# SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

These sole source award(s) will achieve and sustain HIV/TB epidemic control through sustainable high-quality comprehensive HIV prevention and treatment services, health service delivery models, and health systems in Kenya, Mozambique and West Africa-Senegal.

Kisumu County Government-Department of Health Service is in a unique position to conduct this work as the 2010 Kenyan constitution prescribed roles for the county governments, whereby each county is responsible for provision of health care services to its residents. Accordingly, in this devolution of health service delivery to the county level, Kisumu County Department of Health Service has the sole mandate to manage the public health response to HIV/AIDS in the county. Another county government is not allowed to implement services within Kisumu County.

Serviços Provincial de Saúde Gaza is in a unique position to conduct this work given that the Serviços Provincial de Saúde in Mozambique are government organizations established by law and mandated to plan, coordinate, and supervise all health-related activities at the tertiary and secondary level, including HIV/AIDS activities, within their provincial jurisdiction. The Serviços Provincial de Saúde is the Provincial Agency of the State Apparatus, which according to the principles, objectives, and tasks defined by the Government of Mozambique directs and ensures the execution of health activities at the provincial level.

Serviços Provincial de Saude Nampula is in a unique position to conduct this work as it is the dedicated government entity delegated by Mozambican Government which oversees the health portfolio including HIV and TB services in the province of Nampula. In Mozambique, the governmental public health infrastructure is organized into the central or national entity (Ministry of Health or the Provincial Health Directorates) that implement activities at the primary healthcare level, and the Provincial Health Service (Serviços Provincial de Saude), that lead all health services within the province.

MHSA is in a unique position to conduct this work, as it is responsible for administrating government-provided health services and implementing national government policies on health care and public health in Senegal. The MHSA is the only entity authorized by the government of Senegal to provide and manage comprehensive health services within the country in accordance with approved national policies.
