What the grant funds

For Details please see full NOFO in Related Documents Section 1: PROGRAM DESCRIPTION AND OBJECTIVES Program Description The U.S. President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) Zambia in collaboration with the Government of the Republic of Zambia’s Ministry of Health (MOH) and the National HIV/AIDS/STI/TB Council (NAC) requests applications for an open competition from key population-led organizations to develop and implement a scorecard as part of PEPFAR Zambia’s efforts to strengthen community-led monitoring (CLM). The scorecard will assess the quality of and barriers to HIV prevention and treatment for key populations in Lusaka and Livingstone districts. PEPFAR defines a key population-led organization as an organization in which the majority of leadership and/or decision-making staff identify as members or former members of key population. PEPFAR recognizes the necessity of key population involvement in the collection and use of data to improve health outcomes and strengthen technical capacity. This funding opportunity seeks to improve the uptake and quality of HIV services for key population communities in Zambia. This will be done in a systematic approach by soliciting, collecting, and analyzing feedback from key population recipients of care to identify gaps in HIV service provision. In addition, the MOH supported sites will be engaged to provide information on key population accessed HIV services. The proposed scorecard is a participatory monitoring tool aimed at engaging key populations to assess the availability and quality of HIV prevention and treatment services and track the implementation of actionable recommendations to facilitate improvements. The tool is participatory in nature as it brings together the service providers (MOH) and users (key populations) in a respectful way to jointly monitor and evaluate services provided at the health facilities and address identified barriers. The scorecard will be a CLM tool designed by and implemented by a key population-led organization. Subject to availability of funding, implementation of the scorecard will be phased beginning with a pilot in Lusaka and Livingstone districts. The lessons learned will inform a potential expansion to other districts using a harmonized approach from the pilot phase.
