Opportunity Summary:
The USAID/Tanzania grant opportunity titled "Economic Strengthening for Households Affected by AIDS" (Funding Opportunity Number: USAID TANZANIA 10 007 RFA) is a discretionary USAID program intended to strengthen the economic resilience of households in Tanzania that are infected with and/or affected by HIV/AIDS. It is funded under CFDA 98.001 (USAID Foreign Assistance for Programs Overseas) and is designed to support broader U.S. Government foreign assistance priorities, especially the objective of "Investing in People," as well as USAID/Tanzania's strategic objective focused on an enhanced multi-sectoral HIV/AIDS response. In practical terms, the opportunity sits within the HIV/AIDS space and specifically aligns with community care and support for people living with HIV/AIDS (PLHA), with an emphasis on reducing vulnerability at the household level.
The central purpose of the activity is to improve community care and support for populations impacted by HIV/AIDS by strengthening household economies so families can better cope with shocks, meet basic needs more consistently, and access social services without remaining dependent on direct assistance. A key program logic running through the announcement is the idea of "graduation" from direct PEPFAR support for basic needs: by improving income stability and financial coping strategies, vulnerable households can move toward self-reliance and reduce the need for ongoing external support. The opportunity highlights the importance of protecting vulnerable household members, with particular attention to orphans and vulnerable children (OVC), reflecting the reality that HIV/AIDS-related illness, mortality, and economic strain often place children at higher risk of poor health, interrupted schooling, exploitation, and long-term poverty.
Although the activity is grounded in HIV/AIDS community care objectives, it also deliberately connects to the U.S. Government foreign assistance objective of "Economic Growth," specifically the "Economic Opportunity" program area. The announcement frames economic strengthening as a bridge between humanitarian-style vulnerability support and more conventional economic growth interventions. In other words, the program aims to help households reach a level of income and consumption stability that allows them to participate in broader economic development efforts, rather than remaining stuck in a cycle of crisis management and short-term coping.
The stated overarching goal is to improve the effectiveness of economic strengthening approaches used to mitigate the impact of HIV and AIDS on vulnerable households in Tanzania. The opportunity defines the kinds of household-level outcomes it expects from successful implementation. These outcomes include (1) increased household assets and greater use of self-insurance mechanisms (such as savings, community-based safety nets, or other risk-management tools that reduce the need for harmful coping strategies), (2) stabilized household income, (3) stabilized household consumption and better managed cash flow so families can handle routine expenses and predictable shocks, and (4) expanded household income and consumption over time, signaling not just stability but longer-term improvement in living standards. Taken together, these outcomes point to programming that strengthens both short-term resilience and longer-term economic advancement for affected families.
From a funding and administrative standpoint, USAID anticipated making a single award through a cooperative agreement mechanism, with an estimated total funding amount of $5,000,000. The award ceiling and floor are both listed as $5,000,000, which effectively indicates one award at a fixed total amount. The opportunity did not require cost sharing or matching. Eligible applicants included a range of organization types: for-profit organizations (other than small businesses), nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education), nonprofits without 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education), and private institutions of higher education. The posting date was April 29, 2010, with a closing date of May 28, 2010, and the opportunity was later archived on June 27, 2010.
The funding opportunity was issued by USAID Tanzania in Dar es Salaam, and the contact listed for assistance with accessing the full announcement was Samuel Kiranga, an acquisition specialist (phone: 2668503).
