Opportunity Summary:
This funding opportunity, issued by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) under the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR), focuses on strengthening and scaling comprehensive HIV/AIDS services in Nigeria by working through local, indigenous partners, with a strong emphasis on faith-based organizations (though applicants do not have to be faith-based). The core goal is to continue and expand community- and facility-based HIV programming that was already launched under earlier PEPFAR-funded clinical and antiretroviral treatment initiatives. In practical terms, the program is designed to sustain ongoing treatment and prevention platforms while widening reach and improving service delivery across a large geographic footprint.
The program targets sixteen locations: Abia, Adamawa, Anambra, Benue, Ebonyi, Edo, Enugu, Imo, Kaduna, Kano, Kogi, Nassarawa, Ondo, Plateau, Taraba, and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT). The services supported are broad and cover the main pillars of an HIV response: prevention, care and support, and treatment. The announcement highlights continuity of existing services as a key priority, meaning the award is not just about starting new activities, but about keeping established HIV clinics and community programs functioning and then building on them. The expected result is a stronger, more locally rooted service network that can deliver HIV services where people already seek care, including through mission hospitals and other trusted community institutions.
A notable aspect of the scope is the size of the ongoing service commitments that the award is expected to maintain. The opportunity states that activities to be continued include antiretroviral therapy (ART) for more than 34,000 patients, care and support services for more than 38,000 patients, and HIV counseling and testing (HCT) for more than 81,000 individuals. These figures signal that the award is meant to support high-volume service delivery rather than small pilot projects. It also implies the need for strong clinical systems, supply chain coordination, patient tracking and follow-up, workforce capacity, and community engagement to keep people connected to prevention and treatment services.
From an administrative standpoint, this is a discretionary grant opportunity using a cooperative agreement mechanism. A cooperative agreement typically means CDC expects substantial involvement during implementation, such as technical guidance, joint planning, performance monitoring, and alignment with PEPFAR strategies and national HIV priorities. The funding activity category is Health, and the CFDA number listed is 93.067 (Global AIDS). The estimated total funding amount is USD 115,000,000, and CDC anticipated making up to 6 awards. The announcement does not specify an award ceiling or floor (both are listed as 0), which usually indicates that budgets are expected to be proposed based on the scope of work and negotiated or determined through the application and review process rather than capped at a stated maximum.
Eligibility is tightly focused on building local ownership and capacity. Applicants must be local, indigenous Nigerian organizations that are fully registered in Nigeria. The definition provided emphasizes that the organization should have originated in Nigeria, be located in the geographic area it serves, primarily serve the local population, and have a majority of staff (including senior, mid-level, and support positions) made up of Nigerians. Eligible entities can include local public or private nonprofit organizations, universities, colleges, research institutions, hospitals, community-based organizations, faith-based organizations, and certain governmental or nongovernmental bodies whose governance documents meet PEPFAR's local partner requirements. The local partner definition is also explicit about ownership and control: at least 66 percent of the entity must be owned, managed, and operated by Nigerian citizens or legal permanent residents, and its principal place of business must be in Nigeria. This structure is intended to ensure that resources and decision-making authority sit primarily with Nigerian institutions, not external implementers.
The timeline information reflects that this opportunity was posted in February 2011, with an application closing date of April 12, 2011, and an archive date of May 12, 2011, meaning it is a historical opportunity rather than a currently open competition. The funding opportunity number is CDC-RFA-GH11-1123. For applicants at the time, CDC directed interested parties to review the full announcement for complete details, and provided CDC Procurement and Grants Office contact information for technical access issues.
Overall, the opportunity is best understood as a large-scale, service-delivery focused cooperative agreement intended to sustain and expand comprehensive HIV prevention, care/support, and treatment in multiple Nigerian states by investing directly in indigenous organizations, particularly those already delivering services through faith-based or community-rooted platforms. The program emphasizes continuity of ART and associated clinical and community services at significant scale, while advancing PEPFAR's broader objective of strengthening locally led responses and building durable Nigerian institutional capacity in HIV service delivery.
