Opportunity Information: Apply for 72061318RFA00002
The USAID grant opportunity titled "Going the Last Mile for HIV Contrl" (Funding Opportunity Number 72061318RFA00002) is a mandatory, open competition for a cooperative agreement focused on strengthening Zimbabwe's HIV response over a four-year period. Managed by the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) Mission in Zimbabwe (USAID-Harare), the activity sits within the health sector and is associated with CFDA number 98.001. The overall intent is to push Zimbabwe closer to HIV epidemic control by accelerating progress where gaps remain, while also protecting earlier gains so that reductions in new HIV infections can be sustained over time.
At the program level, the opportunity is designed around a clear outcome: sustaining a reduction in HIV incidence in Zimbabwe. To get there, the activity emphasizes "last mile" challenges, meaning the practical, on-the-ground barriers that prevent high-quality prevention services, data use, and coordination from reaching the people and places where they can have the biggest impact. The description highlights several core strategies. One is improving access to and uptake of quality HIV biomedical prevention services, specifically for targeted, high-risk populations. This points to an emphasis on ensuring that prevention interventions are not only available, but also acceptable, reachable, and consistently used by groups with elevated HIV risk, with attention to service quality and real-world delivery constraints.
Another major focus is strengthening national systems for evidence-based data analytics. This signals an investment in the tools, processes, and technical capacity needed to collect, manage, analyze, and use data for decision-making, such as identifying hotspots, tracking program performance, and adjusting approaches based on what is working. Related to that is improving coordination platforms, which suggests support for better alignment among government entities, implementing partners, and other stakeholders so that services and resources are not fragmented, duplicated, or misdirected. The opportunity also explicitly calls for employing innovative new technologies, implying that applicants are expected to bring forward modern, practical solutions that can improve prevention delivery, data systems, communication, targeting, or monitoring and evaluation in ways that are scalable and fit Zimbabwe's context.
Funding for the opportunity is substantial, with an award ceiling of $95,000,000 and an expectation of up to 10 awards. The instrument type is a cooperative agreement, which generally means USAID anticipates substantial involvement in the implementation process, including collaboration on planning, oversight, and technical direction compared to a standard grant. Eligibility is listed as unrestricted, meaning the competition is open to a wide range of entity types, subject to any additional conditions that may be stated in the full announcement under the eligibility section. The opportunity was created on April 25, 2018, and the original closing date for submissions was June 4, 2018, indicating it is a historical funding announcement rather than a currently open application window.
In practical terms, this funding opportunity is best understood as a large, multi-award effort to close remaining prevention and systems gaps in Zimbabwe's HIV response by improving biomedical prevention coverage among high-risk groups, upgrading national-level data analytics capacity for more evidence-driven programming, strengthening coordination mechanisms, and integrating technology-driven innovations that help move the country toward sustained epidemic control outcomes.Apply for 72061318RFA00002
