Description

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. Data use for decision-making is an extremely high priority of the PEPFAR program. Incomplete and delayed program and survey data have created significant challenges in understanding the epidemiology and HIV program coverage in Botswana. Botswana has a complex health information system (HIS) with multiple electronic medical record (EMR) systems and incomplete electronic data capture. In the absence of complete and quality data, monitoring and evaluation (M&E) activities and data use are limited. The recipient(s) will provide support to the government of Botswana to ensure comprehensive, quality HIV-related strategic information programs are functioning at the site, district, and national level through the following activities: Support infrastructure and inter-operability of current health data systems; Provide support to Ministry of Health and Wellness (MOHW) to strengthen M&E activities at the national, district, site, program, and laboratory levels; Support the development and use of HIV surveillance systems and surveys; Ensure high-quality data are available in all health data systems; and Support the utilization of data at the site, district, and national level through development of data dashboards and other tools.
