OpportunityTitle: EVIHT
Description: The U.S. Government (USG) Post-Earthquake Strategy in Haiti follows the Government of Haiti&#146;s Action Plan For National Recovery and Development of Haiti, complements the international community&#146;s efforts in Haiti, and targets sectors in which we can add the most value. Through USAID and our other USG partners, the USG is supporting four essential pillars of Haiti&#146;s development, one of which is health and other basic services. The U.S. President&#146;s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) Five-Year Strategy focuses on improving health outcomes, increasing program sustainability and integration, and strengthening health systems. Prevention activities focus on support for country-owned programs that provide a continuum of linked prevention, care, and treatment services.To support this effort the U.S. Agency for International Development is requesting applications from qualified organizations to implement the EVIHT Project &#147;Avoid HIV and its Transmission&#148;. One Cooperative Agreement may be awarded. At the end of this agreement, the United States Agency for International Development (USAID)/Haiti expects the implementer to achieve the following results.1) Increase HIV risk perception and self-efficacy to prevent HIV transmission among at-risk individuals in the general population;2) Strengthen capacity of the Direction de la Promotion de la Sant&#233; et de la Protection de l&#146;Environnement/Minist&#232;re de la Sant&#233; (DPSPE/MOH) and the National AIDS Communication Program (NACP) to lead the HIV response and to harmonize the integration of HIV prevention activities within the basic package of primary health care;3) Enhance specific prevention activities that have been identified as gap areas. The specific gap areas include: secondary prevention through Positive, Health, Dignity, and Prevention (PHDP) services; quality in and demand for prevention of mother-to-child transmission (PMTCT) services; and lack of the post-exposure prophylaxis program in Haiti.
