    72011524RFA00008.pdf
    This document is an amendment to the Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) No. 72011524RFA00008 issued by USAID's Regional Mission for Central Asia, focusing on improving HIV services in Kazakhstan through local organizations. The amendment modifies the eligibility criteria for applicants, specifically emphasizing that only local organizations—defined as those legally established in Kazakhstan and majority-owned and governed by Kazakh citizens or lawful permanent residents—are eligible for funding. Furthermore, the document restricts applicants who are currently involved in PEPFAR-funded health service delivery activities, either directly or as subcontractors. The revised eligibility requirements aim to encourage applications from organizations without prior USAID funding history. This amendment reflects USAID's intent to support local capacities in health service delivery and enhance the effectiveness of HIV interventions in Kazakhstan.

    NOFO No. 72011524RFA00008 SAPA.pdf
    NOFO.pdf
    The document outlines a Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) from the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) focusing on enhancing the accessibility and quality of HIV services in Kazakhstan, particularly through the Ensuring Accessibility to Quality HIV Services (SAPA) program. Issued on June 11, 2024, the opportunity targets qualified local organizations, with applications due by July 15, 2024. The program responds to a significant rise in new HIV infections in Kazakhstan, particularly affecting key populations such as people who inject drugs and men who have sex with men. Despite improvements in community-centered care and HIV service access, challenges like stigma and discrimination persist, necessitating interventions. The SAPA aims to implement community-led monitoring (CLM) and establish “safe spaces” in healthcare settings, thereby fostering non-discriminatory environments and enhancing service quality. Key objectives include reducing stigma by training healthcare providers, improving healthcare infrastructure, and strengthening community capacities for continuous monitoring of service quality. Collaborations across stakeholders and the incorporation of feedback from affected communities will guide efforts to achieve sustainable improvements in HIV service delivery in the targeted regions of Kazakhstan.
