<p><strong style="color: black;">Project Description</strong></p>
<p>The PEPFAR Community Grants Program is funded through the U.S. President’s Emergency Plan for Aids Relief (PEPFAR). One of the goals of PEPFAR in Mozambique is to support efforts to achieve HIV epidemic control through implementation of evidence-based interventions to drive progress in HIV prevention, care and treatment and ultimately, save lives</p>
<p><span style="color: black;"> </span></p>
<p>Through the P<span style="color: black;">EPFAR Coordination </span>Office<span style="color: black;">, the U.S. Embassy in Maputo administers the </span></p>
<p><span style="color: black;">Community Grants Program (formerly Small Grants)</span> <span style="color: black;">and is seeking proposals from registered</span></p>
<p><span style="color: black;">community-based organizations whose mission and activities focuses on HIV programming.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: black;"> </span></p>
<p><strong style="color: black;">Objectives</strong></p>
<p><span style="color: black;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="color: black;">As PEPFAR continues to confront challenges with</span> retaining HIV+ individuals in care and treatment programs, our <span style="color: black;">collaboration with communities and patients is urgent and critical. Collaborating with community members that will identify barriers and enablers to accessing and utilizing HIV services will be key in im</span>proving retention in Mozambique, as will ensuring stigma and discrimination surrounding HIV is addressed. Organizations will be expected to carry out patient surveys and gather information on the patient experience at health facilities. This information will then be used to facilitate dialogue and advocacy for improvement. Training and technical assistance will be provided to organizations selected for this award.</p>
<p><span style="color: black;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="color: black;">This NOFO </span>seeks<span style="color: black;"> eligible organizations </span>to<span style="color: black;"> train, support, equip and </span>compensate PLHIV to carry out routine monitoring of the quality of HIV treatment services<span style="color: black;"> </span>received by patients at health facilities. We are looking for organizations that can help communities directly impacted by HIV to facilitate dialogue, based on patient experiences, that will help drive changes and improve HIV services in Mozambique.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><span style="color: black;">This mechanism will help PEPFAR</span> <span style="color: black;">programs, Public Health facilities and Local Government</span></p>
<p><span style="color: black;">Institutions </span>to gain insights on <span style="color: black;">persistent problems</span> impacting the quality of care of HIV and identify s<span style="color: black;">olutions or enablers </span>that will<span style="color: black;"> ensure that beneficiaries receive quality services and will encourage them to retain in care and adhere to their HIV treatment. </span></p>
