Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "Expanding Services of Civil Society Organizations Responding to HIV/AIDS in the Republic of Zimbabwe Under the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR)" is a CDC-funded cooperative agreement designed to strengthen HIV/AIDS prevention, care, and support in Zimbabwe by investing in an indigenous (locally based) organization that can coordinate and build the capacity of a broader network of local civil society organizations. The central idea is that many communities in Zimbabwe rely heavily on community and civil society groups for HIV prevention and community-based care, especially in areas where public and private medical services are limited. By funding a single key network organization rather than many individual service organizations directly, PEPFAR/CDC aims to extend its reach more efficiently, touching more people, institutions, programs, and on-the-ground activities than would be feasible through direct grants to scattered providers.
The program focuses less on paying for direct clinical services and more on strengthening the systems that allow community organizations to function effectively, coordinate with each other, and advocate for better policies and resources. The funded organization is expected to improve leadership and governance structures across the network at district, provincial, and national levels. This includes helping member organizations operate with clearer oversight, better management practices, and stronger representation so that community-level realities are reflected in broader decision-making. Another major emphasis is on improving the collection of relevant data from member organizations and using that information to shape advocacy priorities. In practical terms, this means building the ability of the network to gather consistent program data from across many community groups, analyze it, and translate it into evidence-based messages about needs, gaps, and effective approaches.
A key outcome CDC is looking for is stronger information flow in multiple directions: from community members and local organizations up to policymakers for advocacy purposes, from policymakers back to community organizations so that guidance and policy changes are communicated clearly, and also laterally among member organizations so they can learn from each other and coordinate activities. This communication and coordination function is important in HIV programming because prevention and care efforts often depend on aligned messaging, referral pathways, community follow-up, stigma reduction efforts, and consistent support for people living with HIV/AIDS (PLHIV). The overall purpose is to make the civil society response more organized, better informed, and more influential, so that community-based services and advocacy can complement clinical care and fill gaps where formal health services are stretched.
Administratively, this opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number CDC RFA PS10-10143) was offered by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention under the health activity category, using a cooperative agreement mechanism. A cooperative agreement typically means CDC would expect substantial involvement in the project through collaboration, technical input, or joint planning rather than operating strictly as a hands-off funder. The total estimated funding amount was listed as $4,500,000, with one expected award, and there was no cost-sharing or matching requirement. The announcement was posted February 19, 2010, with an application closing date of April 20, 2010, and an archive date of May 20, 2010.
Eligibility was broad and included public and private nonprofit organizations, for-profit organizations, small/minority/women-owned businesses, universities and colleges, research institutions, hospitals, community-based and faith-based organizations, U.S.-affiliated tribal entities, state and local governments (and their bona fide agents with appropriate documentation), and non-U.S. (non-domestic) entities. The opportunity materials also noted that applicants applying as a bona fide agent of a state or local government needed to provide a confirming letter from the relevant government entity. The CFDA number associated with the program is 93.067 (Global AIDS). For technical issues accessing the full announcement, CDC provided a grants contact line (PGO TIMS grants) at 770-488-2700 and referenced a general email contact.
