About this opportunity

The HIV/AIDS epidemic in Central America (CA) is concentrated, with low prevalence among the adult population but high prevalence among key populations (KPs), including men who have sex with men (MSM), transgender (TG) women (male to female), sex workers (SW), and certain ethnic groups, such as the Garifuna. In alignment with the IOM’s recommendations, as well as the Central America Partnership Framework (PF) and the Office of the Global AIDS Coordinator’s (OGAC) “Sustainability Planning Guidance Document: Advancing Country Ownership in PEPFAR III,” this FOA prioritizes support for concrete efforts that assist ministries of health (MOH) in Central America to implement national responses to their respective concentrated epidemics while sustaining programmatic quality and coverage goals.
