Opportunity Information: Apply for CDC RFA GH12 122004CONT16

This funding opportunity is a continuation cooperative agreement from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) under the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) focused on Ethiopia. Its purpose is to sustain and further strengthen federal-level coordination and monitoring and evaluation (M&E) of a multi-sectoral response to HIV/AIDS, meaning the work is not limited to the health sector alone but emphasizes collaboration across multiple government and stakeholder systems that influence HIV outcomes. The opportunity is listed as a continuation action rather than a new, open competition, and it is explicitly intended only for organizations that previously received an award under the earlier related announcement, CDC-RFA-GH12-1220.

At a practical level, the grant is aimed at improving how Ethiopia's national HIV/AIDS response is organized, tracked, and assessed at the federal level. "Coordination" in this context typically involves aligning priorities, plans, roles, and partner activities so that different ministries, agencies, and implementing partners are working toward shared goals without duplication or gaps. "Monitoring and evaluation" refers to the systems and practices used to routinely collect, manage, analyze, and use program data to measure performance, track progress against targets, and support evidence-based decision-making. Because it is framed as a multi-sectoral response, it signals an emphasis on ensuring that HIV-related efforts across prevention, treatment, care, and support are harmonized across relevant sectors and that results can be reliably measured and reported.

The award mechanism is a cooperative agreement, which generally indicates substantial involvement by CDC in supporting and guiding the work compared with a standard grant. While the specific activities are not detailed in the provided text, cooperative agreements in this area commonly include technical assistance, joint planning, and close collaboration on performance monitoring, data quality improvement, indicator alignment, and reporting requirements tied to PEPFAR. The funding activity category is health, and the assistance listing is CFDA 93.067, which corresponds to a CDC global HIV/AIDS program funding stream.

Key administrative details show that this is categorized as a continuation opportunity, with an original closing date of December 8, 2015, and a creation date of October 2, 2015. The posting lists an award ceiling of 0 and does not specify the expected number of awards, which is consistent with notices that are primarily administrative continuations for existing recipients rather than open solicitations intended to generate multiple new awards. Eligibility is effectively restricted: even though the field may show "Others" for eligible applicants, the description makes clear that only prior grantees under the earlier award are intended to receive continuation funds.

In summary, this CDC/PEPFAR continuation opportunity supports ongoing work in Ethiopia to strengthen national-level leadership and coordination of the HIV/AIDS response and to reinforce M&E systems that can demonstrate results, improve program quality, and support accountability across sectors. It is not a general call for new applicants; it is designed to extend funding for previously funded grantees so that established coordination and evaluation efforts can continue without interruption.
