Opportunity Summary:
The EVIHT (Avoid HIV and its Transmission) opportunity is a USAID Haiti cooperative agreement solicitation issued under the broader U.S. Government post earthquake strategy for Haiti. It is framed to align with the Government of Haiti Action Plan for National Recovery and Development, while also fitting within the U.S. President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) Five Year Strategy. In practical terms, the grant is meant to strengthen HIV prevention in Haiti by supporting country-owned approaches that connect prevention, care, and treatment, and by reinforcing the Haitian health system so that HIV prevention is better integrated into routine primary health care rather than operating as a separate, stand-alone effort.
The award is structured as a single cooperative agreement, meaning USAID expects to have substantial involvement in the activity as it is implemented (more hands-on collaboration than a standard grant). The total estimated funding is $10.3 million, and the award ceiling is also $10.3 million, with an award floor listed as $0. The opportunity includes a cost sharing or matching requirement, so applicants should expect that USAID is looking for some form of applicant contribution (cash and or allowable in-kind support, depending on the final award terms and guidance in the full notice).
Programmatically, USAID lays out three headline results the implementer is expected to achieve by the end of the agreement. First, the project should increase HIV risk perception and self-efficacy among at-risk individuals in the general population. This is essentially a behavioral and communications goal: helping people recognize their personal risk and feel capable of taking preventive actions, which typically involves targeted messaging, community outreach, and practical risk-reduction education linked to services. Second, the project is expected to strengthen the capacity of key Haitian Ministry of Health entities, specifically the Direction de la Promotion de la Sante et de la Protection de l'Environnement (DPSPE/MOH) and the National AIDS Communication Program (NACP). The intent here is to leave behind stronger Haitian leadership and coordination so these institutions can direct the national HIV response and better harmonize HIV prevention within the basic package of primary health care services. Third, the project must address specific HIV prevention gaps identified by USAID. The notice highlights three gap areas in particular: improving secondary prevention through Positive, Health, Dignity, and Prevention (PHDP) services; improving the quality of and demand for prevention of mother-to-child transmission (PMTCT) services; and responding to the absence of a post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) program in Haiti, which is critical for preventing HIV after potential exposure (for example, occupational exposure in health facilities or exposure following sexual assault, depending on national policy and program design).
Eligibility is broad and includes for-profit organizations (other than small businesses), small businesses, and nonprofit organizations with or without IRS 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education in the nonprofit categories listed). The funding activity category is Health, and the opportunity is categorized as discretionary. The announcement was posted July 13, 2012, created August 14, 2012, and the closing date was extended from August 17, 2012 to August 31, 2012. The funding opportunity number is SOL-521-12-000043, and the issuing office is USAID Haiti in Port-au-Prince. For applicant support or access issues, the listed point of contact is Eleanore Armand Xavier, Acquisition and Assistance Specialist, at exavier@usaid.gov and phone 509 2 229 8806.
