Opportunity Information: Apply for PZ CLM SCORECARD 2024
The PEPFAR Zambia CLM Scorecard 2024 grant opportunity is a small, targeted cooperative agreement from the U.S. Department of State, U.S. Mission to Zambia, aimed at strengthening community-led monitoring (CLM) of HIV services for key populations. Working in collaboration with Zambia's Ministry of Health (MOH) and the National HIV/AIDS/STI/TB Council (NAC), PEPFAR is seeking one key population-led civil society organization to design and implement a participatory "scorecard" that captures real-world experiences of key population clients when they seek HIV prevention and treatment services. The work is centered on Lusaka and Livingstone districts, with the expectation that a well-run pilot could later inform expansion to other districts using lessons learned and a harmonized approach.
At the core of the opportunity is the idea that key populations should not only receive services, but also help shape how services are measured and improved. PEPFAR defines a key population-led organization as one where the majority of leadership and/or decision-making staff identify as members or former members of the key population communities being served. The scorecard is meant to function as a structured, repeatable community feedback tool that gathers, analyzes, and presents information about the availability, accessibility, and quality of key population-friendly HIV services at MOH facilities. It is designed to surface barriers such as stigma, discrimination, unfriendly provider attitudes, confidentiality concerns, long waiting times, or gaps in prevention and treatment offerings, and then use those findings to drive practical improvements through collaborative discussion with facilities and stakeholders.
The program objectives align with broader epidemic-control targets, explicitly linking the work to progress toward the UNAIDS 95-95-95 goals by 2025. The scorecard approach is intended to document and help address the barriers that prevent key populations from accessing and staying in HIV prevention and treatment services. Importantly, the grant is not framed as a service delivery award; rather, it focuses on monitoring, feedback collection, joint review, and follow-up on actionable recommendations. Findings generated through the scorecard are expected to be shared at quarterly CLM meetings that include the Government of the Republic of Zambia (GRZ), relevant stakeholders, and U.S. Government implementing partners, creating a formal pathway for community voices to reach decision-makers and for facilities to be held accountable for improvement plans.
Applicants are expected to produce several concrete deliverables. These include demonstrating eligibility as a key population-led organization; developing the scorecard tool itself covering both HIV prevention and HIV treatment services; and proposing a set of indicators that can be used in the scorecard. The selected organization must also develop a detailed standard operating procedure (SOP) that explains exactly how the scorecard will be implemented at facility, district, and provincial levels, including which institutions, networks, and community structures will be engaged to reach key populations accessing MOH sites in Lusaka and Southern Province. The SOP is also expected to spell out how field teams will be supervised and supported technically to ensure respectful engagement with recipients of care, proper and consistent administration of the scorecard, and reliable reporting through monthly and quarterly updates over the life of the award.
Beyond tool development and implementation planning, the grantee is expected to map key population-friendly health facilities and services in Lusaka and Southern provinces, which supports both targeted monitoring and practical navigation for communities. The organization must also develop a plan to share findings and track the implementation of actionable recommendations, including feedback mechanisms back to health facilities through MOH channels. Finally, the award anticipates continued respectful national-level dialogue: in partnership with MOH, NAC, and PEPFAR implementing partners, the grantee should help translate scorecard learning into tangible best practices for key population service provision.
The award structure is straightforward and modest in size: one anticipated award with a ceiling of up to USD 50,000 (or the Kwacha equivalent), funded under FY2024/COP23 allocated funds. The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which typically means the funder expects ongoing collaboration and substantial involvement during implementation rather than a completely hands-off grant. The period of performance is 12 months, running from October 1, 2023 through September 30, 2024, and proposed activities must be completed by the end of that performance period. The opportunity was posted May 2, 2023 with an original closing date of June 30, 2023, and it is categorized under health (CFDA 19.029).
Eligibility is limited and specific. Applicants must be not-for-profit, key population-led civil society organizations registered with the Government of the Republic of Zambia. They must show they have successfully implemented similar work with at least USD 15,000 in prior funding, and must have had established offices for at least 12 months before submitting an application. The application must also include a support letter from the National Key Population Technical Working Group. The notice also notes that certain program types are not eligible for funding, with details provided in the full NOFO; in practice, this signals applicants should closely align proposed activities to CLM scorecard design, implementation, analysis, stakeholder engagement, and follow-up, rather than unrelated service expansion or activities outside the described monitoring purpose.Apply for PZ CLM SCORECARD 2024
