Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "Comprehensive District Based Support for Better HIV/TB Patient Outcomes" is a USAID Mission to Southern Africa funding announcement focused on improving HIV and TB patient outcomes through a comprehensive, district-based service support approach. It is a five-year program designed to strengthen and expand HIV-related services at the district level, with an emphasis on practical improvements in how patients are reached, initiated on care, retained in treatment, and supported to achieve better health outcomes. While the short synopsis does not list every technical activity area, the framing makes it clear that USAID is seeking implementers that can work across a district health system in a coordinated way rather than running isolated, stand-alone projects.
This opportunity is issued as a discretionary funding action and will be funded through a Cooperative Agreement, which generally means USAID expects substantial involvement during implementation. In practice, that often translates into closer collaboration with USAID on planning, performance monitoring, and adaptive management over the life of the award, compared to a more hands-off grant mechanism. The activity category is health, and the CFDA number provided is 98.001 (USAID Foreign Assistance for Programs Overseas), indicating it is part of USAID's overseas assistance portfolio.
USAID anticipates making up to four awards under this solicitation. The estimated total funding level across all awards is stated as $75,000,000, with an award ceiling of $20,000,000 and an award floor of $1. These figures suggest USAID is open to a range of implementation scales, from more targeted district efforts to larger, multi-district programs, depending on applicant capacity and the technical design proposed. The notice also indicates that cost sharing or matching is required, meaning applicants should expect to contribute a portion of program resources (cash and/or allowable in-kind contributions) consistent with the terms detailed in the full RFA.
Eligibility is not fully defined in the brief excerpt and is listed as "Others (see text field entitled Additional Information on Eligibility for clarification)" with a note to "See RFA for eligibility information." In other words, interested organizations would need to consult the full solicitation to confirm whether they meet USAID's eligibility requirements and any restrictions that may apply (for example, whether the opportunity is open to international organizations, local entities, consortia, universities, NGOs, or other types of implementers).
In terms of timing, the opportunity was posted on May 4, 2012, with a creation date of May 17, 2012. The closing date is not fixed in the synopsis; instead, it states that the closing date will be determined at the time USAID requests full applications. This language often aligns with a multi-step application process, such as an initial concept paper or statement of interest followed by an invitation to submit a full application, though the exact process would be spelled out in the RFA itself.
The funding opportunity number is RFA 674 12 000005, and the issuing agency is listed as USAID Pretoria (South Africa), under the USAID Mission to Southern Africa. For applicants who cannot access the full announcement electronically, the contact person provided is Beatrice Lumande, an Acquisition Assistance Specialist, reachable by phone at +27 12 452 2377 or by email at blumande@usaid.gov. This contact detail is important for prospective applicants needing the full solicitation package, clarification on submission steps, or guidance on where official questions should be directed.
