Opportunity Summary:
The Combination Prevention Program in Swaziland (Funding Opportunity No. 674 10 00045) is a USAID cooperative agreement designed to strengthen and unify HIV prevention efforts across the Kingdom of Swaziland by building on what earlier prevention programs have already achieved. The central idea is not to start from scratch, but to take proven experience, results, and lessons learned from past work and reorganize them into a better coordinated national initiative. The opportunity emphasizes that HIV prevention has to reach people in the different places where risk and vulnerability are shaped, meaning it should operate at multiple levels such as individuals, families, and communities, while also working across key sectors like health and education. The overall intent is maximum measurable impact on the HIV epidemic by ensuring prevention activities are aligned, coordinated, and mutually reinforcing rather than fragmented.
Programmatically, the RFA seeks applicants who can support a national combination prevention approach using effective, tested strategies. "Combination prevention" here means blending multiple types of interventions so they address HIV risk from several angles at once. The solicitation explicitly references structural, behavioral, and biomedical interventions, signaling an expectation that the funded work will not rely on a single tactic. Structural interventions generally involve addressing broader conditions that influence HIV transmission and vulnerability, such as policies, social norms, gender dynamics, access barriers, and other systemic factors. Behavioral interventions focus on helping people adopt and sustain safer behaviors through education, skills building, communication, and community engagement. Biomedical interventions include clinically grounded prevention tools and services that reduce transmission risk. The opportunity is framed around enabling a coordinated national effort, so applicants are expected to demonstrate an ability to work in partnership with national systems and stakeholders and to implement approaches that have evidence behind them rather than untested concepts.
From a funding and award standpoint, this is a discretionary health funding opportunity administered by USAID (South Africa USAID Pretoria) under the CFDA listing 98.001, USAID Foreign Assistance for Programs Overseas. USAID anticipated making one award, and the funding level was set at a total estimated amount of $16,000,000, with an award floor and ceiling both listed as $16,000,000, which implies a single, full-size award rather than a range of possible award amounts. The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which typically means substantial involvement by the U.S. Government during implementation compared with a standard grant, often through collaboration on technical direction, coordination, or oversight expectations described in the full RFA. The opportunity also required cost sharing or matching, meaning the recipient would be expected to contribute resources toward the overall program as defined in the solicitation.
Eligibility was broadly open, with "unrestricted" applicants allowed subject to any additional details in the RFA. Eligible applicants could be U.S. or non-U.S. organizations, including non-governmental organizations (NGOs), private voluntary organizations (PVOs), public international organizations, and for-profit companies provided they were willing to forego profit. Faith-based and community organizations meeting the criteria were also eligible. USAID highlighted an interest in expanding and diversifying its partner base, explicitly encouraging applications from potential new partners, which suggests openness to organizations that may not have had a long history of USAID awards but can demonstrate the technical and operational ability to deliver results.
Key dates and submission rules were clearly defined. The opportunity was posted June 16, 2010, with an application deadline of July 15, 2010 at 1600 Pretoria time. Questions had to be submitted in writing by email no later than June 25, 2010 at 1600 Pretoria time, to Leona Sasinkova (lsasinkova@usaid.gov) and Hossana Agedew (AgedewH@bw.cdc.gov). The notice emphasized that late applications might not be considered, at the agreement officer's discretion, reinforcing that applicants needed to follow the deadline and submission requirements closely. For access issues with the full announcement, the listed contact was Hossana Agedew, Regional Agreement Administration Specialist, reachable by phone at 00 267 367413 and by email at AgedewH@bw.cdc.gov. The program was later archived on August 14, 2010, indicating it is a historical funding opportunity rather than an active solicitation today.
In short, this RFA funded a single, large-scale cooperative agreement meant to organize and strengthen Swaziland's national HIV prevention response through a coordinated combination prevention model, integrating structural, behavioral, and biomedical strategies across population levels and sectors, and implemented by an eligible organization capable of delivering proven approaches with required cost sharing.
