On February 1, during a ceremony
held at the US Embassy in Nassau, US Chargé d’Affaires John Dinkelman announced
the five recipients for the 2012 President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief
(PEPFAR) Small Grants Program. The program is a part of the Caribbean Regional
Partnership Framework against HIV/AIDS, and concentrates on prevention
activities to end HIV/AIDS across communities in the Bahamas.
Since 2009, the US Embassy has
provided more than $104,000 in PEPFAR funding to support HIV/AIDS-related
community-based projects on New Providence, Grand Bahama, and the Family
Islands. The five groups selected for 2012 grants received a total of more than
$18,000 to assist with their initiatives to combat HIV/AIDS.
The US Embassy in Nassau will
announce a new call for PEPFAR HIV/AIDS Small Grants proposals during the
summer of 2013. For more information on PEPFAR activities in the Bahamas, visit
