The two requests for proposals (RFP1 & RFP2) from ViiV Healthcare’s Positive Action for Children’s Fund and their focus areas are given below:
“Focus of RFP1
This first Request for Proposals from the Positive Action for Children Fund is focused on the integration of HIV and sexual and reproductive health services leading to improved access to and continuity of services for men and women at risk of HIV or living with HIV.
All projects should have a strong component of community involvement to ensure demand for these services is generated or increased. Project objectives should contribute to the enhancement and integration of services in WHO’s PMTCT elements 1 or 2, or together: primary HIV prevention; and improved sexual health and prevention of unintended pregnancies.
Focus of RFP2
This second Request for Proposals from the Positive Action for Children Fund is focused on the support of infants, children and adolescents living with HIV and their families within their communities, promoting a family-centred approach.
Projects may focus on one area of need for any subset of this age group or cover a number across the age range, including, but not restricted to: early infant diagnosis; nutrition; support around maintenance of and adherence to ARV treatment; sexual and reproductive health education, services and rights; stigma and discrimination.
Projects that are delivered in conjunction with affected communities and seek to develop continuing capacity in those communities and their organisations are encouraged.”
The Fund invites proposals from all regions around the world, but 80% of the grants will be allocated to the Sub-Saharan Africa. The funding has been prioritized to countries identified by UNAIDS with the greatest need for PMTCT services such as Nigeria, Mozambique, Kenya, Uganda, Ethiopia, DRC, Zimbabwe, Cameroon, Malawi, Zambia and India.
The deadline to submit proposals is 7 May 2010. For more information, visit this link.
