USAID/South Sudan, with resources from the President s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR), is seeking assistance for a 5-year activity to support children, adolescents, and their families living with HIV to improve health outcomes and reduce new infections among adolescent girls and young women (AGYW). This planned activity will be in Juba County. The activity is expected to result in mitigation of the impact of HIV, reduction in new HIV infections, and improved HIV clinical outcomes for those on HIV treatment among the target sub-populations. Subject to availability of funds, USAID intends to provide a total of $15 million for the activity duration. USAID also intends to award this activity to an implementing partner that can build the capacity of local organization(s) and position them to become a direct recipient(s).
