Opportunity Information: Apply for CDC RFA JG 25 0072
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), through its Global Health Center and under PEPFAR, is offering a cooperative agreement opportunity titled "Strengthening the organizational capacity of the Ministry of Health to deliver a sustainable and resilient response to HIV/TB and related public health threats in the Kingdom of Eswatini." The focus is not on directly delivering clinical services, but on providing hands-on technical assistance to Eswatini's Ministry of Health (MOH) so it can more effectively plan, coordinate, and manage a long-term HIV and TB response that can also adapt to other emerging public health challenges. The overarching idea is to strengthen the "core operating system" of the MOH so the national response is better led, better financed, and better staffed over time.
Funding is structured as a cooperative agreement, meaning the CDC is expected to have substantial involvement in the work rather than acting only as a pass-through funder. The opportunity lists an Award Ceiling for Year 1 as 0 (none), while also indicating an anticipated approximate total funding amount of $2,000,000 for Year 1, contingent on the availability of funds. CDC expects to make 2 awards. The notice was created on 2024-12-17, and the original application closing date is 2025-03-05. The assistance is categorized under Health (CFDA 93.067).
The work is centered on building organizational capacity in three main domains. The first is leadership and governance, where applicants are expected to help strengthen MOH governance structures, oversight functions, and operational processes so the Ministry can credibly lead and coordinate the strategic objectives of the national HIV response. In practical terms, this implies support for clearer decision-making structures, stronger accountability and oversight routines, better coordination across departments and partners, and more reliable internal processes that translate national strategies into operational plans that are actually implemented.
The second domain is resource mobilization and financial management. The CDC is looking for evidence-based support that improves how the MOH attracts, manages, and uses resources for the HIV response. This includes strengthening financing approaches and stewardship mechanisms, increasing the visibility of the HIV response within government and among partners, and improving stakeholder engagement so that funding and in-kind support are better aligned with national priorities. The emphasis is on making financing more sustainable and transparent, reducing fragmentation, and ensuring that resources are directed toward the highest-impact activities.
The third domain is workforce planning and performance management. The opportunity calls for technical assistance to help foster a responsive health sector workforce that is coordinated, trained, and equipped to deliver on HIV/TB priorities. This is expected to be data-driven, meaning workforce decisions should be informed by credible staffing and workload data, service delivery needs, and performance information. The goal is to strengthen planning for staffing levels and skills, improve how performance is tracked and supported, and build systems that help the workforce adapt as program needs change.
Across all three areas, CDC stresses the use of evidence-based approaches and positions this investment as a way to improve resilience. By strengthening leadership, financing and stewardship, and workforce systems, the MOH should be better able to adjust quickly to shifts in the HIV/TB landscape, address implementation bottlenecks, and respond to related public health threats without having to rely on ad hoc structures or short-term fixes.
Eligibility is broad and includes state, county, city/township, and special district governments; independent school districts; public and private institutions of higher education; federally recognized tribal governments and other tribal organizations; public housing authorities; nonprofits with and without 501(c)(3) status; for-profit organizations (including those other than small businesses); small businesses; and unrestricted applicants. The funding opportunity number is CDC RFA JG 25 0072, and the issuing agency is Centers for Disease Control-GHC.Apply for CDC RFA JG 25 0072
