[Program Announcement 04183]
Rapid Expansion of the Capacity of the Cote d'Ivoire Ministry of
Solidarity, Security, Social Affairs and Disabled Persons To Coordinate
and Improve the Coverage and Quality of Care and Support Activities for
Orphans, Vulnerable Children and Other HIV-Affected Persons and
Families Under the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief; Notice
of Intent To Fund Single Eligibility Award
A. Purpose
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) announces the
intent to fund fiscal year (FY) 2004 funds for a cooperative agreement
program to help the Ministry of Solidarity, Security, Social Affairs,
and Disable Persons (MSSSH) of Cote d'Ivoire to rapidly expand their
capacity to coordinate expanded quality HIV/AIDS prevention, care and
support activities for particularly vulnerable segments of the
population, such as orphans and other vulnerable children, and HIV-
affected persons and families. MSSSH will be better able to facilitate
the vulnerable populations' access to information and quality support
services. This program also directly addresses goals of the President's
Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief to turn the tide of HIV/AIDS in Africa
and the Caribbean. The Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance number
for this program is 93.941.
B. Eligible Applicant
Assistance will be provided only to The Ministry of Solidarity,
Security, Social Affairs, and Disabled Persons (MSSSH) of Cote
d'Ivoire. This Ministry is mandated by the government of Cote d'Ivoire
to coordinate activities for the target groups named in this
announcement (i.e., orphans, vulnerable children, HIV-affected
families, and social workers) and is, therefore, the most direct route
to reaching these populations with information, services and training
for HIV/AIDS prevention, care and support.
C. Funding
Approximately $200,000 is available in FY 2004 to fund this award.
It is expected that the award will begin on or before August 1, 2004,
and will be made for a 12-month budget period within a project period
of up to 5 years. Funding estimates may change.
