Opportunity Information: Apply for RFI 613 21 000003
The opportunity titled "Support to Zimbabwe's multi-sectoral HIV response" is a United States Agency for International Development (USAID) Zimbabwe request for information (RFI), not a direct funding award announcement. It is designed to gather practical input from the market, especially from local organizations, to shape a major upcoming solicitation that USAID intended to release in early 2023. In other words, USAID is using this RFI to collect insights on what approaches are feasible, what gaps exist, and what local actors can realistically deliver in support of Zimbabwe's nationally led HIV response under the Government of Zimbabwe (GoZ).
The program that USAID is preparing would focus on two closely linked objectives: preventing new HIV infections among specific priority groups, and improving continuity of care so that people living with HIV stay on treatment and achieve viral suppression. The emphasis on continuity of care and viral suppression signals a focus on the full treatment cascade, including consistent linkage to services, retention in care, adherence support, and reducing treatment interruptions that can lead to poor outcomes and onward transmission. The prevention focus suggests a package of targeted interventions that address both behavioral and structural drivers of risk, tailored to populations most affected or most vulnerable.
The RFI highlights priority populations expected to be central to the future request for proposals (RFP) or notice of funding opportunity (NOFO). These include key populations (KP), specifically sex workers in their diversity and their sexual partners; men who have sex with men (MSM); transgender individuals (TG); and people who inject drugs. It also includes adolescent girls and young women (AGYW) and at-risk young men, indicating a broader prevention lens that recognizes age- and gender-related vulnerabilities as well as the role of male partners and peers in transmission dynamics. By naming these groups explicitly, the opportunity signals that the future program will likely require specialized community engagement models, strong protections around confidentiality and stigma reduction, and service delivery approaches that are acceptable and accessible to people who may face discrimination or legal and social barriers.
Administratively, the listing is identified as RFI 613 21 000003 and falls under a health-focused activity category with CFDA number 98.001. USAID-Harare is the issuing office. While eligibility is broadly described as "Others" with clarification to be found in the full text, the narrative makes clear that USAID is particularly seeking responses and interest from local organizations. The RFI was created on August 30, 2022, with an original closing date of September 27, 2022, reflecting that the primary purpose was time-bound market research and planning for the subsequent solicitation.
In terms of scale, the notice references an award ceiling of up to $95,000,000 and an expectation of one award. That combination suggests a large, consolidated implementing mechanism, likely intended to coordinate multiple intervention components under one lead entity or consortium arrangement. The future award would be expected to align with and support Zimbabwe's multi-sectoral HIV strategy, meaning coordination across health services and other sectors that influence outcomes, potentially including community systems, social services, education-related prevention work for youth, and partnerships that address stigma, violence, and other structural factors affecting prevention and treatment adherence.
Finally, the notice directs interested parties to consult the RFI attachments under the "RELATED DOCUMENTS" section for detailed questions and instructions. Those attachments would typically contain the specific information USAID is seeking (for example, technical approaches, geographic coverage suggestions, partnership models, staffing and capacity considerations, and cost or sustainability perspectives), which would then inform how USAID structures the later RFP/NOFO and its evaluation criteria.Apply for RFI 613 21 000003
