The activities under this NOFO will be aligned with the surveillance and epidemiology direction of the Kenya National AIDS Strategic Framework, Kenya National HIV Surveillance Strategy, and PEPFAR Kenya Country Operational Plans with an emphasis on case based surveillance (CBS) and recency surveillance. Successful applicants will demonstrate understanding of the Kenyan HIV epidemiological context and evidence of a history of surveillance-relevant fieldwork. The recipient(s) will support the GOK and its partners in strengthening capacity to design, implement, analyze, disseminate, and use data from epidemiologic studies and surveillance to focus on sustained HIV epidemiologic control including accurately measuring outcomes and impact, while informing decision making and policy in the national and sub-national HIV response. The NOFO will emphasize analytical and epidemiological skills, geospatial analyses, costing studies, and strategies for capacity-building at national and sub-national levels.
