Opportunity Summary:
Projecto de Angolanizacao (RFI 654 16 000001) is a USAID Southern Africa health-related request for information focused on strengthening Angola's malaria and HIV/AIDS response through a mix of service delivery and system capacity building. The opportunity is framed specifically as an RFI, meaning it is an information-gathering step rather than a funded solicitation. USAID makes clear that submissions are not binding on the U.S. Government, do not guarantee that a future Request for Applications will be issued, and do not entitle respondents to reimbursement for any costs associated with preparing or submitting input.
Substantively, the intervention described centers on providing comprehensive support to both community-based and facility-based services for malaria and HIV/AIDS. That includes improving the availability and quality of prevention, testing, treatment, and related support services at health facilities, while also reinforcing outreach and community-level activities that help link people to care and sustain adherence and prevention behaviors. A core component is capacity building, with an emphasis on strengthening the ability of local actors and systems to plan, manage, and deliver these services effectively over time.
The program also highlights collaborative partnership with municipal and provincial authorities, aligning implementation with Angola's national strategic plans for malaria and HIV/AIDS. This suggests a strong intent to work through or alongside subnational government structures to improve coordination, local ownership, and operational effectiveness, rather than running parallel systems. Another explicit priority is impact-driven targeting: USAID intends to focus resources on the regions with the greatest disease burden to maximize the results of U.S. Government health assistance.
At the strategic level, the overall objective is to support USAID's mission-level development goals by contributing to two complementary outcomes: improved health status and wellbeing of the population, and strengthened responsiveness of systems and institutions to citizen needs. In other words, the opportunity is not only about delivering disease-specific services, but also about improving how health services are managed and how well they respond to communities.
Administratively, the listing is categorized as a discretionary opportunity with an "Other" funding instrument type under the Health funding activity category, associated with CFDA 98.001. Eligibility is described as unrestricted (open to any type of entity), subject to any additional eligibility details that may be provided in the full notice. The posting and creation dates are January 28, 2016, with a closing date of February 19, 2016. The notice indicates an expected number of awards as one, while the award ceiling is listed as 0, which commonly appears in RFIs because they are not commitments to make an award and may not specify funding amounts at that stage.
