oversight of partners to

ensure high-quality and accountable programs, 3) interfacing with O/GAC Technical working groups, and 4)

leading the USG procurement activities. As USAID has the technical lead for this program area within the

USG team, this fourth responsibility is key to ensuring a harmonized, consistent, and relevant technical

approach across USG Agencies and amongst all partners implementing ART programs, as well as

compliance with GON and FDA procurement and import regulations. In addition, the oversight of SCMS

and coordination with other commodity providers, such as the Clinton Foundation and Global Fund, lie

within this portfolio.

All staff in this program area spend 100% of their time advising in this program area and do not have

primary program responsibilities in any other program area. The budget represents the loaded costs for

these personnel, with the exception of ICASS costs (see another submission in this program area) and IT

Table 3.3.17:

Funding for Management and Operations (HVMS): $7,321,220

The USG Nigeria team's M&S goal, through the USAID office in Nigeria, is to have appropriate oversight for

the 37 track two agreements worth $163,246,093 and the three track one support agreements worth

$2,092,426 (this does not include the management of SCMS, which is an additional $60,045,951); to deliver

quality results and responsible and transparent use of USG funds. Given the highly technical nature of ART

services, and the need for broad expansion for community- and home-based care services, the need for on-

site monitoring is substantial. The expansive portfolio, including new and inexperienced indigenous

partners and a national coverage for service provision, places significant management demands on the

team. In addition to the contractual responsibilities for the USAID-managed agreements and contracts, the

USAID team plays a vital technical and strategic role in integrating the Emergency Plan programming

across partners. The interagency technical teams are also involved in the joint oversight and monitoring of

all Implementing Partners, and in coordinating and collaborating with the GON and bilateral and multilateral

donors, including Global Fund and the Clinton Foundation, and with other stakeholders. Additional

leadership is seen in the management and strategic direction of the Country level Compact with the host

country government, which entails interaction and partnership with counterparts at the federal, state and

local levels for broader health systems strengthening and coordination. The technical team members also

play key roles in the development of national guidelines and in advocacy efforts around their areas of

technical expertise. This leadership builds significant national capacity and is increasing the quality and

consistency of HIV services across the country.

To perform this mandate, USAID/Nigeria has planned for a staff of 61 staff to directly and indirectly support

the HIV/AIDS and TB activities in COP09, an increase of 3 technical, specialist and administrative support

positions (see USG Nigeria staff matrix COP09). All of the 60 approved positions under COP08 are filled or

are under recruitment. This modest increase plan has been developed as part of the interagency process,

in order to ensure strategic growth and appropriate managerial coverage in line with agency comparative

advantage. The new core staff will be integrated into the technical working groups in line with the

respective expansions of the subgroups' portfolios to ensure appropriate technical oversight and

administrative support.

The COP09 USAID staffing plan within the core technical team includes two USDH that fill the positions of

HIV Team Leader and Deputy Team Leader. On the wider support team, there are five USDH, including a

Program Officer, a Contracting Officer, the Controller, the General Development Officer and the Executive

Officer (partially funded). In addition, USAID provides supports for two key interagency positions, the

PEPFAR Regional Legal Advisor (a USDH) and the PEPFAR Coordinator (PSC). Of the remaining 52

positions, 29 work within the technical office providing direct HIV/AIDS programs support and 23 are

Mission support positions that reside in the Finance, Contracts, Partnership, and Executive Offices. The

detailed listing is presented in the Staffing Matrix. In the attached supporting documents is a full USG

PEPFAR Nigeria organizational chart that indicates the interagency complementarities of staffing designs.

M&S costs are inclusive of ‘fully loaded' costs for the 32 personnel supported via M&S (the other staff are

covered under their program funding areas), rent for offices and warehouse space, utilities, security, travel

and training for M&S staff, IT taxes for all USAID staff, parking fines, and IT equipment. The funds also

include provisions for required technical assistance efforts or surge capacity needs as well as program

audit/costing assessment support. The M&S budget also provides necessary support required for the

planned relocation of the USAID offices during the FY09 timeframe. General ICASS charges are addressed

under another budget line, split out by program area.

The USAID M&S budget in COP09 supports the USG interagency team process of providing technical

guidance and monitoring of PEPFAR activities across a significant array of implementing partners

throughout Nigeria. The HIV/AIDS office within the USAID/Nigeria Mission is committed to the precepts of

GIPA efforts, and includes GIPA language in all recruitment announcements to encourage models of

positive living within the USG team, an effort enhanced by the within-Mission workplace policies and

activities.

Through an interagency agreement, USAID is the technical working group lead in several program areas,

including: Sexual prevention, Biomedical transmission prevention, Care and Support, OVC, C&T,

Commodities Logistics, and Health Systems Strengthening. USAID also has staff designated for the CDC-

led technical working groups in the areas of TB/HIV, Lab and ART. Technical staff members from all

PEPFAR implementing agencies are viewed as USG team staff and the designation of ‘lead' indicates

primary responsibility for coordination and reporting to the joint USG PEPFAR management team on

programmatic progress and on developments in those technical areas. Policies and resource allocation

decisions are made through weekly interagency PEPFAR management meetings, weekly Investing in

People management meetings with the Front Office of the Embassy, and regularly scheduled meetings with

the Ministry of Health and NACA.

The USAID ICASS budget for FY09 is estimated at $332,076 (for staff covered under M&S funding, see

separate submission) and IRM Tax at $194,931 (for all staff).
