Opportunity Summary:
The Botswana Comprehensive Care and Support for Orphans and Vulnerable Children opportunity is a USAID Southern Africa (USAID/SA) funding announcement for a five-year program focused on improving HIV/AIDS-related support for orphans and vulnerable children (OVC) and the family members who care for them. The project is framed around strengthening community-level capacity and initiative, meaning the work is expected to help communities more effectively identify needs, connect children and families to appropriate HIV and social services, and sustain local systems that provide ongoing care and support. In practical terms, the program centers on boosting "community agency" so local actors are better able to seek services, support access to them, and directly provide or coordinate services that address the health and related vulnerabilities associated with HIV/AIDS.
The award is structured as a Cooperative Agreement, which typically signals that USAID expects to have substantial involvement during implementation compared with a standard grant. The activity falls under the Health funding category and is associated with CFDA number 98.001. USAID anticipates making a single award (ExpectedAwards: 1), with an estimated maximum funding level (AwardCeiling) of $12,300,000 for the entire project period. Because only one award is expected, the selection process is likely competitive, with strong emphasis on technical approach, capacity to operate at scale over multiple years, and the ability to coordinate effectively with community systems and relevant service providers.
Eligibility is listed as unrestricted, meaning applications are open to any type of entity, unless additional eligibility conditions are specified in the full announcement text. The funding opportunity is identified as RFA 674 16 000004 and is categorized as discretionary. The announcement was created and posted on February 18, 2016, and the application deadline (original and current) is March 18, 2016. Overall, the opportunity is aimed at supporting a qualified organization to run a comprehensive, community-oriented OVC program in Botswana that strengthens local capability to connect vulnerable children and their households to HIV/AIDS-related services and supports over a five-year period.
