Opportunity Summary:
The USAID Nigeria funding opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number USAID NIGERIA 620 08 002 APS) sought to support a network of civil society organizations and faith-based organizations to expand and strengthen HIV/AIDS prevention, care, and treatment services in Nigeria under the U.S. President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR). Structured as an Annual Program Statement (APS) and implemented through cooperative agreements, the call was designed to fund multiple partners that could deliver community-centered HIV programming while also building longer-term local capacity and systems. USAID anticipated making up to eight awards, and the program did not require cost sharing or matching.
The scope of work emphasized a broad, integrated response to HIV/AIDS rather than a single-service approach. A central priority was strengthening the capacity of indigenous Nigerian organizations to plan, manage, and deliver effective HIV/AIDS services within their own communities. In addition to institutional capacity building, the opportunity prioritized compassionate, comprehensive support for AIDS orphans and vulnerable children, recognizing the social and economic impacts of the epidemic on households and child welfare. The program also aimed to improve the quality of life for people living with HIV and their families through care and support services, including home-based care, which often serves as a practical way to reach individuals who face barriers to facility-based services.
Prevention was another major focus area, particularly reducing HIV transmission among youth, couples, and populations considered most at risk. This reflects an intention to combine behavioral, community, and targeted prevention strategies alongside care and treatment. The opportunity also encouraged "wrap-around" services that address underlying vulnerabilities and treatment adherence challenges, such as food and nutrition support, which can be critical for improving health outcomes and stabilizing affected families. Finally, the program extended beyond direct service delivery to include strengthening the legal, policy, and institutional frameworks that protect and support orphans and vulnerable children at both national and sub-national levels, signaling interest in reforms, coordination mechanisms, and improved protection systems.
Eligibility was intentionally broad, allowing a wide range of organizations to submit concept papers, including registered Nigerian indigenous organizations, U.S. and non-U.S. NGOs, faith-based and community-based organizations, foundations, private organizations affiliated with public academic institutions, parastatals, professional organizations, non-profits, and for-profit entities willing to forgo profit. The announcement was posted February 1, 2008, with a closing date of January 31, 2009, and was administered by USAID in Abuja, Nigeria. For access issues, the listing provided a contact point at USAID Nigeria: Samuel Nwanokwu, Senior Acquisition Specialist (Phone: 234 9 461 9300).
