The Peace Corps engages its volunteers and their Ghanaian counterparts in HIV/AIDS training and

administers a small-grants program to support community outreach activities that promote HIV prevention,

increase access to care and treatment and reduce stigma and discrimination. PEPFAR funds in FY08 will

support a new part-time position to coordinate the training and grants programs, including travel and other

administration costs. All Peace Corps volunteers spend less than 50% of their time on PEPFAR-related

activities. Peace Corps is developing important collaboration with USAID and its implementers to shape the

training program and to administer its small grants program. The Assistant-PC Director for Health, Water

and Sanitation is spending about 20% of his time on HIV/AIDS, financed by PC operating expenses.

Cost of doing business: no ICASS of IRM taxes are involved.
