USAID South Africa NGO Grants for Tuberculosis Projects

The United States Agency for International Development (USAID) Tuberculosis South Africa Project provides support and technical assistance to the Government of South Africa aimed at contributing to national efforts to reduce the burden of tuberculosis (TB) in the country.

The USAID TB South Africa Project works closely with national and provincial partners to identify and close gaps to improve TB management and further develop sustainable systems for long-term improvements in TB and drug-resistant TB (DR-TB) diagnosis, care and treatment services.

This Request for Applications (RFAs) has issued as the first step to selecting potential grantees through a competitive process to implement interventions that strengthen efforts aimed at reducing TB infections in South Africa.

The project is aligned to the South Africa National Strategic Plan (NSP) on HIV, TB and Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs) 2017-2022 and is in accordance with the End TB Strategy of the World Health Organization (WHO) and with the United States Government’s Global TB Strategy (2015-2019).

The overall project objectives are to:

Reduce TB infections;

Increase the sustainability of effective TB response systems; and

Improve care and treatment of vulnerable populations.

To assist the USAID TB South Africa Project to fulfill its mandate, several small grants will be awarded to South African organizations in compliance with USAID regulations.

Selected local NGOs will implement a standardized package of care including

(i) TB case detection,

(ii) active case finding,

(iii) follow up of TB cases lost to follow up

(iv)provision of daily directly observed therapy (DOT) support

(vi) contact management,

(vii) prevention of MDR-TB, integration of TB

(viii)TB/HIV services,

(ix)establishment of public-private partnerships (PPP), as well as

(x) implementation of advocacy, communication and social mobilization activities.
