Total Funding: $200,000

Proposals are solicited to develop, implement, monitor and evaluate a sustainable, effective HIV/AIDS prevention program for the Estonia Ministry of Defense (MOD). The Department of Defense HIV/AIDS Prevention Program (DHAPP) has worked collaboratively with the Estonian MOD in a variety of HIV/AIDS prevention programs since 2005. In the past 3 years, those efforts have included policy development, seroprevalence studies, training of medical personnel and the development and implementation of HIV training/education of enlisted troops. To improve the effectiveness of the program, there is a need to assess effectiveness and modify training material. A strategy essential for sustaining the prevention program is to train and utilize a cadre of peer trainers. The TBD partner will work closely with DHAPP staff, Estonian MOD, and the Office of Defense Cooperation, United States Embassy, Tallinn to implement the following activities:
