Opportunity Information: Apply for CDC RFA GH20 2056
This funding opportunity, titled "Maintaining and Strengthening Institutional Capacity of Maputo Province Health Directorate in Mozambique under the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR)," is a CDC cooperative agreement focused on reinforcing the ability of the Maputo Province Health Directorate (known locally as the Direccao Provincial de Saude, or DPS) to lead and manage the province's HIV response. The core purpose is not to create a new parallel HIV program, but to strengthen the provincial government institution that plans, coordinates, and supervises PEPFAR-supported HIV activities so they align with Mozambique Ministry of Health (MOH) policies, clinical guidelines, and patient retention strategies. The larger intent is to build a durable platform for government leadership and long-term ownership of the HIV response in Maputo Province, supporting sustained epidemic control rather than short-term gains.
The notice of funding opportunity (NOFO) is issued by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), under CFDA 93.067, and is categorized as discretionary health funding using a cooperative agreement mechanism. The cooperative agreement structure signals that CDC expects to have substantial involvement in the work, typically through technical collaboration, shared planning, and ongoing performance monitoring, rather than simply issuing a grant with minimal federal engagement. The opportunity is listed under Funding Opportunity Number CDC RFA GH20-2056, and it was originally posted on December 22, 2019, with an original application deadline of February 21, 2020 (electronic submissions due by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time). The listing indicates one expected award.
In terms of funding, the notice contains an important nuance: the "Award Ceiling for Year 1" is stated as 0 (none), while CDC simultaneously anticipates an approximate total funding amount of $350,000 for Year 1, contingent on the availability of funds. In practical terms, this usually means the NOFO does not set a maximum cap per applicant for Year 1 within the document metadata, but CDC still signals the approximate amount it expects to allocate in the first year of the award. The total is relatively modest compared with large-scale service delivery awards, which aligns with the institutional capacity-building emphasis: strengthening management, coordination, supervision, and systems that allow HIV services to function effectively at scale.
The program rationale is tied to the epidemiologic and service delivery significance of Maputo Province. The province is described as having an HIV prevalence of 22.9 and an estimated population of about 2.6 million, underscoring a heavy HIV burden. The notice also highlights that programmatic data show 57 health facilities in the province have historically provided antiretroviral therapy (ART) to roughly 90% of Mozambique's patients on ART. Whether interpreted as a concentration of high-volume ART sites within Maputo Province or as a reflection of how strategically important these facilities are to national performance, the implication is the same: ensuring these sites are properly supported and supervised is essential to Mozambique's ability to reach and sustain epidemic control targets. Because a large share of ART patients are served through these high-volume facilities, improvements in provincial planning, oversight, retention strategies, and adherence to MOH guidance can translate into major gains in continuity of treatment, viral suppression outcomes, and overall program stability.
Operationally, the NOFO centers on reinforcing DPS Maputo's institutional capacity to carry out core stewardship functions for HIV programming funded under PEPFAR. That includes the ability to plan activities, coordinate implementing partners and stakeholders, and supervise service delivery in line with national standards. The emphasis on retention strategies suggests a strong focus on keeping patients engaged across the care continuum, reducing treatment interruptions, and supporting quality improvement approaches that help facilities identify and address gaps in follow-up and adherence. The overall framing makes clear that strengthening the DPS is meant to reduce reliance on external actors over time, positioning the provincial health authority to lead the response with increasing autonomy and competence, while still coordinating closely with CDC and PEPFAR structures.
Eligibility is listed broadly as "Others," with instructions to consult the additional eligibility information in the full announcement text for clarification, which is typical for international cooperative agreements where eligibility may include certain types of organizations, institutions, or entities with relevant presence and capability. In summary, this opportunity is best understood as a targeted investment in provincial-level health governance and management capacity in Maputo Province, designed to improve the performance and sustainability of HIV services in one of Mozambique's most consequential ART service delivery settings, in alignment with MOH policy and with the strategic objective of long-term epidemic control under PEPFAR.Apply for CDC RFA GH20 2056
