Opportunity Summary:
The Caring for Children and Empowering Young People (C2EYP) opportunity is a USAID/Tanzania funding announcement designed to strengthen support for children, adolescents, and families affected by HIV within Tanzania under the broader U.S. President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) continuum of care. The activity is meant to operate in the same regions where USAID and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) are already backing clinical HIV services, particularly Prevention of Mother-to-Child Transmission (PMTCT) and pediatric HIV care and treatment. In practical terms, the grant is oriented toward wrapping community and family-focused support around existing facility-based HIV services so that children and young people are better protected, identified, linked to care, retained in treatment, and supported to achieve healthier long-term outcomes.
A core feature of C2EYP is coordination rather than duplication. The program is explicitly intended to leverage and closely align with ongoing efforts funded or supported by USAID, other U.S. Government (USG) partners, the Government of Tanzania (GOT), and other donor organizations working in the same target regions and across multiple service areas. This implies a strong expectation that the awardee will map existing services, build formal referral and case management linkages, share plans and data where appropriate, and integrate programming with the clinical platforms already supported by USAID and CDC. The emphasis is on building a coherent continuum that connects prevention and clinical care (like PMTCT and pediatric treatment) with the broader social and household supports that help families stay engaged in care and reduce vulnerability.
Another major theme is sustainability through intentional transition. The announcement notes that the activity should work toward sustainability by transitioning children and families out of program support during the life of the award. That language signals an expectation that the program will not function as indefinite assistance, but instead will strengthen household resilience and connect beneficiaries to longer-term community, government, or other sustainable services. This typically involves designing graduation or transition criteria, building the capacity of local systems and service providers, and ensuring that as families stabilize, they can rely less on direct project inputs and more on durable local support structures.
From a funding and administrative standpoint, this is a discretionary award using a Cooperative Agreement mechanism, which generally means USAID anticipates substantial involvement in technical direction and collaboration during implementation compared to a standard grant. The funding activity category is Health, and USAID expected to make a single award. The estimated total funding amount is $65,000,000, and the award ceiling is also $65,000,000 (with no stated award floor). A cost sharing or matching requirement applies, meaning applicants were expected to contribute resources consistent with the terms described in the full announcement.
Eligibility is listed as unrestricted, meaning the opportunity was open to any type of entity, subject to any additional eligibility clarifications included in the full solicitation text. The funding opportunity number is RFA 621 15 00005, and the CFDA number associated with the opportunity is 98.001 (USAID Foreign Assistance for Programs Overseas). The announcement was posted July 13, 2015, with an original and final closing date of August 31, 2015, and it was archived on September 30, 2015. The issuing agency is USAID/Tanzania based in Dar es Salaam. For access issues related to the full announcement, the listed point of contact was Robert J. Miller at rmiller@usaid.gov.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) - Caring for Children and Empowering Young People (C2EYP) - USAID/Tanzania
What is the Caring for Children and Empowering Young People (C2EYP) opportunity?
C2EYP is a USAID/Tanzania funding opportunity designed to strengthen support for children, adolescents, and families affected by HIV in Tanzania. It sits within the broader U.S. President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) continuum of care and focuses on improving long-term outcomes by connecting community and family support with existing clinical HIV services.
What problem is this activity trying to address?
The opportunity aims to improve how children and young people are protected, identified, linked to care, retained in treatment, and supported over time. The main idea is to reduce vulnerability and strengthen follow-through in care by surrounding facility-based HIV services with additional community and household-level supports.
Where in Tanzania is the activity expected to operate?
The activity is intended to operate in the same regions where USAID and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) are already supporting clinical HIV services, especially Prevention of Mother-to-Child Transmission (PMTCT) and pediatric HIV care and treatment.
How does C2EYP relate to PMTCT and pediatric HIV services?
C2EYP is oriented toward "wrapping" community and family-focused support around existing facility-based HIV services, particularly PMTCT and pediatric HIV care and treatment. The intent is to strengthen the continuum between prevention and clinical services and the social/household supports that help families stay engaged in care.
Is the program expected to create new clinical services?
Based on the description provided, the emphasis is not on duplicating facility-based clinical HIV services. Instead, the activity is designed to align with and complement existing clinical platforms already supported by USAID and CDC by strengthening community and family-focused supports that connect to those services.
What does "coordination rather than duplication" mean for applicants and implementers?
The opportunity is explicitly intended to leverage and align with ongoing efforts funded or supported by USAID, other U.S. Government (USG) partners, the Government of Tanzania (GOT), and other donor organizations working in the same target regions. This suggests a strong expectation that the awardee will map existing services, build formal referral and case management linkages, and integrate programming with existing clinical platforms rather than running parallel systems.
Which organizations and systems is the activity expected to coordinate with?
The announcement highlights coordination with USAID-supported efforts, other USG partners (including CDC-supported platforms), the Government of Tanzania (GOT), and other donor organizations operating in the same regions and across multiple service areas.
What kinds of integration activities are implied by the announcement?
The description implies that the awardee should map existing services, build referral and case management linkages, share plans and data where appropriate, and integrate community and household support programming with the clinical HIV services already being supported by USAID and CDC.
What is meant by a "continuum of care" in this opportunity?
In this opportunity, the continuum of care refers to connecting prevention and clinical HIV services (including PMTCT and pediatric treatment) with broader social and household supports. The goal is a coherent system that supports children and families from identification and linkage to care through retention and longer-term health outcomes.
What does the opportunity say about sustainability?
Sustainability is described as a major theme through intentional transition. The activity is expected to work toward sustainability by transitioning children and families out of program support during the life of the award, indicating that support is not intended to be indefinite.
What does "transitioning children and families out of program support" imply?
The language signals an expectation that the activity will strengthen household resilience and connect beneficiaries to longer-term community, government, or other sustainable services. It also implies the program would likely use some form of graduation or transition approach so families increasingly rely on durable local structures rather than ongoing project inputs.
