Under the leadership of the Ambassador, the U.S. Embassy (Department of State) will continue to serve as

the coordinating body of PEPFAR. In FY 2009, the PEPFAR Coordination Office will be comprised of six

full-time staff that will manage the State PEPFAR programs and coordinate the overall USG effort: 1)

PEPFAR Coordinator; 2) State Project Manager (LES); 3) Ambassador's Small Grants Coordinator (EFM);

4) Finance and Operations Officer (EFM); 5) Development Outreach Communications Officer (LES); and 6)

an Administrative Assistant (LES). The description of the PEPFAR Coordinator is included in HVMS #NEW

(HHS/OGHA), and the Small Grants Coordinator is included in the Small Grants activity narrative under

Orphans and Vulnerable Children, (#3725).

The PEPFAR State Project Manager position was created in FY 2006 to manage all PEPFAR programs

administered by State, which amounts to approximately $1M annually. This position also serves as the

monitoring and evaluation (M&E) officer for State programs and provides M&E support and training to USG

PEPFAR partners and USG staff. The PEPFAR State Project Manager makes strategic recommendations

to the Embassy PEPFAR Coordinator regarding State budget allocations and ensures that the State

program continues to support the U.S. Office of the Global AIDS Coordinator (OGAC) PEPFAR five-year

global and country-level strategies.

The Small Grants Coordinator will be supported 100% through PEPFAR funds in 2009. The description of

this position is included in the Small Grants activity narrative, activity ID 3725.

The PEPFAR Finance and Operations Officer is a new position which was added in FY 2009. This is a full-

time EFM position responsible for overseeing the State budget expenditures and planning and will assist

with overall PEPFAR Coordination Office management, including monitoring USG country budget

allocations. This position will serve as the point of contact for all USG reprogramming.

The PEPFAR Development Outreach Communications Officer (DOCO) works with the Public Affairs

Section on the implementation of PEPFAR programs and public affairs related to PEPFAR activities. This

position also works with the Mission to achieve PEPFAR goals by producing and disseminating information

about PEPFAR's activities to the host country government, host country press and media, and through them

to the public. The DOCO also compiles success stories for the Mission.

The PEPFAR Administrative Assistant serves as the office manager, protocol assistant, meeting organizer,

and senior logistician for official visits. This position liaises with the GRZ, donor community, partners, and

provides overall administrative support to the USG PEPFAR team and the Front Office.

Post plans to continue funding all six positions 100% through the Emergency Plan. Management funds

include salary, contract costs, travel (training, meetings, and conferences), and local travel (USG strategic

planning meetings, partners meetings, workshops, and site visits). As the USG/Zambia actively supports

the continuous consultative process with the GRZ, ZDF, and donor community, these funds support local

meeting logistics to facilitate this process. The State Management and Staffing budget also includes

funding to support public affairs and diplomacy activities conducted by the Public Affairs Section and the

Ambassador's Office.

ICASS has been described in a separate activity narrative.
