Description
This forecasted funding opportunity, administered by the Centers for Disease Control-GHC, aims to enhance regional capacity to address HIV, tuberculosis (TB), and other global health priorities in Central America, specifically targeting El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, and Panama. The program is designed to advance progress toward the 95-95-95 HIV targets and support the transition of site-level support to local governments. Activities will focus on improving HIV prevention (especially for at-risk populations), diagnosis, and life-saving treatment, as well as strengthening local health systems, data monitoring, and workforce capacity. The initiative also supports the integration of care for HIV, TB, and other opportunistic infections, and aims to build sustainable, country-owned, and efficient health systems capable of responding to infectious disease threats.
