Umbrella Grants Management Program

Name: Umbrella Grants Management Programs
Duration: October 2007-September 2012
Donor: USAID

In October 2007 Pact was awarded a Cooperative Agreement from USAID to manage an Umbrella Grants Managements Program (UGM) in South Africa. The goal of the UGM, the largest program in Pact history, is to support the provision of sustainable high-quality services in HIV and AIDS through strategic approaches that address specific needs with practical and pragmatic business plans for implementation. The UGM will provide support and services to partners and sub-partners located in the following provinces of South Africa:

• Gauteng Province
• Mpumalanga Province
• Free State Province
• North West Province
• KwaZulu Natal Province
• Limpopo Province
• Western Cape Province
• Eastern Cape Province
• Northern Cape Province

Pact will use its grant management system to provide partners with access to funds to scale up HIV and AIDS services while enhancing organizational sustainability through institutional strengthening of indigenous partners and improving the quality of HIV and AIDS partner services by increasing access to technical expertise. Pact provides monitoring, mentoring, and oversight through site visits, technical assistance, reporting and performance evaluations in order to support partner organizations so that they better implement HIV/AIDS programming in South Africa.
