Ho Chi Minh City HIV / Aids Association

Ho Chi Minh City HIV / Aids Association is a non-profit organization registered to receive awards from the U.S. federal government. The association primarily provides community-led monitoring services for HIV/AIDS programs in Vietnam, specifically in the Ho Chi Minh City metropolitan region. As a key partner in the U.S. President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) Programs, the organization plays a crucial role in monitoring and evaluating the implementation and outcomes of HIV/AIDS treatment, care, and prevention services. The association's work contributes to enhancing the effectiveness of global HIV/AIDS relief efforts in Vietnam by providing critical insights to the U.S. government.

Since 2021, Ho Chi Minh City HIV / Aids Association has consistently received project grants from the U.S. Department of State's Bureau of East Asian and Pacific Affairs under CFDA 19.029 - The U.S. President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) Programs. These grants, ranging from approximately $120,000 to $200,000, have supported the implementation of community-led monitoring projects in the PEPFAR program within the Ho Chi Minh City metro region. The association's work typically spans 9-10 month periods, focusing on monitoring PEPFAR programming at the community level. This involves assessing the delivery and effectiveness of HIV/AIDS treatment, care, and prevention services, ensuring they meet community needs and align with PEPFAR's global objectives. By providing these monitoring services, the association helps the U.S. government coordinate and oversee its global response to HIV/AIDS in Vietnam, contributing to the broader goal of assisting countries heavily impacted by the epidemic.
