Opportunity Summary:
USAID Mission to Southern Africa (based in Pretoria) issued this discretionary funding opportunity, Funding Opportunity Number 674-11-0004, titled "HIV Prevention with Youth and Adults Program in Lesotho." The award is intended to support a five-year effort in Lesotho focused specifically on HIV prevention among both youth and adults. USAID is looking for an organization to design, implement, and coordinate prevention activities that are described as highly innovative, state-of-the-art, and strongly results driven, with a clear emphasis on measurable behavior and social norm change rather than general awareness raising alone.
The central objective of the program is to increase the adoption of protective behaviors, with the strongest focus placed on safer sexual behaviors and the broader social norms that either support or discourage those behaviors. In practical terms, the opportunity is aimed at interventions that can influence decision-making and day-to-day practices among adolescents, young people, and adults, while also shaping the community, peer, and societal environment so that safer choices are easier to make and more socially supported. The full technical and management expectations were provided in the Request for Applications (RFA) referenced as 674-11-0004, which applicants were expected to use as the authoritative program description and instructions.
Funding is planned as a single award (Expected Awards: 1) issued under a Cooperative Agreement, meaning USAID anticipated substantial involvement during implementation compared with a standard grant. The estimated total funding and the award ceiling are both listed as USD 17,000,000, with an award floor of USD 0. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, so applicants were not required to contribute their own funds as a condition of eligibility, though applicants would still need to propose a realistic and well-justified budget aligned to the program approach.
Eligible applicants include a wide range of organization types: U.S. and non-U.S. non-governmental organizations (NGOs), private voluntary organizations (PVOs), public international organizations, and for-profit entities as long as they are willing to forego profit. Faith-based and community organizations can also apply if they meet the stated criteria. USAID explicitly notes that it encourages applications from new partners as part of its broader interest in expanding and sustaining the development partner base, which signals openness to applicants that may not have an extensive prior USAID award history, provided they can demonstrate capacity and a credible technical approach.
Key administrative dates show the opportunity was posted on December 17, 2010, with a closing date of January 27, 2011 (the same date is shown for both the original and current closing date). USAID emphasized on-time submission: applications had to be received by the Agreement Officer by the deadline using one of the submission methods specified in the RFA. Applications received after the deadline would be considered late and could be excluded at the Agreement Officer's discretion, with the notice underscoring that timely award was important to U.S. foreign policy goals. The opportunity archive date is listed as February 26, 2011, indicating the posting is historical rather than currently open.
The listing associates the program with the Health funding activity category and CFDA number 98.001 (USAID Foreign Assistance for Programs Overseas). For prospective applicants at the time, USAID provided a point of contact for access issues: Hossana Agedew, Regional Agreement/Acquisition Specialist, reachable by phone at 00 267 3672413 and by email at hagedew@usaid.gov.
