Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity (CDC RFA GH11-1104) is a PEPFAR-funded cooperative agreement from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) focused on strengthening HIV services in Kenya, specifically in Central Province. The program is designed to keep momentum going from an existing CDC-supported HIV clinical services and antiretroviral treatment (ART) platform and to broaden both the reach and the quality of HIV prevention, care, and treatment activities. While the work is expected to take place mainly in public-sector health facilities, the scope is not limited strictly to public sites, allowing implementers to support services wherever it makes practical sense to reach patients and strengthen systems in the province.
A central theme of the opportunity is local ownership and sustainability. Rather than relying on external implementing partners, CDC is explicitly directing resources and technical assistance to local, indigenous Kenyan organizations so they can lead implementation and scale-up themselves. The intent is not only to fund service delivery, but also to build durable organizational and technical capacity so that Kenyan institutions are equipped to manage, deliver, and continuously improve HIV care and treatment services over time. In practice, that means recipients would be expected to combine hands-on program implementation with structured capacity-building support, helping strengthen the local systems, staffing, management, and technical competencies needed to run high-quality HIV programs.
The grant supports comprehensive HIV programming, which typically includes the clinical and programmatic elements needed to prevent new infections, identify people living with HIV, link them to care, initiate and maintain ART, and provide ongoing clinical follow-up and support. Because the opportunity emphasizes high-quality HIV care, prevention, and treatment, it implies a focus on strengthening clinical services, improving continuity of care, and ensuring ART services are effectively delivered and expanded within the province. It also highlights technical assistance as a key component, signaling that awardees will likely work closely with CDC and other stakeholders to apply evidence-based approaches, improve service quality, and expand coverage in a coordinated way.
This funding mechanism is a cooperative agreement, which generally means CDC expects to have substantial involvement with recipients during implementation, compared with a standard grant where the funder has a more hands-off role. Under cooperative agreements, recipients typically carry out the day-to-day work, but they do so with ongoing collaboration, guidance, and technical input from CDC. That structure fits the stated purpose here: pairing funding with technical support and capacity building to improve and expand HIV services delivered by Kenyan organizations.
In terms of scale, the opportunity projected up to four awards and an estimated total funding level of $50,000,000. The notice lists no cost sharing or matching requirement, reducing the financial barrier for local organizations to participate. The award floor and ceiling are both listed as zero in the summary data, which usually indicates that exact award amounts are determined based on the full announcement details, program design, and budget review rather than being capped in the summary. The funding is categorized under health and is associated with CFDA number 93.067 (Global AIDS), aligning it directly with PEPFAR and broader U.S. global HIV/AIDS programming.
Eligibility is narrowly tailored to ensure the work is led by Kenyan entities rooted in the communities they serve. Applicants must be local, indigenous Kenyan organizations that are fully registered in Kenya. The opportunity defines “indigenous” in practical, operational terms: the organization must have originated in and be located in the geographic area it serves, serve the population in that area, and have a majority of its staff (senior, mid-level, and support) made up of Kenyan nationals. Eligible organization types include a wide range of Kenyan institutions such as public and private nonprofit organizations, universities and colleges, research institutions, hospitals, community-based organizations, and faith-based organizations, as long as they meet the indigenous and registration requirements.
The timeline in the source data shows the opportunity was posted February 2, 2011, with an original closing date of April 4, 2011, later extended to April 6, 2011, and archived May 4, 2011. The listing also notes that the “Additional Information” link is not active and directs applicants to consult the “Full Announcement” for complete requirements, which is where details like specific program objectives, required activities, reporting expectations, and budget guidance would normally be spelled out. For technical issues accessing the announcement, the contact point provided is the CDC Procurement and Grants Office Technical Information Management Section (TIMS) at 770-488-2700.
Overall, this opportunity is best understood as a major PEPFAR/CDC investment aimed at transitioning and expanding HIV service delivery capacity to Kenyan-led institutions in Central Province, pairing financial support with technical assistance so local partners can operate, grow, and sustain high-quality HIV prevention, care, and ART programs across primarily public health facilities.
