This grant from CDC Kenya aims to provide technical assistance in strengthening medical laboratory systems in Kenya for HIV, TB, and related diseases. Grant recipients will support specific regions in developing laboratory policies, sample handling, biosafety, and quality management systems. The grant also focuses on expanding access to quality laboratory services, implementing blood use practices, and improving biosafety measures. Key outcomes include increased access to HIV and TB tests, implementation of quality management systems, and enhancement of biosafety standards. Quarterly progress reports and evaluations will be conducted to track achievements and make necessary program improvements.

| Description: | The purpose of this funding opportunity announcement (FOA) is to provide technical assistance (TA) to the Government of Kenya (GOK) and PEPFAR implementing partners in strengthening medical laboratory systems for diagnosis, management, and surveillance of HIV, TB and other related opportunistic diseases. Up to five grantee will be selected. Each will work in one of four specific regions (A, B, C and D) covering several counties to support all technical areas described below in each region. Except, the grantee supporting Region A will additionally support laboratory systems at National Public Health Laboratory Services and Ministry of Health (MOH) headquarters. The grantee will: (1) Provide technical assistance to develop laboratory policies and systems for sample handling/processing, laboratory networking, information management, supplies management, human capacity development, biosafety, quality management systems (QMS), and monitoring and evaluation (M&E). Grantee will provide technical expertise and guidance in the expansion of access to quality laboratory services by strengthening, tiered laboratory networks, and specimen referral for CD4, HIV early infant diagnosis (EID), HIV viral load, opportunistic disease detection, TB culture, and HIV/TB drug resistance. (2) Provide technical expertise to implement appropriate blood use and haemovigilance at transfusing facilities through establishment of hospital transfusion committees. (3) Strengthen biosafety, infection control, occupational health and safety, and medical waste management. By the end of the project period, grantee are expected to achieve key outcomes such as: Increased access to quality HIV and TB laboratory tests. The detailed short-term, intermediate, and long-term outcomes are included in the logic model section for reference. Grantee will present activity progress reports and budget to the CDC Kenya team on a quarterly basis. Grantee will conduct mid and end-term reviews of their program. Process and outcomes evaluations will be conducted to assess achievement of goals and objectives of each of the four technical areas of this FOA. Findings of the evaluations will be disseminated and used for program improvement. |
