Opportunity Summary:
This funding opportunity, issued by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) under the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR), focuses on sustaining and strengthening HIV/AIDS prevention, care, and treatment services in the Republic of Cote d'Ivoire. The core aim is continuity: it is designed to build directly on prior PEPFAR investments made through HHS/CDC-supported HIV clinical services and antiretroviral treatment (ART) programs so that people already enrolled in HIV care, support, and treatment do not experience service disruptions. In practical terms, the program is structured to keep comprehensive HIV service delivery functioning for an existing client base while also positioning the national response to become more resilient over time.
A central theme of the announcement is capacity and sustainability. The program is not limited to delivering services in the short term; it is explicitly intended to increase the long-term strength of the HIV response in Cote d'Ivoire. The approach starts with direct support for HIV service delivery, then transitions toward robust technical assistance for indigenous Ivorian organizations. The expectation is that these local organizations will be enabled to continue, expand, and manage comprehensive HIV prevention, care, and ART programs with increasing independence. In other words, the grant is framed as a bridge from externally supported delivery to locally sustained leadership, emphasizing skills transfer, systems strengthening, and organizational development alongside clinical and community programming.
The implementation model described is a combined facility-based and community-based strategy. This signals that successful applicants are expected to operate across the continuum of care, linking health facilities that provide clinical services (including ART) with community-level activities that support prevention, engagement in care, retention, and ongoing support. While the short summary text does not list specific interventions, the language strongly implies integrated programming that reinforces clinical outcomes through community reach, such as promoting early identification and linkage to services, supporting adherence and retention, and ensuring that prevention and care efforts are mutually reinforcing rather than siloed.
From a funding and administrative standpoint, the opportunity is a discretionary CDC cooperative agreement in the health category. A cooperative agreement typically means CDC anticipates substantial involvement in the program beyond what is seen in a standard grant, often through collaboration on technical direction, monitoring, and program improvement. The total estimated funding listed is $60,000,000, with an expectation of three awards. The notice does not specify an award ceiling or floor (both are listed as 0), which usually indicates that applicants needed to consult the full announcement for detailed budgeting expectations, award sizing, and any limits or guidance on allowable costs. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement, reducing barriers for organizations that may not have non-federal funds to contribute.
Eligibility is broad and includes a wide range of potential implementers. Eligible applicants include nonprofits with and without 501(c)(3) status, for-profit organizations (including small businesses and small, minority-, and women-owned businesses), universities, colleges, research institutions, hospitals, community-based organizations, and faith-based organizations. Government entities are also eligible, including state and local governments (and their bona fide agents), as well as federally or state-recognized American Indian/Alaska Native tribal governments. Notably, non-U.S. entities are eligible as well, which aligns with the stated goal of strengthening indigenous Ivorian organizations and supporting local capacity. For applicants applying as a bona fide agent of a state or local government, the announcement requires documentation in the form of a letter confirming that status, submitted as part of the application package through Grants.gov.
Key identifying details include the Funding Opportunity Number CDC-RFA-GH11-1116 and CFDA number 93.067 (Global AIDS). The opportunity was posted on February 8, 2011, with an original and current closing date of April 8, 2011, and an archive date of May 8, 2011, indicating it is a historical, no-longer-active competition. For applicants at the time who needed the complete technical requirements, the notice directs them to the "Full Announcement" in the posting, and it provides CDC Procurement and Grants Office Technical Information Management Section (TIMS) contact support at 770-488-2700 for access issues.
Overall, the opportunity is best understood as a large-scale PEPFAR continuity and transition grant: it seeks organizations capable of maintaining comprehensive HIV services for current patients in Cote d'Ivoire while simultaneously developing the technical and institutional strength of local partners so that prevention, care, and ART programs can be sustained and expanded with increasing country ownership.
