Opportunity Summary:

This grant opportunity, titled "Rapid Strengthening and Expansion of Integrated Social Services for People Infected and Affected by HIV/AIDS in the Republic of Mozambique under PEPFAR," is a U.S. CDC-funded cooperative agreement designed to strengthen Mozambique's national response to HIV/AIDS by expanding integrated social services and improving connections to clinical HIV services. The core idea is to help build an indigenous and sustainable system, meaning local institutions and personnel are supported to lead and maintain the work long-term rather than relying indefinitely on outside implementers. The program places special focus on rural and other underserved communities, where access to prevention, counseling and testing, and treatment services is often limited and where stronger community-based support can have a major impact.

The funding announcement emphasizes rapid expansion of innovative and culturally appropriate interventions. In practice, that means scaling up approaches that fit Mozambican community realities, including local languages, norms, and the day-to-day barriers families face when dealing with HIV. While the announcement sits within a health funding category, its distinguishing feature is the strong social services angle: supporting households and communities affected by HIV, reducing vulnerability, and ensuring people are connected to the right mix of psychosocial support, community follow-up, and health services. A key theme is tighter linkages between social support and the health system, particularly HIV counseling and testing and HIV treatment services, so that social service contacts can serve as a bridge into diagnosis and care rather than operating in parallel.

The cooperative agreement is structured to support activities and training for staff under Mozambique's Ministry of Women and Social Action (MMAS). MMAS is identified as the lead government body responsible for coordinating care for orphans and vulnerable children and for organizing home visits that provide psychosocial and community support to people infected and affected by HIV/AIDS. The program is intended to enhance MMAS's ability to coordinate and manage these HIV-mitigating activities, which includes building coordination mechanisms, improving service integration, and strengthening the ministry's capacity to work effectively across sectors. Because HIV-related needs often span healthcare, child protection, food and economic vulnerability, and community support, the announcement highlights that MMAS will need to collaborate with multiple organizations providing basic social services and also partner closely with the Ministry of Health to avoid duplication and ensure smooth integration of services.

From an administrative standpoint, the opportunity is identified as CDC RFA PS10-1077 under CFDA 93.067 (Global AIDS) and is categorized as discretionary funding using a cooperative agreement mechanism. A cooperative agreement typically implies substantial involvement from the funding agency compared with a standard grant, often including technical collaboration, joint planning, performance monitoring, and support for implementation quality. The announcement projected one expected award with an estimated total funding amount of $1,500,000 and indicated there was no cost sharing or matching requirement. The original posting date was January 26, 2010, with the closing date extended to April 30, 2010, and an archive date of May 30, 2010.

Eligibility is presented in a specialized way: rather than a broad open competition, the text underscores that the Government of Mozambique has assigned overall responsibility to MMAS for the coordination functions central to this work, and that MMAS will need to work with a range of partner organizations and with the Ministry of Health. In other words, the program is fundamentally designed to reinforce the government-led coordination role of MMAS while supporting the practical delivery and integration of prevention, care, and treatment-related support services through partnerships.

For applicants or parties needing assistance obtaining the full announcement, CDC provided a procurement/grants office contact: PGO TIMS at 770-488-2700 and a general email point of contact. Overall, the opportunity is best understood as an effort to quickly scale integrated, community-grounded HIV social support services in Mozambique and to strengthen the national coordination capacity of MMAS so that vulnerable children, affected families, and people living with or impacted by HIV are better supported and more reliably connected to testing and treatment services.

The opportunity is titled "Rapid Strengthening and Expansion of Integrated Social Services for People Infected and Affected by HIV/AIDS in the Republic of Mozambique under PEPFAR."

Who is funding this opportunity?

This is a U.S. CDC-funded cooperative agreement under PEPFAR, aligned with the Global AIDS program (CFDA 93.067).

What is the main purpose of the program?

The program is designed to strengthen Mozambique's national response to HIV/AIDS by rapidly expanding integrated social services and improving linkages between community-based support and clinical HIV services (especially HIV counseling and testing and HIV treatment services).

What makes this opportunity different from a typical health-focused HIV award?

While it sits within a health funding category, the distinguishing feature is the strong social services emphasis. It focuses on household- and community-level support (including psychosocial support and community follow-up) and on making social service contacts a practical bridge into HIV diagnosis and treatment, rather than operating separately from the health system.

What populations and settings are prioritized?

The opportunity places special focus on rural and other underserved communities in Mozambique, where access to prevention, counseling and testing, and treatment services is often limited and where expanded community-based support can have a major impact.

What does "integrated social services" mean in this announcement?

Based on the description provided, "integrated" refers to social services that are closely connected to the health system and coordinated across sectors, so people infected and affected by HIV/AIDS can receive psychosocial and community support while also being connected to HIV counseling and testing and HIV treatment services.

How does the program plan to improve connections to clinical HIV services?

The announcement emphasizes tighter linkages between social support and clinical HIV services. Social service interactions (such as community support and home visits) are intended to serve as entry points and referral bridges into HIV counseling and testing and into treatment services, helping reduce gaps between community support and formal care.

What is meant by "rapid expansion" in this opportunity?

The funding announcement emphasizes quickly scaling up innovative and culturally appropriate interventions. In practice, this means expanding approaches that fit Mozambican community realities (including local languages, norms, and common day-to-day barriers faced by families affected by HIV).

What is meant by "innovative and culturally appropriate interventions" here?

The description indicates that interventions should align with Mozambican community realities, including language and cultural norms, and should address practical barriers households face when dealing with HIV. The emphasis is on approaches that can be scaled rapidly while remaining locally relevant.

What does "indigenous and sustainable system" mean in the context of this award?

It refers to building a system led and maintained long-term by Mozambican institutions and personnel, rather than relying indefinitely on external implementers. The goal is to support local leadership, capacity, and durable coordination structures.
