This activity was approved in the FY 2006 COP, is funded with FY 2006 PEPFAR funds, and is included here to provide complete information for reviewers. No FY 2007 funding is requested for this activity.

PEPFAR funds allocated to OVC ($1,200,000) are for the Nelson Mandela Children's Fund (NMCF) to provide sub-grants and grant management support to its sub-partners. The aim of the NMCF program is to strengthen local organizations to support orphans and vulnerable children (OVC) and to strengthen the coping mechanisms of households and communities in supporting OVC. NMCF through its sub-partners will continue to implement the activities specified in the FY 2006 COP, which include assistance to facilitate OVC to access health, nutrition, education, social services (i.e. social grants etc.) psychosocial counseling and support. The OVC activities of NMCF and its sub- partners will be completed according to schedule in 2007 and the USG PEPFAR Task Force has decided to continue supporting three NMCF sub-partners directly, but not to continue support to NMCF. Therefore there is no need to continue funding this activity with FY 2007 COP funds.
