Program description
The Award Ceiling for Year 1 is 0 (none). CDC anticipates an Approximate Total Fiscal Year Funding amount of $4,000,000 for Year 1, subject to the availability of funds.
This NOFO aims to provide targeted strategic assistance to the Government of Botswana (GOB) to strengthen health security and national data systems. It focuses on:
- Governance and policies.

You are expected to support the GOB to help ensure that comprehensive, quality HIV-related strategic information and health security systems operate effectively at the site, district, and national levels. Your activities should include:

These systems include any paper and electronic record systems necessary to manage patients and monitor programs that deliver lifesaving HIV and TB care, treatment, and targeted prevention services.
- Transferring skills and technology related to existing country data systems to GOB. This includes systems that ensure routine program monitoring, oversight, compliance, and reporting. This also includes enhancing workforce knowledge and skills to operate, maintain, and secure the systems and analyze data.
