    The Amendment No. 2 to Request for Application No. 72066024RFA00002 from USAID Kitumaini updates aspects of the application process, specifically increasing the allowed length of the Technical Approach from 15 to 17 pages and addressing omitted questions received by the deadline. The amendment clarifies inconsistencies in the Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) regarding indicators related to HIV and other prevention services, budgetary guidelines, and organizational capacity requirements for applicants. It confirms that the summary budget should only represent the initial three years of the activity and affirms that no cost-sharing requirement exists. Additionally, the timeline for project implementation and transition processes from previous programs is specified, indicating a shift starting October 2024. Overall, this document serves to streamline the application process, clarify expectations for applicants, and ensure consistency within the funding guidelines to support targeted HIV services in specified health zones of the DRC. The changes aim to facilitate a clearer understanding of the application requirements and enhance the success of HIV service delivery initiatives.
