Opportunity Information: Apply for 72066023RFA00003
USAID/DRC is offering a discretionary health-focused funding opportunity called "USAID Combating HIV/AIDS Through Local Partnership Activity (CHALPA) - Lualaba" (Funding Opportunity Number 72066023RFA00003). The award will be made as a Cooperative Agreement using a Fixed Amount Award (FAA) approach, meaning the agreement is structured around set payments tied to completion of defined activities and results rather than traditional cost-reimbursement. USAID anticipates making one award for this Lualaba-focused solicitation, with an award ceiling of $13,500,000.
The core purpose of the activity is to strengthen and expand high-quality, accessible HIV/AIDS services in Lualaba Province as part of the broader push toward HIV epidemic control in the Democratic Republic of Congo. This effort sits within the larger President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) portfolio in the DRC, and it is designed to work closely with the Government of the DRC (GDRC) alongside other USAID-funded partners. While USAID intends to fund three separate CHALPA activities across three provinces (Kinshasa, Lualaba, and Haut-Katanga), this particular opportunity is specifically for Lualaba. Separate solicitations will cover the other provinces.
Geographically, the Lualaba CHALPA award is expected to focus on service delivery in fourteen (14) health zones in the province. USAID notes that the number and selection of supported health zones may change over time depending on PEPFAR priorities and GDRC guidance, which signals that applicants should be prepared for adaptive planning, coordination, and potential geographic adjustments during implementation.
Programmatically, USAID describes an integrated service delivery model intended to cover "all aspects" of HIV epidemic control within the province. In practice, that implies comprehensive HIV programming along the prevention-to-treatment cascade (for example, testing and case finding, linkage to treatment, antiretroviral therapy support, and retention/viral suppression activities), combined with Orphans and Vulnerable Children (OVC) support and at least some programming for key populations (KPs). A specific goal called out is ensuring a smooth transition of existing key population programming currently implemented under EpiC, indicating that continuity of services and careful handover planning will be important expectations for the recipient.
Coordination is a major feature of the design. The selected implementer in Lualaba will be expected to collaborate with both existing and newer partners operating in the same space, including EpiC/360, IHP/ABT, and the Chemonics Francophone Task Order, among others. This suggests the award will not operate as a stand-alone project, but rather as a component of a province-wide and national HIV response where referrals, data sharing, harmonized standards, and aligned approaches with the health system and other partners are necessary to avoid duplication and improve coverage and quality.
Eligibility is restricted to local entities as defined under USAID policy (ADS 303.6). In other words, the opportunity is specifically designed to channel resources to qualified Congolese local organizations rather than international applicants, reinforcing USAID's local partnership and locally led development priorities.
Key administrative details include the posting/creation date of May 19, 2023, and an application deadline of July 11, 2023 at 18:00 Kinshasa time. Additional requirements, technical instructions, and full program expectations are contained in the complete Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) referenced in the synopsis.Apply for 72066023RFA00003
