This funding opportunity, titled "Supporting Sustainable Implementation of HIV and TB Services for Epidemic Control in The Republic of Mozambique under the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR)," is a continuation cooperative agreement issued by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services through the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), specifically within CDC's Center for Global Health. The program sits in the health funding category and is connected to CFDA (now commonly referenced as Assistance Listing) number 93.067, which is the CDC's umbrella listing used for many global HIV-related cooperative agreements supported under PEPFAR.

The core purpose of the opportunity is to sustain and advance the implementation of HIV and tuberculosis (TB) services in Mozambique in ways that support epidemic control. In practical terms, that typically means maintaining and strengthening prevention, testing, treatment, and care programs so that HIV transmission declines and people living with HIV achieve viral suppression, while also reducing TB illness and deaths, especially among people living with HIV. The emphasis on "sustainable implementation" signals that CDC is looking for partners that can help institutionalize and embed effective service delivery within Mozambique's health system, improve quality and coverage over time, and support long-term capacity so gains can be maintained beyond discrete project cycles.

Because the award is a cooperative agreement rather than a standard grant, the CDC is expected to have substantial involvement in the work. Cooperative agreements usually involve a closer working relationship between CDC technical staff and the recipient organization, including collaboration on strategy, program design, performance monitoring, evaluation approaches, and alignment with national and PEPFAR priorities. That structure is commonly used for complex public health programs where technical guidance, coordinated planning, and ongoing course correction are essential, particularly in areas like HIV and TB where guidelines, targets, and implementation realities can change quickly.

The announcement is categorized as "Continuation," which generally indicates funding intended to continue or extend work that is already underway, rather than launching an entirely new, open-ended competition. Continuation opportunities often focus on sustaining existing programming, scaling proven interventions, addressing previously identified gaps, and meeting updated performance targets. The listing notes an expected 10 awards, suggesting CDC anticipated multiple implementing partners operating in different provinces, technical areas, or service delivery platforms. The award ceiling is shown as 0, which typically means a specific maximum amount was not published in the summary data and would instead be detailed in the full notice or determined through negotiated budgets and availability of funds.

Key administrative details include the funding opportunity number CDC RFA GH16 163402CONT18, with the opportunity created on February 2, 2017 and an original closing date of April 4, 2017. The eligible applicants field is listed as "Others (see text field entitled Additional Information on Eligibility for clarification)," which implies eligibility was defined more specifically in the full funding announcement. In CDC global health cooperative agreements, this can include a range of organizations such as non-profits, NGOs, academic institutions, and sometimes other entities, often with conditions related to demonstrated technical capacity, prior performance, or alignment with in-country coordination requirements.

Overall, this opportunity is best understood as CDC's mechanism, under PEPFAR, for maintaining and strengthening Mozambique's HIV and TB service delivery and health system capacity with the explicit goal of reaching and sustaining epidemic control. It is structured to support coordinated implementation with CDC involvement, likely across multiple partners, and framed to prioritize durable, system-integrated approaches rather than short-term or stand-alone activities.
