Integrated HIV Prevention Program for the Federal Police Force of Ethiopia under the Presidents Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) | Apply Online

Opportunity Summary:

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), through its Procurement and Grants Office, released a discretionary funding opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number CDC RFA PS10-10110) for an Integrated HIV Prevention Program tailored to the Federal Police Force of Ethiopia under the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR). The award is structured as a cooperative agreement, meaning CDC anticipates an ongoing programmatic partnership with the recipient rather than a hands-off grant. The opportunity sits within the health funding activity area and is tied to CFDA 93.067 (Global AIDS). The program is intended to help expand and strengthen HIV prevention, care, and treatment activities in alignment with the Government of Ethiopia's National HIV/AIDS Plan, with an emphasis on improving services and outcomes within a major workplace and community institution: the federal police.

Funding for this initiative was planned as a single award (Expected Awards: 1). CDC indicated that approximately $342,000 would be available in fiscal year 2010 to support that one award, while the broader estimated total funding amount associated with the announcement is listed as $1,710,000. The notice does not specify an award ceiling or floor (both recorded as 0), and it explicitly states there is no cost-sharing or matching requirement, which reduces barriers for the eligible applicant to participate without needing to commit additional non-federal funds. The announcement was posted and created on January 26, 2010, with an original and current closing date of March 29, 2010, and an archive date of April 28, 2010, reflecting the standard lifecycle of a time-limited federal funding competition.

Eligibility for this specific opportunity is narrow and essentially targeted: the eligibility information identifies the Federal Police of Ethiopia as the eligible applicant. While the general eligible applicants field references "Others (see text field entitled Additional Information on Eligibility for clarification)," the clarification provided makes it clear this is a directed opportunity meant to support a defined institutional partner in Ethiopia rather than an open competition among many organizations. In practical terms, that indicates CDC and PEPFAR intended the cooperative agreement to reinforce HIV programming inside the police force and to link those efforts to national HIV priorities and systems, rather than funding an unrelated third-party implementer.

Programmatically, the award focuses on three main areas. First, it aims to enhance implementation of peer education and outreach through the Modeling and Reinforcement to Combat HIV/AIDS (MARCH) Program within the Federal Police setting. Peer education approaches are often used in workplace and uniformed-service environments because they leverage trusted internal messengers, reduce stigma, and can reach personnel who might not otherwise seek information or services. By emphasizing both modeling and reinforcement, the MARCH approach signals a focus on sustained behavior change supported by ongoing engagement, not one-time awareness campaigns.

Second, the opportunity seeks to expand Behavior Change Communication (BCC) interventions as part of the HIV/AIDS workplace program. BCC generally refers to structured communication strategies designed to influence risk behaviors and promote protective practices, often combining interpersonal communication, targeted messaging, and supportive materials. In a workplace context, BCC can include prevention education, condom promotion, stigma reduction, encouragement of HIV testing, and consistent messaging that supports treatment adherence and safer behaviors. For a police force, workplace programming can also be operationally important because mobility, deployment patterns, and occupational stress can affect risk and access to services; strong BCC components aim to normalize prevention and care-seeking as part of routine health and readiness.

Third, CDC describes increasing support to Ethiopia's National HIV/AIDS Program in designing and implementing capacity-building efforts to strengthen the quality and effectiveness of HIV/AIDS service delivery. This capacity-building language points beyond activities limited to the police force and toward strengthening systems that make services more reliable and higher quality, such as training, mentoring, supervision, monitoring and evaluation, and improving program management and service standards. The intent is not only to deliver interventions, but also to improve how services are delivered, measured, and sustained, which is consistent with PEPFAR's broader emphasis on building country capacity and improving program performance over time.

Administrative details included in the notice identify CDC as the agency and provide a point of contact for those who have trouble accessing the full announcement electronically: PGO TIMS at 770-488-2700, with a general email referenced but not fully specified in the provided text. Overall, this funding opportunity is a targeted, single-award cooperative agreement designed to expand and integrate HIV prevention and workplace-based interventions within the Ethiopian Federal Police Force while also reinforcing national capacity to deliver effective HIV services under Ethiopia's National HIV/AIDS Plan and the PEPFAR framework.
