Goals andpriorities include the following:• Achieving primary prevention of HIV infection through activities such asexpanding confidential counseling and testing programs and building programs toreduce mother-to-child transmission;• Improving the care and treatment of HIV/AIDS, sexually transmitted infections(STIs) and related opportunistic infections by improving STI management;enhancing the care and treatment of opportunistic infections, and initiating programs to provide anti-retroviral and• Strengthening the capacity of countries to collect and use surveillance data andmanage national HIV/AIDS programs by expanding HIV/STI/TB surveillanceprograms and strengthening laboratory support for monitoring and HIV screening for blood safety.Under the leadership of the Global AIDS Coordinator, as part of the President’sEmergency Plan, the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) works withhost countries and other key partners to assess the needs of each country and design acustomized program of assistance that fits within the host nation’s strategic plan.The President’s Emergency Plan is seeking a partner to implement rural and limitedurban (in informal settlements of Windhoek), confidential HIV counseling, testing andrelated interventions in six regions of Namibia. These six regions are required in the firstyear of the project; should funding permit, the project would be expanded to additionalregions during the five-year project period. Grantee activities include providingconfidential HIV counseling, testing and related interventions, including routine testing inmedical and health-care settings and house-to-house and community testing, toindividuals and linking individuals to already-existing HIV care in the area.The regions in have the highest rates of HIV in Namibia, as high as 39.4 percent among womenwho attend prenatal care in the district of Caprivi, according to the 2006 sentinelsurveillance survey. With the exception of the Khomas Region which includes thecapital city of Windhoek, the remaining regions are in the north, where the majority ofthe population of Namibia resides. The northern regions include one of the main routesfor overland transportation traffic in Africa. Additionally, many northern Namibians,particularly men, migrate from the north to the south each year to work in the servicesector in Windhoek or to mining and agricultural areas in the south. These features makethe people of Khomas Region and the northern regions especially vulnerable to HIVinfections and in need of full prevention, care and treatment.The grantee will provide confidential HIV testing, counseling and related interventions tohouseholds in the defined target area. The emphasis will be on personalizing theinterventions delivered to each individual in a household, and working systematicallywith all households within the defined community area, to provide confidential, routinecounseling and testing (CT) at the home; HIV knowledge and information to promotebehavior-change; referrals to anti-retroviral counseling on ARTadherence; and referrals for the prevention of mother-to-child transmission (PMTCT).The program will place a special emphasis on offering confidential, voluntary counselingand testing to families in their homes.
