Opportunity Summary:
The Caring for Children and Empowering Young People (C2EYP) opportunity is a USAID/Tanzania planned cooperative agreement intended to strengthen services for Tanzania's most vulnerable children and young people, particularly those orphaned or made vulnerable by HIV and related hardships (often referred to as orphans and vulnerable children, or OVC). The project is expected to be a large, five-year award totaling about $65 million, funded primarily through the U.S. President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR). The overall aim is to help vulnerable children and youth access a broader set of essential supports that improve their long-term well-being, not only in health but also in nutrition, education, protection, livelihoods, and psychosocial care.
A central theme of the project is that improving outcomes for children and youth requires strengthening the people and systems around them, especially caregivers. USAID signals that the program will focus on building caregiver capacity so caregivers can both provide better day-to-day care and successfully connect children and youth to needed services. Alongside caregiver support, the project also emphasizes increasing and expanding age-appropriate services and ensuring children and young people actually use them, with special attention to those who are hard to reach due to geography, stigma, social exclusion, or other barriers. In practice, this suggests integrated community-based support that helps families navigate services and reduces gaps between what exists and what is accessed.
C2EYP is also designed to align with the PEPFAR "continuum of care" in Tanzania, meaning it is meant to operate in coordination with HIV clinical programs rather than as a standalone social program. USAID indicates the project will be implemented in regions where USAID and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) support clinical HIV activities, enabling two-way referrals between community and clinic settings. The program is expected to refer families to HIV-related services and to receive referrals from clinical partners, with particular linkage to Prevention of Mother-to-Child Transmission (PMTCT) and pediatric HIV care and treatment. That linkage focus implies the program will likely play a role in identifying needs within households affected by HIV, supporting retention and adherence indirectly through household stability and psychosocial support, and ensuring children and caregivers do not fall through the cracks after clinic visits.
From a funding and administrative standpoint, this notice was issued as a draft Request for Applications (RFA), not as a call for full proposals. USAID/Tanzania specifically stated it was only seeking comments on the attached draft RFA by 4:00 pm East Africa Time on November 19, 2014, and explicitly instructed interested parties not to submit an application at that stage. The opportunity is listed as discretionary funding, using a cooperative agreement instrument, which typically means substantial involvement by the U.S. government during implementation compared with a standard grant. The posting indicates one expected award and notes that cost sharing or matching is required. Eligibility is described as unrestricted (open to any type of entity), subject to any additional eligibility details that would be contained in the full RFA text.
Key listing details include the funding opportunity number "USAID TANZANIA 14 000002 DRAFT RFA," a posted date of October 29, 2014, and a closing date of November 19, 2014 for comments on the draft. For access issues or questions about the announcement itself, the contact provided is Amy Wire, Agreements Specialist (phone 202-567-4301; email awire@usaid.gov).
