Opportunity Summary:
The Health Outreach Program (HOP) is a USAID grant opportunity focused on expanding access to high-quality HIV prevention and tuberculosis (TB) prevention and treatment services for the people most at risk in Central Asia. The program covers four Central Asian Republics: Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, and Uzbekistan. Its central aim is to reduce the spread of HIV and TB, including HIV/TB co-infection, by improving how services are delivered and by strengthening the organizations that reach communities that are often underserved by traditional health systems.
The opportunity is designed to fund a single major project that blends technical assistance, training, and direct outreach. On the technical side, HOP is meant to help both government and non-governmental organizations improve their ability to plan, manage, and deliver effective HIV and TB interventions. This includes upgrading prevention services, increasing awareness, and building practical capacity so that these organizations can consistently reach most at risk populations (often referred to as MARPs) with relevant, evidence-based support. On the direct service side, the project emphasizes community mobilization and outreach strategies that help people access prevention and care earlier, seek health services when needed, and stay adherent to treatment when they are diagnosed.
A key theme throughout the announcement is the use of best practices and proven approaches for engaging MARPs. The program is not limited to clinical improvements; it also targets behavior and access barriers by promoting better health-seeking behavior and stronger treatment adherence, recognizing that outreach and trust-building are often decisive factors in controlling HIV and TB transmission. The overall approach is meant to connect community-level engagement with stronger institutional performance so that prevention and treatment efforts are more coordinated, scalable, and sustainable across all four countries.
From an administrative and funding standpoint, this is a discretionary opportunity issued by USAID (Kazakhstan USAID office in Almaty) under Funding Opportunity Number HE176-09-011, with the activity category listed as Health. The funding instrument is a Cooperative Agreement, which typically indicates substantial involvement by the funding agency during implementation compared to a standard grant. USAID anticipated making one award, with an estimated total funding amount of $15,000,000. The award ceiling and floor are both listed as $15,000,000, signaling that the program was structured around one award at that fixed level rather than a range of possible award sizes. Cost sharing or matching is required, meaning the recipient must contribute resources toward the project as defined in the full announcement.
Eligibility is described as unrestricted, meaning the competition was open to any type of qualified entity, subject to any additional clarifications in the official eligibility section of the full notice. The original closing date was July 5, 2009 at 10:00 AM Almaty time, later extended to July 7, 2009 at 10:00 AM Almaty time, and the opportunity archive date was August 6, 2009. For applicants who could not access the announcement electronically, USAID provided a point of contact: Natalia Portnyagina, Acquisition Specialist, reachable by phone at 7272504802 or by email at AlmatyAASolicitations@usaid.gov.
