Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity, issued by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) under PEPFAR, is a discretionary cooperative agreement focused on strengthening Lesotho's national health response to HIV/AIDS and tuberculosis through direct support to the Kingdom of Lesotho's Ministry of Health and Social Welfare (MOHSW). The opportunity is identified as Funding Opportunity Number CDC RFA PS09-924 and falls under CFDA 93.067 (Global AIDS). It was posted on March 31, 2009, with an application closing date of May 29, 2009, and it was later archived on June 28, 2009.
The program purpose is explicitly twofold. First, it aims to strengthen the MOHSW's overall capacity to deliver enhanced, continuous HIV/AIDS and TB services, with an emphasis on improving the reliability and quality of service delivery over time rather than short-term gains. This implies support for core health-system functions that keep prevention, care, and treatment activities running effectively, including the coordination mechanisms needed to sustain and scale services nationally.
Second, the opportunity targets human capacity development so the MOHSW can better coordinate and carry out essential technical and managerial functions tied to an effective national HIV/AIDS response. The announcement highlights several priority capacity areas: laboratory systems, surveillance, strategic information, policy development, and broader systems-strengthening activities. The approach is not limited to technical upgrades; it also emphasizes improving management capacity and building durable skills within the ministry and among frontline HIV/AIDS providers. Key methods mentioned include management strengthening, structured mentoring programs delivered at the point of service (meaning on-site, practical coaching where services are provided), and skill upgrading for HIV/AIDS providers. The announcement also includes long-term training and tuition assistance as allowable or intended mechanisms, signaling an investment in formal education and sustained professional development to ensure the response remains viable and locally led.
Funding for the award is relatively small and tightly scoped: the estimated total funding is $255,000, with an award ceiling of $255,000, and CDC anticipated making a single award. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement. Eligibility is restricted: assistance will be provided only to the Lesotho Ministry of Health and Social Welfare, and no other applications are solicited, meaning it is essentially a targeted, sole-recipient support action rather than an open competition.
For access issues related to the full announcement, the listed point of contact is the CDC Technical Information Management Section (PGOTIMS) at 770-488-2700.
