💡 Tips for applicants
- Frame all activities within the context of maintaining services during ongoing instability in Ukraine. Show how proposed work is feasible and sustainable.
- Emphasize community partnerships and social network strategies for case finding. Demonstrate reach to people at higher risk for HIV.
- Detail your differentiated service delivery models and how they improve retention and adherence. Specific metrics matter here.
- Connect HIV treatment to TB co-infection management. Show integration across these health priorities.
- Include realistic timelines and contingency plans. Acknowledge operational challenges and how you'll adapt services if conditions change.
⚠️ Common mistakes
Proposals that ignore the operating context fail. Applicants must demonstrate realistic understanding of instability and security concerns affecting service delivery. Vague activity descriptions without specific targets or metrics get rejected. Proposals must quantify expected reach and outcomes for each activity component.
