Strengthening Strategic Information, program implementation and Capacity Building in order to reduce morbidity and mortality in the Republic of South Africa under the President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR). | Apply Online

Opportunity Summary:

The grant opportunity titled "Strengthening Strategic Information, program implementation and Capacity Building in order to reduce morbidity and mortality in the Republic of South Africa under the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR)" is a continuation funding announcement issued by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). It sits within the broader PEPFAR framework and focuses on improving how HIV-related programs in South Africa are guided by data, implemented in practice, and supported through stronger institutional capacity, with the overall public health aim of lowering illness and death related to HIV/AIDS and associated conditions.

This opportunity is specifically structured as a Cooperative Agreement, which generally means CDC expects to have substantial involvement beyond simply providing funds. In practice, that typically implies ongoing collaboration, shared planning, technical assistance, performance monitoring, and alignment with CDC and PEPFAR priorities for HIV prevention, care, and treatment programming. The funding activity category is listed as Health, and the associated CFDA number is 93.067, which is commonly tied to CDC global HIV/AIDS activities under PEPFAR.

A central theme of the announcement is "strategic information," a term often used in PEPFAR and CDC programming to describe the systems and processes that generate, manage, analyze, and use data for decision-making. That can include strengthening routine health information systems, improving data quality, supporting surveillance and monitoring and evaluation, and ensuring that program managers and policymakers can translate data into operational improvements. The intent is to make program implementation more targeted and effective, identify gaps in service coverage or quality, and track progress toward reducing morbidity and mortality.

Alongside data and information systems, the opportunity emphasizes program implementation and capacity building. Program implementation support can involve improving the delivery of HIV services, strengthening management and coordination, supporting quality improvement approaches, and reinforcing the operational components that help clinics and programs function well at scale. Capacity building signals a focus on developing the skills, tools, and organizational systems needed for long-term sustainability, including workforce training, mentorship, governance, and strengthening institutions so they can maintain and improve HIV program performance over time.

Importantly, this is not an open competition for new applicants. The notice makes clear that the award is a continuation of funds intended only for grantees who were previously awarded under the earlier funding opportunity CDC-RFA-GH13-1340. In other words, eligibility is effectively limited to existing recipients of that prior award, and the purpose of this continuation is to sustain or extend the work already underway rather than initiate a brand-new portfolio with new partners.

From the source data, the funding opportunity number is CDC RFA GH13 134003CONT16, and the original closing date is listed as 2015-12-05, with a creation date of 2015-10-05. The award ceiling is shown as 0 and expected awards are not specified in the data provided, which often happens in continuation announcements where specific funding levels may be determined through internal allocations, year-to-year budget decisions, or negotiations tied to approved work plans rather than a standard competitive ceiling. The eligible applicants field is labeled "Others," but the accompanying description clarifies that only previously funded grantees under the referenced earlier announcement are intended to receive continuation support.

Overall, the opportunity is best understood as a mechanism for CDC, under PEPFAR, to continue supporting established partners in South Africa who are working on the backbone functions of an effective HIV response: producing and using high-quality data, strengthening implementation so services reach people efficiently and consistently, and building durable capacity so progress in reducing HIV-related sickness and death can be maintained and expanded.
