The Community REACH program was designed to address unmet need and

fill gaps across the entire HIV/AIDS prevention-to-care continuum

through solicited and unsolicited grants.

The three principle areas on which Community REACH grants focus are:

1. Prevention and education

2. Voluntary counseling and testing

3. Care and support for those living with and affected by HIV/AIDS

Community REACH acknowledges the interconnectedness among these three

areas and supports grants that allow for overlap and respond to real

needs at the community level. Community REACH's target population

varies by country and includes the most vulnerable groups in each

context.

Community REACH designs its RFAs to encourage innovative and

potentially replicable models that respond to the many different

facets of the HIV/AIDS pandemic.

In its first two years, the program's geographic scope followed the

USAID Expanded Response emphasis in 20 plus rapid scale-up and

intensive focus countries. Following the start of the President's

Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) and the increasing level of

funding available in the now 15 focus countries, Community REACH

narrowed its scope to ten countries with considerable epidemics that

are not among these fifteen.
