Opportunity Information: Apply for CDC RFA GH20 2063
This funding opportunity (CDC RFA GH20-2063) is a PEPFAR-supported cooperative agreement from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), focused on providing technical assistance to the Government of Tanzania (GOT) and key public health institutions (PHIs) to strengthen Tanzania's health system and sustain progress in the national HIV response. It is designed to help Tanzanian public sector institutions lead, manage, and continuously improve HIV program implementation as services expand and the country works toward achieving and maintaining HIV epidemic control. The opportunity is listed as discretionary funding and is open to an unrestricted pool of applicants, meaning any entity may apply as long as it meets any eligibility clarifications contained in the full notice.
The program anticipates approximately $4,000,000 in total funding for Year 1, contingent on the availability of funds, and CDC expected to make up to two awards. An unusual feature of the listing is that the "Award Ceiling for Year 1" is shown as $0 (none), which typically signals that the ceiling is not specified in the notice summary and that applicants should rely on the total anticipated funding level and the detailed NOFO instructions for budgeting expectations. Applications were due March 21, 2020, submitted electronically by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time. The associated CFDA numbers are 93.067 and 93.318.
The core purpose of the award is to deliver technical assistance that builds institutional capacity within Tanzania's public health architecture, particularly the mainland Ministry of Health, Community Development, Gender, Elderly and Children (MoHCDGEC); the President's Office Regional and Local Government (PORALG); and other mainland departments and agencies with responsibility for managing elements of the HIV/AIDS response. The NOFO emphasizes that as the GOT and PEPFAR scale and refine HIV services, government-led systems must keep improving to ensure services remain high quality, efficiently managed, and resilient enough to sustain epidemic control over time. Rather than focusing on direct service delivery, the effort is aimed at strengthening the public institutions that plan, oversee, monitor, and guide the response.
A major element of the work involves supporting the government entities that monitor and guide HIV program implementation and that secure and manage critical inputs needed for effective delivery of services. The notice highlights several MoHCDGEC functions with specific mandates tied to HIV outcomes, including Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E), human resources development and management, quality improvement (QI) and continuous quality improvement (CQI), diagnostic services, and information and communication technology (ICT). In practice, this framing points to assistance that may include strengthening data systems and routine reporting, improving workforce planning and performance management, institutionalizing QI methods to raise service quality, enhancing laboratory and diagnostic networks that underpin HIV testing and treatment monitoring, and improving digital systems that support program oversight and decision-making.
The expected results of the technical assistance are tied directly to HIV service performance and sustainability: accelerating the provision of comprehensive, high-quality HIV/AIDS services; ensuring continuity of services; reducing new infections; and improving quality of life for people living with HIV. The model described is one where recipients bring a range of specialized technical skills and support modalities and then progressively transition those capabilities to Tanzanian public health institutions. This transition focus is central to the sustainability goal: the recipient is expected not only to provide expertise, but also to strengthen systems and develop local capacity so that PHIs increasingly own, operate, and maintain the functions needed to manage the HIV response effectively.
Finally, the notice underscores that the technical assistance delivered under this award should be responsive to needs that are jointly identified and prioritized by stakeholders, reflecting a collaborative approach consistent with a cooperative agreement. That means the recipient should be prepared to work closely with GOT counterparts, CDC, and other partners to align assistance with the most pressing gaps and the evolving priorities of the national HIV program, while keeping the overarching aim in view: a stronger, government-led health system capable of sustaining HIV epidemic control.Apply for CDC RFA GH20 2063
