Opportunity Summary:
This funding opportunity, titled "HIV care and treatment services in the Dukwi refugee camp in Botswana under the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR)," is a discretionary cooperative agreement issued by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). It was posted on January 18, 2013, with an original and final application closing date of April 10, 2013, and it was later archived on May 10, 2013. The program sits under CFDA 93.067 (Global AIDS) and is framed as part of PEPFAR-supported public health work focused on HIV services for a refugee camp population.
The core purpose of the announcement is very specific: CDC intended to make a foreign assistance award to the Botswana Red Cross Society (BRCS) to support HIV care and treatment services in the Dukwi refugee camp. Dukwi is managed by the Government of Botswana (GOB) together with the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), and CDC Botswana had already committed, through the PEPFAR Partnership Framework with the GOB, to supporting HIV care and treatment for people living in the camp. In other words, this announcement operationalizes an existing commitment under a broader U.S.-Botswana PEPFAR partnership, with the immediate aim of maintaining and strengthening clinical HIV services in a defined, high-need setting.
A key feature of this opportunity is that it was not open to full competition. Although the general eligible applicant category is listed as "Others" with clarification in the eligibility text, the practical eligibility was effectively limited to BRCS. The reason given is that BRCS is the only organization authorized by the Government of Botswana to provide health services in the Dukwi refugee camp, including HIV care and treatment services. Because no other organization is permitted to perform this role in that location, the notice explains that full and open competition is precluded. As a result, the FOA functions as a mechanism to fund the sole approved provider rather than to solicit multiple competing applicants.
In terms of award structure and funding levels, CDC anticipated making one award total. The estimated total funding amount for the program was $2,500,000, with an award ceiling of $500,000 and an award floor of $250,000. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning the recipient would not be required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of the award. The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which typically means CDC expected to have substantial programmatic involvement during implementation, such as collaboration on planning, oversight, monitoring, and alignment with PEPFAR technical standards, rather than functioning purely as a hands-off grantor.
Overall, the opportunity can be understood as targeted support for continuity and quality of HIV clinical services in a refugee camp environment, delivered through the only entity authorized to provide those services. It ties directly to CDC Botswana's PEPFAR commitments under the Partnership Framework with the Government of Botswana and reflects the practical reality that service delivery in the camp is governed by host-country restrictions and coordination with UNHCR. For applicants or stakeholders who had trouble accessing the announcement at the time, the FOA provided a CDC Procurement and Grants Office Technical Information Management contact point by phone at (770) 488-2700 or by email at pgotim@cdc.gov.
