USAID/Namibia's Key Populations - Strengthening Technical Assistance and Response for Sustainable HIV Prevention and Treatment (KP-STAR) Activity is a health-focused funding opportunity designed to reduce new HIV infections and lessen the overall impact of HIV among key populations in Namibia. The core idea behind the activity is to strengthen and sharpen the national response for populations that face higher HIV risk and significant barriers to prevention and treatment services, with an emphasis on approaches that are led by key population communities themselves. USAID frames the activity as a way to address persistent gaps and bottlenecks that limit the effectiveness of existing programs, even as Namibia has made notable progress in the broader HIV response.
The activity focuses on implementing a comprehensive, context-specific package of services aligned with Namibia's national guidelines and World Health Organization guidance for key population-led interventions. Rather than applying a one-size-fits-all model, the solicitation emphasizes tailoring services to the realities and needs of individuals and communities in Namibia. A major expectation is that programming will meaningfully involve key population communities, including key population-led organizations, and will connect clients to associated health services across both the private and public sectors. In practical terms, this points to a coordinated service delivery model that can link community-led outreach and demand creation with accessible clinical services, while also addressing the structural and operational barriers that often disrupt prevention and treatment engagement.
USAID highlights the importance of strategies that are systematic, coordinated, and data-driven, signaling that applicants are expected to use evidence and program data to identify where the response is breaking down and to target interventions accordingly. The activity is intended to support key population community-led efforts that can produce measurable reductions in HIV incidence, which implies strong expectations around performance monitoring, adaptive management, and the ability to demonstrate improvements along the prevention and treatment continuum. The overall direction is to support interventions that do not operate in isolation, but instead strengthen the broader HIV ecosystem serving key populations through better technical approaches, stronger coordination, and more effective linkages between community and clinical platforms.
This opportunity was issued by the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), with the listed agency office being USAID/Southern Africa (USAID-Pretoria). It was released as a discretionary funding opportunity under a Cooperative Agreement, meaning USAID anticipates substantial involvement during implementation rather than a hands-off grant structure. The Notice of Funding Opportunity number is 72067319RFA00002, and the opportunity falls under the health funding activity category, with CFDA number 98.001. USAID anticipated making a single award, with an award ceiling of up to USD 10,000,000.
Key dates included a creation/posting date of June 10, 2019, and an original application closing date of August 12, 2019, with submissions due by 11:00 AM Pretoria local time. USAID also planned a pre-application conference in Windhoek, Namibia on June 24, 2019, with the specific time and venue to be provided to registered attendees.
