Opportunity Summary:
This funding opportunity, titled "Provision of HIV/AIDS Treatment Services by Local Indigenous Entities in the United Republic of Tanzania under the President s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR)," was issued by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) as a discretionary cooperative agreement. The overall goal is twofold: first, to keep HIV/AIDS prevention, care, support, and treatment services running smoothly in Tanzania where those services had already been started under earlier PEPFAR-funded HHS/CDC and HHS/HRSA clinical and antiretroviral treatment programs; and second, to deliberately build the technical and organizational capacity of Tanzanian institutions that will increasingly take responsibility for delivering and managing HIV care and treatment services. A central theme throughout the announcement is continuity of lifesaving services for people living with HIV (PLWH) while the implementation role shifts from international partners to Tanzanian-led organizations.
A major purpose of the program is to support an intentional transition in who implements HIV care and treatment activities. Historically, many large-scale HIV service delivery programs were operated by international partner organizations using U.S. government treatment mechanisms. This FOA is designed to create and strengthen a cadre of local and indigenous Tanzanian implementers that can take over those functions without causing disruptions that could threaten patients health. The CDC emphasizes that the transition cannot come at the cost of service interruptions; grantees are expected to sustain existing care and treatment activities and continue scaling them up, all while transferring operational know-how, systems, and management capacity to local entities.
Capacity development is not presented as a side activity but as a core deliverable. The announcement highlights technical capacity development for Tanzanian entities such as regional and local health teams, implying hands-on strengthening in areas needed to run HIV clinical services at scale. While the text does not list every capacity-building topic, the intent is clear: grantees should help local structures become capable long-term owners of HIV care and treatment programming, which supports sustainability beyond external technical assistance. The broader strategy aligns with PEPFAR goals of prevention, care, and treatment, and it frames local institutional strengthening as essential for durable public health systems.
The FOA also stresses coordination within PEPFAR, describing it as an interagency initiative where implementation efficiencies come from agencies working together and avoiding duplicative funding. In practice, this means applicants are expected to understand how PEPFAR partners coordinate in Tanzania and to design their technical and programmatic approach in a way that fits the country-level division of labor. Proposals that demonstrate awareness of this coordination, and that avoid parallel or redundant activities already covered by other agencies or partners for the same populations, are positioned as more competitive because they support PEPFARs efficiency goals.
Eligible applicants are strictly local indigenous organizations fully registered in Tanzania. The eligibility list includes local indigenous public and private nonprofit organizations, universities and colleges, research institutions, hospitals, community-based organizations, and faith-based organizations. The announcement also notes that the FOA focuses on provision of HIV services and strengthening capacity among local Tanzanian organizations, which may include regional and district government, local universities, and NGOs. This framing signals that the program is meant to support Tanzanian-led delivery models and strengthen local institutional structures rather than relying on externally managed implementation.
Administratively, the opportunity is identified as CDC RFA GH11 1127 under CFDA 93.067 (Global AIDS). The posted date was Feb 14, 2011, with an original closing date of Apr 13, 2011, later extended to Apr 27, 2011, and an archive date of May 27, 2011. The estimated total funding amount listed is 600,000, with an expected number of awards of 3, and there is no cost sharing or matching requirement. The award ceiling and floor are both shown as 0 in the listing, which typically indicates those limits were not specified in the summary record and would need to be confirmed in the full announcement. Because this is a cooperative agreement, recipients should expect substantial involvement from CDC compared with a standard grant, usually through joint planning, technical guidance, and monitoring expectations consistent with PEPFAR program oversight.
For access and support, the listing points applicants to the "Full Announcement" section (not provided as an active link in the excerpt) and provides a CDC Procurement and Grants Office contact through the Technical Information Management Section (TIMS) at 770 488 2700 for assistance accessing the complete documentation.
