Opportunity Summary:
USAID/Kenya published a draft program description for the APHIAplus opportunity to alert potential implementers about an upcoming funding opportunity in the health sector, but it is explicitly not a request for applications. The notice is essentially an advance heads-up that the Mission anticipates making up to four cooperative agreement awards once the final Request for Applications (RFA) is officially released on Grants.gov. Until that final RFA is issued, USAID is not providing details on competition mechanics such as pricing information, application instructions, or evaluation criteria, and it is also asking organizations not to submit questions or requests for clarification about the draft materials because no responses will be provided. Any application submitted in response to the draft would not be reviewed or considered.
In terms of what can be taken from the synopsis itself, the opportunity is categorized as an earmark and will be funded through a cooperative agreement, which typically means USAID expects substantial involvement in the program during implementation (for example, through collaboration on work planning, technical direction, or monitoring). The funding activity category is health, and the CFDA listing is 98.001 (USAID Foreign Assistance for Programs Overseas). The posting indicates an anticipated total award range that, depending on how awards are structured, could be significant: an award ceiling of $76,000,000 and an award floor of $19,000,000, with up to four awards expected. Cost sharing or matching is required, signaling that awardees will likely need to contribute non-federal resources (cash and/or in-kind) as part of the overall program budget, though the exact percentage or allowable forms would only be confirmed in the final RFA.
Eligibility is described as unrestricted, meaning the competition is open to any type of entity unless additional eligibility clarifications appear in the full announcement. USAID encourages interested organizations to review the attached draft program description and an Implementation Framework referenced in the synopsis, along with other background materials hosted on the USAID/Kenya procurement website, to prepare for the forthcoming solicitation. The notice also includes basic administrative details: the funding opportunity number is RFA 623 10 000009, the opportunity title is "APHIAplus PROGRAM DESCRIPTION," and the original posting date is March 1, 2010, with administrative updates later reflected in the record (including an amendment and a current closing date listed as June 2, 2010, while still emphasizing that the complete RFA would be issued shortly).
Finally, for access issues only, the point of contact provided is Francis Kavulu, Senior Acquisition Specialist at USAID/Kenya in Nairobi (phone +254 20 862 2000). The contact note reiterates that USAID does not expect substantive questions or responses about the draft program description, underscoring that the appropriate next step for interested parties is simply to monitor Grants.gov for the official RFA and use the draft materials only as advance reference.
