Opportunity Summary:
The Strengthening HIV/AIDS Continuum of Care Services opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number RFA 641 15 000010) is a USAID Ghana (USAID Accra) funding notice focused on improving health outcomes by reinforcing the HIV/AIDS continuum of care. In practical terms, the continuum of care generally refers to the full set of services needed to address HIV comprehensively, from testing and diagnosis through linkage to care, initiation of treatment, retention in care, and long-term viral suppression, often alongside related support services. The opportunity is categorized under "Health" and uses a cooperative agreement as the funding instrument, which typically means the recipient would implement program activities with substantial involvement from the U.S. Government in areas such as technical direction, coordination, or monitoring during implementation.
USAID anticipated making one award under this notice, with an estimated total funding amount of $18,500,000. The award structure is straightforward: the ceiling and floor are both listed as $18,500,000, indicating the agency expected a single award at that full amount rather than a range of possible award sizes. The opportunity includes a cost-sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants were expected to contribute a portion of resources toward the program (for example, cash contributions or allowable in-kind support), consistent with the terms described in the full announcement.
Eligibility was broad and essentially unrestricted, subject to any additional clarifications in the official notice. Eligible applicants included any qualified U.S. or non-U.S. non-governmental organizations, including private voluntary organizations and for-profit entities, as well as public international organizations. USAID also explicitly encouraged applications from "new partners," meaning organizations that had not previously received USAID financial assistance were welcomed to apply, which signals an openness to expanding the partner base beyond established implementers.
Key timing information shows the opportunity was posted and created on August 13, 2015, with an original and current closing date of October 13, 2015. The opportunity was later archived on November 12, 2015, indicating it is no longer open for applications. The CFDA number associated with this funding is 98.001, which corresponds to USAID Foreign Assistance for Programs Overseas, a standard listing for USAID assistance programs.
For applicants or interested parties who had trouble accessing the full announcement, the point of contact listed was Harriet Luwemba, Senior Acquisition Assistance Specialist at USAID Accra, reachable by phone at (233) (302) 741 200 or by email at accracontract@usaid.gov.
