Detailed Mechanism Funding and Narrative

Years of mechanism: 2007 2008 2009

Details for Mechanism ID: 4897
Country/Region: Rwanda
Year: 2009
Main Partner: U.S. Peace Corps
Main Partner Program: NA
Organizational Type: Own Agency
Funding Agency: enumerations.Peace Corps
Total Funding: $2,500,000

Funding for Sexual Prevention: Abstinence/Be Faithful (HVAB): $1,250,000

ACTIVITY HAS BEEN MODIFIED IN THE FOLLOWING WAYS:

In FY 2008, Peace Corps reopened its program in Rwanda. Thirty-five Volunteers (20 of whom are

PEPFAR funded) are scheduled to arrive in Rwanda in January 2009 to work at the sector and district levels

focusing on health and community development. Specifically, they will help build the capacity of rural

communities to develop comprehensive HIV/AIDS prevention strategies.

In its initial year, Peace Corps/Rwanda's (PC/R) PEPFAR program will concentrate on strategic assignment

of Volunteers within PEPFAR priority districts and sectors to facilitate linkages between providers of

HIV/AIDS prevention, care, treatment, and other wraparound services. Volunteers may be placed with other

PEPFAR-funded organizations and institutions to help build their capacity to integrate HIV prevention into

broader community development initiatives.

Volunteers will collaborate with the CNLS, PSI, CHAMP, and other PEPFAR-funded partners to strengthen

AB prevention efforts at the community, sector and district levels; building the institutional capacity of

C/FBOs and associations in strategic planning, monitoring and evaluation, and project development;

development and strengthening of community-based activities focused on partner reduction; reducing trans-

generational sex and informal transactional sex; increasing girls/women's empowerment, male involvement

and male norms; strengthening youth friendly health centers; helping to establish discordant couples'

groups and activities focused on prevention for positives; and promotion of testing and counseling.

In FY 2009, funds in the HVAB program area will support costs associated with 27-month of service of 20

new health and community development Volunteers. In addition, funds will cover HIV/AIDS training for

Peace Corps-funded Volunteers, materials development, personnel services contracts for host country

national staff, and office expenses. These costs will be split proportionally between the HVAB and HVOP

program areas.

Because Peace Corps volunteers will undertake pre-existing HIV/AIDS and community health activities, and

since they're will be attached to partners, their efforts will contribute to partner's targets. Therefore no

targets will be set separately for Volunteers work to avoid double counting.

ACTIVITY UNCHANGED FROM FY 2008

In FY 2008, Peace Corps reopened its program in Rwanda. Thirty-five Volunteers (20 of whom are

PEPFAR funded) are scheduled to arrive in Rwanda in January 2009 to work at the sector and district levels

focusing on health and community development. Specifically, they will help build the capacity of rural

HIV/AIDS prevention, care, treatment, and other wraparound services. Volunteers may be placed with other

PEPFAR-funded organizations and institutions to help build their capacity to integrate HIV prevention into

broader community development initiatives.

Volunteers will collaborate with the CNLS and PEPFAR-funded partners to strengthen AB prevention efforts

at the community, sector and district levels; building the institutional capacity of C/FBOs and associations in

strategic planning, monitoring and evaluation, and project development; development and strengthening of

community-based activities focused on partner reduction; reducing trans-generational sex and informal

transactional sex; increasing girls/women's empowerment, male involvement and male norms;

strengthening youth friendly health centers; helping to establish discordant couples' groups and activities

focused on prevention for positives; and promotion of testing and counseling.

In FY 2009, funds in the HVAB program area will support costs associated with 27-month of service of 20

new health and community development Volunteers. In addition, funds will cover HIV/AIDS training for

Peace Corps-funded Volunteers, materials development, personnel services contracts for host country

national staff, and office expenses. These costs will be split proportionally between the HVAB and HVOP

program areas.

Finally, since Peace Corps volunteers will undertake pre-existing HIV/AIDS and community health activities,

and since they're will be attached to partners, their efforts will contribute to partner's targets. Therefore no

targets will be set separately for Volunteers work to avoid double counting.
