The Grant funding under this Call for Proposals shall be provided under the following categories:
Category 1: Building capacity of the civil society organizations, in particular community-based organisations, in implementation of HIV services and programs
Category 2: Building capacity of the civil society organizations, in particular community-based organisations, in results-based program management and leadership
Category 3: Building capacity of the civil society organizations, in particular community-based organisations, in developing sustainable partnerships with government stakeholders and local partners
Grants may be awarded either for self-contained activities or for activities which are a component of a larger project.
