Opportunity Information: Apply for 72052122RFA00008
The Sustaining Impact for Youth grant opportunity is a USAID/Haiti initiative designed to strengthen Haiti's continuum of care for orphans and vulnerable children (OVC) in the context of HIV. The core idea is to bring health services and social support together in a more coordinated way, so that children and families affected by HIV are not treated through isolated programs. Instead, the activity aims to integrate clinical HIV-related services, including Early Infant Diagnosis (EID) for HIV-exposed infants, with comprehensive case management and prevention programming that addresses the broader conditions putting children at risk.
A major focus is improving outcomes for multiple groups of vulnerable children: children living with HIV, children affected by HIV within their household, and children who face elevated risk due to specific circumstances. The opportunity explicitly includes children of female sex workers, children of prisoners, and children who have survived sexual violence, reflecting an intent to reach populations that often fall through the cracks of conventional service delivery. By explicitly naming these groups, the activity signals that implementers are expected to build targeted approaches and referral pathways that can safely identify, engage, and support children and families experiencing stigma, trauma, or social exclusion.
The program is structured as a five-year activity with a total award ceiling of $30,000,000, and USAID anticipates making a single award. Funding is offered as a cooperative agreement, which typically means substantial involvement by the agency in shaping implementation, oversight, and coordination, rather than a hands-off grant model. The work falls under the health category and aligns with CFDA 98.001. The opportunity is listed as a continuation, indicating it likely builds on or extends prior USAID investments and existing service platforms in Haiti rather than launching an entirely new standalone effort.
In terms of what the activity will deliver, it is oriented toward improving health and wellbeing outcomes for OVC and their families through services spanning four main domains: health, safety, stability, and education. Health includes HIV-related care for HIV-positive children and adolescents and supportive services for HIV-affected households, with EID highlighted as a key component for infants exposed to HIV. Safety and stability point to child protection and household resilience elements that are often essential for adherence to treatment and long-term wellbeing, such as responding to violence, exploitation, neglect, or acute household stressors. Education support is included as part of a broader wellbeing package, reflecting the role of school engagement in protective outcomes for vulnerable children and adolescents.
A defining objective of the activity is to support Haiti's broader goal of HIV epidemic control, with particular emphasis on children and adolescents living with HIV (C/ALHIV). This implies the activity is expected to contribute to improved identification, linkage to care, retention, and viral suppression among pediatric and adolescent populations, while also reducing risk and preventing new infections among vulnerable children and families. Overall, the opportunity describes a comprehensive, integrated service model that combines clinical HIV services with structured case management and prevention to address both immediate health needs and the underlying social factors that shape risk and long-term outcomes.
Administratively, the opportunity was released by the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), Haiti, via USAID Port-au-Prince. It was created on October 6, 2022, with an original closing date of November 7, 2022.

Are any specific high-risk groups explicitly included?
Yes. The opportunity explicitly includes children of female sex workers, children of prisoners, and children who have survived sexual violence.

What does "integrated" service delivery mean in this opportunity?
