Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "Local Nongovernmental Partnerships for Sustained Country Leadership in Zimbabwe under the Presidents Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR)" is a CDC-funded cooperative agreement designed to strengthen local civil society leadership in Zimbabwe's HIV/AIDS response. It is positioned as a supplemental investment under PEPFAR, with the central idea being that a strong, organized, and informed civil society can push for better policies, improve accountability, and help ensure that HIV programs and health systems respond to what communities actually need. Rather than focusing mainly on direct clinical service delivery, the opportunity emphasizes building the capacity and influence of local organizations so they can shape and sustain the national HIV response over time.
At a high level, the funding is meant to support the development and strengthening of Zimbabwean civil society organizations, including faith-based organizations, community-based organizations, professional associations, and regional or national networks. The goal is to help these groups engage in "country leadership" by advocating for effective health systems that are transparent and responsive to people infected with or affected by HIV/AIDS. In practical terms, that means enabling local organizations to participate meaningfully in policy discussions, monitor commitments made by government and other stakeholders, and communicate accurate information to the public in ways that improve understanding and uptake of HIV-related interventions.
The program in Zimbabwe is organized around two main intervention areas. The first intervention focuses on national-level advocacy and policy change. A major component is capacity building for civil society organizations so they can function as credible advocates and watchdogs, able to track promises and performance across the HIV sector and hold key actors accountable. This includes strengthening their ability to engage with policy processes, interpret program and budget information, and use evidence to push for improvements. Alongside this advocacy focus is a media and information component: the opportunity prioritizes improving the dissemination of accurate, current HIV information through the media so the public, implementers, and decision-makers share a common understanding of key interventions, program updates, and new innovations. The intent is to reduce misinformation, improve public awareness, and support consistent national messaging around HIV prevention and treatment.
The second intervention shifts from national platforms to the community level, with the aim of making communities more effective and organized actors in the HIV response. Zimbabwe is described as continuing to scale up core HIV services such as antiretroviral therapy (ART), prevention of mother-to-child transmission (PMTCT), and HIV testing and counseling (HTC), while also introducing voluntary medical male circumcision (VMMC) as an additional prevention strategy. The grant recognizes that Zimbabwe has a strong track record of community mobilization, and it seeks to build on that by targeting efforts in 10 hard-to-reach and remote districts. These sites are meant to be selected in coordination with other partners already working in those areas, which suggests the work is expected to align with existing programs and fill gaps rather than operate in isolation. The community-focused activities are framed as complementary to ongoing scale-up efforts, implying a role in demand creation, community engagement, local accountability, stigma reduction, and helping communities navigate and support service uptake and continuity.
From an administrative standpoint, this opportunity was issued by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) as a discretionary funding opportunity using a cooperative agreement mechanism, meaning the funder is likely to have substantial involvement in program direction, monitoring, or technical collaboration compared with a more hands-off grant. It falls under the health category and is linked to CFDA 93.067 (Global AIDS). The funding opportunity number is CDC RFA GH14-1413, it was posted on May 14, 2014, and the application deadline listed is June 30, 2014 (with an archive date of July 30, 2014). The opportunity anticipated a single award, and it explicitly states there is no cost-sharing or matching requirement. While the public summary shows an estimated total funding amount and award ceiling/floor as 0, that typically indicates the figures were not populated in the summary fields rather than that no funding was available, and applicants would normally confirm award size details in the full announcement.
Eligibility is narrowly focused on local Zimbabwean entities, specifically local Zimbabwe non-governmental organizations and community-based organizations, with the broader eligibility language pointing applicants to additional eligibility details in the full text. The overall design strongly favors locally rooted organizations with credibility in advocacy, community mobilization, coalition-building, media engagement, or health systems accountability, especially those able to coordinate with other partners and operate effectively in remote districts. The contact listed for access issues is the CDC Procurement and Grants Office Technical Information Management Section (TIMS) at 770-488-2700.
