Opportunity Information: Apply for DOS APSGP FY19 001
The U.S. Ambassador's PEPFAR Small Grants Program 2018-2019 is a discretionary grant opportunity run by the U.S. Department of State, U.S. Mission to Malawi, and funded through the U.S. President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR). The program is designed to support small, community-led initiatives that contribute to Malawi's national response to HIV and AIDS. It emphasizes PEPFAR's long-standing approach of using data and targeted strategies to improve efficiency, reduce costs, and increase public health impact, with the broader goal of saving lives and helping to change the trajectory of the HIV epidemic.
This grant program specifically aims to fund grassroots, community-run projects across Malawi that can deliver practical, innovative, and locally grounded solutions. The 2018-2019 funding priorities focus on several high-impact areas. One priority is improving HIV testing through innovative approaches, which could include strategies to reach underserved populations, reduce barriers to testing, and increase the number of people who learn their HIV status. Another priority is strengthening linkages to health facilities so that people can access HIV prevention, treatment, and care services more equitably; this generally refers to improving referral systems, follow-up, and navigation support so individuals do not fall out of care between community contact points and clinical services.
A major focus is also placed on promoting treatment adherence for people living with HIV, including key populations. This reflects the reality that staying on antiretroviral therapy consistently is essential for achieving viral suppression, improving health outcomes, and reducing onward transmission. The program is interested in community-informed methods that help people remain engaged in care, address stigma and other social barriers, and provide practical support that helps individuals take treatment as prescribed and stay connected to services over time.
In addition to direct health service linkages and adherence support, the program includes an economic empowerment component by prioritizing job skills training for women and girls living with HIV. This area recognizes that economic vulnerability can intensify health risks and create obstacles to sustained care, and that skills training and pathways to livelihoods can strengthen stability and resilience for individuals and households affected by HIV. The program also highlights the importance of media engagement by encouraging efforts that involve the press in covering HIV/AIDS issues effectively. This reflects an interest in accurate, responsible reporting that can inform the public, reduce misinformation, and help shape community attitudes in ways that support prevention and treatment.
Administratively, the opportunity is listed under Funding Opportunity Number DOS APSGP FY19 001 and CFDA number 19.029, with the funding activity category identified as Health. Awards are issued as grants, with an award ceiling of $20,000 per project. The program anticipated making around 15 awards, indicating a small-grants model intended to support multiple community projects rather than a single large implementer. The opportunity was created on November 15, 2018, and the application deadline was January 4, 2019, with applications due by close of business at 5:00 pm.
Eligibility is broadly noted as "Others," with applicants directed to consult the opportunity's additional eligibility information for specifics. In practice, this type of small grants program commonly targets local organizations and community groups that are positioned to implement interventions at the grassroots level, but the exact eligible applicant types would depend on the detailed eligibility language in the full announcement. Overall, the program is structured as a targeted, small-scale funding mechanism to enable community-driven solutions that align with PEPFAR goals and Malawi's national HIV response, with a clear emphasis on testing innovation, better service linkage, adherence support, economic skills for women and girls living with HIV, and stronger public communication through the press.Apply for DOS APSGP FY19 001
