Opportunity Summary:
The Bangladesh HIV AIDS Follow on Activity is a USAID/Bangladesh discretionary funding opportunity to support the next phase of the Bangladesh AIDS Program (Phase 2) through a Cooperative Agreement. The program is focused on strengthening HIV/AIDS prevention in Bangladesh by improving the availability, quality, and uptake of prevention, care, and treatment services, with a particular emphasis on most-at-risk populations (often referred to as MARPs). A central aim is not only to deliver services, but to ensure those services are high impact, consistently used, and sustained over time, while also reinforcing the national systems and leadership needed for an effective, evidence-based HIV response.
At the program level, USAID is looking for an implementing partner that can help drive an effective HIV/AIDS prevention strategy alongside a strengthened national response. This includes expanding and sustaining service utilization among MARPs and contributing to strategic leadership so the broader national HIV program is guided by data and evidence. In practical terms, the opportunity points to an approach that combines direct service delivery and support to national coordination, policy, and implementation capacity, so that prevention, care, and treatment efforts are not isolated projects but part of a coherent national effort.
This activity aligns with and supports the USAID Government of Bangladesh Health and Population Program, which is described as aiming to improve quality of life by expanding basic health services, strengthening national health systems, and addressing HIV/AIDS and other infectious diseases. The HIV activity is therefore positioned as part of a wider health systems and public health agenda, rather than a standalone disease-specific intervention.
In terms of funding and scale, USAID anticipates making a single award (Expected Awards: 1). The estimated total funding is listed at about $12,000,000, with an award floor of $12,000,000 and an award ceiling of $13,000,000, indicating USAID expected proposals to fall within a fairly narrow band around the approximately $13 million figure referenced in the narrative description. The period of performance is expected to be 51 months, which is a little over four years, suggesting a multi-year implementation effort intended to build momentum and sustainability rather than short-term outputs.
Eligibility is listed as unrestricted, meaning the opportunity is open to any type of entity, subject to any additional eligibility details that may have appeared in the full announcement. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, which typically lowers barriers to entry for applicants that may not have access to substantial non-federal funds.
Key administrative details include the Funding Opportunity Number USAID BANGLADESH 388 09 001 RFA, categorized under Health, with CFDA number 98.001 (USAID Foreign Assistance for Programs Overseas). The opportunity was posted February 26, 2009, with a creation date of April 1, 2009. The original closing date was April 8, 2009, later extended to April 21, 2009 at 2:00 pm Dhaka local time. The archive date is May 15, 2009. For applicants needing help accessing the full announcement, the listed contact is Rafiqul Islam, Senior Acquisition and Assistance Specialist at USAID Bangladesh, reachable by phone at (880 2) 8855500.
