Opportunity Summary:
The Strengthening TB and HIV/AIDS Response in the South Western Region of Uganda (STAR SW) opportunity is a USAID/Uganda health funding announcement designed to expand and improve tuberculosis (TB) and HIV/AIDS services across nine districts in Uganda's southwestern region. The program is structured as a five-year cooperative agreement, which typically means the recipient would not only implement activities but would also work closely with USAID through substantial technical involvement, joint planning, and ongoing coordination to achieve the project goals. The central purpose is to increase access to services, expand service coverage, and boost the actual utilization of high-quality, comprehensive TB and HIV/AIDS prevention, care, and treatment.
Financially, the opportunity signals a large-scale investment. The estimated total funding amount is listed as $33,000,000, with an award floor of $33,000,000 and an award ceiling of $50,000,000, indicating USAID expected a single award in at least the $33 million range and potentially up to $50 million depending on final scope, negotiations, or performance and funding availability. Only one award was anticipated, suggesting USAID intended to select a single lead organization (often working with sub-partners) to deliver an integrated regional response rather than splitting the work across multiple prime recipients. The funding is associated with CFDA (now commonly referred to as Assistance Listing) number 98.001, which covers USAID foreign assistance programs overseas.
In terms of eligibility, the announcement is described as unrestricted, meaning it was open to any type of entity as an applicant, subject to any specific clarifications that may have appeared in the full solicitation text. This generally allows for applications from non-governmental organizations, universities, private voluntary organizations, for-profit entities where permitted, and other qualified institutions, including those that can demonstrate the technical, managerial, and financial capacity to operate a complex, multi-district public health program at scale. A cost sharing or matching requirement is noted as "Yes," meaning applicants were expected to contribute some portion of resources toward the project, either in cash or allowable in-kind contributions, as defined by the solicitation and federal assistance rules.
Key administrative details reflect the timing and status of the opportunity. The opportunity number is USAID UGANDA RFA 617 10 00003, and it was categorized as a discretionary funding opportunity using the cooperative agreement instrument under the health activity category. It was posted on January 5, 2010, with an original closing date of February 4, 2010, later extended to a current closing date of February 11, 2010. The archive date is March 6, 2010, indicating the opportunity is no longer active and was part of USAID's 2010 procurement and assistance cycle.
For applicants who had trouble accessing the full announcement, the contact person listed was Josephine Kitongo, identified as an A/A Specialist, with a phone number of 202-216-6234 and an email address of jkitongo@usaid.gov. The solicitation also included an additional information link referencing the same RFA number, which would have been the primary source for the detailed program description, technical requirements, expected results, monitoring and evaluation expectations, budget guidance, and submission instructions.
