The Department of Health and Human Services' Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is offering a 5-year cooperative agreement to sustain HIV and TB epidemic control in Lesotho through health system strengthening and technical assistance under the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR).

Key activities include HIV/TB case finding, care and treatment, prevention, integration of non-communicable disease management, laboratory systems support, and surveillance. Applicants must provide evidence-based interventions, strengthen district health management and facilities, and promote person-centered service delivery. Applications are due February 20, 2025, and a funding preference is available for local partners.
The anticipated Year 1 funding is $15 million, with one award expected to begin on September 30, 2025. The program will focus on the Leribe, Berea, Quthing, and Qacha's Nek districts of Lesotho, working closely with the country's Ministry of Health to build sustainable health system capacity and achieve epidemic control.
