Opportunity Summary:
This opportunity is a USAID/Mozambique grant competition focused on expanding and strengthening combination HIV prevention for the general population of adults and youth in Mozambique, with an explicit inclusion of persons living with HIV (PLH). The program is designed as a results-oriented effort over four years, aiming to measurably reduce both new HIV infections (acquisition) and onward spread of HIV (transmission). In practice, "combination prevention" typically means using multiple, complementary approaches at the same time such as behavioral, biomedical, and structural interventions so that prevention does not rely on a single strategy, but instead addresses different drivers of risk across communities and age groups.
The award is structured as a cooperative agreement, which generally means the recipient would implement the program while USAID remains substantially involved in technical direction, oversight, and collaboration during implementation. The funding activity category is Health, and USAID anticipated making a single award under this solicitation. The program was intended to operate at scale, with an estimated total funding amount of up to USD 26,000,000, and the award ceiling is also listed as USD 26,000,000 (with no stated minimum award floor). A cost-sharing or matching contribution is required, meaning applicants were expected to contribute resources (cash and/or allowable in-kind support) alongside USAID funds, subject to the specific terms described in the full announcement.
Eligibility is listed as "unrestricted," indicating that, in general, any type of organization could apply (for example, non-profits, for-profits, universities, faith-based organizations, and other entities), as long as they meet any additional eligibility details or clarifications included in the full solicitation. Because the opportunity seeks a results-oriented national or large-scale program, applicants would typically need to demonstrate strong organizational capacity, proven HIV prevention experience, monitoring and evaluation capability, and the ability to coordinate with public-sector and community stakeholders. The emphasis on adults, youth, and PLH suggests the program expected to address prevention needs across the general population while also supporting prevention among people already living with HIV, which often includes strengthening prevention counseling, risk-reduction support, and linkages to services that reduce transmission.
Key solicitation details include the funding opportunity number RFA 656-10-005 and the title "Combination HIV Prevention for the General Population of Adults and Youth, including Persons Living with HIV (PLH), in Mozambique." The opportunity was posted on March 25, 2010 (created March 24, 2010). The original and current closing date were both April 27, 2010, and the archive date was May 27, 2010, indicating this specific competition is no longer active. The agency listing references USAID Pretoria (South Africa) in association with USAID/Mozambique, which is consistent with some regional administrative and procurement support arrangements.
