OpportunityTitle: Enhancing the Quality and Reach of Comprehensive and Sustainable HIV/AIDS Prevention Services in the Republic of Zambia under the President&apos;s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR)
Description: The Award Ceiling for Year 1 is 0 (none). CDC anticipates an Approximate Total Fiscal Year Funding amount of $12,000,000 for Year 1, subject to the availability of funds. This NOFO is expected to support the Zambian Ministry of Health (MOH) to achieve and sustain gains made in HIV prevention by supporting direct service delivery (DSD) in four CDC supported provinces for comprehensive, quality, integrated HIV prevention services targeting key populations (KP) and adolescents and young persons (AYP). DSD support includes, but is not limited to, HIV testing services (HTS); linkage of HIV positive KP/AYP to community and facility treatment services, retention and viral load (VL) suppression and other support; linkage of HIV negative KP and AYP to biomedical and non-biomedical HIV prevention services including but not limited to pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP), gender-based violence (GBV) prevention and response, STI screening and treatment, and harm reduction programs. The NOFO is expected to also support HIV prevention programming for AYP including the Determined, Resilient, Empowered, AIDS-free, Mentored and Safe program (DREAMS), HTS, and linkage to prevention services. Lastly, the NOFO is expected to support Health System Strengthening (HSS) for HIV prevention at all levels of the MOH and National AIDS/STI Council (NAC). Support is expected to encompass leadership and governance, health policy, human resources for health (HRH) including capacity building, health information systems, and HIV surveillance at the national level which requires the conducting of regular mapping and size estimations as well as bio-behavioral surveys (BBS).
