- Description
- The PEPFAR Country Coordinator is the primary point of contact and coordinator of activities related to the U.S. President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) in the country. The PEPFAR Coordinator plays a critical role in the planning, implementation, and reporting of program performance of inter-agency programs. The role of the coordinator is becoming more essential as the size and complexity of the program grows. The Ambassador heads the in-country PEPFAR program and is the final decision-maker under PEPFAR Guidance to all program plans and activities that are submitted to the U.S. Global AIDS Coordinator for approval. The Coordinator is a facilitator, a communicator, and at times, a negotiator. The Coordinator is, in general, not a technical director, although the Coordinator may be expected on occasion to ensure follow-up on implementation of technical recommendations based on the Country Operational Plan (COP) and other performance review information. When delegated this authority by the Ambassador, the Coordinator may represent PEPFAR with external partners including government, press, and others. Agency leads may also be expected to play a role in public diplomacy based on authority delegated by the Ambassador. Country teams should establish a management interagency working group comprising Agency leads (who may be heads of agencies or of technical offices depending on Agency preference). The relationship between the management working group, the Coordinator, and the Ambassador/DCM will vary according to country needs. While there may be some exceptions based on the determination of the Ambassador, the norm is that the Coordinator will be accountable to ensure this group is established, has an agenda, and is achieving objectives The Coordinator is the lead for the COP, Semi-Annual Program Results (SAPR), and Annual Program Results (APR) development. The Coordinator is responsible for ensuring that reports are submitted to Washington in time, for organizing the logistical arrangements for inter-Agency work, and for keeping Agencies on task for inter-Agency efforts.
