Opportunity Summary:
The CAPACITY DEVELOPMENT SUPPORT (CDS) opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number SOL RFA 674 13 000005) is a USAID/South Africa grant aimed at strengthening South Africa's ability to lead and sustain its own HIV/AIDS response over time. The core purpose is to support PEPFAR priorities while aligning with the South African Government's National Strategic Plan, with a strong emphasis on transitioning programs toward country ownership. In practical terms, the opportunity is designed to help local systems and organizations become more self-reliant by improving how grants are awarded, managed, and monitored, and by building long-term institutional capacity so programs can continue effectively with reduced dependence on external support.
This funding is offered as a discretionary Cooperative Agreement in the health sector. A cooperative agreement generally signals that the funder expects to remain actively involved during implementation, not just provide money and step back. The opportunity anticipated a single award, with an estimated total funding level up to $220,000,000, which also serves as the award ceiling, and a stated award floor of $1. Cost sharing or matching is required, meaning the recipient is expected to contribute resources of some kind as part of the overall project, according to the full announcement details.
The project is organized around three main components. First is Grant Award and Management, which focuses on the practical mechanics of making and administering grants, including setting up compliant systems, ensuring proper oversight, and helping organizations meet reporting and accountability expectations. Second is Institutional Capacity Development of Indigenous Organizations, which is centered on strengthening local South African organizations so they can manage funding, run programs, and maintain operations sustainably. This typically implies improving governance, financial management, procurement, human resources, monitoring and evaluation, and overall organizational systems so local entities can perform at a high level and compete for and manage major funding streams. Third is Capacity Development Assistance to the South African Government, which aims to strengthen government capacity relevant to the transition to country ownership, reinforcing the public sector's ability to plan, coordinate, and oversee the national response in a durable way.
Eligibility is described as unrestricted, meaning it is open to any type of entity, subject to any additional eligibility details that may be provided in the full text of the announcement. The opportunity was posted June 13, 2013, with an original and current closing date of July 11, 2013, and an archive date of August 10, 2013. The funding is administered by USAID Pretoria (USAID/South Africa). For applicants who had trouble accessing the full announcement, the listed point of contact was Beatrice Lumande, Acquisition Assistance Specialist, reachable by phone at +27 12 452 2377 or by email at applications4@usaid.gov.
