At the request of the Swaziland government, the Peace Corps (PC) program is devoted exclusively to

HIV/AIDS prevention, mitigation, care and support. Currently PC has 41 volunteers (PCVs) supporting four

main programs: (1) Girls mentoring program, (2) clergy training, (3) Bucopho training and (4) volunteer

activity support training. The AB Prevention and OVC program area narratives provide the program details

for these activities. This funding shown here covers the cost of PC's HIV/AIDS Technical Trainer, who both

implements and facilitates PEPFAR programming and trains the PCVs in HIV/AIDS technical subjects

during their pre- and in-service training programs. The PC Country Director is a member of the USG

HIV/AIDS Task Force and Steering Committee, and PC collaborates closely with the USAID/RHAP regional

technical advisors and the PACT/Swaziland program in both training and program implementation.
