This grant opportunity is a continuation cooperative agreement from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Center for Global Health, focused on sustaining and strengthening comprehensive HIV prevention, care, and treatment services in the eastern slums of Nairobi, Kenya. The program is aligned with the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) and targets service delivery networks connected to Bomu Hospital affiliated sites, Coptic Hospitals, and faith-based sites operating in these high-need urban communities. The core purpose is to support ongoing implementation of HIV programming in facilities and community-linked sites that serve vulnerable populations where barriers to access, stigma, and resource constraints can make consistent HIV services difficult to maintain without dedicated support.

The funding mechanism is a cooperative agreement, which typically means the CDC expects to remain substantially involved in the work beyond simply providing funds. In practical terms, this kind of arrangement generally emphasizes close technical collaboration, performance monitoring, and alignment with PEPFAR country priorities, including standardized reporting, quality improvement, and adherence to national and PEPFAR guidelines. The activity category is health, and the CFDA (Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance) number listed is 93.067, which is associated with global HIV/AIDS programming.

A key feature of this opportunity is that it is continuation funding only. It is specifically intended for organizations that were already funded under the earlier announcement CDC-RFA-GH16-1690, using this continuation notice (CDC RFA GH16 169002CONT17) to extend or maintain program operations. In other words, it is not designed as an open competition for new applicants; it exists to keep previously supported grantees funded so they can continue delivering services and meeting performance targets without interruption. The eligible applicant category is described broadly as "Others," but the continuation-only restriction effectively limits eligibility to prior awardees under the original funding opportunity.

The program scope, as reflected in the title and description, centers on a full continuum of HIV services: prevention activities (such as testing and linkage strategies, risk reduction, and other evidence-based prevention interventions), clinical care and treatment (including antiretroviral therapy initiation and maintenance, retention in care, and adherence support), and the operational systems needed to sustain these services across multiple sites. Because the focus is on hospital-affiliated and faith-based delivery points, the work likely involves coordinating across facility and community settings to improve case finding, linkage to care, and long-term viral suppression outcomes in densely populated informal settlements.

Administrative details included in the source data indicate the original closing date was March 31, 2017, and the opportunity was created on January 30, 2017. The agency lists an expected 10 awards. The award ceiling is shown as 0, which usually means a specific maximum was not set or not provided in the public summary rather than implying no money is available. Overall, the opportunity is best understood as a PEPFAR-supported continuation action meant to preserve momentum and results in ongoing HIV programming in Nairobi's eastern slums by maintaining funding and CDC partnership for organizations already implementing the earlier award.
