Opportunity Summary:

This funding opportunity, titled "Supporting the Implementation and Expansion of High Quality, Sustainable and Comprehensive HIV Prevention, Care and Treatment Programs in the Eastern South Region and Nairobi County of the Republic of Kenya under the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief," is a U.S. government public health grant announcement issued by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (HHS-CDC), through CDC's Center for Global Health. It is listed as a discretionary funding opportunity and is structured as a cooperative agreement, which typically means the CDC expects to have substantial programmatic involvement with the recipient during implementation (for example, collaborating on technical guidance, monitoring, evaluation, and strategic adjustments), rather than operating as a hands-off funder.

The core purpose of the announcement is to strengthen and expand comprehensive HIV programming in Kenya, specifically focused on the Eastern South Region and Nairobi County. The program is intended to reach people across the general population as well as key and priority populations, with a strong emphasis on improving outcomes along the full HIV service continuum. In practical terms, the opportunity targets several linked public health goals: increasing knowledge of HIV status by expanding and improving HIV testing and related services; preventing new HIV infections among both adults and children using evidence-based prevention approaches; delivering high-quality HIV clinical care and antiretroviral therapy (ART) services to those diagnosed; and improving treatment outcomes so that more people on ART achieve and maintain viral suppression. The stated long-term aim is to reduce HIV incidence and to decrease HIV-associated illness and deaths in Kenya by ensuring services are accessible, effective, and sustainable.

From a funding and administrative standpoint, the opportunity is identified by Funding Opportunity Number CDC-RFA-GH16-1701 and is associated with CFDA number 93.067. The announcement anticipated a single award (Expected Awards: 1), signaling that CDC was likely seeking one primary implementing partner (or one lead organization managing a consortium) to coordinate a large, integrated program across the target geographies. The maximum funding level listed is an award ceiling of $22,000,000, indicating a sizable investment designed to support broad implementation activities, potentially spanning clinical service delivery support, community-based prevention and testing strategies, systems strengthening, workforce and quality improvement efforts, and monitoring and evaluation functions needed to track progress toward testing coverage, treatment initiation, retention, and viral suppression.

The eligible applicant category is listed as "Others" with additional eligibility details referenced in the full announcement, which usually implies that eligibility may extend beyond traditional state or local governments and could include non-governmental organizations, universities, public/private entities, or other organizations capable of implementing large-scale HIV programs, depending on the specific criteria described in the complete FOA text. Key dates show the opportunity was posted on December 4, 2015, created the same day, and had an application closing date of February 4, 2016, with no extension noted (the original and current closing dates match). Overall, this FOA represents a PEPFAR-aligned investment intended to accelerate progress toward epidemic control by expanding high-quality, coordinated HIV prevention, care, and treatment services and by prioritizing measurable improvements in diagnosis, ART access, and viral suppression within the targeted regions of Kenya.
