Re‐advertisement‐comments from 6 Nov included
SUB‐SUB IMPLEMENTER (SSI) – HIV/AIDS grant implementation January 2018 to December 2020
Application process
All interested organizations are requested to follow a two‐step application process: 1. Attendance of the Information Briefing on 3.00pm Monday 6th November 2017 at the NAA
2. Submission of the detailed application format to the CCC by 5pm Friday 24th November 2017
The Country Coordinating Committee (CCC) in Cambodia was established in February 2002 to coordinate and support the development, implementation and management of grants supplied by The Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria (GFATM). The CCC is responsible for submitting proposals to The Global Fund, nominating the organisations accountable for administering the funding, and oversight of grant implementation.
The CCC invites Expressions of Interest from organisations and institutions in Cambodia who wish to be considered as Sub‐Sub Implementer (SSI) for the upcoming
HIV/AIDS grant under the GFATM Funding Request
The CCC will review applications in order to select a limited number of SSI to manage their allocated funds in order to implement an integrated package of interventions
The Ministry of Economy and Finance (MEF) as Principle Recipient (PR) will manage the HIV grant, with delegation to the Ministry of Health (MOH) as Lead Implementer (LI). The National Centre for HIV/AIDS, Dermatology and STD (NCHADS) has been assigned as Sub‐Implementer (SI), and several Sub‐Sub Implementers (SSI) will be selected to work across different target populations. Implementation of grant activities will have an emphasis on shared responsibility between the central, provincial and operational district levels, and on strong partnerships between Government, NGO, civil society, community groups and multilateral/bilateral partners. The MOH Lead Implementer team (LIT) will be responsible for validating programmatic aspects of the Program Update & Disbursement Request (PUDR) report. MEF‐PR will validate the financial components, and ensure both financial and programmatic components are compiled into a completed PUDR report, and forwarded on schedule to the GFATM twice per year.
The GFATM Funding Request must be referenced in your application
It is available from the CCC Secretariat along with the strategic plans supporting the request [email protected]
other reference materials are detailed at the end of this document
All selected SSI will have to coordinate closely with the national program and the institutions that oversee the strategic framework and implementation of their strategic plans.

