The United States Agency for International Development (USAID) has requested proposals from U.S.-based and international NGOs/private voluntary organizations and in-country NGOs for Strengthening Integrated Delivery of HIV/AIDS Services in Nigeria.
The program will build upon the successes of the Global HIV/AIDS Initiative Nigeria (GHAIN) project. The new project will be referred to as Strengthening Integrated Delivery of HIV/AIDS Services (SIDHAS) in this and accompanying documents. The SIDHAS program will be implemented nationwide and will take place at all levels of the health system. The project seeks to provide quality HIV/AIDS services and to build the capacity of the public and private sectors in Nigeria to provide these services in a sustainable manner. The successful applicant will be responsible for ensuring smooth transition of services including delivery of quality HIV/AIDS care treatment, and related laboratory services to patients previously enrolled in the GHAIN program. The applicant will also be required to develop and follow cost-efficient strategies for providing sustainable access to anti-retroviral Treatment (ART) and demonstrate increased leveraging of funds with the GON and other sources. A key focus of SIDHAS will be enhancing the stewardship of the Government of Nigeria (GON) at the national, state and local levels.
The closing date to submit applications is 25 March 2011. For more information, visit grants.gov and search by funding opportunity for “USAID-NIGERIA-HIV-11-004-RFA.”
