USAID Espoir 2030 Haut-Katanga is a competitive USAID/DRC funding opportunity to support HIV-related service delivery in Haut-Katanga Province, Democratic Republic of Congo, through a five-year cooperative agreement structured as a Fixed Amount Award (FAA). The program is framed as a health activity under CFDA 98.001 and is designed to advance HIV epidemic control by strengthening and expanding integrated HIV programming in targeted areas. USAID plans to make one award, with an award ceiling of up to $15,000,000, selecting the applicant that best meets the objectives and scores highest under the merit review criteria in the full Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO), subject to a required risk assessment.
Eligibility is narrowly limited to local non-governmental entities that meet USAID's definition of a "local entity" under ADS 303.6. This restriction is central to the opportunity and means international organizations that do not qualify as local under ADS 303.6 would not be eligible to apply as prime recipients. Applicants are expected to closely follow the NOFO requirements for submission and understand the selection process, since USAID emphasizes that the award decision will be based on both technical merit and the results of its risk review.
Programmatically, the activity is intended to operate in three health zones in Haut-Katanga located outside Lubumbashi, focusing primarily on service delivery rather than stand-alone technical assistance. The specific number of supported health zones may shift over time based on PEPFAR priorities and Government of the DRC (GDRC) orientations, so the design needs to be adaptable and responsive to evolving policy and geographic targeting decisions. The overall service delivery model is meant to cover the full package required for HIV epidemic control in the province, rather than running separate, fragmented interventions. In practical terms, USAID expects the activity to incorporate core HIV prevention, testing, treatment, and retention approaches while also integrating programming for Orphans and Vulnerable Children (OVC) and ensuring continuity of services for key populations (KPs).
A key feature of the opportunity is coordination and alignment with existing USAID and partner-supported HIV platforms. The new award is expected to collaborate with current implementers and mechanisms, explicitly including EpiC, IHP, and the Chemonics Francophone Task Order, along with other USAID-funded and development partner HIV programs operating in the same space. This collaboration is not described as optional; it is built into the intended design to avoid duplication, promote continuity of care, and ensure a smooth transition and handoff of the existing key populations program previously supported through EpiC. In effect, USAID is signaling that the awardee should be ready to work within a multi-partner ecosystem, coordinate referrals and service coverage, and maintain program momentum during transitions.
From an administrative standpoint, the opportunity is posted by USAID-Kinshasa (USAID/DRC) under Funding Opportunity Number 72066024RFA00003 as a discretionary cooperative agreement. The original closing date listed is May 17, 2024. USAID also indicated that a French version of the funding opportunity package would be added by March 26, 2024, which matters for local applicants who may rely on French-language guidance for compliance and application preparation. For full details on required application components, budget structure under the FAA approach, merit review criteria, and reporting expectations, applicants are directed to the complete NOFO accompanying this synopsis.Apply for 72066024RFA00003
