USAID supports the DOE's HIV programs to address some of the key priorities as outlined in the Strategic Plan 2009 - 2013 and Operational Plans for 2009 - 2010. In health and education, USAID specifically supports the DOE at the national, targeted provincial and district levels to effectively implement life skills and peer education programs to fight the AIDS pandemic.
