Opportunity Information: Apply for 72067418RFA00008
USAID South Africa (USAID-Pretoria) announced a discretionary funding opportunity titled "Community-Based Violence Prevention and Linkages to Response in South Africa" under Funding Opportunity Number 72067418RFA00008. The award was planned as a cooperative agreement, which usually means USAID expected to stay actively involved during implementation rather than simply providing funds and stepping back. The activity sits in the Health funding category and is associated with CFDA number 98.001, reflecting its placement within U.S. foreign assistance programming.
The central purpose of the opportunity was to reduce Gender-Based Violence (GBV) and Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) in South Africa. The grant notice links this objective directly to public health outcomes, emphasizing that reducing GBV and IPV is seen as essential to achieving epidemic control in South Africa. In practical terms, this signals an approach that treats violence prevention and survivor support not only as human rights and safety issues, but also as key components of broader health goals, including HIV-related outcomes where violence can increase risk, reduce service uptake, and undermine treatment adherence.
As framed by the title, the opportunity focused on two connected lines of effort: community-based prevention of violence and stronger linkages to response services. "Community-based" implies that interventions would be rooted in local settings and social structures, aiming to prevent violence before it occurs by changing conditions, norms, and behaviors that contribute to GBV/IPV. "Linkages to response" indicates attention to what happens when violence occurs, namely connecting survivors to appropriate services and support. While the short public description does not list specific required interventions, the language suggests an integrated model that both reduces incidence through prevention and improves outcomes through coordinated referral pathways and access to care.
Eligibility was listed as unrestricted, meaning any type of entity could apply, subject to any additional eligibility clarifications that may have appeared in the full notice. USAID anticipated making a single award, indicating a preference for one lead implementer capable of coordinating a large, multi-component effort. The award ceiling was $19,800,000, reflecting a sizeable, multi-year style investment typical of programs that combine community mobilization, systems strengthening, and service linkage work across multiple sites.
The opportunity was created on May 21, 2018, with an original closing date of June 25, 2018. In summary, this solicitation sought one main partner to run a substantial USAID-supported health-related program in South Africa aimed at preventing GBV and IPV at the community level while strengthening and formalizing connections to response services, with the broader strategic rationale that violence reduction is a necessary condition for achieving epidemic control.Apply for 72067418RFA00008
