The US Embassy in Rwanda has overall responsibility for a broad range of activities, including coordination of DOD, HHS/CDC, and USAID EP activities. This activity includes miscellaneous equipment and services to support EP management particularly relating to public outreach and information management.

The US Embassy in Rwanda has decided to not fill the previously proposed PEPFAR coordinator position, principally because no added value is envisioned from the addition of an administrative layer when agencies on the ground are already functioning so effectively as an integrated team. Therefore, this position has been eliminated from the Staffing Matrix.
