This is a new activity under COP09.

An inter-agency Annual Program Statement (APS) will be launched to solicit applications for funding from

prospective new partners to support implementation of PEPFAR in Mozambique. The purpose of the

interagency APS is to identify new and diverse partners, respond to emerging issues throughout the fiscal

year, encourage innovation and local responses, and increase the number of Mozambican organizations

receiving and managing PEPFAR funding across Agencies.

With $500,000 in USAID funds and another $500,000 in CDC funding in FY 09, the APS will start relatively

small and build upon lessons learned from the implementation of a similar mechanism in South Africa to

pilot new agency-specific and inter-agency activities. The APS will have considerable interface with the

Umbrella Grants Mechanism that may incorporate partners selected under the APS.

OHSS funds will focus on civil society development, networking, advocacy, local capacity development and

institutional systems strengthening for increased sustainability. In addition, the APS has the potential to

expand the mix of innovative proposals in the Mozambique portfolio to include wrap-arounds and cross-

cutting areas such as gender, food and nutrition, human capacity development, economic strengthening,

malaria, and service integration. Public-private partnerships, partner consortia and South-to-South initiatives

involving other countries in the region and collaboration with Brazil will be strongly encouraged.

The number of partners will depend on the quality of proposals and on budget limitations. USAID expects a

minimum of three and a maximum of five awards total between $50,000 and $150,000 will be funded in year

one.

The PEPFAR team will develop an interagency process for identifying ideas for potential funding, reviewing

applications and making award decisions. Toward the end of year one, we will evaluate the success of the

mechanism with a view to expanding the level of funding and number of partners in outyears.

Deliverables:

- APS competed and awarded;

- Interagency management team established.
