Opportunity Information: Apply for CDC RFA GH16 168602CONT17
This funding opportunity, titled "Strengthening Ownership and Sustainable Provision of Quality HIV/AIDS Services by the Harari Regional Health Bureau (HRHB) of the Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia under the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR)," is a U.S. government-supported public health grant action focused on sustaining and improving HIV/AIDS services in Ethiopia's Harari region. It is administered by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services through the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), specifically under CDC's global health programs, and it sits within the broader PEPFAR initiative, which is the U.S. government effort to support countries in controlling and ultimately ending the HIV epidemic.
The award is structured as a Cooperative Agreement, which typically means the CDC expects to have substantial involvement beyond simply providing funds. In practice, this kind of instrument often includes close technical collaboration, joint planning, ongoing performance monitoring, and alignment with PEPFAR priorities and reporting requirements. The program area is categorized under Health and is associated with CFDA number 93.067, a standard identifier used for U.S. federal assistance programs related to global HIV/AIDS activities.
This particular notice is labeled as a Continuation opportunity, which usually indicates it is intended to continue or extend an existing program rather than launch an entirely new, open competition. That framing aligns with the stated emphasis on strengthening "ownership" and ensuring the "sustainable provision" of quality HIV/AIDS services, language that often reflects a transition toward local leadership, management capacity, and long-term institutionalization of service delivery. The named implementing body in the title, the Harari Regional Health Bureau (HRHB), signals that the work is anchored in regional government systems in Ethiopia, with the goal of reinforcing public-sector stewardship of HIV/AIDS programming and maintaining service quality over time.
The opportunity was created on February 7, 2017, with an original closing date of April 7, 2017, defining the application window for this continuation action. The listing states an expectation of up to 10 awards, suggesting the CDC anticipated multiple funded components, sites, or partner arrangements under the continuation mechanism, though the exact structuring would typically be explained in the full announcement. The posted award ceiling is shown as 0, which in federal listings often means the ceiling is either not specified in the synopsis, is determined elsewhere in the full funding announcement or continuation documentation, or varies depending on final negotiations and available funds.
Eligibility is described broadly as "Others," with a note to consult an additional eligibility text field for clarification. In federal grant language, that phrasing often indicates that eligibility may be limited to certain organizations or entities named or defined in the full solicitation, such as existing recipients, specific government bodies, or organizations meeting particular criteria connected to the continuation. Given the continuation nature and the focus on HRHB, it is reasonable to interpret that the eligible applicant pool may be narrower than a typical open competitive grant, but the precise determination would require the full eligibility section referenced in the opportunity.
Overall, the opportunity centers on reinforcing locally owned, sustainable, and high-quality HIV/AIDS services within the Harari region under PEPFAR, with CDC providing financial support and active technical partnership through a cooperative agreement mechanism. The synopsis emphasizes continuity and sustained service delivery rather than a new pilot effort, positioning the work as part of an ongoing programmatic pathway toward stronger regional health system capacity and durable HIV service outcomes.Apply for CDC RFA GH16 168602CONT17
