PSI
anticipates being awarded a multi-year United States Agency for International
Development (USAID) HIV and AIDS prevention, care and treatment project to
provide the United States Government (USG) with cost-effective access to
technical expertise and implementation support to meet evolving HIV and AIDS
needs. Specifically, the project will provide technical assistance services to
the Office of HIV and AIDS and the United States President's Plan for AIDS
Relief (PEPFAR) country teams in knowledge management, technical leadership,
program sustainability, strategic planning and program implementation support.
The project will likely be expected to:
Engage in long-term, in-country support for
coordination and scale-up of HIV and AIDS activities in support of PEPFAR
country strategies;
Provide short-term technical consultations
and program implementation support in specialized HIV and AIDS technical areas
and institutional capacity building to USG country teams and USAID/W Bureaus;
Increase technical capacity of host-country
decision-makers and personnel to design and implement effective, evidence-based
HIV and AIDS interventions;
Strengthen the capacity of host-country
implementing institutions to more effectively manage scale up and sustainability
of HIV and AIDS interventions;
Augment technical and programmatic capacity
available to PEPFAR country teams and USAID Washington Bureaus;
Conduct and/or oversee implementation of
HIV and AIDS program-related data collection, analysis and reporting
activities; and
Document and disseminate successful
innovative approaches and sustainable models, evidence-based best practices and
lessons learned, and new approaches, tools and methodologies in HIV and AIDS
programming and capacity building, through workshops, working papers and the
Internet.
Illustrative
HIV and AIDS technical areas and activities that USG country teams are likely
