Description: The purpose of this amendment is to provide answer to questions and modify the NOFO as specified herein: On page 1, Cover Page, DELETE &#8220;the applicant(s)&#8221; and replace with &#8220;the applicant&#8221;. On page 3 DELETE &#8220;Expanded entry points, including pediatric ART clinics and PMTCT, may be considered at a later time with USAID concurrence, according to PEPFAR/DR priorities.&#8221; and replace with &#8220;Expanded entry points, including pediatric ART clinics and PMTCT, may be considered if applicants feel it contributes to successful implementation of the award.&#8221; On page 4, SECTION A: PROGRAM DESCRIPTION, 1.4 Geographic Scope, after the first paragraph ADD the following: &#8220;Note: Applicants should propose strong linkages with the activities described under NOFO 72051722RFA00001: USAID Enhanced HIV Services for Epidemic Control. Please note that this OVC Activity will not necessarily support all sites covered under the &#8220;USAID Enhanced HIV Services for Epidemic Control&#8221; activity, so the model provided across PEPFAR-supported sites may vary. In shared geographic areas (i.e., where both OVC and Care and Treatment implement activities), this OVC activity should take the lead role in providing individual/family community services and linkages across supported areas with strong collaboration and coordination with care and treatment partners to optimize efficiencies, effectiveness, and overall quality of care. For instance, if an HIV+ OVC beneficiary on ART needs adherence counseling, that service would be provided at household level by the OVC community worker that serves this household. Any additional adherence support would be provided by the ART clinic supported by the PEPFAR C&amp;T implementing partner. Non-clinical HIV support services provided at community level (e.gNutrition support) to HIV+ OVC beneficiaries on ART should be provided by the OVC Activity.&#8221; On page 25, SECTION C: ELIGIBILITY INFORMATION, DELETE &#8220;Only local organizations as defined below are eligible for award&#8221;.
