AI Contract Overview
The contract outlines a funding opportunity from the Centers for Disease Control aimed at enhancing regional capacity to combat HIV, tuberculosis, and other global health priorities in Central America, with a projected fiscal year funding of approximately $20 million. The focus is on advancing progress toward the 95-95-95 targets—ensuring 95% of people living with HIV know their status, 95% of those diagnosed receive sustained treatment, and 95% of those treated achieve viral suppression—while supporting the transition of site-level HIV programs to local governments in El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, and Panama. Key activities include addressing gaps in HIV prevention, diagnosis, and treatment by strengthening country ownership and local healthcare capacity. This involves implementing strategies such as Sentinel Surveillance for STI and HIV (VICITS), active case-finding through various testing methods, and integrating comprehensive care services for HIV, tuberculosis, and related infections. The contract emphasizes building healthcare worker skills through continuous quality improvement, utilizing robust data systems for monitoring health outcomes, and promoting sustainable health systems with a focus on efficiency, local leadership, and global health security to mitigate infectious disease threats.
