Comprehensive Provision of Integrated, High-Quality Community- and Facility-Based HIV and Tuberculosis (TB) Services in Namibia under the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR)

The Award Ceiling for Year 1 is 0 (none). CDC anticipates an Approximate Total Fiscal Year Funding amount of $34,500,000 for Year 1, subject to the availability of funds. The overall objective of the NOFO is to support the acceleration and maintenance of sustainable, high-quality, comprehensive HIV and TB services to achieve and sustain the 95-95-95 targets and epidemic control in Namibia. It will support the implementation of programs in selected geographic areas in facility and/or community settings. The comprehensive package of services will include targeted HIV case-finding with immediate linkage to appropriate services; adult and pediatric prevention and treatment; TB prevention, diagnosis, and treatment; elimination of mother-to-child transmission (EMTCT); cervical cancer prevention, screening, and treatment; surveillance of HIV, TB, and related health conditions; improved quality, access, and use of health information systems; and strategic information (SI). The NOFO will fund one or more recipient(s) that will provide technical assistance and capacity building to the Ministry of Health and Social Services (MHSS) at the facility and/or community levels in one or more assigned geographic areas of Namibia. Expected outcomes will include a sustainable, integrated, and efficient health system; increased responsiveness to remaining and emerging gaps in HIV and TB prevention, care, and treatment; reduced HIV- and TB-related morbidity and mortality; reduced HIV and TB incidence; supporting efforts toward the EMTCT of HIV; and overall improved health outcomes.
