Opportunity Summary:
The funding opportunity titled "Support for Community Vital Registration in the Republic of Zambia under PEPFAR" is a continuation grant opportunity issued by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services through the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), specifically under CDCs Center for Global Health (CGH). It is tied to PEPFAR, the U.S. Presidents Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief, which often supports health system strengthening activities that improve the ability of countries to plan, target, and evaluate HIV and broader public health programs. The opportunity is listed under Funding Opportunity Number CDC RFA GH13 134904CONT17 and was created on September 26, 2016, with an original closing date of November 25, 2016.
This opportunity uses a Cooperative Agreement as the funding instrument. In practical terms, that typically means the CDC expects to have substantial involvement in the implementation, oversight, and technical direction of the funded activities rather than simply issuing a grant and stepping back. The activity category is Health, and it is associated with CFDA number 93.067, which generally corresponds to global HIV/AIDS-related assistance activities. The focus on "community vital registration" suggests the work is aimed at strengthening systems that capture vital events at the community level, particularly births and deaths, and potentially improving the completeness, quality, and timeliness of registration and reporting. In a PEPFAR context, this kind of support can be used to improve mortality reporting and other outcome tracking, which helps programs measure impact, identify gaps in service delivery, and better understand the health status of communities, including those affected by HIV.
The opportunity is categorized as "Continuation," indicating it is intended to continue or extend an existing program or set of activities rather than start an entirely new initiative from scratch. Continuation opportunities commonly build on prior work, established partnerships, and existing implementation structures in-country. The listing notes an expectation of 10 awards, implying CDC anticipated multiple funded recipients or implementing partners contributing to the overall objective of improving community-level vital registration support in Zambia.
Eligibility is listed broadly as "Others," with a note to consult the additional eligibility information in the full announcement text for clarification. That phrasing usually signals that eligibility may be limited to a specific class of applicants such as current award recipients, organizations with existing CDC cooperative agreements, entities operating in Zambia with relevant partnerships, or organizations meeting specific technical or programmatic criteria. Because the listing provided here does not include the detailed eligibility language, the safest interpretation is that applicants would have needed to review the full notice to confirm whether they were permitted to apply, particularly since continuation opportunities are often restricted.
The award ceiling is shown as 0, which typically means the public listing did not specify a maximum dollar amount per award, the ceiling was determined elsewhere, or the amount depended on available funds and negotiations under the cooperative agreement. This does not necessarily mean there was no funding; it more often reflects how the opportunity was posted in the public system or that budgets were managed under continuation increments.
Overall, the opportunity represents CDC/PEPFAR support aimed at strengthening the foundational data systems that help Zambia register and track vital events at the community level, with the broader goal of improving public health surveillance and program decision-making. By improving the ability to document births and deaths more reliably, such work can enhance health planning, resource allocation, and evaluation of HIV-related and other health interventions in the country.
