Opportunity Information: Apply for CDC RFA GH 24 0074

This funding opportunity (CDC RFA GH 24 0074) is a PEPFAR-supported CDC cooperative agreement aimed at accelerating HIV epidemic control in selected Health Zones within Haut-Katanga Province in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. The focus is on expanding and strengthening a full continuum of HIV services, from prevention and testing through treatment initiation and long-term retention, with the explicit intention of moving toward epidemic control outcomes in the targeted areas. The award mechanism is a cooperative agreement, which typically means CDC plans to stay actively involved through substantial technical collaboration, including programmatic guidance, performance monitoring, and support for data-driven improvements.

For funding, the Notice of Funding Opportunity indicates an approximate total of $3,800,000 available for Year 1, contingent on funds being available. It also notes that the Year 1 award ceiling is listed as 0 (none), which generally signals that there is no specified upper limit per applicant in the posting even though CDC is publishing an anticipated total amount for the first year. The opportunity anticipates making a single award. Eligibility is listed as unrestricted, meaning a wide range of organizations may apply as long as they meet standard federal requirements and can credibly deliver the technical and operational scope described.

Programmatically, the NOFO is designed to speed up and improve the HIV service delivery cascade in Haut-Katanga by combining evidence-based interventions with innovative strategies tailored to local needs. The emphasis is on reaching people who are not yet diagnosed, people living with HIV who are not on antiretroviral therapy, and people who need prevention services. A key theme throughout is a person-centered approach, which implies service models that reduce barriers and respond to individual circumstances, especially for people who are harder to reach or face higher risks and greater stigma.

A major priority is equity for priority populations and other hard-to-reach groups. While the NOFO text provided does not enumerate the specific groups, PEPFAR programs commonly use this term to refer to populations that experience disproportionate HIV burden or barriers to care and prevention access. The intent here is to ensure that programming does not only improve overall numbers, but also closes gaps in testing, treatment, and prevention access for those most likely to be missed by standard service delivery models.

The recipient is expected to work closely with government counterparts, specifically providing direct support and technical assistance to the Ministry of Health and the Ministry of Social Affairs. This includes strengthening the technical capacity of provincial- and Health Zone-level teams to collect, analyze, and use data more effectively. In practical terms, the NOFO is signaling that better data quality and stronger data use are not side activities but central deliverables: the program should help local teams improve routine data systems, identify service gaps, target interventions, monitor progress along the cascade, and make timely course corrections based on evidence.

Community engagement is also built into the design. The recipient is expected to engage community organizations as partners to improve uptake of HIV services, strengthen linkage to care after diagnosis, and improve retention so that people stay on treatment and remain virally suppressed. This reflects a common epidemic-control approach: clinical services alone are not enough, and community-based organizations often play a decisive role in demand creation, patient navigation, follow-up, stigma reduction, and supporting adherence and continuity of care.

Finally, the overall framing aligns explicitly with the PEPFAR 2030 strategic direction, which is to end HIV/AIDS as a public health threat while strengthening local public health systems so results can be sustained. The NOFO also references PEPFAR DRC priorities under the newer strategic vision described as "5x3," emphasizing equity for priority populations, sustainability, health system strengthening, and the use of data and evidence-based science to guide programming. In short, this opportunity is seeking one capable implementer to help deliver measurable HIV epidemic control progress in select Haut-Katanga Health Zones by improving the full service cascade, strengthening government and Health Zone capacity, and embedding community-driven approaches and rigorous data use into day-to-day operations.
