Opportunity Summary:
The USAID/Zambia Community HIV Prevention Project (Z CHPP) grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number RFA 611 15 000010) is a USAID health funding solicitation designed to expand the uptake of proven, high impact HIV prevention services and encourage protective behaviors among populations considered at higher risk in selected provinces of Zambia. The central aim is community level HIV prevention, with an emphasis on increasing adoption and consistent use of services and behaviors that reduce HIV transmission. This opportunity was issued by USAID in Lusaka, Zambia, and reflects a programmatic focus on improving prevention outcomes through targeted, community oriented interventions rather than broad, untargeted programming.
The award mechanism is a Cooperative Agreement, which generally means USAID expects substantial involvement during implementation, such as collaboration on work planning, technical direction, monitoring, and adaptive management. The opportunity falls under the discretionary funding category and is associated with CFDA 98.001 (USAID Foreign Assistance for Programs Overseas). USAID anticipated making a single award, with an estimated total funding amount of USD 24,990,000, which is also listed as the award ceiling. The award floor is USD 1, indicating that proposals could be technically responsive at smaller levels, although the presence of a ceiling matching the total estimate and the expectation of one award suggests USAID intended a large, comprehensive project implemented by one prime recipient.
Cost sharing or matching is required, meaning applicants were expected to contribute a portion of project costs through cash or in kind resources, consistent with the specific rules and definitions in the full announcement. Eligibility is broadly open (unrestricted) but clarified to include U.S., Zambian, and other non U.S. non governmental organizations, private voluntary organizations, and private non profit organizations, as well as for profit companies willing to forego profits under the award. Universities, research organizations, professional associations, and relevant special interest associations are explicitly included, and faith based and community organizations are also eligible. USAID also signals a preference for expanding and diversifying its partner base, encouraging applications from new partners as part of its broader development sustainability goals.
Key timeline details show the opportunity was posted on March 6, 2015, with a closing deadline of April 16, 2015 at 12:00 PM Zambian time. The record indicates it was archived on May 16, 2015. For applicants needing help accessing the full announcement, the listed point of contact was Elizabeth Chisala, Procurement Assistant, reachable by phone at 260 211357338 or by email at oaa solicit lusaka@usaid.gov, with additional materials available through the Grants.gov link referenced in the notice.
