Fund Number: 3586
Fund Title: Support to Provide Technical Assistance to Provide
High-Quality Pre-Service Education for Health Workers and to Strengthen
the Government of Botswana's Health Workforce Wellness Program under the
President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR)
Fund Category: HIV/AIDS
Description:
Grant Amounts: Approximate Current Fiscal Year Funding: $800,000;
Approximate Total Project Period Funding: $4,000,000 (This amount is an
estimate, and is subject to availability of funds.)
HHS/CDC announces the availability of Fiscal Year 2008 funds for a
cooperative agreement to assist with capacity building in the Botswana
health training institutes and health worker wellness program. The
purpose of this cooperative agreement is to provide technical assistance
to (1) strengthen the Government of Botswana's (GOB) ability, through
its health training institutes, to provide state of the art, high
quality pre-service education for health workers to support the
effective implementation of HIV prevention, treatment and care services;
and (2) strengthen the GOB health workforce wellness program.
Eight health training institutes provide most of the training of nurses
and other allied health workers in the country, three of which are
non-governmental institutions attached to mission hospitals while five
are under the Ministry of Health (MOH), with a current enrollment of
approximately 1,500 students. A basic diploma is offered in general
nursing, medical laboratory technology, pharmacy technology, dental
therapy, health education and environmental health. Post-basic courses
are offered in midwifery, family nurse practice, community health
nursing, and nurse anesthesia. Since 2003, the US Government (USG) has
provided technical assistance to the Institutes of Health Sciences (IHS)
to (1) integrate and strengthen Prevention of Mother to Child
Transmission of HIV (PMTCT) into the midwifery curriculum, (2) provide
HIV/AIDS informational resources to faculty and libraries and, since
2007, (3) strengthen HIV/AIDS content and teaching in all programs. HIV
competencies have been developed for the General Nursing and Health
Education programs and HIV content in courses strengthened, the Medical
Laboratory Technologist curriculum is being upgraded to a degree
program, and the African Palliative Care Association is strengthening
palliative care content and delivery. While all eight institutes are
the intended beneficiaries of this assistance, the IHS in Gaborone has
been the focal point for two twinning partnerships because it is the
largest of the institutes and offers the majority of the programs. The
twinning activities with the Institute of Health Sciences Gaborone
(IHSG), however, will be rolled out to the other institutes over the
next two years. Challenges faced in integrating and strengthening HIV
content into pre-service training include: weak leadership and
technical guidance from MOH headquarters; slow process of
revising/developing curricula and programs; weak linkages between MOH
HIV programs/clinical services and in-service training units and
pre-service training institutes; under-resourced facilities;
unattractive faculty salaries and teaching environment; and, few
partners providing external technical assistance and funding. USG
support in this area will be evaluated in 2008 by an outside evaluator
with the objective of improving the effectiveness of PEPFAR support.
Activities implemented under this cooperative agreement will address
recommendations made in the evaluation and support the continued
strengthening of HIV content and teaching in all programs in all
institutes.
In addition, this cooperative agreement will support further development
and implementation of a workplace program to provide HIV education and
services to students and faculty in collaboration with the MOH National
Wellness Program for Health Workers. USG has provided technical
assistance to the MOH for the development and implementation of this
program since 2005. Additional technical assistance for training and
support materials for use in the national program and in the Institutes
will be needed in future.

