This grant is for the purpose of providing critical technical assistance to the Government of Botswana (GOB) for developing and implementing strategic, multi-faceted national HIV prevention campaigns. These campaigns will employ advocacy, media, interpersonal communication, and social mobilization to systematically address the underlying drivers of HIV risk and vulnerability, as defined by NSFII. The awardee will create at least one campaign focused on a biomedical intervention and another on behavioral drivers, potentially covering HIV testing, alcohol abuse reduction, and gender-based violence awareness. The recipient will also guide the improvement and evaluation of the ongoing multiple concurrent partnerships campaign. Collaborative work with GOB will involve theme identification, assessments, and measuring key behavioral outcomes. The ultimate goal is a measurable increase in HIV knowledge and individual risk perception, reduction of harmful societal norms, and a decrease in high-risk sexual behaviors.
