Funding Agency: HHS/CDC
Total Funding: $0

Funds reserved in this TBD mechanism will be used to respond to the needs of the South African

Government (SAG). This year represents a very important transition year for the PEPFAR program in

South Africa, which will work closely with the SAG towards the long-term goal of SAG ownership of

PEPFAR-supported programs and define a joint strategy for a rational and progressive transition that will

slowly devolve service delivery to the SAG public health system and increase United States Government

(USG) efforts to enable long-term sustainability. To this end, the USG and the SAG are working together

on a major PEPFAR program rationalization effort in order to enhance sustainability and increase

efficiency of PEPFAR activities. Following an analysis of a recently completed national inventory of

PEPFAR-supported partners and their activities throughout service delivery (including training, staffing

support, capital expenses, and policy development), meetings will be held with each of the nine provincial

governments, as well as with national leadership, to identify gaps and duplication of services, and

respond to SAG priorities. The inventory will also increase the availability of partner data, which will be

used for better programmatic decision-making. This process will allow for the realignment of partners,

and will focus partner resources towards specific nodes in need of intensified support. Where applicable,

specific focus will be given to the SAG 18 priority districts. The program rationalization will be done in

collaboration with the national and provincial SAG departments and will feed into the Partnership

Framework implementation plan. Since the process is ongoing, it is anticipated that there will be

significant reprogramming via this TBD mechanism in the coming year.
