Opportunity Summary:
The Community-Based HIV Services for Southern Region (Maputo, Gaza and Inhambane) opportunity is a USAID/Mozambique funding call designed to support Mozambique's push toward HIV epidemic control by strengthening community-level HIV services in the southern provinces of Maputo, Gaza, and Inhambane. The activity is built around reaching people living with HIV (PLHIV) through targeted community interventions that directly advance the UNAIDS 90-90-90 goals, meaning expanded HIV diagnosis, improved linkage to and retention in treatment, and higher rates of viral suppression. In practice, this type of grant typically emphasizes services that meet people where they are, reduce barriers to care, and complement clinical services by improving follow-up and adherence support outside of health facilities.
This funding opportunity was issued by the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), specifically USAID-Maputo, under Funding Opportunity Number RFA 656 16 000006. It falls under the "Other" opportunity category and uses a Cooperative Agreement as the funding instrument. A cooperative agreement signals that USAID expects to be substantially involved during implementation, often through ongoing technical collaboration, review and approval of work plans, and close coordination on performance monitoring, learning, and adaptation. The activity is categorized under Health and is listed with CFDA Number 98.001, which is associated with USAID foreign assistance programs.
The solicitation was created on September 30, 2016, with an original closing date of November 15, 2016. USAID anticipated making a single award (Expected Awards: 1), with an award ceiling of USD 8,000,000. The single-award structure typically indicates the agency's intent to fund one lead implementer to coordinate a cohesive package of community HIV interventions across the specified southern region, rather than splitting implementation among multiple separate recipients.
Eligibility is listed broadly as "Others," with additional eligibility details referenced in the full solicitation text. In USAID announcements, this can include a range of potential applicants depending on the specific eligibility language, such as local and international non-governmental organizations, faith-based organizations, community-based organizations, and other qualified entities capable of delivering large-scale community health programming and coordinating with government and health system partners. The core focus of the opportunity remains clear: deliver community-based approaches that help identify PLHIV, connect them to services, and support sustained treatment and viral suppression, thereby contributing to national progress toward epidemic control in Mozambique's southern provinces.
