    The USAID/Southern Africa issued a Request for Application (RFA) to solicit proposals from both existing and new partners for a project under the PEPFAR program. The document addresses frequently asked questions regarding eligibility and application procedures. All local NGOs, PVOs, faith-based organizations, and specific for-profit companies may apply. Applicants are encouraged to submit a comprehensive proposal across three objectives, focusing on strategic partnerships at the district level without splitting proposals by sub-districts. Limited funding for infrastructure renovations may be included, and capacity building traditionally does not support higher education funding directly. The document clarifies that applicants need not submit full forms or budgets at the concept stage and that cost sharing details must comply with USAID guidelines. It outlines eligibility criteria for partnerships and emphasizes the necessity of providing documentation proving local status. The anticipated funding of $425M will likely decrease over the project's five-year span, and organizations may apply for multiple districts. The focus will be predominantly on strengthening South African government facilities while community-related activities can still be supported. Lastly, the document confirms the annual budget's flexibility regarding disbursements and emphasizes the need for strategic transition planning.
