Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity, titled "Implementation of Integrated HIV/AIDS Treatment, Care and Prevention Programs in the Republic of Mozambique under the Presidents Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief," is a CDC cooperative agreement designed to strengthen Mozambique's national HIV response through coordinated treatment, care, and prevention activities. The program sits under PEPFAR and is focused on supporting large-scale, integrated public health work rather than isolated projects. The central aim is to help Mozambique implement and expand services that reduce HIV transmission, improve health outcomes for people living with HIV, and strengthen the systems needed to sustain progress over time.
The scope of supported activities is broad and reflects the reality that effective HIV programming depends on strong clinical services plus a functioning health system around them. The opportunity emphasizes monitoring and evaluation and strategic information, including the development or strengthening of health information systems that can support routine HIV program monitoring. In practice, that means improving how facilities and programs collect, manage, analyze, and use data to track testing, treatment initiation, retention, viral suppression, and prevention outcomes, as well as ensuring that data can guide day-to-day program decisions and national planning.
Health workforce support is another major pillar, covering human resources for health and related capacity-building needed to deliver services at scale. This can include planning, training, supervision, and the practical staffing structures that allow clinics and community programs to function reliably. The announcement also highlights biosafety, which is important for protecting health workers and patients, ensuring safe handling of specimens, and supporting laboratory and clinical practices that reduce occupational risk and improve quality of care.
On the prevention side, the opportunity includes counseling and testing, workplace HIV prevention, and prevention approaches tailored to populations at higher risk. It also includes "positive prevention," meaning prevention strategies that support people living with HIV to stay healthy and reduce onward transmission, typically through effective treatment, adherence support, risk-reduction counseling, partner services, and related interventions. Prevention of mother-to-child transmission (PMTCT) is specifically called out, reflecting the importance of integrating HIV services into maternal and child health settings and ensuring that pregnant and breastfeeding women have access to testing, antiretroviral therapy, and follow-up services for themselves and their infants.
The clinical service package includes adult and pediatric HIV care and treatment, along with attention to sexually transmitted infections and tuberculosis, both of which are closely linked to HIV outcomes and transmission dynamics. Integrating TB and STI services into HIV programs supports earlier diagnosis and treatment, reduces morbidity, and helps address co-infections that complicate HIV care. The inclusion of cervical cancer signals an integrated approach for women living with HIV, who face increased risk; this typically involves strengthening screening and referral pathways within HIV and reproductive health platforms.
The announcement also notes improving and expanding reproductive health in clinical and community settings, pointing to integrated service delivery that reaches people where they receive care and where barriers are lowest. The mention of traditional medicine suggests engagement with local health practices and stakeholders to improve referral, adherence, and community acceptance, which can be crucial for sustained uptake of HIV services in many settings.
From an administrative and funding perspective, this is a discretionary funding opportunity using a cooperative agreement mechanism, meaning CDC expects to have substantial involvement in the program alongside the recipient, such as providing technical assistance, collaboration on implementation approaches, and shared oversight of performance and outcomes. The funding opportunity number is CDC RFA GH13 1316 under CFDA 93.067 (Global AIDS). The estimated total funding listed is $25,000,000, with an award ceiling of $5,000,000 and no stated award floor. The anticipated number of awards is one, which aligns with the eligibility restrictions and the national-scale nature of the work.
Eligibility is effectively limited to Mozambique's Ministry of Health (MOH). The rationale provided is that the MOH is the only appropriate and qualified organization for this specific set of activities because it has the legal authority and credibility to collect essential HIV data and provide care, it is mandated to conduct epidemic control activities including HIV/AIDS, and Mozambique has very limited private healthcare capacity while the MOH already operates an established nationwide network of facilities. In other words, the opportunity is structured to channel resources through the governmental body that runs the public health system and can implement services across the country.
Key dates included a posted date of January 29, 2013, an original closing date of April 15, 2013, and a revised closing date of May 31, 2013, with an archive date of June 30, 2013. The sponsoring agency is the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
