Opportunity Summary:
The Inter Agency APS titled "Prevention for at Risk Populations in High Prevalence Urban Areas in Ethiopia" is a USAID/Ethiopia funding opportunity under the U.S. President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR). Its central aim is to bring in prospective new partners to help implement HIV prevention activities focused specifically on at-risk populations living in urban areas of Ethiopia where HIV prevalence is high. The application process is structured in stages, beginning with the submission of concept papers. Applicants whose concept papers are selected would then be invited to submit full applications, which is a common approach for narrowing the field and ensuring that only the most relevant and promising ideas advance to full proposal development.
The opportunity is listed as discretionary funding and can be awarded either as a grant or a cooperative agreement, which generally means USAID may remain more actively involved in the project under a cooperative agreement compared to a standard grant. The funding activity category is health, reflecting the program's focus on HIV prevention interventions. USAID anticipated making a limited number of awards, with an expected total of about eight agreements.
In terms of scale, the estimated total funding available across all awards is $10,000,000. Individual awards were expected to range from a floor of $500,000 to a ceiling of $2,000,000, indicating that USAID was seeking medium-sized programs large enough to operate in complex urban environments but still allowing multiple implementers to cover different locations or approaches. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, so applicants would not be required to contribute their own funds as a condition of eligibility, which can make participation more accessible to a wider range of organizations.
The anticipated period of performance for each award was no less than one year and no more than three years. However, the announcement also notes that, depending on performance, need, and available funding, USAID could extend the period by one or two additional years. That structure signals an interest in sustained prevention efforts, while still keeping continuation dependent on demonstrated results and continued strategic relevance.
Eligibility was described as unrestricted, meaning the opportunity was open to any type of entity, subject to any additional clarifications that might have appeared in the full announcement. This typically includes local and international nonprofits, nongovernmental organizations, academic institutions, private entities, and potentially other qualified organizations capable of carrying out public health programming in Ethiopia.
Key administrative details include the funding opportunity number APS 663 08 007 and a posting date of December 19, 2007. The original closing date was November 30, 2008, but the current closing date listed was July 31, 2008, suggesting the deadline was moved earlier at some point during the posting period. The archive date is October 30, 2008, indicating the opportunity is no longer active. For applicants who had trouble accessing the full announcement, the contact listed was Marie Claire Sow, Senior Assistance Specialist at USAID Addis Ababa, with phone number 202-216-6203 ext. 421 and email mcsow@usaid.gov.
Overall, this APS was designed to expand and diversify the pool of implementing partners supporting PEPFAR in Ethiopia by funding targeted HIV prevention programming for at-risk groups in high-prevalence urban settings, using a competitive, stepwise application process and offering multi-year funding with the possibility of extension based on results and resources.
