Opportunity Summary:

Building Human Resource Capacity within the Ministry of Health and Social Services in the Republic of Namibia Under PEPFAR is a U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) funding opportunity released under the Presidents Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR). The focus is on strengthening human resource capacity inside Namibias Ministry of Health and Social Services, with the broader intent of improving the countrys ability to plan, manage, and sustain HIV/AIDS-related programs in line with national priorities. The announcement frames the work as part of a larger CDC approach under the U.S. Global AIDS Coordinators leadership: CDC collaborates with host governments and partners to assess country needs and then shape technical and program support that fits the host nations own strategic plan and partnership framework, rather than operating as a standalone, externally driven project.

This opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number CDC RFA PS10-1096) is categorized as discretionary funding and will be awarded through a cooperative agreement, meaning the recipient would typically carry out program activities with substantial involvement from CDC in areas like technical direction, collaboration, and oversight. The activity area is health, specifically within the CFDA listing 93.067 (Global AIDS). The solicitation anticipated a single award (Expected Awards: 1), signaling that CDC likely intended to select one main implementing partner to support the Ministrys workforce-related strengthening at a national level, potentially coordinating with multiple stakeholders.

Funding levels were substantial. The announcement listed an estimated total funding amount of $62,857,270, with an award ceiling of $12,571,454 and no stated award floor. This structure suggests a multi-year initiative where annual or budget-period awards could be made up to the ceiling amount, within an overall projected total across the project period. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, which lowers the financial barrier for applicants and is typical of many federally funded global health cooperative agreements.

Eligibility was broad and included a wide range of domestic and non-domestic entities. Eligible applicants included public and private nonprofit organizations, for-profit organizations (including small, minority, and women-owned businesses), universities and colleges, research institutions, hospitals, community-based and faith-based organizations, and multiple categories of U.S. tribal organizations (including federally recognized tribes, Alaska Native tribal governments, and Tribal Epidemiology Centers). It also included state and local governments and their bona fide agents, as well as non-U.S. entities. For applicants applying as a bona fide agent for a state or local government, the notice required a formal letter documenting that status to be included with the application submission through Grants.gov. This wide eligibility pool indicates CDC was open to selecting an implementer with the right operational footprint and technical capacity, whether based in the U.S., Namibia, or elsewhere, provided they could credibly support the Ministrys workforce and systems needs.

Key administrative dates show this was a time-bound 2010 opportunity. It was posted January 15, 2010, created February 10, 2010, and had an original and final closing date of March 16, 2010, with an archive date of April 15, 2010. In other words, applicants had roughly two months from posting to prepare and submit applications, and the opportunity is no longer active.

For practical support, CDC provided a contact point for access issues with the full announcement: PGO TIMS Grants, reachable by phone at 770-488-2700 and via a general email address (not fully shown in the excerpt). Overall, the opportunity was designed to fund one major cooperative agreement aimed at building durable human resource capacity within Namibias health ministry under the PEPFAR platform, aligned with national planning and carried out with CDC collaboration.
