Opportunity Summary:
This funding opportunity is a USAID/Lusaka, Zambia request for applications (RFA) to support a three-year HIV prevention program focused on increasing community-based HIV prevention interventions in selected target communities in Zambia. The award is structured as a cooperative agreement, which generally means the recipient will implement program activities while working closely with USAID, including substantial involvement by the agency in technical direction, coordination, and oversight. The program sits within the health funding category and is intended to strengthen prevention efforts at the community level, emphasizing interventions that can reach people where they live and socialize rather than relying only on facility-based services.
USAID anticipated making one award under this opportunity, with an estimated total funding amount of approximately USD 4.4 million. The expected award size is tightly bounded, with a stated floor of USD 4.0 million and a ceiling of USD 4.4 million, signaling that applicants were expected to propose a comprehensive, multi-year package of prevention activities at meaningful scale. The opportunity also requires cost sharing or matching, so applicants needed to contribute resources (cash and/or in-kind, depending on the solicitation terms) alongside USAID funding, and to clearly document and track those contributions according to USAID requirements.
Eligibility was listed as unrestricted, meaning applications were open to a broad range of entity types, subject to any additional eligibility conditions that may have been clarified in the full announcement. In practice, this kind of RFA typically attracts national and international NGOs, faith-based and community-based organizations, and other qualified implementers with demonstrated experience in HIV prevention programming, community mobilization, behavior change, and coordination with government and local stakeholders.
Key administrative details include the Funding Opportunity Number 611 2010 09 RFA and the CFDA number 98.001 (USAID Foreign Assistance for Programs Overseas). The announcement was posted on February 14, 2010, with an application closing date of March 15, 2010, and an archive date of April 14, 2010. For applicants who had trouble accessing the full announcement, the listed point of contact was Cecilia Kasoma, Acquisition Specialist at USAID Zambia, with the provided phone number 260211254303. The full solicitation was referenced via an additional information link titled "RFA - HIV Prevention Compact Program," which would have contained the detailed program objectives, geographic focus, target populations, required technical approach, monitoring and evaluation expectations, budget instructions, and submission requirements.