NOTE:
The selection for all interested non‐government organisations will follow an open, transparent and competitive process. However, all government agencies involved with the HIV response have been allocated earmarked funds and are not required to make a request under this grant.
Funds have also been specifically earmarked in 2018 for three organisations within HIV grant: AIDS Healthcare Foundation (AHF); Center of HOPE; Chhouk Sar clinic. Chhouk Sar clinic has also been assured funding for one additional year (2019)
Their allocation has been approved in advance in consultation with GFATM for a transition period to allow these organisations time to secure alternative funding sources beyond 2018‐19. Therefore, these three organisations are not required to make a request for funding under this grant.
Section 1 Background Information Epidemiological Overview Cambodia is poised to become one of the first low‐middle‐income countries to achieve the global targets of 90‐90‐90 by 2020 and virtual elimination of HIV transmission by 2025. In 2016 HIV prevalence among the general adult population (aged 15 to 49)was estimated to be 0.6% (6 in 1,000). Modeling by the Spectrum/AIDS Epidemic Model (AEM) predicted there were around 713 newly acquired infections in 2016, resulting in a total of 70,498 people living with HIV (PLHIV) and with 1,807 deaths attributable to HIV and AIDS in that year. While Cambodia has very high treatment rates of diagnosed PLHIV the estimated total number of PLHIV, would indicate there remains approximately 10,000‐12,000 PLHIV who are not yet diagnosed or identified – this number includes new incident cases as well as PLHIV who may have been infected many years previously but have remained undiagnosed. In addition, a review of Boosted‐Interactive Case Management (B‐IACM) data from fourteen provinces in 2016 showed that nearly 70% of newly diagnosed cases did not identify as coming from a designated Key Population group (KP). Taking into account the budgetary limitations for the period 2018‐2020 the strategy for KP prevention activities is to maintain coverage of outreach services for an estimated 80% of all KP (MSM/TG/FEW) in Cambodia, and to develop further strategies to deliver prevention and HTS options to risk groups in the general population other than those identifying as KP. Case Profiling (2018) managed by USG‐PEPFAR in consultation with NCHADS will supply further information to help develop measures to best target these new risk groups B‐IACM in conjunction with Community Action approaches will be use this evidence to increase case finding and improve access to treatment for these risk groups in the general population. Prevention and HIV Testing Services Based on current evidence a new strategy for outreach services will be in place for the duration of this grant. (Please refer to Pg.3) Prevention and HIV Testing Services (HTS) will maintain a focus on at‐risk Key Populations (FEW, MSM, TG and PWID) and HTS will also remain available through the public health system. As a result of the above epidemiological data, in 2018‐2020 there will be better targeting of direct outreach services for KP (MSM/TG/FEW), and threshold limits will apply to
3 of 18
the estimated number of KP to identify target provinces where direct outreach should be implemented. Coverage with full outreach services should average at least 80% of the national populations for MSM/TG/FEW. Direct outreach will be complemented through the use of virtual outreach as well as the introduction of PDI+ among MSM & TG. Outreach Workers will be engaged on a full time basis. While their caseloads have increased, outreach frequency has generally decreased (excluding PWID) and salaries have more than doubled. Virtual outreach for example is also expected to be part of communication strategies developed in consultation with NCHADS that may incorporate targeted social media and/or advertising. For this reason the management costs for the prevention package for KP (MSM/TG, or FEW) has been budgeted to include salary for one full time Communication Officer responsible for developing and coordinating virtual outreach services for all KP groups in consultation with NCHADS. Key Populations The following groups will continue to be defined in Cambodia as Key Populations which are fully described in the SOP for Boosted Continuum of Prevention, Care and Support (B‐COPCT). Although relatively low in number these groups have a higher prevalence of HIV infection compared to the general population, with risk behaviors increasing both the likelihood and opportunity for HIV transmission. ● People who inject drugs (PWID) Results from the Integrated Behavioral and Biological Survey
2011 (IBBS) suggest that 24.8% of estimated 1,300 PWID in Cambodia are living with HIV. PWID are located primarily in urban areas, with approximately 84% living in the capital city, Phnom Penh. While the estimated population size is relatively small, the high HIV prevalence among this group combined with the high risk of HIV transmission through sharing of injecting equipment, overlapping risk of selling sex and the difficulty of reaching this population suggests this group may be a risk for continued HIV transmission.
● Female Entertainment workers (FEW) There are an estimated 34,000 female entertainment
workers (FEW) who are at risk of HIV infection. An IBBS conducted in 2016 among FEW in 18 provinces estimated HIV prevalence among this population at 3.2%. Prevalence is highest among FEW living in Phnom Penh (4.0%), Battambang (3.7%) and Banteay Meanchey (3.1%). Risk of HIV infection increases with age. Prevalence among FEW aged 18 to 20 years old is estimated at 0.1% and at 12.5% for FEW aged 34 to 49 years old. Freelance sex workers are at greater risk of HIV infection (prevalence 11.9%) compared with other FEW such as beer promotion women (2.4%), former brothel‐based sex workers (1.9%) and karaoke workers/masseuses (1.2%). Rates of condom use with paid partners are high, with over 90% of FEW reporting using a condom with a client during their last paid sex.
● Men who have Sex with Men (MSM) In 2014, there were an estimated 30,891 MSM in Cambodia
‐ of whom 20,000 are considered reachable and at‐risk ‐ with some 52% living in urban areas. HIV prevalence among MSM is estimated at 2.3%. HIV prevalence is higher among MSM aged 24 year or older (4.6%) and those with low formal education (4.5%), compared with comparison groups. MSM surveyed in Siem Reap and Phnom Penh had the highest HIV prevalence (5.9% and 3.0%, respectively).
● Transgender (TG) In 2016, an IBBS was conducted among transgender women (TG) in 12
provinces and the capital city. Overall HIV prevalence among TG in this study was 5.9% with significant differences between provinces. Banteay Meanchey (11.7%) and Siem Reap (11.3%) provinces had the highest prevalence rates, followed by Phnom Penh (6.5%) and Battambang province (5.3%). TG in urban areas (6.5%) and the age group of 35‐44 years old (13.1%) had a

Salaries are available for 212 outreach staff. The allocation breakdown for Northern zone (10 provinces) versus Southern zone (8 provinces) is based on estimated KP population size, and OW numbers based on caseload. The OW numbers have been rounded up per province (shown in the above table). Transcription error has been corrected changes are in RED. There has been no change to the dollar allocation per zone. Staffing for outreach is 41% vs. 59% per zone, however due to more provincial offices (x2) and expected increased cost for travel in the Northern zone, the percentage allocation of the available budget continues to be set at 45% and 55%.

CAC and CAW will also conduct index case finding and Partner Notification Testing and Tracking (PNTT) when HIV positive cases are identified (with respect of confidentiality). Relevant events and/or locations for offering confidential finger‐prick HTS through community outreach to targeted general populations will be organized in collaboration with local NGOs working in the area. The role of Adolescent Case Workers (ACW) is described in the Community Action framework. Additional CAW will be assigned this role in the majority of pediatric ART sites (31/41) to support adolescent PLHIV consistent with the HIV Clinical Guidelines for Adults and Adolescents (Aug 2016).
CSO staff will be located at all ART sites with staff numbers linked to the caseload of PLHIV in ‘Greatest Need’ at each site
Roughly 20% of the PLHIV caseloads are estimated to be in ‘Greatest Need’
PLHIV in Greatest Need are defined as those who:
Are not stable according to WHO criteria4 for stability
Rapidly growing children (0‐5 year‐old) Adolescents
