    The Division of Global HIV and Tuberculosis has released a Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) under the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) with the aim to sustain HIV and TB epidemic control in Lesotho through health system strengthening and technical assistance. The application is due by February 20, 2025, with a total expected funding of $15 million for Year 1 and a cooperative agreement structure. Eligible applicants can include state, local governments, nonprofits, and foreign entities, provided all projects are conducted in Lesotho. The NOFO targets four specific districts (Leribe, Berea, Quthing, and Qacha’s Nek) and aims to achieve UNAIDS 95-95-95 targets while addressing ongoing public health challenges such as persistent clinical gaps, high new infections among young women, and inadequate service delivery to key populations. Activities will focus on case identification, integrating services for non-communicable diseases, quality improvement, and enhancing the health system’s capacity to support sustainable healthcare. Upon receiving funds, grantees are expected to implement person-centered care models, provide comprehensive services related to HIV and TB, and enhance data utilization for program improvements. Continuous collaboration with local Ministries and adherence to PEPFAR goals will be critical throughout the funding duration to ensure alignment with health priorities in Lesotho.
