Opportunity Summary:
The Integrated HIV Prevention and Health Services for Key and Priority Populations (HIS-KP) funding opportunity is a USAID Mozambique (USAID-MOZ) cooperative agreement aimed at improving health and HIV outcomes among key and priority populations. The program is designed around the idea that quality HIV-related services should not only exist, but be accessible in practical, repeatable ways that can expand over time. A central focus is building approaches that are scalable, meaning they can be implemented effectively across different locations and at increasing coverage without relying on one-off or highly specialized setups.
A core feature of the opportunity is strengthening referrals and linkages across the full continuum of services, spanning both community-based and clinic-based care. In practice, this points to improving how people move from outreach and prevention services into testing, treatment initiation, ongoing clinical care, and related support services, with fewer gaps and drop-offs along the way. The intent is to connect service points so that an individual does not get lost between community programs and health facilities, and so that prevention, care, and support are coordinated rather than fragmented.
To support long-term impact, the opportunity emphasizes sustainability through an integrated approach that combines community mobilization with structural interventions. Community mobilization generally refers to organizing and engaging affected communities to increase demand for services, reduce barriers to access, and promote peer support and local ownership. Structural interventions refer to addressing broader obstacles that shape risk and access to care, such as stigma and discrimination, harmful social norms, and other systemic barriers that prevent key and priority populations from safely and consistently using health services. The program description signals that USAID is looking for an approach that goes beyond delivering services in isolation and instead creates enabling conditions that make those services more reachable, acceptable, and durable.
From an administrative standpoint, this is an earmark opportunity under the health funding activity category, issued as a cooperative agreement, which typically implies substantial involvement by the funding agency in program planning, implementation, or oversight compared with a standard grant. The opportunity number is RFA 656 16 000001, associated with CFDA 98.001. Eligibility is listed as unrestricted, meaning any type of entity may apply as long as it meets any additional eligibility clarifications contained in the full solicitation materials. The opportunity was posted on January 15, 2016, with both the original and current closing date listed as February 29, 2016. The award ceiling is up to $20,000,000, indicating a large-scale program with the potential for significant geographic reach and multiple integrated components.
