Opportunity Information: Apply for DOS KGN PCO FY21 001
The PEPFAR Small Grants opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number: DOS KGN PCO FY21 001) is a discretionary grant program offered by the U.S. Department of State through the U.S. Mission to Jamaica, specifically the PEPFAR Coordination Office (PCO) in Kingston. It is structured as a small grants Notice of Funding Opportunity under the Ambassadors Small Grants Program (ASG) umbrella and focuses on community development activities tied directly to strengthening HIV service delivery in Jamaica. In practical terms, the grant is meant to help local civil society play a direct role in improving how HIV treatment services feel and function for the people who use them.
The core purpose of the funding is to launch or support a Community-Led Monitoring (CLM) program, where people living with HIV (PLHIV) and community stakeholders assess and document what is happening at treatment facilities and use that information to push for real, on-the-ground improvements. The program is built around client-centered care: understanding patient experiences, identifying barriers that make it harder for clients to stay in treatment, and then using evidence from clients to drive corrective action. The main goals are to improve patient experiences and retention on HIV treatment, to address service barriers identified by PLHIV clients, and to ensure PLHIV perspectives and needs are placed at the center of HIV treatment planning and delivery.
Funding is limited, with the notice indicating an expectation of one award, and an award ceiling of up to $35,000. The opportunity is aimed at non-governmental organizations and other civil society entities (listed broadly as "Others," with eligibility clarified in the full notice). The larger policy context is PEPFAR, the U.S. government initiative that has invested in global HIV response efforts for years, and here the grant is positioned as part of PEPFARs wider objective of helping to end the HIV epidemic in Jamaica by improving the quality, responsiveness, and accountability of treatment services.
Applications were required to be submitted in English only, by email, to CaribbeanRegionalPCO-ASG@state.gov. The application deadline listed in the notice was November 20, 2020, with proposals reviewed afterward and results expected by December 16, 2020.Apply for DOS KGN PCO FY21 001
