Opportunity Summary:
The Zimbabwe Prevention of Mother to Child Transmission of HIV (PMTCT) Program Phase II grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number RFA 613 12 000001) is a USAID discretionary funding solicitation focused on health programming in Zimbabwe, specifically aimed at preventing the transmission of HIV from mothers to their infants. The award is structured as a cooperative agreement, which generally means the funding agency expects substantial involvement in the implementation process compared with a standard grant. The opportunity was issued by USAID in Pretoria, South Africa, and points applicants to the full Request for Applications (RFA) for the complete technical scope, required activities, and application instructions.
This solicitation planned to make a single award with an estimated total funding amount of USD 60,000,000. Unusually, the award ceiling and award floor are both listed as USD 60,000,000, which signals that USAID anticipated one program at a fixed, full-scale funding level rather than multiple smaller awards or a variable range. The CFDA listing is 98.001 (USAID Foreign Assistance for Programs Overseas), and there is no cost-sharing or matching requirement stated, meaning applicants were not expected to contribute their own funds as a condition of eligibility, unless the RFA itself included additional expectations.
The timeline for the opportunity shows it was posted and created on May 14, 2012, with an original and final closing date of June 22, 2012, and an archive date of July 22, 2012. The eligible applicant category is shown as "Others," with the note that applicants needed to consult the RFA section on "Additional Information on Eligibility" for the precise definition of who could apply (for example, it may have specified particular types of organizations, consortia rules, registration requirements, or geographic or institutional qualifications). Likewise, the eligibility details and the program description are referenced as "See RFA," indicating that the publicly visible synopsis is intentionally limited and that the full announcement contained the substantive requirements, performance expectations, and evaluation criteria.
For organizations that could not access the announcement electronically, the point of contact listed was Jodie Dille, Assistance Specialist at USAID Pretoria, reachable by phone at 27124522006 and by email at jdille@usaid.gov.
