Opportunity Information: Apply for 72065624RFA00005
USAID Mozambique is planning a new activity called ESPERANCA (Ensuring Social Protection by Empowering and building Resiliency for Adolescents, Nuclear families, Children, and caregivers affected by HIV/AIDS). The overall purpose is to improve health outcomes for households that are vulnerable to, or already impacted by, HIV. The work is expected to focus on families and caregivers and to strengthen resilience and social protection for adolescents, children, and nuclear families living with the pressures and risks associated with HIV/AIDS. The geographic focus is on three provinces in Mozambique: Manica, Tete, and Sofala, signaling an intent to concentrate resources where the need is high and where coordinated, household-level support can measurably affect health and well-being.
The opportunity is being offered by USAID as a discretionary award using a Cooperative Agreement, which typically means the recipient will implement the program with substantial involvement from USAID during the life of the award (for example, through collaboration on planning, monitoring, and key implementation decisions). The funding opportunity number is 72065624RFA00005, listed under the Health funding activity category, with CFDA/assistance listing 98.001. USAID anticipates making one award, with an award ceiling of up to USD 40,000,000, indicating a single, large-scale implementer is expected to lead and coordinate the activity.
Eligibility is tightly restricted to local Mozambican organizations that meet USAID's definition of a "local entity." To qualify, the applicant must be legally organized under the laws of the Republic of Mozambique, have its principal place of business or operations in Mozambique, and be both majority owned and majority governed/managed by Mozambican citizens or lawful permanent residents. USAID clarifies that "majority owned" and "managed by" are interpreted broadly, including beneficiary interests and any direct or indirect power to control leadership selection or tenure. These local-entity requirements apply to the principal applicant, meaning the main organization submitting the application must meet the definition (even if partners or subrecipients may vary, depending on the final solicitation terms).
USAID explicitly notes that it welcomes applications from organizations that have not previously received USAID financial assistance, which is an important signal for newer or first-time local applicants that may not have a prior USAID award history. Faith-based organizations are also eligible on the same basis as any other organization, and participation is subject to applicable federal laws and protections, reinforcing that organizational type does not exclude an applicant as long as the local-entity criteria are met.
Key dates and administrative details included in the notice indicate the opportunity record was created on 2024-08-01, and the listed closing date is 2024-09-30. In practical terms, this opportunity is positioned as a major locally led HIV-affected household support and resilience effort in central Mozambique, with substantial funding for one lead Mozambican entity to design, deliver, and coordinate interventions aimed at improving health outcomes for adolescents, children, caregivers, and families facing HIV-related vulnerability.Apply for 72065624RFA00005