Fund Number: 3587
Fund Title:
Strengthening HIV Counseling and Testing Services in the United Republic
of Tanzania under the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief
Fund Category: HIV/AIDS
Description:
Grant Amounts: Approximate Current Fiscal Year Funding: $500,000;
Approximate Total Project Period Funding: $2,500,000 (This amount is an
estimate, and is subject to availability of funds.)
The purpose of the program funded through this announcement is to
increase the use of high quality HIV CT services in Tanzania. With
appropriate prevention counseling, use of CT services is intended to
lead to safer sexual behaviors, including abstinence, fidelity, and
correct and consistent condom use. In addition, there may be increased
use of care and support services through a strong referral network to
complementary services.
Through this funding opportunity, the successful applicant will expand
implementation of PITC at a collaborating medical facility (i.e.,
regional or referral hospital), establish a static VCT site in a high
demand area, and conduct targeted mobile or community testing as
outlined in the Tanzanian national policy guidelines for HIV counseling
and testing and following the national rapid-testing algorithm. For
PITC, clinical staff from the collaborating medical facility will
receive the knowledge and skills required to support testing and
counseling for clients attending outpatient departments, inpatient
departments, STI clinics and TB clinics at a minimum. At the static
facility, an emphasis should be placed on demand creation, enhancing the
skills of counselors to conduct specialized services. The provision of
mobile CT services should be guided by existing epidemiologic,
behavioral and facility data to proactively reach the most at-risk and
underserved populations. Strategies to achieve these goals include
orienting providers and clients on the new PITC guidelines, training
providers using the national PITC curriculum, creating a demand for
static CT services, and coordinating with non-governmental organizations
and agencies conducting outreach among high-risk groups.
The program also will ensure the following: technical assistance and
mentorship for the Ministry of Health and Social Welfare and the
National AIDS Control Program in improving CT service delivery and
adoption of new initiatives (e.g., lay counselors); support for a
training/learning center that addresses core principles of CT in
addition to emerging areas such as stigma reduction, disclosure,
substance use, prevention with positives and anti-burnout techniques for
counselors; appropriate supportive supervision for all CT staff, which
will include checking registers completed by counselors, reviewing
counseling testing protocols and observing counseling sessions;
organizational capacity to conduct CT-relevant public health evaluations
to tailor services, as needed; strengthened delivery of couples and
pediatric testing; a consistent supply chain for essential HIV-testing
commodities working with a USG-funded partner; a systematic approach to
monitor and evaluate CT services that will permit the use of routine
program data to inform program implementation and management, identify
gaps in services, and address reporting requirements; and collaboration
with the Ministry of Health to integrate CT measures into a health
management information system (HMIS).
In addition, the successful applicant must establish an effective
referral system for all HIV-positive individuals who are identified. The
program will facilitate technical assistance to ensure that
comprehensive CT is readily available at nearby health facilities. The
program must also develop or strengthen, as needed, community structures
for HIV-prevention education, post-test clubs, and peer-support groups
to assist and follow-up on HIV-positive clients and their families.

Fund Number: 3588
Fund Title: Promoting HIV Prevention for Youth through a National HIV
Hotline and Behavior Change Communication in the United Republic of
Tanzania under the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief
Fund Category: HIV/AIDS
Description: Grant Amounts: Approximate Current Fiscal Year Funding:
$500,000; Approximate Total Project Period Funding: $2,500,000 (This
amount is an estimate, and is subject to availability of funds.)
The purpose of this announcement is to support HIV prevention among the
youth of Tanzania using telecommunications technology and behavior
change communications strategies to promote abstinence, the reduction of
multiple partners, and consistent and correct condom use. The
organization chosen for this funding opportunity will be responsible for
developing a toll-free, HIV hotline to provide accurate and confidential
information about HIV/AIDS to ensure that Tanzanian youth continue to be
well-informed. The hotline should be conceptualized to equip youth
callers, and young adults, with information about HIV/AIDS and behaviors
contributing to the spread of the virus. The hotline should be staffed
by skilled and knowledgeable counselors who are capable of providing
rapid referrals to callers in need of additional social services (e.g.,
rape crisis or substance abuse counseling). Services initially will be
provided in large urban regions of Tanzania; however, the hotline's
capacity should expand throughout the country in subsequent years. To
capitalize on public-private partnerships, the successful applicant must
leverage resources from land line and mobile phone providers. In
addition, the successful applicant will develop and maintain a
database/monitoring and evaluation system to track call frequency, types
of questions asked, and general demographics of callers such as gender
and region of residence. Data from the monitoring system should be
analyzed to track trends and guide additional program activities.
Services should eventually expand to support an online counseling system
that would serve youth who would prefer to ask questions about HIV and
receive answers using the internet.
To support informational services provided through the hotline, the
successful applicant should develop complementary information and
education communication (IEC) materials and behavioral change
communication (BCC) strategies that promote HIV prevention for youth in
Tanzania. IEC materials should be multi-media and age appropriate. A
description of the proposed materials should be accompanied by a
distribution strategy, demonstrating strategic use of media for maximum
impact. BCC activities should foster youth leadership for HIV
prevention at the community and policy levels and may include
peer-to-peer approaches. IEC and BCC activities should adhere to the
principles of the ABC model (abstinence, being faithful to one partner,
and consistently using condoms), focusing on abstinence, being
faithful/partner reduction and correct and consistent condom use. In
addition, print and audio communication should address contextual risks
in Tanzania such as gender imbalance, transgenerational sex and
transactional sex among youth.
The successful applicant will also be required to procure and distribute
condoms in collaboration with another in-country partner, conduct
community outreach to cultivate environments conducive for youth HIV
prevention, and capacity-building and training for other local
non-governmental organizations serving Tanzanian youth. An optional
component is for the successful applicant to provide outreach services
to at-risk populations, including substance users, men who have sex with
men, and sex workers. This could include peer outreach and counseling,
and provision of or referral to HIV testing and other services.

