Description

The Award Ceiling for Year 1 is 0 (none). CDC anticipates an Approximate Total Fiscal Year Funding amount of $10,000,000 for Year 1, subject to the availability of funds. This NOFO aims to support Zimbabwe’s Ministry of Health and Child Care (MoHCC) to achieve HIV epidemic control with the provision of sustainable and evidence-based biomedical HIV prevention through voluntary medical male circumcision (VMMC) for males aged 15 to 49 years and linking men living with HIV to care and treatment services. The supported HIV prevention package includes HIV testing and counseling, condom promotion, behavior change communication, VMMC, and linkage to care. Specifically, this NOFO is expected to strive to saturate and maintain VMMC of more than 80% in selected PEPFAR-supported districts to achieve expected population-level HIV prevention impact. VMMC methods include both surgical and device methods approved by WHO and PEPFAR and the provision of data-driven, evidence-informed differentiated circumcision models within existing PEPFAR and MoHCC guidelines. Ethically-sound and culturally sensitive demand creation methods will be engaged. The recipient(s) –is/are expected to also support efforts towards linkage of the sustainable VMMC program with other HIV prevention efforts in 14 PEPFAR/CDC-supported districts (Chitungwiza, Goromonzi, Marondera, Guruve, Mbire, Hurungwe, Chegutu, Sanyati, Mhondoro, Mberengwa, Gokwe South, Zaka, Matobo and Lupane), subject to change from year to year with changing disease burden, programming gaps, priorities, and PEPFAR guidance.
