PRESIDENT’S EMERGENCY PLAN FOR AIDS RELIEF TO HOST FREE NEW PARTNER TRAINING WORKSHOPS IN DENVER AND D.C.

Workshops introduce organizations to new grant program in the fight against global HIV/AIDS; registration is free and available online at http://www.pepfarnpi.gov

Washington, DC (March 29, 2006) – On Tuesday, May 16, 2006 the President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR/ Emergency Plan) will hold the first of a series of Training Workshops at the Adam’s Mark Denver in Denver, CO. The workshops are part of the New Partners Initiative (NPI) which seeks to enlist more organizations in providing HIV/AIDS prevention and care services.

The NPI seeks to match the Emergency Plan’s resources and efforts with the expertise and compassion of organizations already making a difference in the global fight against AIDS in PEPFAR’s fifteen “focus countries.” Those focus nations in Africa, the Caribbean, and Asia represents approximately half of the world's 40 million HIV infections.

The workshops are free, open to the public and will provide information on how organizations can apply for PEPFAR grants to be distributed under the NPI over the next several years. Eligible entities are nongovernmental organizations who are working in any of the fifteen Emergency Plan “focus countries,” with little or no experience working with the U.S. Government (defined as no more than $5 million in U.S. Government funding during the preceding five years, excluding disaster or emergency assistance or funding as a subcontractor).

The 2 three-day Technical Assistance and Capacity Building Workshops will take place in Denver, CO on May 16-18 and in Washington,

DC on May 23-25. The three-day workshops are free and are open to two representatives from any NPI eligible organization. Technical assistance will focus on topics such as: initial needs assessment; proposal writing; pre-award audits; personnel recruitment; competition processes; and monitoring and evaluation planning.

The President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief is a $15 billion, five-year initiative to turn the tide against global HIV/AIDS – the largest global health initiative directed at a single disease that any nation has ever undertaken. The United States is now committing more to the global HIV/AIDS response than all the world’s other donor nations combined. For more information about PEPFAR please visit http://www.pepfar.gov
