Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity, issued by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) under PEPFAR, is focused on expanding healthcare systems strengthening support inside the Republic of Namibia's Ministry of Health and Social Services (MOHSS). While the funding sits within the Global AIDS program area (CFDA 93.067), the stated intent is broader than HIV/AIDS alone: it is meant to help the MOHSS build stronger underlying health system capacity so that the benefits of PEPFAR investments extend across services and populations, not just HIV-specific programs. The mechanism is a cooperative agreement, which typically means CDC would maintain substantial involvement in planning, technical direction, oversight, and performance monitoring rather than simply issuing a pass-through grant with minimal federal engagement.
The announcement (Funding Opportunity Number CDC RFA PS10-1095) is categorized as discretionary funding within the health activity area and anticipates making a single award. The total estimated funding amount listed is $2,000,000, with an award ceiling of $400,000 and an award floor of $400,000. Based on those figures and the expectation of one award, the $400,000 level appears to reflect the planned award amount for the specified budget period, while the higher total figure likely reflects an overall projection across multiple periods or related funding projections tied to the initiative. No cost sharing or matching requirement is indicated, so the recipient would not be required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of the award.
Eligibility is explicitly limited to the Namibian MOHSS. The notice explains that MOHSS is the sole government entity legally responsible for operating Namibia's public healthcare system, setting and implementing public-sector health policy, and enforcing national health laws across both public and private healthcare sectors. MOHSS carries out these responsibilities through six national directorates and thirteen regional directorates. Because of this exclusive statutory mandate, CDC specifies that MOHSS is the only organization in Namibia eligible to receive this direct government-to-government support for the proposed healthcare systems strengthening activities. In practical terms, that means other entities that might commonly compete for U.S. government funding (such as universities, NGOs, or international implementing partners) would not be eligible applicants under this particular opportunity.
The timeline information shows the opportunity was posted on January 19, 2010, with an original closing date of March 17, 2010, later extended to a current closing date of April 30, 2010. The archive date is May 30, 2010, indicating when the opportunity was expected to be formally archived after the application window closed and administrative steps moved forward. For support accessing the full announcement electronically, the contact listed is PGO TIMS Grants at 770-488-2700, with a general email address referenced in the notice.
Overall, the opportunity is essentially a targeted CDC-PEPFAR cooperative agreement designed to strengthen Namibia's national health system by directly supporting MOHSS in ways that improve capacity and performance beyond HIV/AIDS programming alone, using a single, centrally administered award to the ministry that is legally responsible for the country's health system governance and operations.
