Opportunity Summary:

The grant opportunity titled "Strengthening Care and Support Services for Orphans and Vulnerable Children and their Families, plus HIV Prevention for Youth in the Republic of Côte d'Ivoire Under the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR)" is a U.S. government-funded health initiative managed by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (HHS-CDC). It was released as a discretionary funding opportunity under a cooperative agreement, meaning the CDC would not only provide funds but would also expect to have substantial involvement in guiding implementation, monitoring progress, and ensuring the work aligns with PEPFAR goals. The opportunity is identified as CDC RFA PS10-10290501SUPP16 and is associated with CFDA number 93.067, which generally covers CDC global HIV/AIDS-related assistance activities.

The core purpose of the project is to sustain and strengthen a package of HIV-related prevention and support services in Côte d'Ivoire, with a strong emphasis on youth, orphans and vulnerable children (OVC), and the families and caregivers who support them. Rather than launching an entirely new program, the description makes clear that this award is intended to continue ongoing activities, reinforcing established systems and expanding the durability and quality of services already in place. In practice, this kind of continuation funding typically focuses on maintaining service delivery, improving performance, and strengthening local structures so programs can remain effective over time.

A major component of the work is capacity building for organizations involved in service delivery and community support. The opportunity explicitly mentions strengthening social centers, community-based organizations (CBOs), faith-based organizations (FBOs), and the private sector. The goal of this organizational strengthening is sustainability, so that local partners have the skills, systems, and governance needed to manage programs, deliver services consistently, and maintain results beyond the life of the award. Capacity building in this context commonly includes improving management and leadership, financial and grants management, staff training, service quality assurance, referral systems, data collection and reporting, and building partnerships across sectors.

In addition to organizational strengthening, the program scope includes HIV "other prevention" activities (often abbreviated as OP), aimed particularly at youth and the general population. While the notice does not list specific interventions, OP under PEPFAR and CDC awards commonly includes evidence-informed prevention approaches such as community and behavioral interventions, risk-reduction education, linkage to testing and counseling services, and efforts that reduce vulnerability among adolescents and young people. The emphasis on youth suggests the project is designed to reach adolescents and young adults with targeted prevention and health promotion strategies that can reduce new infections and strengthen protective behaviors.

Another central element is the delivery of basic health care and support services for orphans and vulnerable children. OVC programming under PEPFAR typically addresses not only HIV risk and HIV-related needs, but also the broader social and health factors that affect vulnerable children and households. This can include strengthening access to essential health services, psychosocial support, caregiver support, case management, referrals to clinical services when needed, and coordination with community and social welfare structures. The opportunity also specifically mentions early childhood development activities, which signals attention to developmental outcomes for younger children, such as promoting healthy growth, cognitive and socio-emotional development, and improved caregiver-child interactions. Including early childhood development within an HIV and OVC framework is often intended to reduce long-term harm associated with poverty, illness, instability, and family disruption.

The funding parameters indicate a single expected award, with an award ceiling of $4,312,949. The opportunity was posted on October 28, 2015, created the same day, and carried a closing date of December 28, 2015. Eligibility is listed broadly as "Others," with the note that applicants should consult the additional eligibility information in the full announcement for clarification. This type of eligibility category often indicates that the competition may be open to a range of entities (for example, non-profits, non-governmental organizations, or other non-traditional partners), but with specific requirements or limitations detailed in the full funding notice.

Overall, the opportunity funds a continuation cooperative agreement designed to reinforce HIV prevention for youth and the general population while strengthening care, support, and developmental services for orphans and vulnerable children and their families in Côte d'Ivoire. It combines service delivery with long-term sustainability work by building the capacity of local institutions such as social centers and community or faith-based organizations, aiming to ensure that prevention and support systems remain strong and effective under the broader PEPFAR response.
