This open call for proposals invites community-based partners, medical institutions and non-governmental organisations (NGOs) to implement effective evidence-based approaches and interventions to reach new children and adolescents living with HIV (0-14) through testing and linking to anti-retroviral treatment and care in Malawi, Mozambique, South Africa, Tanzania and Nigeria.
Key information and how to apply
- As part of Aidsfonds Paediatric HIV Programme this call for proposals is to identify more children and adolescents living with HIV, age 0-14 years, through effective evidence-based approaches and interventions and link them to paediatric HIV treatment.
- The proposals must be largely focussed on case-identification and partly on health system strengthening in line with the Minimum Package of Care (annex 1 of the full call for proposals). The proposal presents biomedical data on specific paediatric HIV identification and treatment gaps in densely populated areas with high HIV prevalence among children and young adolescents.
- Organisations that can apply are duly registered as a national organisation and are community-based, non-governmental and non-profit organisations, with a track record of four to five years in paediatric HIV programming. Your organisations objectives, as reflected in your constitution are aligned with the objectives in this call. Your constitution reflects a sound governance structure.
- Application can be submitted by one community-based organisation or by a consortium with a lead applicant who is a community-based organisation and/or is part of a consortium with community-based organisations and medical institutions, non-governmental organizations and/or educational institutes such as universities and/or research institutes. Each organisation can only apply once as a lead.
- The total amount available under this call is EUR 2,775,000 for the period 1st of April 2026- 31st of December 2028. Proposed budgets vary between EUR 125.000 (Nigeria) and EUR 200.000 (Malawi, Tanzania, Mozambique, South Africa) per country per year. Aidsfonds anticipates funding 5 applications (one per country).
- Applications must be received by 30th January 2026 23.59 CET in English through the Aidsfonds good grants platform.
