Deadline: 5 March 2025
The United States Department of Health and Human Services is requesting grant applications to reduce HIV and TB incidence and mortality in global settings through data-driven programs and strengthened public health systems.
They expect you to provide technical assistance to the Eswatini Ministry of Health (MOH) national and regional structures to strengthen programmatic leadership and oversight capacities toward ending HIV as a public health threat in Eswatini by 2030. The technical assistance you provide should systematically increase MOH ownership, accountability, and capacity to provide quality services to maintain gains made in the HIV response and accelerate progress to close remaining gaps. You will be expected to support the MOH to:
- Conduct strategic planning and develop policies, guidelines, and implementation plans.
- Strengthen health workforce capacity through development and implementation of innovative training, data-driven clinical mentorship, and continuous quality improvement (CQI) approaches, tools, and processes.
- Introduce evidence-based interventions.
- Foster innovation.
- Coordinate activities.
- Provide oversight and performance monitoring of HIV/TB and related programs.
Additionally, you will be expected to strengthen organizational, financial, and technical capacity of select local entities. Emphasis should be placed on designing interventions that can be integrated into routine health delivery platforms, used across program areas, and eventually sustained through domestic funding.
Purpose
- The purpose of this NOFO is to enhance the technical capacity of the MOH and other local entities to effectively respond to HIV/TB and related public health threats in the Kingdom of Eswatini. The overall goal is to incrementally increase MOH ownership, accountability, and capacity to coordinate and monitor performance of service provision. This will be achieved by focusing on enhancing the skills, knowledge, and technical resources necessary for effective planning, implementation, monitoring, quality management, and improvement of integrated HIV/TB and other related public health programs.
