Opportunity Summary:
The USAID grant opportunity titled "Optimizing Comprehensive HIV/AIDS Services in Tanzania Program" was designed to support the Government of Tanzania's HIV/AIDS strategies and guidelines while also advancing PEPFAR's goal of maintaining and scaling up priority HIV services. Through this funding, USAID aimed to help strengthen and sustain access to comprehensive, high-quality, and cost-effective HIV prevention, care, and treatment services across both health facilities and community settings. The focus is not only on expanding services, but on making existing systems work better through efficiency improvements, integration of services, stronger patient support mechanisms, and long-term sustainability planning.
The opportunity was issued as a discretionary cooperative agreement under USAID's foreign assistance programming (CFDA 98.001) and fell under the health sector. USAID anticipated making up to three awards, with an estimated total funding amount of $30,000,000. Individual awards were expected to range between $8,500,000 (floor) and $18,500,000 (ceiling). There was no cost-sharing or matching requirement, which meant applicants were not required to contribute their own funds as a condition of eligibility. The announcement was posted on April 29, 2011, and closed on May 30, 2011, with an archive date of June 29, 2011.
Eligibility centered on organizations with an established presence and demonstrated capacity in Tanzania, specifically targeting existing Tanzanian non-state actors such as civil society organizations (CSOs) and faith-based organizations (FBOs). Both for-profit and not-for-profit organizations could apply, but governments and government-owned entities were excluded. The emphasis on "proven technical and administrative capacity" signals that USAID expected applicants to already have functioning systems for program delivery, financial management, compliance, monitoring, and reporting, rather than relying on the award to build these capabilities from scratch.
Programmatically, applicants were expected to present a clear approach for how USAID support would be used strategically and sustainably in four main areas. First, the program sought to optimize access to comprehensive, high-quality treatment, care, and support services delivered through both facilities and community platforms. This included improving efficiency and integrating services so clients can receive more complete care with fewer barriers and less fragmentation. Second, the opportunity emphasized strengthening retention, follow-up, and referral systems at both facility and community levels, reflecting a priority on keeping clients engaged in care, reducing loss to follow-up, and ensuring that referrals actually result in successful service uptake. Third, USAID expected applicants to invest thoughtfully in technical and managerial capacity and in the systems that support frontline programming, meaning improvements in planning, supervision, data use, quality improvement, supply and logistics coordination, and organizational management functions that keep services consistent and accountable. Fourth, a major long-term objective was to diversify funding and reduce dependence on U.S. government resources, with applicants expected to propose realistic strategies to broaden their funding base and strengthen financial resilience to support continuity of HIV services over time.
The grant was managed by USAID in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. The contact listed for assistance accessing the full announcement was Samuel Kiranga, an acquisition specialist, reachable by phone at 2668503.
