Opportunity Summary:
This funding opportunity, titled "Strengthening Local Ownership for the Sustainable Provision of Comprehensive HIV/AIDS Services by the Health Bureaus of Amhara and Tigray Regional States of the Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia under the Presidents Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief," is a U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) cooperative agreement designed to support HIV/AIDS program sustainability and increased local leadership in Ethiopia. It sits under the broader umbrella of the U.S. President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) and is framed around the idea that effective HIV responses work best when they are tailored to a host country’s needs and aligned with that country’s strategic plans and existing partnership structures. In practical terms, the announcement emphasizes CDC working alongside host-country institutions and other partners to assess program needs and then shape assistance in a way that strengthens the local systems responsible for delivering services.
The opportunity was released as a discretionary grant competition (Funding Opportunity Number: CDC RFA GH13-1311) using a cooperative agreement mechanism, which usually signals that CDC expects to have substantial involvement during implementation rather than simply issuing funds and stepping back. The activity category is health, and it is connected to CFDA 93.067 (Global AIDS). The overall intent is to reinforce the ability of the regional health bureaus in Amhara and Tigray to sustainably plan, manage, and deliver comprehensive HIV/AIDS services, with a particular focus on local ownership, meaning that regional public health authorities are positioned to lead and maintain services over time.
Funding was planned at an estimated total of $16,500,000, with an anticipated two awards, consistent with the two targeted regions. The stated award ceiling is $2,500,000, and the award floor is listed as $0, which generally indicates flexibility in award sizing depending on the final scope and budget determination. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, so applicants were not expected to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of receiving an award. Key dates show that the announcement was posted on January 29, 2013, with an application closing date of April 9, 2013, and an archive date of May 9, 2013, indicating it is an older, time-limited competition rather than an open, ongoing opportunity.
Eligibility is narrowly defined. The eligible applicants are the Amhara Regional Health Bureau and the Tigray Regional Health Bureau, reflecting the goal of directly building governmental capacity at the regional level rather than routing support primarily through external implementers. The announcement also allows for a bona fide agent arrangement, meaning that if the regional government designates another organization to apply on its behalf, that entity may submit the application as long as it provides a legal, binding agreement documenting that status. The notice specifies that this documentation must be attached in the application package (notably via the "Other Attachment Forms" when submitting through Grants.gov), which signals that CDC required clear proof of authority to apply and implement in lieu of the government bureau.
Overall, the grant can be understood as a PEPFAR-aligned investment intended to deepen the institutional capacity of Ethiopia’s regional public health leadership in Amhara and Tigray, so comprehensive HIV/AIDS services are not only delivered effectively in the short term but are increasingly managed, financed, coordinated, and sustained through local systems. The contact point for technical issues accessing the full announcement was the CDC Procurement and Grants Office Technical Information Management unit, reachable by phone at (770) 488-2700 or by email at pgotim@cdc.gov.
