Strengthening HIV Counselor Training in the Republic of Uganda; 
Notice of Availability of Funds

    Announcement Type: New.
    Funding Opportunity Number: Program Announcement 04224.
    Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance Number: 93.941.
    Key Dates:
    Application Deadline: July 26, 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. Section 241 and 242l, and 
section 104 of the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961, 22 U.S.C. 215lb], as 
amended.

Purpose

    The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) announces the 
availability of fiscal year (FY) 2004 funds for a cooperative agreement 
program for Strengthening HIV Counselor Training in the Republic of 
Uganda. This program addresses the ``Healthy People 2010'' focus 
area(s) HIV.
    The overall aim of this program is to: (1) Improve the capacity of 
HIV counselor training providers in Uganda to meet expanding need for 
counselors; (2) to develop new messages adapted to complex HIV issues 
and strategies; and (3) to ensure the quality of training.
    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.
    HIV counselor training in Uganda started about 15 years ago. 
Counselor training has grown, but it has grown haphazardly with many 
providers but little coordination of curriculum or quality control. 
Counseling skills are not yet a routine element of pre-service training 
for medical professionals. New curriculum development is needed to 
cover rapidly evolving issues such as antiretroviral therapy (ART), 
prevention of Mother to Child Transmission (PMTCT), home based 
counseling and testing, basic preventative care, routine counseling and 
testing (RCT) in clinical settings, and prevention with positives (PWP) 
counseling. In addition, the curriculum will include approaches that 
counselors can use to implement the ABC approach (that promotes 
abstinence until marriage, being faithful after HIV testing, and proper 
use of condoms.) Curriculum content, skills levels, and training 
duration need to be graded in accordance with the level and intensity 
of counseling to be provided by the trainee in the context of their 
work. Certification of qualifications within a common framework and 
accreditation of training providers are all key steps required to 
improve quality. Major NGO training providers need institutional 
development support in increasing their training output capacity to 
meet the demands of growing programs under the HIV/AIDS National 
Strategy. Without rapid impact in the area of counselor training, the 
lack of quality counseling as well as the limited number of counselors 
could become a major constraint in delivering increases in voluntary 
counseling and testing (VCT), RCT, PMTCT, basic care and ART.
    The purpose of this program is to ensure that Uganda is able to 
meet its expanding need for quality HIV/AIDS counseling at different 
levels. The program will work with the Ministry of Health (MOH) and 
other stakeholders to review training needs, curricula, supply and 
demand, and delivery strategies. Training strategies and revised and 
new curricula will be developed to address gaps. Competencies will be 
determined for different levels of counseling and modular curricula 
will be developed for different target groups. Capacity building in the 
form of skills and organizational development will be provided to key 
training organizations to implement the new curricula and strategies 
and increase their trainee output. Support will be provided to the

[[Page 35374]]

formation and development of an appropriate coordinating mechanism such 
as a professional body for counselors to work closely with the MOH and 
other stakeholders on issues such as quality assurance of training, 
curriculum coordination, certification, and standards and professional 
ethics.
    The measurable outcomes of the program will be in alignment with 
goals of the Global AIDS Program to reduce HIV transmission and improve 
care of persons living with HIV (PLWH). They also will contribute to 
the PEPFAR goals for Uganda, which are: (1) Within five years treat 
more than two million HIV-infected persons with effective combination 
anti-retroviral therapy; (2) care for seven million HIV-infected and 
affected persons including those orphaned by HIV/AIDS; and (3) prevent 
10 million new infections. A specific measurable outcome of this 
program is expected to be an increase in annual certified HIV counselor 
output in Uganda.

Activities

    Awardee activities for this program are as follows:
    a. Identify project staffing needs; hire and train staff.

    f. Develop and field test modular curricula, including visual aides

    g. Support HIV counselor training organizations to implement the 
new curricula and build the capacity of their training units to supply 
the demand for quality counselors.

    o. Establish appropriate counselor training scholarship mechanisms 
and provide scholarships to meet critical gaps for counselors

development of a management information system (MIS) for HIV counselor 
training and to ensure collection of PEPFAR indicator data.
    q. Ensure that the above activities are undertaken in a manner

standards for HIV counseling and counselor training and for quality 
assurance systems.
    b. Collaborate with the recipient, as needed, in the development of 
an information technology system for tracking key counselor training 
activities and in the analysis of data derived from those records.
    c. Assist, as needed, in evaluation of the program and in 
development of further appropriate initiatives.
    d. Provide input, as needed, into the criteria for selection of
