Activities by the Ministry of National Education of Cote d'Ivoire Under 
the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief; Notice of Intent to 
Fund Single Eligibility Award

A. Purpose

    The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) announces the 
intent to fund fiscal year (FY) 2004 funds for a cooperative agreement 
program to assist the Ministry of National Education (MEN) of Cote 
d'Ivoire to rapidly expand their efforts to prevent HIV/AIDS among 
students and staff members, and to provide, or link with, effective 
comprehensive care and treatment services for HIV-infected students and 
staff members. The Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance number for 
this program is 93.941.

B. Eligible Applicant

    The Ministry of National Education (MEN) of Cote d'Ivoire is the 
only organization that can apply for these funds. This Ministry is the 
only organization that is mandated by the Government of Cote d'Ivoire 
to train, supervise, and provide services and activities for all three 
target groups named in this announcement: students, school teachers, 
and school health professionals; and is, therefore, the most direct 
route to reach these populations with effective HIV prevention and care 
interventions.

C. Funding

    Approximately $200,000 is available in FY 2004 to fund this award. 
It is expected that the award will begin on or before July 15, 2004, 
and will be made for a 12-month budget period within a project period 
of up to three years. Funding estimates may change.
