Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "Health Systems Strengthening for a Sustainable HIV/AIDS Response in Ukraine" is a USAID funding announcement for a major five-year program designed to help Ukraine deliver stronger, more durable HIV/AIDS services. It is positioned as a PEPFAR Ukraine flagship project, meaning it sits at the center of the U.S. Government HIV response in the country and is intended to support a long-term, system-level shift rather than short-lived service delivery alone. The core purpose is to strengthen Ukraine's health system so it can provide effective and sustainable HIV prevention, care, and treatment services, with a specific emphasis on reaching and serving key populations.
USAID planned to make one award under a Cooperative Agreement, which typically means the recipient would implement the project with substantial involvement from USAID (more back-and-forth technical collaboration and oversight than in a standard grant). The funding activity category is Health, and the program is funded under CFDA 98.001 (USAID Foreign Assistance for Programs Overseas). The estimated total funding was set at $18,000,000 for the full project period, and both the award ceiling and floor were also listed as $18,000,000, signaling that USAID expected a single award at that level rather than a range of possible award sizes. Cost sharing or matching was not required.
Eligibility was broadly open. USAID invited applications from qualified U.S. or non-U.S. organizations, including non-profit and for-profit non-governmental organizations (NGOs) as well as other qualified non-U.S. Government organizations. In practice, that wording indicates the competition was not narrowly limited to a specific organizational type, though applicants still needed to meet the technical and administrative requirements described in the full announcement.
From a programmatic standpoint, the emphasis on "health systems strengthening" and "HIV policy implementation" points to work that goes beyond direct patient services. This kind of project commonly focuses on improving how the national and subnational health system plans, finances, manages, regulates, and monitors HIV services. That can include strengthening governance and coordination, improving service delivery models, supporting implementation of national HIV policies and guidelines, building sustainable financing and procurement approaches, improving data systems and the use of strategic information, and supporting quality assurance and continuous improvement so that HIV services remain effective over time. The explicit reference to sustainability and key populations suggests the project was expected to reinforce systems that protect continuity of prevention and treatment services for communities at higher risk of HIV acquisition or with higher HIV burden, including ensuring these services are accessible, consistent, and integrated into broader health services where appropriate.
Administratively, the opportunity was issued by USAID/Ukraine through the Regional Contracting Office in Kyiv. It was posted on April 29, 2013, with an original and current closing date of June 18, 2013, at 16:00 local Kyiv time, and it was archived on July 18, 2013. Only one award was anticipated. The funding opportunity number was RFA-121-13-000003, and the instrument type was a Cooperative Agreement, reflecting a partnership-oriented implementation structure.
For questions or issues accessing the full announcement, the listed point of contact was Ms. Marina Orlova, AA Specialist at USAID/Ukraine/RCO, reachable by phone at 044 521 5464 or by email at morlova@usaid.gov.
