THIS IS NOT A REQUEST FOR APPLICATION (RFA): The United States Government, represented by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) Mission in Zambia invites comments and suggestions on its Concept Paper for a program to design and implement grants directly with Zambian community based organizations with programs that are focused on reduction of HIV transmission in specific communities.
