Opportunity Summary:

The "Most at Risk Population Prevention Program in Angola" was a USAID-funded cooperative agreement focused on reducing new HIV infections by targeting transmission among most at risk populations (MARPs) and their sexual partners. The central idea of the opportunity was to lower HIV incidence through prevention strategies that both change individual behavior and improve the broader policy and social environment that shapes risk. In practice, the program was designed to strengthen protective behaviors among MARPs and their partners, while also supporting civil society organizations to lead advocacy, build networks, and collaborate with the Government of the Republic of Angola (GRA) and other stakeholders at national and sub-national levels.

This opportunity was issued as a discretionary health funding action under a Cooperative Agreement, meaning the implementing partner would be expected to work closely with USAID with substantial involvement during planning and implementation, rather than operating as independently as under a standard grant. The solicitation anticipated a single award, with an estimated total funding amount of $5,600,000. The award ceiling matched the total estimated funding at $5,600,000, and the award floor was listed as $0. No cost sharing or matching funds were required, which typically makes the opportunity more accessible to a wider range of applicants.

Eligibility was listed as unrestricted, effectively open to any type of entity, subject to any additional eligibility clarifications that might have appeared in the full announcement. This broad eligibility approach often allows competition among local and international non-profits, universities, private firms, and other organizations with relevant technical capacity in HIV prevention, key population programming, and community-led advocacy.

The timeline for the solicitation shows it was posted and created on July 23, 2010, with an original and current closing date of August 23, 2010. The opportunity was archived on September 22, 2010, indicating it is no longer open for applications. The issuing agency is shown as USAID South Africa, Pretoria, which can occur when a regional platform manages procurement actions supporting programs in neighboring countries, including Angola.
