Management and staffing costs for the additional Department of State staff: The Public Diplomacy Officer

(Public Diplomacy section) and the Economic Counselor (Economic section) are Strategic Planning group

members and participate actively on HIV/AIDS issues. The Public Diplomacy (PD) activities develop mass

media campaigns for HIV prevention, but also seek to coordinate across agencies to ensure exposure to

key audiences for PEPFAR achievements. the PD program also seeks to coordinate effort that maximizes

the development of partnerships with minimal duplication. Mission implementing agencies (USAID, CDC,

and DOD) provide the technical expertise to manage programs, but final decisions are made by consensus

of the HIV/AIDS task force members. The Chief of Mission, through the DCM, would make a final call if the

best efforts of the task force did not result in a consensus position. This arrangement is subject to change

to align with the incoming Ambassador's vision for HIV/AIDS collaboration in DRC.
