Deadline: 29 February 2016
The United States Agency for International Development (USAID) is seeking applications for a cooperative agreement from all U.S. and non-U.S. qualified organizations (other than those from foreign policy restricted countries) for funding to support a program entitled Integrated HIV Prevention and Health Services for Key and Priority Populations (HIS-KP) in the Republic of Mozambique.
This program seeks to Improve Health and HIV Outcomes among Key and Priority Populations. The emphasis of this program is to make quality services available by means that can be scaled, including through improved referrals and linkages across the continuum of both community and clinic-based services. To ensure that this is a sustainable goal the program proposes an integrated community mobilization and structural interventions approach.
Expected Outcomes
The program goal will be achieved through the following results:
- Access to integrated and comprehensive HIV interventions and health services for key and priority populations is increased.
- Enabling environment that decreases social and structural barriers in accessing HIV and related services for key and priority populations is promoted.
- Mapping, monitoring and tracking systems of services offered to key populations across the continuum of care is strengthened
