The United States Agency for International Development (USAID) Uganda is seeking applications to fund one or more organizations through a five-year Cooperative Agreement to enable more than 600,000 Ugandan children, youth and their caregivers, particularly HIV affected children and youth in Central and
Western Regions, to access core services for improving health, nutrition, food security, education, and psychosocial well-being and to prevent, and respond to child abuse, exploitation and neglect.The activity will achieve this purpose by looking at most promising international practices and providing carefully conceived, well-designed measures for building the capacity of children and youth, families, communities and government systems.
The activity will further strengthen linkages between clinical and community-based socio-economic services in Central and Western Regions to provide better coordinated, regionalized support, particularly for very young children and youth, at the most local level.
