The Union Zimbabwe Trust

The Union Zimbabwe Trust, a non-profit organization headquartered in Harare, Zimbabwe, is a federal grant recipient working on tuberculosis prevention and treatment programs as a prime grantee and sub-grantee for the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID). The organization operates exclusively in the federal grant space, not federal contracting, with all recent awards routed through USAID's Bureau for Global Health or regional USAID offices.

The Union Zimbabwe Trust's recent federal footprint centers on TB response and surveillance work. As a prime grantee, the organization holds two cooperative agreements with USAID's Bureau for Global Health, both awarded October 1, 2024, with five-year terms running through September 30, 2029, for TB prevention and response programming. Combined obligated dollars across all awards total $26.2 million. The organization also appears as a sub-grantee under JSI Research & Training Institute Inc., with a sub-award dated August 5, 2026, focused on improving drug-resistant tuberculosis (DR-TB) treatment outcomes through rollout of a DR-TB case-based surveillance system, or "DR-TB tracker." Funding Federal Agency lines show three USAID entities — the Bureau for Global Health, the Bureau for Management Office of the Assistant Administrator, and the Zimbabwe country mission — accounting for 100% of awards.

Activity is sparse but recent: one award in 2019, two in 2024, and one sub-award in 2026. The organization's grant portfolio is narrow, with no presence on federal contract vehicles, IDIQs, GWACs, or agency-wide multiple-award platforms. The organization operates as a prime recipient on 75% of its award count and as a sub-recipient on the balance. All work centers on health programming — specifically TB prevention, treatment surveillance, and case management — in Zimbabwe and regionally, with no domestic U.S. operations reflected in the award record.
