OpportunityTitle: Strengthening the Government of Uganda&apos;s Capacity for Regionally Centered and District Implemented HIV and TB Programming through Health Information Systems, Case Based Surveillance, Monitoring, Evaluation and Quality Improvement Support under PEPFAR
Description: The Award Ceiling for Year 1 is 0 (none). CDC anticipates an Approximate Total Fiscal Year Funding amount of $10,000,000 for Year 1, subject to the availability of funds.As Uganda moves towards HIV and TB epidemic control, data quality, precision, and use will be a top priority. This NOFO will build affordable Health Information Systems (HIS) and a capable workforce through national and regional support for district led programming using a technical assistance model. These HIS and data use activities will ensure quality clinical services are linked to laboratory, case reporting for epidemic control of HIV and TB, and routine data use for monitoring priority programs, evaluating public health impact, and Continuous Quality Improvement (CQI) for health services. Sustainability of these systems requires supporting the Government of Uganda (GoU) to own and maintain a national network of systems and supporting workforce. Recipient(s) of this NOFO will partner with GoU to plan and implement these activities through HIS development and implementation within a national HIS enterprise architecture (EA). Monitoring and Evaluation (M&amp;E) and quality improvement (QI) through routine reporting and dashboards monitoring priority activities will continue and transition into more robust systems of data use for supporting epidemic control and evolving health systems priorities. Initially focused on HIV and TB epidemic control, these systems will be built in partnership with the GoU with a vision to support the capture and use of quality data for priority infectious and non-communicable disease epidemic intelligence and control.
