Opportunity Information: Apply for CDC RFA GH19 1952
The grant opportunity titled "Strengthening Technical and Management Capacity of the Provincial Health Directorate of Nampula to Increase and Sustain Quality HIV/AIDS Prevention, Care and Treatment Services in Nampula Province (Mozambique) under PEPFAR" is a U.S. government-funded cooperative agreement designed to help Mozambique’s Nampula Provincial Health Directorate (DPS Nampula) take a stronger leadership role in HIV program management. It is rooted in a practical challenge in Mozambique’s HIV response: because the HIV epidemic is large and the public health infrastructure has constraints, many HIV prevention, care, and treatment services are delivered with heavy support from international and some local NGOs. This opportunity aims to shift more technical and managerial capacity into the provincial health authority so that the government can more effectively plan, oversee, and sustain high-quality HIV services supported through PEPFAR.
At its core, the funding focuses on institutional capacity strengthening rather than direct standalone service delivery. The expectation is that the funded partner will work closely with DPS Nampula to improve how HIV programs are designed and planned, how they are implemented at the provincial level, and how the province oversees and assures the quality of activities funded through PEPFAR. That includes strengthening the systems and routines that make a health program function well over time: coordination, accountability, monitoring, and the ability to identify gaps and correct them quickly. The idea is to reduce reliance on external implementers for fundamental management tasks by building the province’s ability to lead and manage HIV programming itself.
A major priority emphasized in the opportunity is expanding and institutionalizing quality improvement approaches. This is described in practical terms through strategies such as supportive supervision (structured, ongoing site-level guidance that helps facilities and staff perform better), training (building workforce skills and standardizing practice), mentoring (continued hands-on coaching to reinforce skills after formal training), and surveillance (improving the collection and use of data to understand trends, performance, and potential outbreaks or service gaps). These elements point to a focus on continuous improvement: strengthening the feedback loops between data, supervision, and corrective action so that service quality improves and stays high as programs scale or as staffing and conditions change.
The opportunity also places strong emphasis on collaboration. It explicitly seeks stronger working relationships among local health authorities and implementing partners, recognizing that in a PEPFAR-supported environment multiple actors are often involved across prevention, testing, treatment, and care. By improving coordination, clarifying roles, and aligning partners around shared quality standards and service delivery models, the program aims to improve consistency and effectiveness across the province. In practice, that can mean better harmonization of approaches used by NGOs with provincial policies, improved joint planning, clearer performance expectations, and more unified problem-solving around service delivery bottlenecks.
Administratively, this funding opportunity was issued by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), specifically under CDC’s global health programming (Agency: CDC - CGH). It was released as a discretionary funding opportunity using a cooperative agreement mechanism, which typically means substantial involvement by the CDC in program collaboration, technical guidance, and oversight compared to a standard grant. The funding opportunity number is CDC RFA GH19 1952, and it is associated with CFDA number 93.067. The posted award ceiling is $198,894, with an expectation of one award, indicating a relatively focused award intended to support targeted capacity-building work rather than a large multi-award service expansion. The opportunity was created on October 19, 2018, with an original application closing date of December 19, 2018, and electronic submissions due by 11:59 p.m. ET on the deadline date. Eligibility is listed broadly as "Others" with clarification referenced in an additional eligibility field, suggesting that the applicant pool may have been limited or defined by specific criteria not included in the excerpt.
Overall, the grant is best understood as a systems-strengthening effort aimed at helping DPS Nampula become more capable and self-sufficient in managing PEPFAR-supported HIV programming. By focusing on planning, implementation oversight, quality improvement methods, and stronger collaboration across government and partners, the opportunity seeks to improve the reliability and quality of HIV prevention, care, and treatment services in Nampula Province and make those gains more sustainable over time.Apply for CDC RFA GH19 1952
