Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "Improving HIV/AIDS Prevention and Control Activities in the Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia under PEPFAR" was issued by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) as a discretionary funding program under a cooperative agreement mechanism (Funding Opportunity Number: CDC RFA PS09 9104). It was part of the U.S. President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) and fell under the health funding activity category, specifically aligned with CFDA 93.067 (Global AIDS). The announcement was posted on May 5, 2009, with an application deadline of June 19, 2009, and an anticipated award date before September 30, 2009.
The core purpose of the program was capacity building for Ethiopia's Ministry of Health (MOH) and its related entities so they could strengthen national HIV/AIDS prevention and control efforts. In practical terms, the funding was meant to help improve how HIV/AIDS activities are designed, carried out, and measured. That includes strengthening implementation systems, increasing technical and managerial capacity, and improving monitoring and evaluation (M&E) so decision-makers can track progress, identify gaps, and make evidence-based adjustments. Because the funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, the CDC would be expected to have substantial involvement beyond simply providing funds, typically through technical collaboration, joint planning, and oversight aligned with PEPFAR objectives.
The opportunity was structured to make approximately $3,992,000 available to support about one award, with an award floor listed at $3,500,000. There was no cost-sharing or matching requirement, meaning the recipient would not be required to contribute a defined portion of the project cost from non-federal sources as a condition of the award. This structure suggests a single, relatively large investment intended to support a coordinated national or near-national effort rather than multiple smaller projects.
Eligibility was highly restricted. According to the notice, the only eligible applicants were the Ethiopian Federal Ministry of Health, the National HIV/AIDS Prevention and Control Office (HAPCO), and ALERT Hospital. This kind of narrow eligibility typically indicates the program was designed to directly support specific national institutions that already have formal responsibility for HIV/AIDS policy, coordination, service delivery, training, surveillance, or specialized clinical care, and that are positioned to implement or oversee activities at scale.
For applicants and partners seeking further details at the time, the full program announcement was hosted on Grants.gov, and the CDC Procurement and Grants Office provided assistance for those unable to access the announcement electronically (PGOTIM, phone 770-488-2700).
