Opportunity Information: Apply for CDC RFA GH17 1756
This grant opportunity, titled "Implementation of Programs for the Prevention, Care and Treatment of HIV/AIDS in the Republic of Cote d'Ivoire under the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR)," is a CDC-led funding announcement designed to maintain and strengthen HIV services in Cote d'Ivoire under the broader PEPFAR effort. The central idea is continuity and scale: it is meant to protect ongoing access to HIV prevention, clinical care, and antiretroviral treatment (ART) for people already enrolled in services, while also expanding reach to more individuals and communities to help bring the national response closer to epidemic control.
A major goal of the program is to support progress toward the UNAIDS 90-90-90 targets, meaning a strong focus on diagnosing people living with HIV, ensuring they are linked to and retained in sustained care, and achieving viral suppression through effective treatment. The opportunity emphasizes that epidemic control in Cote d'Ivoire depends not only on providing services today, but also on building durable national capacity so that the health system can maintain and expand HIV services over time. In practice, this means the funded work is expected to combine immediate service delivery support with longer-term investments in systems, workforce skills, and organizational strength.
The approach described is deliberately structured around PEPFAR's geographic and programmatic pivots, signaling that resources and implementation are expected to align with PEPFAR priorities on where interventions are concentrated and which populations and service gaps are targeted. Alongside supporting service delivery in priority areas, the program places a clear emphasis on transitioning knowledge and operational capability to local leadership. A key expectation is that grantees will provide technical assistance to indigenous Ivorian organizations and work closely with the national Ministry of Health and the Fight Against HIV to help sustain, manage, and grow comprehensive HIV programming, including prevention, care, and ART.
Implementation is expected to use a combined facility-based and community-based model. That generally implies strengthening clinic and hospital services (testing, treatment initiation, clinical monitoring, pharmacy and laboratory support, quality improvement, and patient management) while also reinforcing community-level activities that improve uptake and continuity (community testing and linkage strategies, adherence and retention support, follow-up for missed visits, stigma reduction efforts, and other interventions that help people start and stay on treatment). The overall design points toward a comprehensive package rather than isolated projects, with the expectation that services work together to move clients smoothly from diagnosis to treatment and long-term viral suppression.
From an administrative standpoint, the opportunity is a discretionary cooperative agreement, which typically means CDC expects substantial involvement in program direction, technical guidance, and performance monitoring during implementation. The funding opportunity number is CDC RFA GH17-1756, under CFDA 93.067, and it is managed by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CGH). Eligibility is listed as unrestricted, meaning a wide range of applicant types can apply if they can meet the program and administrative requirements. The original closing date was 2016-10-25, with an anticipated two awards and an award ceiling of $13,000,000, reflecting a relatively large-scale implementation effort rather than a small pilot. Overall, the opportunity is focused on delivering measurable HIV outcomes in the near term while accelerating a shift toward locally sustained capacity and long-run service delivery within Cote d'Ivoire's health sector.Apply for CDC RFA GH17 1756
