Opportunity Summary:
This funding opportunity (CDC RFA GH11-1122) is a CDC discretionary cooperative agreement under CFDA 93.067 (Global AIDS) focused on strengthening the ability of provincial-level Zambian government health institutions to lead and sustain comprehensive HIV/AIDS services. The central aim is to build the operational, clinical, and managerial capacity of the Provincial Health Offices in three priority provinces Eastern, Lusaka, and Western so they can more independently deliver HIV prevention, care, support, and treatment services. The program is designed as a continuation and maturation of HIV clinical services and antiretroviral treatment work that began in 2004 through PEPFAR-supported HHS/CDC and HHS/HRSA initiatives, with a clear emphasis on shifting those historically US government-supported activities into host-country ownership over time.
A major theme of the announcement is transition and sustainability. Rather than only expanding service delivery in the short term, the award is intended to help embed HIV program leadership within existing Zambian government systems and facilities, so that planning, supervision, and ongoing service quality can be maintained locally. This includes strengthening the provincial structures that manage HIV programs, improving how services are delivered within current health facilities, and scaling up appropriately to additional sites during the project period. In practical terms, the opportunity supports the idea that long-term HIV impact depends on stable local institutions that can manage human resources, commodities and supply chains, clinical oversight, data systems, and program coordination without relying indefinitely on external implementers.
The eligible applicants are narrowly defined and limited to three entities: the Lusaka Provincial Health Office (LPHO), the Eastern Provincial Health Office (EPHO), and the Western Provincial Health Office (WPHO). No other applicants are eligible, which underscores that the funding is meant to go directly to Zambian government institutions at the provincial level, not to NGOs, universities, or private organizations. The anticipated number of awards is three, which aligns with the three eligible provincial offices and suggests a separate award to each province to support province-specific implementation and capacity building.
From a funding and administrative standpoint, the mechanism is a cooperative agreement, meaning CDC would expect to have substantial involvement in the program beyond what is typical in a standard grant. Cooperative agreements generally involve close collaboration on technical direction, monitoring, and implementation support, which fits the capacity-building and transition goals of the program. The estimated total funding listed is USD 175,000,000 across the opportunity, and there is no cost-sharing or matching requirement. The notice does not state an award ceiling or floor (both are listed as zero), which usually indicates that the detailed funding structure and annual budgets would be governed by the full announcement and negotiated workplans rather than fixed minimums or maximums in the summary fields.
The timeline shows the opportunity was posted on February 7, 2011, with an application closing date of April 7, 2011, and an archive date of May 7, 2011, indicating it is a historical (not currently open) funding opportunity. For applicants or stakeholders needing the full technical requirements, the notice directs readers to the "Full Announcement" referenced on the posting page, and it provides CDC Procurement and Grants Office Technical Information Management Section (TIMS) contact details for assistance accessing the full materials (phone: 770-488-2700).
