The United States Agency for International Development in Southern Africa (USAID/SA), through the Regional Office of Acquisition and Assistance (ROAA) is seeking applications for a Cooperative Agreement for funding of an activity entitled “Achieving and Sustaining HIV/TB Epidemic Control in the Free State Province.

Funding Information

• USAID intends to award one (1) Cooperative Agreement pursuant to this NOFO. Subject to funding availability and at the discretion of the Agency, USAID intends to provide up to $54 million in total USAID funding over a 5-year period.

Activity Goal, Objectives and Intended Result

• Goal
  • The goal of the Activity is to promote long, healthy lives for the population of the Free State Province by achieving and sustaining HIV/TB epidemic control
• Objectives & Results
• Objective 1: Close the gaps to achieve HIV/TB epidemic control
  • Complex barriers to access quality health care, client psychosocial barriers, and treatment hesitancy lead to failed treatment initiations and treatment interruptions. This is especially challenging in the Free State Province where the population is severely impacted by poverty, unemployment, migration and other social issues. The Activity will support innovative integrated, simplified, client-centered HIV/TB prevention and treatment models that facilitate lifelong healthy outcomes for all PLHIV and prevent onward HIV and TB infections.
  • IR 1.1 Improved pediatric, children, adolescents, and youth HIV treatment outcomes through tailored approaches
    • Expected Outcomes
      • 95% of children and adolescents know their HIV status.
      • 95% of children and adolescents who know their HIV status are receiving ART.
  • IR 1.2 Improved adult clinical outcomes for HIV through sustainable and locally-led social support services and client-centered approaches
    • Expected Outcome
      • 95% of adult PLHIV know their HIV status.
      • 95% of PLHIV who know their HIV status are receiving ART.
  • IR 1.3 Reduced HIV/TB coinfection for pediatric and adults through enhanced and targeted programming for improved treatment outcomes
    • Expected Outcomes:
      • 90% of TB cases are diagnosed.
      • 100% of people with TB infection receive treatment.
  • IR 1.4 Strengthened and targeted integration of HIV prevention interventions, particularly for priority populations such as AGYW, adolescent boys and young men (ABYM), and key and vulnerable populations at risk
    • Expected Outcomes:
      • 100% of supported sites provide friendly services for key and priority populations.
      • 100% of supported sites link at-risk adolescents and youth to prevention services.
  • IR 1.5: Improved awareness and engagement in HIV/TB care, treatment, and prevention programs through strategic marketing and communications
    • Expected Outcomes:
      • Improved and sustainable client literacy, awareness and uptake of HIV care, treatment, and prevention services.
      • Locally-designed and sustainable strategic health communications and marketing campaigns, particularly for key and vulnerable populations developed and implemented.
• Objective 2: Sustain health gains through strengthened, improved and resilient health systems
  • As South Africa progresses toward the elimination of HIV and TB as public health threats, the management of HIV, as a chronic condition, and TB, as a curable infectious disease, will require a health system that is resilient, well-financed and managed, and efficiently resourced (e.g., human resources, equipment, commodities). Access to care must be equitable and affordable, and the necessary systems for planning for such access must be functional.
  • In alignment with Free State DoH priorities, Objective 2 aims to support the elimination of HIV and TB as public health threats and control of other infectious diseases by strengthening the public health system to maintain and sustain this status over time and be resilient in the face of system-wide shocks, such as pandemics, natural disasters and social unrest.
    • IR 2.1 Adequate, skilled and motivated HRH in all targeted health facilities to maintain and sustain the delivery of healthcare services to PLHIV
      • Expected Outcomes:
        • 100% of supported districts have functional and capacitated staffing within approved organizational structures.
        • Coordinated and sustained provincial health response in support of the HIV/TB interventions, to strengthen the leadership, management structures and policy implementation
    • IR 2.2 Essential medicine and commodities, equipment, instruments and devices needed to deliver quality HIV/TB health and other infectious disease services are available at targeted health care facilities

Unitaid Call for Proposals to eliminate Vertical Transmission and improve Maternal & Newborn Health

Deadline: 12-Mar-24

Unitaid is pleased to announce this call for proposals aimed at catalyzing uptake of country-led and context-specific intervention packages to eliminate vertical transmission and improve maternal and newborn health.

Vertical (mother-to-child) transmission of HIV, syphilis, and hepatitis B virus (HBV) contributes to significant morbidity and mortality in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) and is targeted for elimination through an integrated approach. This vision for “Triple Elimination” is grounded in evidence demonstrating that linking interventions for HIV with services for other sexually transmitted infections, including syphilis and HBV, improves uptake and optimizes the use of limited resources. The three diseases also share many features, including their epidemiology, routes of transmission, and the core interventions for addressing them. In regions where Chagas is endemic, Triple Elimination is expanded to include congenital Chagas (‘EMTCT Plus’).

The main objectives of this Call for Proposals are the following:

• To support countries to design and deploy integrated elimination programming and generate evidence on effective and scalable implementation models in diverse settings.
• To overcome market barriers that limit access to critical commodities, including availability and affordability challenges impacting diagnostic and treatment products.
• To build demand for integrated elimination programs through people-centered and locally tailored roll-out approaches, including strong, funded community engagement, advocacy and literacy activities.

Criteria

• Unitaid considers working with communities a critical part of generating demand and strongly encourages adopting inclusive approaches, and the early and continued meaningful engagement of communities towards improving the lives and health of the most vulnerable people.
• Unitaid sees value in proposals from South-based lead implementers with experience in leading the implementation of large-scale multi-country projects that support access to health products in LMICs. They also support the meaningful inclusion of South-based sub-implementers, where feasible and relevant, in proposed project implementation consortia.
  • Unitaid is committed to climate and environmental action in its investments and expects its partners to make similar commitments. Proposals should clearly indicate:
    • Efforts that will be made to minimize carbon emissions from project activities;
• Potential opportunities to contribute to broader climate and/or environmental co-benefits, in synergy with core project objectives.
• Proposals should demonstrate value for money and measurable impact. Proposals should also include analysis of pathways to impact, scalability, and sustainability of key interventions.
• Areas out of scope for this Call include: product development, single-country interventions.

For more information, visit Unitaid.
