Opportunity Information: Apply for 72062019RFA00003
The Key Population Community HIV Services Action and Response (KP-CARE 1) Activity is a USAID/Nigeria funding opportunity designed to strengthen Nigeria's HIV response for key populations by cutting new infections and reducing the overall impact of HIV on groups that face higher risk and greater barriers to care. USAID is soliciting applications under a Cooperative Agreement, meaning the project would be implemented by the selected recipient with substantial involvement and collaboration from USAID during planning, execution, and monitoring. The activity focuses on delivering a comprehensive set of HIV services while also tackling the real-world structural issues that often prevent key populations from safely and consistently accessing prevention, testing, treatment, and ongoing support.
At its core, KP-CARE 1 is built to close persistent gaps and fix bottlenecks in service delivery for key populations. The opportunity emphasizes an integrated package that covers HIV prevention, care, and treatment in alignment with World Health Organization (WHO) guidance. That generally implies a combination of outreach and community-based engagement, access to HIV testing and counseling, strong linkage to antiretroviral therapy for those who test positive, and retention support to help clients stay in treatment and achieve viral suppression. On the prevention side, the scope typically includes evidence-based options that reduce transmission risk, paired with education and risk-reduction counseling that is appropriate to each population's circumstances. The project is also meant to improve continuity of care, so people are not lost between testing, enrollment, treatment initiation, and long-term follow-up.
A major feature of KP-CARE 1 is the explicit focus on structural barriers, recognizing that service availability alone is not enough when stigma, discrimination, violence, legal concerns, fear of exposure, or negative healthcare experiences push people away from care. The activity is intended to address those barriers as part of implementation, which commonly involves building safer, more confidential service delivery points; strengthening community-led approaches; improving provider sensitivity and competency; and creating referral and support pathways that reduce harm and increase trust. The goal is to make services not only clinically appropriate, but also accessible and acceptable to the communities being served.
Geographically, KP-CARE 1 is set to begin by targeting key populations in three Nigerian states: Lagos, Akwa Ibom, and Cross River. These locations signal a strategic focus on areas with significant need and where concentrated epidemics among key populations can have an outsized effect on overall HIV incidence. By starting in these states, the activity aims to demonstrate impact through a concentrated, comprehensive approach that can be adapted or expanded based on results and ongoing program priorities.
From an administrative standpoint, the opportunity is issued by USAID/Nigeria (USAID-Abuja) as a discretionary funding opportunity in the health sector, listed under CFDA 98.001. The funding opportunity number is 72062019RFA00003. USAID anticipated making one award, indicating an intention to select a single prime implementer responsible for leading the activity, coordinating partners, and ensuring performance against agreed objectives. The listing shows an award ceiling of 0, which typically means the public synopsis does not specify a maximum amount and applicants are expected to follow the detailed funding and budgeting instructions in the full solicitation. The notice was created on March 28, 2019, with an original closing date of May 13, 2019, and eligibility is broadly described as "Others," with further clarification expected in the solicitation's eligibility section.
Overall, KP-CARE 1 is a targeted HIV initiative that combines direct service delivery with barrier-reduction strategies for key populations, using a WHO-aligned package of interventions and focusing initial implementation in Lagos, Akwa Ibom, and Cross River. The intended outcome is a measurable reduction in new infections and improved health outcomes for key populations through better prevention coverage, faster and stronger linkage to treatment, improved retention, and a safer, more enabling environment for accessing care.Apply for 72062019RFA00003
