Information Education and Communication for Basic HIV Care
Packages in the Republic of Uganda; Notice of Availability of Funds
Announcement Type: New.
Funding Opportunity Number: 04226.
Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance Number: 93.941.
Key Dates:
Application Deadline: July 14, 2004.
I. Funding Opportunity Description
Authority: This program is authorized under Sections 301 and 307
of the Public Health Service Act, 42 U.S.C. 241 and 242l, and
Section 104 of the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961, 22 U.S.C. 215lb.
Purpose: The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)
announces the availability of fiscal year (FY) 2004 funds for a
cooperative agreement program for Information Education and
Communication (IEC) for Basic HIV Care Packages in the Republic of
Uganda. This program addresses the ``Healthy People 2010'' focus area
of HIV.
The overall aim of this program is to promote two basic care
packages for persons living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHAs). It is currently
proposed that the basic preventive care package includes cotrimoxazole
prophylaxis, active tuberculosis (TB) screening and treatment or
Isoniazid (INH) prophylaxis, a safe water vessel with chlorine
solution, an insecticide-treated bed-net (ITN), and prevention with
positives counseling (PWPC). In addition to the above, the palliative
care package would include pain management and psychosocial support.
The process of agreeing to standardized packages with care provider
organizations and the Ministry of Health (MOH) is well advanced.
Additional work needs to be done on developing sustainable delivery
systems for some components of the packages. Once standardization and
delivery systems are agreed upon, these interventions could be rapidly
expanded throughout the country through the many organizations
providing care for HIV infected persons as well as through more general
social marketing. The packages could also be promoted through HIV
counseling and testing programs. The IEC program should promote the
acceptance and use of the packages and undertake social marketing of
specific package components as deemed necessary. The provision of
antiretroviral (ARV) therapy is not part of this program.
The United States Government seeks to reduce the impact of HIV/AIDS
in specific countries within sub-Saharan Africa, Asia and the Americas.
The President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) encompasses
HIV/AIDS activities in more than 75 countries and focuses on 14
countries, including Uganda, to develop comprehensive and integrated
prevention, care and treatment programs. CDC has initiated its Global
AIDS Program (GAP) to strengthen capacity and expand activities in the
areas of: (1) HIV primary prevention; (2) HIV care, support and
treatment; and (3) capacity and infrastructure development including
surveillance. Targeted countries represent those with the most severe
epidemics and the highest number of new infections. They also represent
countries where the potential impact is greatest and where the United
States government agencies are already active. Uganda is one of those
countries.
CDC's mission in Uganda is to work with Ugandan and international
partners to develop, evaluate, and support effective implementation of
interventions to prevent HIV and related illnesses and improve care and
support of persons with HIV/AIDS.
Basic care for people with HIV in Uganda is provided by a wide
variety of governmental, non-governmental, community-based and faith-
based organizations across the country as well as by people with HIV
and their families. At present, there is little consistency on the
content or quality of care provided. All people with HIV, whether
receiving ARVs or not, would benefit from receiving a quality basic
care package. Field research has shown that key low-cost elements of
the basic preventive care package such as cotrimoxazole prophylaxis and
provision of safe water prolong survival and increase the quality of
life of persons with HIV. Palliative care, including pain management
and psychosocial support for people with HIV nearing the end of their
lives, has been pioneered in Africa by Ugandan organizations such as
The AIDS Support Organization (TASO), Hospice Uganda and Mildmay.
However, even when standardization of the basic HIV care packages has
been agreed upon, there will still be a major effort required to ensure
that all stakeholders are aware of the importance and rationale for the
packages.
The purpose of this program is to ensure that all key stakeholders
in basic care for people with HIV including care providing
organizations, counselors, people with HIV and their families, and
those offering HIV testing services and treatment know all the
components of the basic care packages, their utility, and can access
and use those elements as necessary. The program should develop a
variety of targeted IEC strategies to meet its objectives. In addition,
social marketing of elements of the basic care packages should be
conducted, with the aim of providing access for people with HIV at the
same time as avoiding stigmatization of the product. It is expected
that a five-year program be developed. The program will adapt its
strategies based on feedback from users and market research to improve
uptake and access, ensuring that gaps in knowledge and access are
progressively addressed. This program does not include any
responsibility for direct financial support of care provision.
The measurable outcomes of the program will be in alignment with
the GAP goals to reduce HIV transmission and improve care of persons
living with HIV. They also will contribute to the PEPFAR goals, which
are: (1) Within five years treat more than two million
[[Page 33030]]
HIV-infected persons with effective combination ARV therapy; (2) care
for seven million HIV-infected and affected persons including those
orphaned by HIV/AIDS; and (3) prevent 10 million new infections.
