Opportunity Summary:
This funding opportunity, titled "Supporting the Ministry of Health, County Health Management Teams, and Service Delivery Partners in Developing and Maintaining Health Information Systems Innovations in the Republic of Kenya under the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR)," is a U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) cooperative agreement designed to strengthen Kenya's health information systems (HIS) in support of HIV program goals. The overall focus is on helping the Government of Kenya and implementing partners use better data and better digital tools to improve HIV service delivery and health outcomes, specifically aligned with the global 90-90-90 targets (diagnose 90 percent of people living with HIV, treat 90 percent of those diagnosed, and achieve viral suppression for 90 percent of those treated). Rather than emphasizing stand-alone technology deployments, the opportunity is framed around practical HIS innovations that directly improve how HIV programs are managed and how patients are cared for.
At the core of the announcement is the idea that stronger information systems lead to better clinical and program decisions. The FOA prioritizes innovations that improve data quality (more accurate, complete, timely, and consistent data) and expand data access and use at all levels of the health system. This includes making data more usable for frontline patient care, routine reporting requirements, program monitoring and evaluation, clinical decision-making, cohort analysis (tracking groups of patients over time), and case-based surveillance (more granular tracking of individual cases to improve follow-up and public health response). In practice, these priorities point to the kinds of HIS work that make it easier to identify patients who miss appointments, monitor treatment outcomes, improve continuity of care across facilities, reduce reporting burdens, and strengthen accountability for results.
A defining feature of the opportunity is its emphasis on capacity building and sustainability. The FOA states that, unless an activity is specifically classified otherwise, the work should be carried out by building the capacities of Kenya's Ministry of Health (MOH), County Health Management Teams (CHMTs), and service delivery partners. This signals that the CDC expects the recipient to work through government structures and partner networks, transferring skills and institutional knowledge so that improvements can be maintained after external support decreases. In other words, the recipient is not only expected to implement or refine HIS solutions, but also to strengthen governance, technical skills, processes, and routines that keep systems functioning over time.
Administratively, this was issued by HHS/CDC (agency component listed as HHS-CDC-CGH) as a discretionary funding opportunity using a cooperative agreement mechanism. A cooperative agreement typically means the funder anticipates substantial involvement during implementation, such as collaboration on technical direction, alignment with national strategies, and ongoing performance oversight. The funding opportunity number is CDC RFA GH16-1628, the CFDA number is 93.067, and it falls under the "Health" funding activity category. The posting and creation dates are December 4, 2015, with an original and current closing date of February 4, 2016. The award ceiling is $5,000,000, with one expected award, indicating a single primary recipient would be responsible for coordinating a national or near-national scope of work rather than multiple smaller awards dispersed across organizations.
Eligibility is listed broadly as "Others," with direction to consult the additional eligibility information in the full notice, which usually means the competition may be open beyond standard categories but subject to specific criteria described in the complete FOA. Overall, the opportunity is best understood as a targeted investment to improve Kenya's HIV program performance by modernizing and strengthening the health information environment, while deliberately anchoring that progress in MOH and county-level capacity so that system improvements become routine, institutionalized, and durable.
