Engaging faith-based organizations to sustain lifesaving HIV and TB services in Ethiopia

The Award Ceiling for Year 1 is 0 (none). CDC anticipates an Approximate Total Fiscal Year Funding amount of $5,000,000 for Year 1, subject to the availability of funds. This NOFO will engage faith-based organizations (FBOs) to support and sustain lifesaving HIV, TB, and cervical cancer services in Ethiopia. HIV services will include: • HIV testing. • HIV prevention, including vertical transmission. • Adult and pediatric HIV care and treatment. Through this project, you will work with faith communities to provide and link people with lifesaving HIV services. You will serve: • People at high risk of acquiring HIV. • Undiagnosed people living with HIV • People living with HIV at risk of interrupting their treatment. • Pregnant and breastfeeding women. • People living with HIV who may face barriers to accessing conventional health facility services. You will be expected to implement cost-efficient models and integrate them with the routine health-care delivery system to reach undiagnosed people living with HIV, people living with HIV who have defaulted from care, and people at high risk of acquiring HIV, ensuring their access to critical, lifesaving HIV and TB services. This NOFO will support activities that promote country ownership and country-led plans that enable greater sustainability. Programs supporting other public health threats and emergencies in Ethiopia may also be included in this NOFO.
