This activity was approved in the FY 2006 COP, is funded with FY 2006 PEPFAR funds, and is included here to provide complete information for reviewers. No FY 2006 funding is requested for this activity.

PEPFAR funds were allocated to AB ($600,000) for the DELIVER project of John Snow, Inc. to work collaboratively with the SAG "Khomanani" (Caring Together) information, education and communication (IEC) campaign to ensure the South African Government has a balanced ABC prevention program not only for youth 15 and above and/or sexually active youth, but also for youth aged 14 and younger focusing on abstinence messaging that is appropriate for their age. JSI is bringing the AB messaging closer to the community by translating messages from the national campaign into local languages and into cultural contexts while disseminating the campaign through local language radios, billboards, and pamphlets.
