Opportunity Summary:

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), through its Procurement and Grants Office, issued a discretionary funding opportunity under PEPFAR titled "Strengthening Health Systems and Coordination for HIV/AIDS Prevention, Care and Treatment Programs in the Kingdom of Swaziland." The announcement is structured as a cooperative agreement, meaning CDC would expect substantial involvement alongside the recipient in planning, coordination, and technical direction rather than simply providing a pass-through grant. The opportunity is identified as CDC RFA PS09-911 and falls under CFDA 93.067 (Global AIDS).

The core goal is to help the Government of the Kingdom of Swaziland build a sustainable, well-coordinated national response to the HIV/AIDS epidemic by rapidly expanding innovative, culturally appropriate, and high-quality HIV prevention, care, and treatment services. While service expansion is part of the intent, the emphasis is clearly on strengthening the underlying systems that make HIV programming effective at scale and over time. In practical terms, that translates into building the organizational structures, workforce skills, and management processes needed to coordinate national HIV activities and to run key public health functions reliably.

Priority focus areas include improving the country’s capacity to coordinate and carry out laboratory systems, surveillance, strategic information activities, and broader policy and health system strengthening. This kind of scope typically covers the enabling environment for HIV programming: ensuring laboratory networks can support testing and treatment monitoring, strengthening surveillance to track the epidemic and program outcomes, improving data systems and analysis for better decision-making, and reinforcing policies and operational systems that support consistent, accountable implementation.

Funding was set at approximately $500,000 total, with an award ceiling of $500,000 and an expectation of roughly one award. There was no cost-sharing or matching requirement stated. The posted and creation date was March 31, 2009, with an original and current application closing date of May 29, 2009, and an archive date of June 28, 2009. The estimated award timing was stated as prior to September 30, 2009.

Eligibility is highly restricted: only the Ministry of Health and Social Welfare (MOHSW) under the Government of the Kingdom of Swaziland could apply. The announcement frames MOHSW as the lead government entity responsible for delivering HIV/AIDS prevention, care, and treatment services, and also as a primary recipient of external HIV funding. It notes that MOHSW was in the process of strengthening its management structures and systems to improve fiscal accountability and managerial leadership, specifically to better administer external funding for HIV/AIDS programs. This eligibility limitation signals that the award was intended to directly reinforce government stewardship, coordination, and institutional capacity rather than route funding through nongovernmental or academic partners.
