DESCRIPTION
Moving forward, PEPFAR/South Africa’s role is shifting away from directly supporting human resources for health and HIV treatment, towards more of a focused technical assistance role. As part of this transition, PEPFAR funding is expected to sharply decline over the next several years. PEPFAR invested significant funding and expertise in supporting local NGOs (referred to as PEPFAR partners). Declining PEPFAR funding may weaken these organizations, and potentially limit the country’s efforts to combat HIV and AIDS in the future with support from these organizations. To complete a sustainable transition, it is critical to understand alternate funding resources for PEPFAR partners, as well as the roles PEPFAR partners are uniquely positioned to fill in achieving an AIDS-Free Generation.
