Opportunity Summary:
The CHASS (Clinical HIV/AIDS Services Strengthening) Mozambique opportunity was a USAID/Mozambique discretionary funding announcement issued as a cooperative agreement to support a results-oriented, five-year effort to strengthen HIV clinical services in Mozambique. The project focus was explicitly tied to improving HIV care and treatment within a broader, strengthened primary health care system, signaling that USAID was looking for an approach that integrates HIV services into routine facility-based care rather than running parallel or stand-alone HIV programs. The geographic scope targeted four provinces: Manica, Niassa, Sofala, and Tete, which suggests the intent was to improve clinical performance and service coverage in multiple high-need areas through province-level implementation.
In terms of award structure, USAID indicated flexibility in how it would fund implementation: it could make a single cooperative agreement covering all targeted provinces or issue multiple cooperative agreements, potentially one or more per province. The announcement anticipated up to four awards, aligning with the possibility of splitting implementation across provinces or consortia. Because the funding instrument was a cooperative agreement, applicants would need to plan for substantial USAID involvement during implementation (for example, through joint planning, technical direction, and close collaboration on achieving defined results), which is typical of cooperative agreements compared to standard grants.
The funding scale was large, with an estimated total funding amount of USD 135,700,000 and an award ceiling also listed at USD 135,700,000, indicating the maximum possible total award size under the opportunity. The activity category was Health, and the opportunity was posted on July 31, 2009, with an application closing date of September 14, 2009, and an archive date of October 14, 2009. Cost sharing or matching was required, meaning applicants were expected to contribute resources (cash and/or in-kind) in addition to USAID funds, and proposals would need to clearly describe the source, valuation, and management of those contributions.
Eligibility was described as unrestricted (open to any type of entity), subject to any additional eligibility clarifications in the full announcement. This typically means that a wide range of applicants could compete, such as non-governmental organizations, private firms, academic institutions, and other qualified entities, assuming they met any specific requirements laid out in the detailed solicitation. The listing associated the agency name with USAID Pretoria (South Africa), while the implementing mission was USAID/Mozambique, reflecting a regional administrative or posting arrangement often seen in USAID listings from that period.
For applicants needing access support, the point of contact in the announcement was Paul Vacik, Contract Specialist, with a listed phone number of 0027124522177. Overall, the opportunity aimed to fund major, multi-year implementation partners to measurably improve HIV clinical service delivery and health system integration across four provinces, using a performance- and results-driven approach under close USAID collaboration.
