The Governments of Lesotho and Swaziland (including the National AIDS Commissions and the Ministries of Health and Social Welfare (MOHSW)), requested Emergency Plan support to review systems and structures for managing Global Fund grants and MOHSW mechanisms for coordinating and managing HIV/AIDS programs. PEPFAR, through the USAID Regional HIV/AIDS Program (RHAP), engaged an external organizational development consultant, supported by USG staff. The team visited the countries in August and September 2005 and submitted a report articulating numerous technical assistance opportunities. The team then returned in November to collaborate with the two governments on identifying priorities from among the proposed issues and has developed detailed scopes of work to help address them. |
