Opportunity Information: Apply for DOS NBO PCO FY21 002
The Kenya Community Grant Initiative (CGI) - Coordination Mechanism grant opportunity is a U.S. Department of State (U.S. Mission to Kenya) and PEPFAR Kenya Coordination Office funding notice designed to strengthen community-led monitoring (CLM) of HIV service quality at PEPFAR-supported sites in Kenya. The central idea is to formalize how patient and provider experiences are gathered, reviewed, and translated into practical improvements by bringing civil society and key HIV stakeholders into a structured, recurring decision-making forum. This opportunity specifically funds the establishment and operation of the CGI coordination mechanism, which is one of three interlinked CGI components intended to improve the quality and responsiveness of HIV services from the client perspective.
The CGI itself is structured around three components. First, the coordination mechanism (the focus of this NOFO) convenes major stakeholders to guide what information should be collected and how it will be used. Second, local civil society organizations will separately receive grants to routinely collect patient and provider feedback at PEPFAR sites, using questions and observational themes set by the coordination mechanism. Third, a sustainable web-based data platform will aggregate and visualize the feedback alongside other relevant sources, so that decision makers can see near real-time signals about service quality and client experience. While all three components are described for context, the award under this announcement is aimed at building the coordination function that steers and makes sense of the overall effort.
Geographically, the initial pilot phase is focused on three counties: Makueni, Kilifi, and Homabay. The broader objective is to support routine collection and use of patient- and provider-level insights about service quality across different county contexts (described as evolved, scale-up, and reboot categories). In practical terms, the coordination mechanism is expected to ensure that community-generated feedback reflects local realities in these counties, highlights barriers to access and retention, and surfaces enablers that can be strengthened or scaled.
A key feature of the coordination mechanism is its membership and collaborative role. It is intended to include representatives from the Government of Kenya, County Management Health Teams, NASCOP (National AIDS and STI Control Programme), U.S. Government/PEPFAR, the Global Fund, faith-based organizations, civil society organizations or NGOs, and the private sector. This group is expected to meet monthly to review client and provider feedback and triangulate it with other established performance and quality data sources used in PEPFAR programming, such as MER (Monitoring, Evaluation, and Reporting) data, SIMS (Site Improvement through Monitoring System) findings, and quality assessment and data quality processes (for example, SQAs and DQAs). The purpose of these regular reviews is to pinpoint persistent service delivery challenges at facility and community levels and to identify what is working well enough to replicate.
The coordination mechanism also has a defined responsibility for setting the “what” of data collection. It determines the survey questions and thematic areas based on the context of the pilot counties and the expressed concerns of community members. Examples include patient experience at facilities, barriers and enablers to accessing care, and issues affecting retention in services. An important boundary is that the information collected should add value rather than duplicate routine data PEPFAR already has, meaning the emphasis is on capturing lived experience, practical obstacles, and service quality dimensions that are often missed by standard reporting.
Another important detail is governance: the coordination mechanism is meant to guide and interpret the work, not manage or control the CSO grantees who will conduct the actual data collection under CGI component 2. Those grantees will administer the surveys and submit anonymized responses into a platform that supports both internal decision-making and public visibility. In parallel, the CGI platform component is described as aligning data collection with Kenya National Bureau of Statistics standards and U.S. Government expectations, supporting interoperability with other data sources and building CSO capacity to meet quality guidelines for citizen-generated data.
From an administrative standpoint, this opportunity was issued as a grant under an earmarked health funding category (CFDA 19.029) by the Department of State, U.S. Mission to Kenya. It anticipated a single award with a ceiling of $200,000. The funding notice was created on December 3, 2020, with an original closing date of January 1, 2021. Eligible applicants are listed broadly as “Others,” with additional eligibility details referenced in the full notice.
Overall, the grant is best understood as funding the backbone coordination and sense-making function for a broader community-led monitoring system. The intended result is a reliable monthly cycle where community and provider feedback is systematically gathered (by CSOs), made visible through an organized data platform, and jointly reviewed by government, civil society, and donors so that service quality gaps can be identified quickly, successful practices can be scaled, and barriers to HIV service uptake and retention can be addressed based on client-centered evidence.Apply for DOS NBO PCO FY21 002
