Opportunity Summary:
This CDC grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number CDC RFA PS10-10116) is a PEPFAR-supported cooperative agreement focused on strengthening HIV prevention behavior change communication (BCC) in Ethiopia, specifically through technical assistance to a Comprehensive Peer Education Program and to the National AIDS Resource Center (NARC) network. The core aim is to reinforce HIV risk-reduction behaviors by linking peer-led education with accessible services for two priority groups: members of uniformed services (including the National Defense Force of Ethiopia and Federal Police) and students at Addis Ababa University (AAU). In parallel, the program is designed to shore up and expand a national network of AIDS Resource Centers (ARCs), supporting 15 existing centers while helping prepare for the establishment of 10 additional ARCs across the country.
A major programmatic feature is the continuation and refinement of the Modeling and Reinforcement to Combat HIV/AIDS (MARCH) approach. The announcement anticipates that a MARCH evaluation conducted in 2010 will inform a revised strategy that combines “modeling” and “reinforcement” methods. Modeling is expected to be delivered through a print serial drama (an entertainment-education format that embeds prevention messages in an ongoing narrative), while reinforcement is expected to come through outreach activities that help audiences translate messages into real-life behavior change. The revised MARCH strategy is intended to be implemented broadly across all commands of the National Defense Force of Ethiopia, among Federal Police members, and within the AAU setting, signaling an emphasis on consistent, standardized prevention messaging and programming across multiple institutional environments.
The award places heavy emphasis on capacity building and systems strengthening rather than only direct service delivery. The selected awardee is expected to provide technical assistance to local indigenous partners so they can plan, manage, and monitor BCC and health promotion activities more effectively. This includes strengthening partners’ abilities to run peer education programs that are coordinated with HIV-related services, and improving core management functions such as work planning, implementation oversight, monitoring and evaluation, and performance tracking. Another central expectation is support for the design and development of the print serial drama component and the standardization of interventions, which implies developing consistent tools, guidance, and approaches that can be used across sites and populations to improve quality and comparability of implementation.
From an administrative and funding standpoint, this is a discretionary funding opportunity with the CDC as the sponsoring agency and is funded under CFDA 93.067 (Global AIDS). It is structured as a cooperative agreement, which typically indicates substantial federal involvement during implementation (for example, collaboration on technical direction, monitoring, or program refinement). The opportunity anticipated a single award (Expected Awards: 1) with an estimated total funding amount of $3,000,000 and an award ceiling of $3,000,000, with no cost sharing or matching requirement. The opportunity was posted on March 17, 2010, with an original and current closing date of May 17, 2010, and an archive date of May 18, 2010.
Eligibility is broad and includes public and private nonprofit organizations, for-profit organizations (including small businesses and minority/women-owned businesses), universities and colleges, research institutions, hospitals, community-based and faith-based organizations, and various government entities. The listing also includes tribal organizations and governments, as well as non-U.S. (non-domestic) entities, reflecting the international focus of PEPFAR programming. State and local governments may apply directly or through a designated Bona Fide Agent, in which case documentation (a letter from the relevant government entity) is required to verify that status.
Overall, the grant is best understood as a national-level technical assistance award intended to improve the effectiveness, consistency, and reach of HIV prevention communication in Ethiopia by strengthening peer education systems and the ARC/NARC platform, while modernizing and scaling an entertainment-education plus outreach model (MARCH) across key uniformed-service and university populations.
