Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity, titled "Improving the Quality of Namibias Essential Health," is a U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) funding announcement aimed at strengthening the Government of the Republic of Namibia's ability to deliver high-impact, evidence-based public health services, with a primary focus on HIV prevention and HIV/AIDS care and support. The overarching intent is to reinforce national capacity so Namibia can better prevent HIV transmission, expand access to higher-quality HIV services, and improve the performance of the broader health system that supports these services. A central theme of the announcement is integration: HIV programming is expected to be linked effectively with maternal and child health services, as well as with malaria, tuberculosis (TB), and other primary healthcare programs, rather than being implemented as a standalone set of activities.
The award mechanism is a cooperative agreement, which generally means the funder anticipates substantial involvement and ongoing collaboration with the recipient during project implementation. The opportunity falls under the health funding activity category and is associated with CFDA number 93.067 (Global AIDS), reflecting its connection to global HIV/AIDS efforts. The announcement anticipated a single award, indicating the intent to fund one primary recipient to carry out the work at national scale.
In terms of funding size and structure, the opportunity listed an estimated total funding amount of $115,000,000, with an award ceiling of $23,000,000 and no stated award floor. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement, so the recipient would not be required to contribute a specific financial match as a condition of the award.
Eligibility is narrowly defined. The Ministry of Health and Social Services (MOHSS) is identified as the only eligible applicant because it is Namibia's sole government entity legally responsible for operating the public healthcare system, setting and implementing public health policy, and enforcing national health laws across both public and private sectors. The announcement explains that MOHSS carries out these responsibilities through national and regional directorates and, because of its exclusive authority, it is the only organization eligible to receive direct government-to-government support from CDC for the proposed HIV/AIDS activities.
Key dates provided in the notice indicate the opportunity was posted on January 18, 2013, with an original closing date of April 10, 2013, later extended to April 30, 2013. The record was archived on May 10, 2013. For applicants or stakeholders needing assistance accessing the full announcement, CDC listed its Procurement and Grants Office Technical Information Management contact via phone at (770) 488-2700 or email at pgotim@cdc.gov.
