Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) / Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR) are seeking applications for a program entitled “Strengthening Technical and Management Capacity of the Provincial Health Directorate of Gaza to Increase and Sustain Quality HIV/AIDS Prevention, Care, and Treatment Services in Gaza Province (Mozambique) under PEPFAR”.
This NOFO will focus on strengthening institutional capacity of Provincial Health Directorate of Gaza (DPS Gaza) in areas of HIV program development and planning, program implementation and oversight for HIV prevention, care, and treatment services funded through PEPFAR to support the national HIV response plan. In order to strengthen institutional technical and management capacity of the DPS office to expand and sustain quality HIV related services, this NOFO will prioritize expansion of quality improvement strategies that address supportive supervision, training, mentoring, and surveillance. Due to the magnitude of the epidemic and the limitations of the country’s health infrastructure, Mozambique is considered a ‘long term’ strategy country under PEPFAR. Currently, a significant portion of HIV service provision is supported through international and some local Non-Governmental Organizations (NGO). This NOFO aims to promote stronger collaboration between the local health authorities and implementing partners to improve the quality of HIV service delivery models, amplify program outcomes, while strengthening the institutional capacity of the DPS.
