Innovative, Comprehensive, Cost-effective and Locally Sustainable Community and Facility HIV Prevention, Care and Treatment Services for Epidemic Control in the Republic of Zimbabwe under the President's Emergency Plan: The Award Ceiling for Year 1 is 0 (none). CDC anticipates an Approximate Total Fiscal Year Funding amount of $7,000,000 for Year 1, subject to the availability of funds. Zimbabwe has made considerable progress toward achieving HIV epidemic control and PEPFAR 95-95-95 targets, estimated at 74-87-86 in 2016. An estimated 1.33 million people in Zimbabwe are living with HIV (PLHIV) with an overall prevalence of 14% in the 15-49 age group. However, gaps remain in diagnosing and treating men <35 years, HIV prevention services for women <25 years, prevention of vertical HIV transmission, tuberculosis (TB) prevention, cervical cancer screening (CCS) and treatment of women 25-49 years on antiretroviral therapy (ART) in PEPFAR sites, viral load (VL) suppression among children and adolescents, and retention of patients in care across all age groups. The objective of this NOFO is for the recipient to support the Ministry of Health and Child Care (MOHCC) in addressing program gaps, providing a comprehensive HIV prevention, testing, treatment, and care and support program to reach and sustain epidemic control. The support includes, targeted and innovative case finding strategies, implementation of “treat all” with optimized ART, prioritization of children and adolescents for VL monitoring, TB preventive therapy (TPT) expansion, roll-out of CCS, and implementation of differentiated ART to strengthen adherence and retention. The recipient will support efforts towards elimination of mother-to-child transmission (eMTCT) of HIV. The recipient will work in CDC-supported provinces and districts, subject to change based upon disease burden and programming gaps.
