Opportunity Summary:
Advancing Newborn, Child and Reproductive Health (ANCRE) is a USAID/Benin grant opportunity focused on improving child and reproductive health outcomes in Benin through a multi-year implementation program. The award is being offered by the United States Government through the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) Mission to Benin (based in Cotonou) and is intended to fund one primary program over a four-year period. The activity sits within the health sector and is framed as part of USAID/Benin's broader efforts to advance newborn, child, and reproductive health services and results, with actual funding subject to availability as described in the Request for Applications (RFA).
From a funding and award structure perspective, the opportunity is issued as a discretionary assistance award using a Cooperative Agreement, which typically means USAID expects substantial involvement during implementation (for example, active collaboration on technical approaches, monitoring, or key workplan decisions, depending on the final agreement terms). USAID anticipates making a single award under this RFA. The estimated total funding is $10,000,000, with an award ceiling of $10,000,000 and an award floor of $3,000,000, signaling that proposals could vary in scale but must meet a minimum threshold. A cost sharing or matching requirement applies, so applicants should plan for a documented contribution in line with the RFA instructions and USAID rules.
Eligibility is broad but still targeted to organizations with the capacity to deliver international health programs. Eligible applicants include qualified U.S. private voluntary organizations (USPVOs), U.S. and non-U.S. non-governmental organizations (NGOs), and private nonprofit organizations. For-profit entities may also apply, but only if they are willing to forego profits, which effectively aligns the implementer with nonprofit-style cost principles for this activity. USAID also notes an interest in expanding and diversifying its partner base, which suggests the Agency is open to new or less traditional implementers, as long as they can demonstrate technical competence, compliance capacity, and the ability to operate effectively in Benin.
Administratively, the opportunity is identified as Funding Opportunity Number USAID BENIN 680 13 00000 RFA, under CFDA 98.001 (USAID Foreign Assistance for Programs Overseas). The original posting date and creation date are July 25, 2013. While the original closing date was July 26, 2013, the closing date was extended, and the current closing date listed is September 9, 2013. Organizations planning to apply would need to follow the full RFA package for the required application format, program description elements, cost share documentation, and any mandated registrations or certifications typical of USAID assistance awards.
