##   Strengthening Access to High Quality and Comprehensive Services Targeting Adolescent and Young People in Malawi through Determined, Resilient, AIDS-Free Mentored and Safe (DREAMS) Program under the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR)

08/03/2021

//

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. The Determined, Resilient, Empowered, AIDS-free, Mentored and Safe (DREAMS) initiative implemented in 15 countries including Malawi aims at reducing new HIV infections among adolescent girls and young women (AGYW) aged 10-24 years. AGYW face an increased vulnerability for HIV acquisition when compared to their peers, globally, young women aged 15-24 are two to 14 times as likely to acquire HIV than males of the same age. In Malawi, HIV incidences are eight times higher among females aged 15-24 years than their male counterparts. DREAMS is delivered through a comprehensive package of evidence-based strategies that go beyond the health sector, addressing structural drivers that fuel AGYW’s HIV risk, including poverty, gender inequality, sexual violence, social isolation, and limited schooling. DREAMS is based on evidence-based interventions and builds on the premise that multiple interventions targeting AGYW are more impactful than providing a single intervention when multiple factors of vulnerability are present. In addition to focusing on interventions to empower AGYW to reduce their risk of HIV, the DREAMS package also aims to strengthen families, prevent violence, reduce HIV risk for male sexual partners and mobilize communities for change. The DREAMS program in Malawi is implemented in three districts: Zomba, Machinga and Blantyre. The recipient will provide a comprehensive package of DREAMS in Blantyre district and any additional districts based on COP scale up plans.

##   Tribal Maternal, Infant, and Early Childhood Home Visiting Program: Development and Implementation Grants

09/03/2021

//

The Office of Child Care within the Administration for Children and Families will be soliciting applications for the Fiscal Year 2022 Tribal Maternal, Infant, and Early Childhood Home Visiting Grant Program: Development and Implementation Grants. Funds will support 63-month grants (cooperative agreements) between ACF and federally-recognized Indian tribes (or a consortium of Indian tribes), tribal organizations, or urban Indian organizations to: conduct community needs assessments; develop the infrastructure needed for widespread planning, adopting, implementing, expanding, enhancing, and sustaining of evidence-based maternal, infant, and early childhood home visiting programs; and provide high-quality evidence-based home visiting services to pregnant women and families with young children aged birth to kindergarten entry. Home visiting programs are intended to promote outcomes such as improved maternal and prenatal health, infant health, and child health and development; reduced child maltreatment; improved parenting practices related to child development outcomes; improved school readiness; improved family socio-economic status; improved coordination of referrals to community resources and supports; and reduced incidence of injuries, crime, and domestic violence. The goals of the Tribal Home Visiting program are to support healthy, happy, successful American Indian and Alaska Native (AIAN) children and families through a coordinated, high-quality, evidence-based home visiting strategy, and to continue to build the evidence base for home visiting in tribal communities. The Administration for Children and Families (ACF) and the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), the agencies collaborating to implement the Tribal Home Visiting program within the Department of Health and Human Services, also intend for the program to result in a coordinated system of early childhood home visiting in tribal communities that has the capacity to provide infrastructure and supports to assure high-quality, evidence-based practice. This funding is intended for tribal entities that do not have prior experience with implementing evidence-based home visiting models, performance measurement systems, and evaluation activities.
