Strengthening the HIV treatment and care program in Sierra Leone to accelerate progress to achieve epidemic control under the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR)

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is offering a cooperative agreement to strengthen the HIV treatment and care program in Sierra Leone under the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR). The initiative aims to enhance the capacity of national and district health management teams and civil society organizations to deliver high-quality HIV care and treatment services, while addressing barriers to antiretroviral treatment initiation and retention for affected populations. This funding opportunity is crucial for achieving the UNAIDS 95-95-95 targets and improving health systems in Sierra Leone. Interested applicants can reach out to the CDC at pepfarfoas@cdc.gov, with an estimated total funding of $12 million for the first year, and applications due by February 17, 2026.
