The Award Ceiling for Year 1 is 0 (none). CDC anticipates an Approximate Total Fiscal Year Funding amount of $29,136,875 for Year 1, subject to the availability of funds. This NOFO will support implementation of comprehensive, quality HIV prevention, and treatment programs in faith-based sites in: Eastern Deanery AIDS Relief Program-affiliated sites in the Eastern slums of Nairobi County; Coptic Hospital-affiliated sites in Nairobi and Vihiga Counties; and Bomu Hospital-affiliated sites in Mombasa, Kwale, and Kilifi Counties in Kenya. These sites leverage the interaction with faith communities to provide services to difficult to reach populations mostly living in informal settlements. For sustainability and efficiency, HIV services will be integrated into the routine health-care delivery system with linkages to the counties and communities. The model will include HIV testing services (HTS); pediatric and adult HIV treatment; TB/HIV prevention, diagnosis and treatment; Prevention of mother-to-child transmission (PMTCT); Voluntary medical male circumcision (VMMC); Orphans and vulnerable children (OVC); Key populations (KP) (female sex workers [FSW], men who have sex with men [MSM], transgender [TG] and people who inject drugs [PWID]); adolescent girls and young women (AGYW); laboratory services and strategic information. This NOFO aligns itself with UNAIDS, PEPFAR, and Kenya’s goal of ending AIDS by 2030 through improved coverage and quality of HIV services for all populations reduced HIV incidence, reduced morbidity and mortality among people living with HIV (PLHIV), and elimination of mother-to-child transmission of HIV (eMTCT).
