Strengthening Botswana's national data, performance management, and surveillance systems for a sustainable and government-led HIV, TB, and related public health response

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.
• Capacity building to sustainably manage data.
• System functionality, interoperability, and data use.

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:

• Transferring skills and management of technology systems to GOB so it can operate, maintain, and use current facility, community, and national data systems. 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.
• Strengthen the health security capacities of the GOB and relevant interest holders to surveil, respond to, and control public health events and disease outbreaks across all administrative levels.
