Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "Local Nongovernmental Partnerships for Sustained Country Leadership in Rwanda under the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR)" is a U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) cooperative agreement aimed at strengthening Rwanda-led, locally rooted responses to HIV for people living with disabilities (PLWDs). The core idea is to build sustainable Organizations of People Living with Disabilities so they can play a long-term leadership role in advocating for, shaping, and supporting the integration of HIV prevention, care, and treatment services into Rwanda's national health system, rather than relying on temporary or externally driven programs. The opportunity is framed around improving both access and quality of HIV-related services for PLWDs, recognizing that disability can create added barriers to information, prevention services, testing, clinical care, and consistent treatment.
A major focus is capacity building and institutional strengthening of PLWD organizations so they can effectively engage government systems and influence how services are delivered. This includes helping these organizations become durable and credible partners capable of policy and systems advocacy, participating in national planning, and ensuring disability-inclusive approaches are not treated as an add-on but as a standard part of routine HIV service delivery. By emphasizing sustained country leadership, the program aligns with PEPFAR priorities that push for stronger local ownership and the development of indigenous civil society partners who can continue the work beyond a single funding cycle.
The opportunity also highlights concrete service-delivery improvements. One intended result is an increased number of guidelines and trained providers addressing the intersection of disability and HIV, including prevention, care, and treatment services that work for PLWDs in Rwanda. This implies activities such as developing or adapting clinical and programmatic guidance, improving disability-sensitive counseling and communication practices, and ensuring providers are equipped to serve PLWDs respectfully and effectively. Another stated objective is improved quality of care, suggesting attention not only to coverage but also to how well services meet client needs, reduce stigma, and ensure continuity of treatment and follow-up.
In addition to improving provider-side readiness, the announcement emphasizes building PLWD capacity directly by increasing the number of PLWDs trained to provide HIV prevention, care, and treatment services. This points to a community-centered model where PLWDs themselves are trained as peer educators, navigators, outreach workers, or other service-support roles that can reduce barriers, improve trust, and make services more accessible. Training PLWDs to participate in delivering or supporting HIV services can also help address stigma and improve the relevance of messaging and support systems for people who may otherwise be overlooked by mainstream programming.
From an administrative standpoint, this was a discretionary funding opportunity using a cooperative agreement mechanism, meaning CDC would likely expect substantial involvement during implementation, such as technical guidance, monitoring expectations, and collaborative planning rather than a fully hands-off grant. It falls under the health activity category and is connected to CFDA 93.067 (Global AIDS). Only one award was expected. The funding opportunity number was CDC-RFA-GH14-1414. No cost sharing or matching was required. While the listing shows an estimated total funding amount and award floor/ceiling as 0, that typically indicates the amount was not specified in the summarized record rather than that no funds were available.
Eligibility was restricted to non-governmental, indigenous, registered entities located in Rwanda, meaning local Rwandan NGOs were the intended applicants, not foreign organizations or government bodies. The opportunity was posted May 7, 2014, created May 12, 2014, with a closing date that shifted from July 7, 2014 to June 27, 2014, and it was archived August 6, 2014. For assistance accessing the full announcement, the CDC Procurement and Grants Office Technical Information Management Section was listed as the contact point (phone 770-488-2700).
