Program To Reduce the Impact of HIV/AIDS Within the Correctional 
Services System of South Africa; Notice of Intent To Fund Single 
Eligibility Award

A. Purpose

    The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) announces the 
intent to award fiscal year (FY) 2005 funds for a cooperative agreement 
program. The purpose of the program is to continue and expand the HIV/
AIDS prevention, care and support services currently available to 
prisoners and staff in the correctional centers in all nine provinces 
of South Africa. The program will focus on the following key areas: 
Prevention, care and support, capacity building, policy implementation, 
and monitoring and evaluation.
    The Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance number for this program 
is 93.067.

B. Eligible Applicant

    Assistance will be provided only to the South Africa DCS. No other 
applications are solicited.
    The South Africa DCS is the only appropriate and qualified 
organization to conduct a specific set of activities supportive of the 
CDC GAP's technical assistance to South Africa because the DCS is 
uniquely positioned, in terms of legal authority and commitment, to 
continue and expand HIV/AIDS prevention, care and support services to 
the prisoners and staff in correctional centers in South Africa.

C. Funding

    Approximately $1,000,000 is available in FY 2005 to fund this 
award. It is expected that the award will begin on or before August 31, 
2005, and will be made for a 12-month budget period within a project 
period of up to five years. Funding estimates may change.
