Announcement for Community REACH

Request for Applications (RFA) #04-B-1
Positive Prevention, Care and Support for People Living with
HIV/AIDS (PLWHAs)

12 July 2004

Pact's Community REACH team is pleased to announce the release
of its fifth Request for Applications (RFA). Under this RFA,
Pact anticipates awarding a total of $1.2 million to between
five (5) and seven (7) cooperative agreements supporting posi-
tive prevention, care and support for People Living with
HIV/AIDS (PLWHAs).

This Request for Applications (RFA) provides prospective local
and community-based NGOs with a fair opportunity to submit ap-
plications for funding for their programs that address Positive
Prevention, Care and Support for People Living with HIV/AIDS
(PLWHAs). To be eligible, applicants must meet the following re-
quirements: 1) Proposed project(s) must be implemented in one or
more of the following ten (10) President's Emergency Plan For
AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) countries: Cote d'Ivoire, Ethiopia, Guyana,
Haiti, Mozambique, Namibia, Nigeria, South Africa, Tanzania and
Zambia; 2) Primary applicants must be local, indigenous non-
governmental organizations (NGOs) implementing local, national
or regional HIV/AIDS activities.

To download the RFA, please refer to the Community REACH website
at: www.pactworld.org/reach. The RFA advises the eligibility and
qualifications of applicants, describes the program objectives,
explains the technical area of focus, and provides the criteria
for evaluating applications as well as the application format
and other relevant information. The awards will be administered
under the Pact Community REACH Program funded by USAID.

If you encounter troubles downloading the RFA, please contact
the Community REACH team at reachgrants@pacthq.org and a copy of
the RFA will be sent to you.

It is anticipated that the review will be held in two rounds,
the first being submission of a concept paper followed by invi-
tations to selected applicants for full applications. Concept
papers will be accepted until 12 August 2004. For additional in-
formation, contact the Community REACH team at
mailto:reachgrants@pacthq.org.

Community REACH is a five-year, USAID-funded program designed to
facilitate the efficient flow of grant funds to organizations
playing valuable roles in the fight against HIV/AIDS, including
PVOs, regional and local NGOs, universities and faith-based or-
ganizations. Funded activities will be consistent with USAID's
goal of "increased use of improved, effective and sustainable
responses to reduce HIV transmission and to mitigate the impact
of the HIV/AIDS pandemic."
