USAID Controlling HIV/AIDS Epidemic among Key and Vulnerable Populations (CHEK) through Local Partnership

The United States Agency for International Development in Democratic Republic of Congo (USAID/DRC) is seeking applications for a Fixed Amount Award (FAA) Cooperative Agreement from qualified entities to implement the USAID Combating HIV/AIDS Through Local Partnership Activity (CHALPA) Activity in Lualaba. Eligibility for this award is restricted to local entities as defined in ADS 303.6. USAID DRC intends to fund the implementation of Controlling HIV/AIDS Epidemic among Key and Vulnerable Populations (CHEK) in PEPFAR/DRC supported provinces. This activity intends to work with the Government of the DRC (GDRC) and other USAID implementing partners to deliver high quality, accessible HIV services in selected health zones in order to achieve HIV epidemic control. This activity will join the portfolio of partners implementing the President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) program in the DRC. USAID/DRC’s vision for the CHEK is a phased three-year activity that will focus on service delivery to support existing implementers in PEPFAR supported provinces with progressive expansion over the life of the activity. In year 1, the activity will start in Lualaba and will then expand to Haut-Katanga according to the needs. This service delivery activity will include all aspects of the HIV epidemic control of key and vulnerable populations (female sex workers [FSW] and their clients and their kids, men who have sex with men [MSM], transgender, people who inject drugs and people in prison). More details are available from full Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) as posted with this synopsis.
