Unitaid is soliciting proposals that aim to catalyze the integration of HCV prevention and treatment in community harm reduction settings and prisons and that demonstrate a person-centered approach to the prevention of HCV for some of the most marginalized people, thereby reducing HCV incidence and prevalence and contributing to achieving the global targets for HCV elimination.

Through this Call for Proposals, Unitaid aims to catalyze HCV prevention among key populations in the following ways:

  • Make innovative and/or under-used tools for the prevention of HCV more widely available as an option for key populations,
  • Catalyze the integration of HCV prevention (incl. testing and treatment) in harm reduction settings and prisons,
  • Reduce HCV transmission among some of the most marginalized and vulnerable people,
  • Facilitate the expansion of integrated HCV prevention services for key populations in countries.

The closing date for receipt of full proposals is Thursday 31 March 2022 at 12:00 (noon) CET. Applications received past the indicated deadline will not be considered.
