Opportunity Information: Apply for CDC RFA GH16 1685
This funding opportunity, titled "Strengthening Ownership and Sustainable Provision of Quality HIV/AIDS Services by the Oromia Regional Health Bureau of the Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia under PEPFAR," is a U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) cooperative agreement designed to strengthen and sustain HIV/AIDS service delivery in Ethiopia's Oromia Region. The central purpose is to support the Oromia Regional Health Bureau (RHB) as it leads the implementation of comprehensive HIV/AIDS programs while also helping address related public health priorities. A major theme of the opportunity is consolidating the transition to local ownership, meaning the regional government health authority is positioned to plan, manage, and improve HIV/AIDS services with increasing independence and long-term sustainability, while still working closely with U.S. Government partners under PEPFAR.
The award mechanism is a cooperative agreement, which typically indicates a high level of involvement and collaboration between CDC and the recipient during implementation. In practice, this implies the Oromia RHB would not only receive funding but would also coordinate regularly with CDC on technical guidance, performance expectations, and program improvement activities. The opportunity is categorized as discretionary and falls under the health activity category, with CFDA number 93.067, aligning it with broader U.S. government global health and HIV/AIDS assistance frameworks. The eligible applicant category is listed as "Others," and the opportunity is clearly tailored to the Oromia Regional Health Bureau as the implementing governmental body in Ethiopia.
Programmatically, the scope centers on strengthening the systems and capacities required to deliver high-quality HIV/AIDS prevention, care, and treatment services at scale. Key focus areas include improved planning and coordination, particularly with stakeholders and U.S. Government partners involved in PEPFAR-supported activities. This includes organizing regional strategies, aligning partners around shared goals, reducing duplication, and ensuring that service delivery priorities match epidemiologic needs and health system realities in Oromia. The opportunity also emphasizes strengthening day-to-day program implementation capacity, meaning the RHB is expected to play a stronger role in managing how services are delivered across facilities and communities, ensuring coverage, continuity of care, and adherence to national and regional guidelines.
A substantial component of the work involves strengthening financial management and accountability. This typically includes improving budgeting, expenditure tracking, grant and sub-grant management where applicable, internal controls, and timely, accurate financial reporting. By improving financial systems, the RHB is better positioned to manage donor resources transparently and to sustain programming as external support changes over time. In parallel, there is a strong emphasis on quality improvement, indicating an expectation that the RHB will implement continuous quality improvement approaches in health facilities and programs, identify service delivery gaps, and systematically test and scale solutions to improve clinical and program performance.
The opportunity also highlights workforce-related priorities, including training and deployment of health care workers (HCWs). This points to investments in building clinical and managerial capacity through trainings, on-the-job learning, and ensuring that appropriately skilled staff are deployed where service demand is highest. Related to this are supportive supervision and mentoring, which are practical strategies used to reinforce clinical standards, strengthen provider performance, and improve facility-level management. Supportive supervision commonly involves structured site visits, coaching, use of standardized checklists, and follow-up plans, while mentoring focuses more on sustained skills transfer and clinical support, especially in HIV treatment and care settings.
Data systems and performance management are another core pillar of the award. The RHB is expected to strengthen data collection and reporting, which includes improving routine health information systems, ensuring data completeness and accuracy, and submitting reports that meet CDC and PEPFAR requirements. This data focus is closely tied to monitoring and evaluation, indicating that the program will be expected to track outputs and outcomes, analyze program performance, and use findings to guide decision-making. Taken together, these elements support a stronger evidence-based approach to HIV/AIDS programming, where resources and interventions are adjusted based on real-time and periodic performance information.
In terms of scale and structure, the opportunity anticipated a single award (ExpectedAwards: 1) with an award ceiling of USD 11,500,000, reflecting a large, region-wide investment intended to support comprehensive programming and system strengthening through one primary recipient. The funding opportunity number is CDC RFA GH16-1685. The original posting date was 2016-02-05, and the original closing date was 2020-04-21, indicating a multi-year window or re-competition timeline typical of large international public health cooperative agreements.
Overall, this grant opportunity is best understood as an effort to institutionalize strong regional leadership over HIV/AIDS services in Oromia by building durable capacity in planning, coordination, implementation, financial stewardship, quality improvement, workforce development, supervision and mentoring, and rigorous monitoring and evaluation. The underlying goal is not only to maintain and improve HIV/AIDS outcomes under PEPFAR, but also to ensure that Oromia's public health system can sustain high-quality HIV/AIDS services with stronger local ownership and long-term resilience.Apply for CDC RFA GH16 1685