Fund Number: 3589
Fund Title: Providing Information System Support for Training and
Implementation of National HIV Monitoring Systems in the Republic of
Tanzania under the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief
Fund Category: HIV/AIDS
Description:
Grant Amounts: Approximate Current Fiscal Year Funding: $2,500,000;
Approximate Total Project Period Funding: $12,500,000 (This amount is an
estimate, and is subject to availability of funds.)
The purpose of this announcement is to provide information system
support for training and implementation of the Tanzania National HIV
Care and Treatment, prevention-of-mother-to-child transmission (PMTCT),
and counseling and testing monitoring systems to the Ministry of Health
and Social Welfare (MOHSW) and PEPFAR HIV treatment implementing
partners.
With U.S. Government (USG) support, the Government of Tanzania (GoT) is
implementing a range of programs for the prevention of HIV infection and
care and treatment of persons infected with HIV. Selected program
elements include: facility and home-based HIV care and treatment;
PMTCT; and counseling and testing (CT) programs. In view of the rapid
scale-up, one of the biggest challenges is to ensure that there are
monitoring systems to capture data that can be used for dissemination
and decision making. Investing in the strengthening of the HIV
reporting and monitoring systems and building the capacity to train and
use these systems ensures that the achievement of PEPFAR goals can
ultimately be measured.
The MOHSW and the National AIDS Control Program (NACP) support a
decentralized approach to management of HIV/AIDS intervention programs.
For program monitoring, in part, this involves data collection,
synthesis and use at the point of service - at the health facility
level. Decentralization of program data management will result in early
identification and correction of data errors, as well as synthesis and
use of this information to improve service delivery.
With a Global Fund grant, a local institution was tasked to develop the
care and treatment centers (CTC) electronic monitoring database for the
NACP and health facilities. This is the standard system for electronic
data collection and reporting for the Care and Treatment program.
However, funding for training and continued support for this system
extends only to the four Global Fund-supported CTCs. Therefore, to
increase access and support of this system to direct appropriate action
to patient-level data and aggregate reports, care and treatment centers
have adopted the electronic database system. To date, 38 health
facilities providing care and treatment services have adopted the
electronic version of the national care and treatment monitoring tools,
and more than 170 health workers have been trained on its use. To
continue to support facilities that use this electronic system and add
additional facilities as care and treatment services expand to primary
health care facilities, it is important to provide appropriate training
and support to ensure accurate data entry and data management.
In addition, there are electronic monitoring systems for PMTCT and
counseling and testing, and a system for palliative care is under
development. All of these monitoring systems require continued
application support, development and training of end-users.

they can effectively utilize the existing electronic database will
require a high level of expertise in the area of information technology.
There are only a small number of organizations in Tanzania who have the
existing capability to rapidly begin this activity and build upon the
work funded by the Global Fund. Organizations with these skills in
Tanzania are limited to for- profit organizations, universities and
research institutions.

Testing, Basic Care and Antiretroviral Therapy at Rural Health
Facilities in High Prevalence Districts in the Republic of Uganda under
the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief
Fund Category: HIV/AIDS
Description:
Grant Amounts: Approximate Current Fiscal Year Funding: $2,154,000;
Approximate Total Project Period Funding: $10,770,000 (This amount is an

The purpose of this announcement is to support the Ministry of Health
(MoH) to scale up coverage of HIV prevention, care and treatment
services to underserved high prevalence areas through provision of
assistance to: (1) establish and manage routine confidential HIV
counseling and testing services for all patients; (2) provide
comprehensive clinical care for persons with HIV, including staff,
through provision of basic palliative care services and ART to eligible
clients; and (3) support the capacity of the target health facilities to
provide comprehensive HIV/AIDS care services through appropriate
training, networking, information exchange and planning.
During the first year, the program will target the two underserved rural
districts of Kibaale and Kiboga, and in each district three health units
(one district hospital and two health centre IVs) will be supported to
provide routine and counseling (RCT), pre-ART and ART services. All
providers in the selected health units will be trained to provide RCT
and basic care and ART services. In rural health facilities where human
resources are limited, all staff will be trained to provide all the
services.
