Opportunity Information: Apply for 72062019RFA00004
The Key Population Community HIV Services Action and Response (KP-CARE 2) Activity is a USAID/Nigeria funding opportunity designed to strengthen Nigeria's HIV response for key populations by reducing new HIV infections and lessening the overall impact of HIV on communities at highest risk. The activity focuses on delivering a comprehensive, evidence-based package of HIV services that combines prevention, testing, treatment, and ongoing care, while also tackling the real-world structural barriers that often keep key populations from safely and consistently accessing health services. In practical terms, the opportunity is framed around closing critical gaps and removing bottlenecks in how HIV services reach and retain key populations, with implementation aligned to World Health Organization (WHO) guidance for key population programming.
The award is offered as a Cooperative Agreement, meaning USAID expects a substantial level of involvement during implementation compared with a standard grant. Under this type of arrangement, the recipient is typically responsible for day-to-day program delivery but works closely with USAID on key aspects such as work planning, performance monitoring, strategic adjustments, and ensuring the activity stays aligned with USAID priorities and technical standards. The funding instrument signals that the activity is not just about financing services, but also about coordinated implementation, learning, and course-correction as data and on-the-ground realities evolve.
Programmatically, KP-CARE 2 is intended to support HIV prevention, care, and treatment for key populations, alongside interventions that reduce stigma, discrimination, and other obstacles that limit service uptake. While the notice does not list every intervention, the reference to a comprehensive WHO-aligned package generally implies a mix of community-based and facility-linked approaches that can include targeted HIV testing strategies, linkage to antiretroviral therapy (ART), retention and adherence support, prevention commodities and counseling, and referral pathways for related health and protection needs. The emphasis on structural barriers points to work beyond clinical services alone, such as improving the friendliness and confidentiality of services, strengthening community-led outreach, addressing fear of arrest or harassment, and reducing stigma in service delivery points so clients can seek care earlier and remain in care longer.
Geographically, the activity is expected to begin by focusing on key populations in Bauchi and Adamawa States. This initial targeting suggests USAID is concentrating resources where there may be clear unmet needs or strategic importance, with the goal of building effective models that can achieve measurable outcomes in those settings. The activity is categorized under Health funding and is intended as a single award, indicating USAID is looking for one lead implementer capable of managing a substantial, multi-component program that likely includes coordination with local partners, community groups, and health systems actors.
From a funding and competition standpoint, this opportunity was issued by the U.S. Agency for International Development, Nigeria (USAID-Abuja), under Funding Opportunity Number 72062019RFA00004, and was posted on April 1, 2019 with an original closing date of May 15, 2019. USAID anticipated making one award with an award ceiling of $19,395,795, reflecting a significant investment meant to deliver services at scale and to improve the overall effectiveness of key population HIV programming. The eligibility category is listed broadly as "Others," with additional eligibility details referenced in the full solicitation text, which typically clarifies what types of organizations can apply (for example, non-profit organizations, local entities, international NGOs, or consortia) and any restrictions or requirements tied to USAID assistance.
Overall, KP-CARE 2 is positioned as a targeted, high-impact HIV activity that combines direct service delivery with deliberate efforts to remove the barriers that prevent key populations from benefiting from prevention and treatment. The central idea is that clinical services alone are not enough; reducing incidence and mitigating HIV's impact requires community-centered programming, strong linkage and retention systems, and practical steps to make services accessible, safe, and consistent for people who are often underserved or marginalized.Apply for 72062019RFA00004
