Opportunity Information: Apply for CDC RFA GH20 2055
The grant opportunity titled "Maintaining and Strengthening Institutional Capacity of Maputo City Province Health Directorate in Mozambique under the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR)" (Funding Opportunity Number: CDC RFA GH20 2055) is a U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) cooperative agreement aimed at improving how the Maputo City Provincial Health Directorate, known locally as the Direccao Provincial de Saude (DPS), manages and leads the HIV response in Maputo City. It sits under the broader PEPFAR framework and is categorized as a discretionary health funding opportunity under CFDA 93.067.
At its core, the opportunity is designed to strengthen institutional capacity rather than directly fund large-scale service delivery. The emphasis is on helping DPS Maputo City build stronger systems, skills, and coordination mechanisms so it can more effectively develop, plan, and oversee the HIV program across the city. This includes reinforcing DPS leadership functions, improving oversight of HIV prevention, care, support, and treatment activities supported by PEPFAR, and ensuring that responsibilities and decision-making increasingly rest with local health authorities. The underlying idea is that a stronger, better-organized provincial health directorate can sustain HIV epidemic control over time, even as external support changes.
A major component of the described work is coordination. The NOFO highlights the need to promote closer collaboration among PEPFAR implementing partners and other key stakeholders involved in HIV service delivery in Maputo City. In practical terms, that means improving how partners align with government priorities, reducing duplication, strengthening referral and service delivery models, and improving the overall performance of the health system that supports HIV services. The focus is not only on technical HIV program management, but also on the governance and operational structures that allow multiple partners and facilities to work as one coherent response.
In terms of funding, CDC anticipated an approximate total of $350,000 in Fiscal Year 1, contingent on the availability of funds. The listing also states that the "Award Ceiling for Year 1 is 0 (none)," which typically indicates that a maximum cap was not set in the announcement rather than implying no money will be awarded. CDC expected to make one award. The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, meaning CDC would likely remain substantially involved in the project through technical collaboration, monitoring, and ongoing engagement rather than acting solely as a pass-through funder.
Administratively, the opportunity was created on December 27, 2019, with an original application deadline of February 27, 2020, and electronically submitted applications were due by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the closing date. Eligibility is listed broadly as "Others," with the details intended to be clarified in the full eligibility section of the announcement. Overall, the opportunity reflects a capacity-building approach: strengthening government leadership, improving partner coordination, and enhancing system-level performance so Maputo City can maintain long-term progress in HIV prevention and treatment under PEPFAR.Apply for CDC RFA GH20 2055
