T
he New Partners Initiative Guide to Managing U.S. Government-Funded HIV/AIDS Programs was developed to fill a gap in available capacity-building resources to help non-governmental organizations (NGOs) effectively manage PEPFAR funds under the New Partners Initiative (NPI).
The Guide is organized according to the lifecycle of an award: Chapter 2 covers the Award Phase; chapters 3-4 discuss the Start-Up Phase; chapters 5-6 address the Implementation Phase and chapters 7-9 guide the reader through the Close-Out Phase. Each chapter provides links to useful tools that can help non-governmental organizations NGOs implement their organization’s work and references to specific documents and Web sites where readers can obtain more detailed information on a particular subject.
The Guide is the fruit of the efforts and experience of numerous USAID and AED staff members who have spent their careers helping NGOs implement effective and compliant U.S. Government-funded (USG) programs.
Funding for this Guide was provided by the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), under the Capable Partners Program (CAP) New Partners Initiative managed by AED. Its contents and views do not necessarily reflect the views of either USAID or the USG.
The online Guide, while wide-ranging and current, will be updated periodically to reflect changes in policy and practice that affect NPI grantees.
