Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "Development of Health Leadership Capacity and Support of Human Resources for Health Systems in the Republic of Zimbabwe Under the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR)" is a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) cooperative agreement aimed at strengthening Zimbabwe's public-sector health workforce by improving leadership capacity across the health system. At its core, the program is designed to bolster how health services are planned and managed, how programs are implemented, and how patient care is delivered, with a specific focus on carrying out the Ministry of Health and Child Welfare's national Human Resources for Health (HRH) policy. A central feature of the work is the development and rollout of a national leadership training and mentorship program, meaning the award is intended to build practical, on-the-job leadership and management skills rather than only supporting short-term trainings or isolated activities.
This opportunity falls under a discretionary funding category and uses a cooperative agreement as the funding instrument, which typically means the CDC expects to be substantially involved during implementation (for example, through technical guidance, collaboration on work planning, and ongoing monitoring). The activity category is health, and the CFDA listing is 93.067 (Global AIDS), tying it directly to PEPFAR-supported objectives and the broader HIV/AIDS response. The program is positioned as a health-systems strengthening effort: by improving leadership and HRH systems, the intent is to improve the effectiveness and sustainability of HIV-related and broader public health services delivered through Zimbabwe's public sector.
In terms of funding scale and award structure, the announcement anticipated a single award (ExpectedAwards: 1), with an estimated total funding amount of $2,500,000. The listed award ceiling is $300,000 and the award floor is $0, reflecting the formal bounds shown in the synopsis. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, so applicants are not required to contribute a specific financial match as a condition of eligibility. The opportunity was posted on February 25, 2010, with the original closing date of April 26, 2010, later extended to May 14, 2010. The archive date is June 13, 2010, which indicates the announcement is historical and no longer open, but the details remain useful for understanding the program model and CDC/PEPFAR priorities at that time.
Eligibility was broad and included a wide range of potential implementers. Eligible applicant types included public and private nonprofit organizations, for-profit organizations (including small businesses and minority- or women-owned businesses), universities and colleges, research institutions, hospitals, community-based and faith-based organizations, and government entities. It also included federally recognized tribal organizations and governments, tribal epidemiology centers, and Indian tribal organizations, as well as state and local governments and their bona fide agents. Non-U.S. (non-domestic) entities were explicitly eligible as well, which is relevant given the Zimbabwe focus and the likelihood of implementation partners being based outside the United States. For applicants applying as a bona fide agent of a state or local government, the announcement required documentation in the form of a letter from the relevant state or local government confirming that status, to be attached in the application submission package through Grants.gov.
Operationally, the work described is meant to support the Zimbabwe Ministry of Health and Child Welfare in implementing its national HRH policy while simultaneously creating a structured, national leadership training and mentorship approach. This implies activities such as designing leadership curricula tailored to the health sector, establishing mentorship structures and supervisory coaching practices, and integrating leadership development into routine health planning and service delivery systems. The emphasis on leadership in health planning and program implementation also suggests alignment with strengthening management at various levels of the health system, potentially including facility leadership, district/provincial management, and national program management, with the ultimate goal of improving performance and accountability in public-sector health services tied to PEPFAR outcomes.
