Strengthening Local Capacity to Deliver Comprehensive HIV/AIDS Prevention, Care and Treatment Activities in the Republic of Côte d’Ivoire 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 $25,000,000 for Year 1, subject to the availability of funds. This NOFO will build on previous PEPFAR support under the U.S Department of Health and Human Services (HHS)/CDC HIV treatment program in Côte d'Ivoire (CI) to ensure continuity of comprehensive HIV/AIDS services to an existing pool of clients receiving HIV/AIDS care, support, and/or treatment. The program will also continue expanding access to HIV/AIDS services while building the capacity of national structures and contributing to sustainable service delivery within the health sector in CI. Specifically, it will increase capacity and sustainability of the response toward controlling the HIV/AIDS epidemic by initially providing support for HIV service delivery aligning with PEPFAR geographic and programmatic pivots by local indigenous organizations and ultimately providing technical assistance to the national Ministry of Health and Public Hygiene (MSHPCMU) to sustain and expand comprehensive HIV prevention, care, and antiretroviral therapy (ART) programs. The recipients will combine a facility- and community-based strategy to support HIV/AIDS services. By the end of the project period, the recipients should be able to collect and evaluate program data that demonstrates improved quality of HIV prevention, care, and treatment services in CI and to transition activities to MSHPCMU to sustain a basic HIV service package.
