AdditionalInformationOnEligibility: synopsis date update
Description: The Award Ceiling for Year 1 is 0 (none). CDC anticipates an Approximate Total Fiscal Year Funding amount of $17,000,000 for Year 1, subject to the availability of funds.This NOFO will support implementation, acceleration, and sustainability of comprehensive HIV prevention, care, and treatment programs for HIV/AIDS epidemic control in the Western and West Nile regions of Uganda. The recipient(s) will implement efficient and high-yielding strategies to enhance case identification, linkage, enrollment, retention, and ultimately, viral load suppression (VLS) targeting the most underserved age and sex bands, while preventing HIV transmission among the most vulnerable populations. The NOFO will focus on TB control and treatment; elimination of Mother-to-Child Transmission (eMTCT); Voluntary Medical Male Circumcision (VMMC); select services for orphans and vulnerable children (OVC); and supportive laboratory and strategic information (SI) services through a health systems strengthening approach. The recipient(s) will work closely with the Ministry of Health (MOH) to strengthen the capacity of Regional Referral Hospitals (RRHs), District Health Teams (DHTs), and health care providers for a sustainable decentralized HIV response. Coordination with and leveraging of activities supported by other key stakeholders will be critical components of a sustained and multisectoral approach. Expected outcomes include improved access, coverage, and quality of HIV services to ensure 95% of people living with HIV (PLHIV) know their status; 95% of people diagnosed with HIV receive antiretroviral therapy (ART); and 95% of those on treatment are virally suppressed.
