Fund Number: 4747 - Fund Title: Twinning Program Cooperative Agreement
| |
Fund Number: 4747
Fund Title: Twinning Program Cooperative Agreement
Fund Category:
HIV/AIDS
Description:
Grant Amount: Approximately $16,000,000 is expected to be available annually to fund one awardee.
The purpose of this announcement is to solicit applications for the Twinning Program Cooperative Agreement. The overall goal of the Twinning Program (TP) is to provide facilitation, management and technical support for the formation of HIV-AIDS-related, voluntary, peer-to-peer institutional partnerships for capacity building in collaboration with U.S. government (USG) field offices to support the President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) and its strategic vision and plan as stated in the PEPFAR Blueprint for Creating an AIDS-free Generation.
In supporting the TP model, PEPFAR recognizes the need for diverse evidence-based cost-efficient approaches for systems and capacity building. Activities supported by the TP will need to follow PEPFAR Blueprint principles of:
(1) Making strategic and scientifically sound investments to maximize impact and efficiencies,
(2) Working with partner countries, civil society, Faith Based Organizations (FBOs), and the private sector,
(3) Supporting activities that minimize stigma and discrimination with attention to gender equality,
(4) Proactively monitoring and improving outcomes and efficiencies.
First started in 2004, the TP will continue to support partnerships between U.S.-based organizations and host-country organizations (north-south partnerships) and between in-country and regional organizations (south-south partnerships and south-south-north partnerships) to strengthen human and organizational capacity. To date, major objectives of the TP’s partnerships have been to strengthen health systems in various PEPFAR countries/regions by:
Expanding the pool of trained providers, managers, and allied health staff delivering quality HIV/AIDS services;
Strengthening organization structures and systems;
Supporting limited infrastructure enhancements;
Facilitating private sector engagement through volunteerism; and
Working in support of in-country Government strategic plans and OGAC-supported PEPFAR team priorities.
Going forward, the TP will sharpen its scope of work to directly support Country Ownership of national HIV responses. Examples of types of future partnerships that empower local partners to own and manage HIV-related activities include, but are not limited to, those that:
Strengthen organizational, management, and advocacy capacities of professional associations;
Facilitate integration of community-based health worker cadres into national structures and systems;
Support institutionalization of cadres from other sectors (e.g., social workers) into the national HIV response;
Building capacity of sub-national governmental and non-governmental organizations to improved local-level HIV planning and management.
