Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "Strengthening HIV/AIDS Prevention for Most at Risk Populations in Namibia" is a USAID-funded cooperative agreement focused on reducing HIV transmission in Namibia by expanding and improving services for populations at elevated risk. The core purpose is to strengthen the capacity of indigenous (locally based) organizations so they can deliver comprehensive HIV prevention programs and ensure stronger linkages into HIV care and treatment systems. The primary target groups identified as most at risk populations (MARP) are men who have sex with men (MSM), sex workers (SW), and the clients of sex workers, with specific mention of mobile and occupational groups such as truckers, seafarers, and miners. In practice, this means the program is intended to support on-the-ground organizations that can reach these groups with prevention services while also helping people who test positive or need services connect to clinical care and treatment.
From a funding and administrative standpoint, this is a discretionary funding opportunity under the health activity category, issued by USAID through its South Africa mission in Pretoria. The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which typically signals a more hands-on partnership model where the agency expects substantial involvement during implementation (for example, active collaboration on technical direction, monitoring, and coordination), rather than a more independent grant arrangement. The opportunity lists an expected total of five awards. The award ceiling and award floor are both stated as USD 5,400,000, indicating that the anticipated funding level per award is fixed at that amount rather than a range, and applicants should plan proposals around that specific scale. A cost sharing or matching requirement is also included, meaning applicants are expected to contribute some portion of resources (cash or allowable in-kind contributions) alongside USAID funds, consistent with the award conditions.
Eligibility is broad and includes both U.S. and non-U.S. entities. Qualified applicants may include non-governmental organizations (NGOs), private voluntary organizations (PVOs), for-profit companies that are willing to forego profit, and public international organizations. Faith-based and community organizations are explicitly included as eligible as long as they meet the stated criteria. This emphasis on indigenous organizational capacity suggests USAID is looking for applicants that can either directly implement as local organizations or demonstrate a credible approach to building sustainable local leadership, systems, and service delivery networks for HIV prevention and referral to treatment.
Timing details show the opportunity was posted on March 9, 2010, created April 19, 2010, and had an original and current closing date of April 20, 2010, with an archive date of May 20, 2010. The funding opportunity number is 674 10 0027, and it is associated with CFDA 98.001 (USAID Foreign Assistance for Programs Overseas). For applicants who had trouble accessing the full announcement electronically, the listed contact was Francinah Hlatshwayo, Acquisition Assistant Specialist at USAID Pretoria, with phone +27 12 452 2175 and email fhlatshwayo@usaid.gov.
Overall, the opportunity is designed to fund sizable, structured HIV prevention initiatives that prioritize key populations and bridge prevention with care and treatment linkages, while intentionally developing and reinforcing the capacity of local organizations to sustain and expand impact in Namibia.
