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.
