USAID/Eswatini implements a comprehensive portfolio of activities under the U.S. President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR). PEPFAR/Eswatini supports the Government of the Kingdom of Eswatini in its response to the HIV epidemic, specifically to scale up strategic testing and case identification, treatment, adherence and retention interventions, and to prevent HIV transmission and acquisition. Eswatini is on track to achieve ‘95-95-95’ across all age and sex bands and risk populations by September 2020. USAID supports the development of a robust sustainability plan to ensure the country maintains the gains that have been achieved. In FY20, USAID/Eswatini manages a portfolio of almost $ 40 million through nine implementers/mechanisms. USAID/Eswatini supports public health facilities in two regions, Hhohho and Shiselweni, with technical assistance and mentoring for care and treatment and biomedical prevention, including Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) and Voluntary Male Circumcision (VMMC). USAID funded partners also provide comprehensive clinical and prevention services at the community level across the country, including leading the PEPFAR DREAMS prevention program for adolescent girls and young women, and USG investments to mitigate the impact of HIV on Orphans and Vulnerable Children. USAID/Eswatini strengthens government systems for commodity management and supply chain and supports the Ministry of Health with its electronic medical record system. USAID/Eswatini also works with traditional and community leaders to anchor community ownership of the HIV response.
