Opportunity Summary:
This funding opportunity (RFA No. 674-10-00040) is a USAID request for applications to run a five-year HIV Prevention of Mother to Child Transmission (PMTCT) program in the Kingdom of Swaziland (now Eswatini). Issued by the USAID Mission to Southern Africa (USAID Pretoria), the award is designed as a Cooperative Agreement, meaning the selected organization would not only receive funding but would also work in close coordination with USAID during implementation. The program is positioned within the broader U.S. Government HIV response and explicitly ties into PEPFAR-supported PMTCT activities already underway, with a focus on building on proven approaches rather than experimenting with untested models.
The core purpose is to implement effective, tested, comprehensive, and integrated HIV/AIDS care and treatment approaches that reduce HIV transmission from mothers to their infants and strengthen services for women and children. The opportunity emphasizes integration, suggesting that PMTCT is not meant to function as a standalone service but as part of a connected continuum that links prevention, maternal and child health services, HIV testing and counseling, antiretroviral treatment, and follow-up care. The program is also framed as directly supporting the Government of the Kingdom of Swaziland (GKOS) priorities, specifically its national emphasis on women, children, and prevention as central pillars for addressing the country s HIV epidemic.
USAID anticipated making one award under this announcement, with total estimated funding of USD 12,000,000. Notably, the award ceiling and floor are both listed as USD 12,000,000, which strongly signals that USAID expected a single, full-sized implementation partner and a relatively defined budget level for the complete scope of work. The assistance listing is CFDA 98.001 (USAID Foreign Assistance for Programs Overseas). The opportunity also includes a cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants were expected to contribute some portion of resources (cash or in-kind, depending on the RFA terms) alongside USAID funds.
Eligibility is broad and essentially unrestricted, open to U.S. and non-U.S. organizations. Eligible applicants include NGOs, private voluntary organizations, for-profit entities willing to forego profit, and public international organizations; faith-based and community organizations are also eligible if they meet the criteria. USAID explicitly encouraged applications from new partners as part of its broader aim to expand and diversify its implementing partner base and strengthen sustainability in the development ecosystem.
Key dates and submission details are clearly stated. The opportunity was posted June 21, 2010, with applications due by July 20, 2010 at 1600 Pretoria time. Questions had to be submitted by June 30, 2010, via email, and USAID indicated it would issue a Questions and Answers document and/or amend the RFA if any clarifications were important for all applicants. Primary contacts listed for inquiries were Leona Sasinkova (lsasinkova@usaid.gov) and Hossana Agedew (AgedewH@bw.cdc.gov), with additional contact details provided for Agedew as the regional agreement/assistance specialist. The announcement was later archived on August 19, 2010.
In practical terms, this solicitation sought a single capable implementing partner to lead a national-level PMTCT effort over five years, aligned with PEPFAR and GKOS priorities, and focused on delivering integrated HIV services that protect infants from HIV, improve maternal outcomes, and strengthen prevention and care systems serving women and children across Swaziland.
