This TBD solicitation will provide technical assistance support in the prevention area. Technical assistance services are specifically intended at strengthening capacity and delivery of services to reduce HIV incidence in selected high-prevalence districts in South Africa. This will be achieved through technical support to the South African Government (SAG) at national and selected provincial and district levels. Key interventions will be aimed at achieving adequate scale of coverage with best and promising practices, improving evidence-based sexual HIV prevention programs through the effective implementation of an appropriate combination package of interventions that address the key drivers of the epidemic in high-incidence areas with the populations most at risk to become the next new infection free population.

The level of focus will be the operational level where activities are carried out. Activities will be carried out

on multiple levels: 1) national; 2) selected provincial and district levels; and 3) targeting communities in the selected districts. The services provided under this Award will aim to achieve nation-wide impact on the HIV epidemic. While targeted support will be provided to the central level Department Health and Education (NDOH/DOE), South African National AIDS Council (SANAC) and other related government departments or partners key to the implementation of the prevention components of the National Strategic the primary focus of the activities will be at selected provincial, district and community levels.

National, provincial and district level investments are intended to complement and support activities at the community level, and are aimed at those aspects of the national health system that most directly sustain local sexual HIV prevention promotion and services.
