Opportunity Summary:
The APS for Sustainable Horticulture and Endangered Ecosystem (Funding Opportunity Number: USAID TANZANIA 09 003 APS) is a USAID/Tanzania funding opportunity designed to advance the mission's Foreign Assistance Framework under the Economic Growth (EG) objective. Released as an Annual Program Statement (APS), it primarily serves two functions: first, it communicates USAID/Tanzania's program priorities in this area, and second, it invites prospective applicants to develop and submit proposals for activities that align with those priorities. The opportunity is focused on natural resources and links sustainable horticulture with the protection or management of endangered ecosystems, signaling an intent to support economic growth that is environmentally responsible and conservation-aware.
This opportunity is offered as discretionary funding, using either a cooperative agreement or a grant as the funding instrument type. That distinction matters because cooperative agreements generally involve a higher level of USAID involvement in implementation compared with standard grants, such as collaboration on technical direction, monitoring, or adaptive management during the period of performance. Awards are expected to support multi-year programming, with a maximum project period of up to four years, giving implementers enough time to establish partnerships, roll out field activities, and demonstrate measurable results.
USAID anticipated making up to three awards under this APS. The estimated total funding across the opportunity was $15,460,000, with individual awards expected to fall between an award floor of $1,900,000 and an award ceiling of $5,600,000. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement stated, which lowers the barrier for applicants that may not be able to contribute non-federal resources, although applicants still typically need to demonstrate strong technical capacity, realistic budgeting, and the ability to manage U.S. government funds in compliance with applicable rules.
Eligible applicants include for-profit organizations other than small businesses, private institutions of higher education, and nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status (excluding universities, which are covered separately as private institutions of higher education). This eligibility scope suggests USAID was seeking a mix of implementers capable of delivering market-oriented horticulture programming, conservation or ecosystem management interventions, research and extension support, and on-the-ground project execution. The CFDA (now commonly referred to as Assistance Listing) number associated with the opportunity is 98.001, which is USAID Foreign Assistance for Programs Overseas.
From an application standpoint, the APS states that it explains the program objectives, the application process, and the criteria that will be used to evaluate submissions. It also notes it provides information on award administration and includes a point of contact, indicating applicants should expect guidance on required proposal components, compliance expectations, and how USAID will select among competing applications. The posting date was April 10, 2009 (created April 9, 2009), with an original and current closing date of October 10, 2009, and an archive date of November 9, 2009, meaning the solicitation is historical and no longer open.
For applicants who had trouble accessing the full announcement electronically, the listed contact was Samuel Kiranga, Acquisition Specialist at USAID Dar es Salaam, with phone number 2668503. This contact detail reflects the typical USAID practice of providing an acquisition or assistance point of contact to handle administrative questions about the solicitation, submission requirements, and access to the full APS package.
