SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
<bullet> FIOTEC, Brazil: The single-source award will provide
opportunities to support the HIV response consistent with PEPFAR
requirements and other public health initiatives that technically
support enhancement of public health capacity. FIOTEC is in a unique

level referral center for HIV clinical services in the national HIV
program, providing clinical oversight and care for complicated patients
throughout Malawi.
<bullet> GAC, West Africa Region (Ghana): The single-source award
will support GAC which is the mandated government agency providing
leadership and coordination of HIV programs in Ghana through the UNAIDS
three ones principle: one agreed HIV/AIDS action framework that
provides the basis for coordinating the work of all partners, one
national AIDS coordinating authority with a broad-based multi-sector
mandate, and one agreed country level monitoring and evaluation system.
GAC holds legal responsibility for formulating policies and
designing strategies to respond to Ghana's HIV and AIDS epidemic, to
provide for the management of the fund, to prevent and control the HIV
and AIDS epidemic, and to promote and protect the rights of People
