Opportunity Information: Apply for CDC RFA GH15 158302CONT16
This funding opportunity is a continuation cooperative agreement from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) under the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR). It focuses on strengthening local capacity in Eswatini (formerly Swaziland), specifically in the Manzini Region, to deliver sustainable, quality-assured, and broadly accessible clinical HIV and tuberculosis (TB) services. In parallel with regional service delivery support, the award also emphasizes providing central-level technical assistance to the National Tuberculosis Control Program (NTCP), helping improve TB program performance, coordination, and national systems.
The opportunity is not an open competition. It is explicitly described as continuation funding intended only for organizations that were previously awarded under the earlier related announcement (CDC-RFA-GH15-1583). In practice, that means the applicant pool is restricted to prior grantees, and the purpose is to extend or maintain ongoing work rather than launch a new initiative with new implementing partners.
Programmatically, the intent is twofold. First, in Manzini Region, the award supports strengthening local institutions and health service platforms so they can reliably provide comprehensive clinical HIV and TB services at high quality and at scale. This typically implies improving clinical care delivery systems, ensuring services meet quality standards, supporting supervision and mentoring of health workers, strengthening referral linkages, and building the management and operational capacity needed for services to continue effectively over time. The phrase "universal coverage" signals an emphasis on reaching the full target population with needed services, while "quality assured" indicates that coverage expansion should not come at the expense of clinical standards, patient safety, or adherence to national and international guidelines.
Second, the award supports central-level technical assistance to the NTCP. Central-level assistance generally includes support for national policy and guideline implementation, program planning and coordination, monitoring and evaluation, surveillance and reporting systems, and quality improvement approaches that can be applied consistently across the country. Because TB and HIV programs are tightly linked in high-burden settings, this type of national TB program support often aligns TB case-finding, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention activities with HIV care platforms, including collaborative TB/HIV activities and efforts to improve integration between services.
From an administrative standpoint, this is a CDC cooperative agreement, which usually means CDC has substantial involvement beyond simply providing funds. Cooperative agreements commonly include ongoing technical collaboration, joint planning, performance monitoring, and alignment with PEPFAR strategies and country operational plans. The activity category is listed as Health, and the CFDA number is 93.067, which corresponds to CDC funding aligned with global HIV/AIDS programming.
Key metadata included with the notice indicates it was created on September 30, 2015, with an original closing date of November 30, 2015. The opportunity number is CDC RFA GH15 158302CONT16, and the opportunity category is "Continuation." The listing shows an award ceiling of 0 and does not specify the expected number of awards, which is consistent with some continuation notices where amounts and award counts may be handled through internal continuation actions tied to prior awards rather than a new competitive budget cap.
In summary, this continuation award is designed to sustain and deepen an existing PEPFAR-supported HIV/TB platform in Manzini while also strengthening the national TB program through targeted technical assistance. Its central theme is sustainability through local capacity building, paired with quality assurance and programmatic support that helps Eswatini maintain and improve HIV and TB outcomes over time.Apply for CDC RFA GH15 158302CONT16
