Opportunity Information: Apply for CDC RFA GH20 2052
This funding opportunity, titled "Strengthening Multi-sectoral Coordination and Implementation and Monitoring of HIV/AIDS in Malawi under the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR)" (Funding Opportunity Number: CDC RFA GH20-2052), is a CDC cooperative agreement under CFDA 93.067 focused on improving how Malawi organizes, oversees, and measures its national HIV response. It sits within PEPFAR's broader goal of achieving and sustaining HIV epidemic control by ensuring that prevention, treatment, and care efforts are well coordinated, strategically aligned, and monitored with strong data systems.
The notice is structured as a single-eligibility award, meaning only one applicant is eligible to apply: the Malawi National AIDS Commission (NAC). NAC is the government body responsible for coordinating Malawi's multi-sectoral HIV and AIDS response, working across the Ministry of Health (MOH), other ministries, civil society organizations, and other partners. The rationale for limiting eligibility is tied to NAC's formal mandate to set coordination structures, convene stakeholders, support national policy and strategy processes, and promote adherence to national HIV guidelines across the many actors involved in HIV programming.
Although the listing shows an "Award Ceiling for Year 1" as 0 (none), CDC anticipates approximately $1,000,000 in total funding for Year 1, contingent on the availability of funds. The opportunity anticipates a single award. In practice, this framing typically signals that CDC did not set a hard cap in the notice text, while still projecting a planned funding amount for the initial budget period.
Programmatically, the opportunity emphasizes that primary HIV prevention remains essential to reaching epidemic control in Malawi, and it identifies specific priority prevention areas that need strong national and subnational coordination. These include Voluntary Medical Male Circumcision (VMMC), prevention of gender-based violence (GBV), prevention services targeting adolescent girls and young women (AGYW), pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP), and prevention services for key populations (KP). It also highlights the importance of complementary services that address HIV risk factors and strengthen linkages to care and retention for people living with HIV, recognizing that prevention and treatment outcomes are closely connected and depend on consistent follow-through across the service continuum.
The core purpose of the cooperative agreement is to strengthen leadership, planning, and performance oversight for HIV prevention and related services at both national and district levels. Rather than primarily funding direct service delivery, the NOFO is aimed at reinforcing the coordination "backbone" of the response: improving how stakeholders align to national priorities, how progress is tracked, and how strategic decisions are made based on reliable information. Key supported functions include coordinating the implementation of prevention activities across the listed program areas, ensuring that partners and implementers are working in a complementary way rather than duplicating efforts or leaving gaps.
A major deliverable area is strengthening national monitoring and evaluation (M and E) systems for HIV and AIDS activities. This includes improving the collection, management, and use of data to monitor performance, measure results, and support timely course correction. The opportunity also calls for coordinated reviews of national HIV strategic frameworks, which points to periodic assessment and updating of strategies, targets, and implementation approaches to keep them consistent with epidemic trends, evidence-based interventions, and national priorities.
Another emphasized component is the use of mapping and tracking of stakeholders and implementers involved in HIV prevention activities. This kind of partner mapping is meant to create a clear picture of who is doing what and where, support geographic and programmatic alignment, and help direct resources and technical support to the highest-need areas. Finally, the NOFO includes provision of experts to support HIV prevention, care, and treatment activities in close collaboration with the MOH, reinforcing that technical assistance and specialized capacity are expected to be integrated with government systems and decision-making rather than operating in parallel.
Administratively, the opportunity was created on November 18, 2019, with an original application due date of January 17, 2020, and electronically submitted applications required by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date. The funding agency is the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), specifically through CDC's Center for Global Health (CGH). Overall, the opportunity is designed to strengthen governance, coordination, and accountability mechanisms that enable Malawi's HIV response to operate as a unified national program capable of sustaining prevention gains and supporting epidemic control.Apply for CDC RFA GH20 2052
