USAID THRIVE PRE-APPLICATION CONFERENCE (Funding Opportunity No. 720620NOTICE240002) is a USAID/Nigeria (USAID-Abuja) notice tied to an upcoming or associated assistance opportunity in the health sector. The overall purpose of the USAID THRIVE activity is to help Nigeria move toward sustained epidemic control by strengthening the health and wellbeing of children affected by HIV and by reducing new HIV infections among vulnerable children, adolescents, and their caregivers. In practical terms, the activity is designed around the idea that pediatric and adolescent HIV outcomes are shaped not only by clinical care, but also by overlapping social, economic, and protection-related risks that can undermine prevention, treatment adherence, and long-term wellbeing.

The program focus is comprehensive and resilience-oriented. THRIVE is expected to deliver a suite of coordinated services that address multiple, layered vulnerabilities at the same time, rather than treating HIV risk or HIV care as isolated issues. While the notice does not list each service line in detail, the description signals an integrated model that can reasonably include linkages between HIV testing and treatment services, prevention support, psychosocial services, child protection mechanisms, referrals for sexual violence response, and broader family or caregiver support that helps stabilize households and improve health outcomes for children and adolescents.

The target groups are clearly defined and include several pediatric and adolescent sub-populations that often face the highest barriers to consistent care and protection. These groups include children and adolescents living with HIV (CALHIV), children whose caregivers are living with HIV (CPLHIV), HIV-exposed infants (HEI), and children of key populations (CKP). The scope also explicitly includes survivors of sexual violence against children (SVAC), as well as high-risk adolescent boys and girls, including those who are out of school. This framing highlights a dual emphasis: improving outcomes for those already affected by HIV (especially children and adolescents living with HIV and HIV-exposed infants) and preventing HIV acquisition among vulnerable youth and children facing heightened risk factors.

The eligible applicant pool is oriented toward Nigerian health and social welfare organizations, reflecting an intent to work through local institutions that are positioned to deliver or coordinate community- and facility-linked services. The opportunity is categorized as "Other" and uses a Cooperative Agreement instrument, which typically means the funder expects substantial involvement during implementation, such as ongoing technical engagement, collaboration on work planning, and performance oversight. The activity category is Health, and the listing references CFDA 98.001, which is commonly associated with USAID foreign assistance programs.

On the funding side, the notice lists an award ceiling of USD 60,000,000 and anticipates up to 2 awards. This suggests a relatively large, multi-partner activity structure, potentially designed to cover multiple geographies, populations, or service delivery components at scale. The original closing date shown is 2024-05-12, and the record indicates it was created on 2024-05-06, signaling a tight window associated with the conference notice and related pre-application engagement.

Overall, this notice communicates USAID/Nigeria's intent to support a major, integrated pediatric and adolescent HIV resilience activity that addresses both clinical and socio-protective needs. Organizations considering participation would likely need strong capabilities in HIV service delivery and referral networks, experience working with vulnerable children and adolescents (including out-of-school youth), and established approaches for safeguarding and responding to sexual violence against children, all while coordinating across health and social welfare systems to reduce risk and improve long-term outcomes.
