Opportunity Summary:
USAID East Africa (based in Nairobi, Kenya) issued a Request for Applications for the Central African Republic (CAR) Rural Roads Rehabilitation and Maintenance Program, a transportation-focused grant opportunity intended to improve rural road conditions through rehabilitation and ongoing maintenance. The program is funded under the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961, as amended, and is designed to support implementation of activities that meet the objectives and expected results described in the solicitation (referenced as Section C of the RFA). In practical terms, applicants were expected to propose a program that meaningfully restores rural road access and puts in place workable maintenance approaches over the life of the award, consistent with USAID assistance requirements.
The funding instrument for this opportunity is a Cooperative Agreement, meaning USAID anticipated substantial involvement during implementation compared with a standard grant. USAID planned to make one award total, with an estimated total funding amount of USD 2,475,000. Notably, the award floor and ceiling are both listed as USD 2,475,000, which signals the agency intended a single, fixed-size award rather than a range. Funding was to be provided incrementally, so the recipient would receive portions of the total amount over time based on USAID’s schedule and satisfactory progress and requirements.
The maximum period of performance was two years, and applicants needed to design a program that could be fully completed within that timeframe. The anticipated award date was mid-June 2009, indicating a relatively short turnaround between the application deadline and the planned start of implementation. A cost sharing or matching requirement applied, so the selected recipient would be expected to contribute some portion of resources in addition to USAID funds, consistent with the specific terms laid out in the full announcement.
Eligibility was listed as “unrestricted,” meaning the competition was open to any type of entity as long as it met the solicitation’s detailed eligibility conditions and any additional clarifications in the RFA. The opportunity was posted on April 17, 2009, and the closing date was May 18, 2009. The Funding Opportunity Number is 623 EA 09 020, and the CFDA listing is 98.001 (USAID Foreign Assistance for Programs Overseas). For applicants who could not access the announcement electronically, the listed point of contact was Amina Fazaldeen, an Agreement Assistant Specialist, reachable by phone at 0540208622491 and by email at afazaldeen@usaid.gov. The public listing referenced Grants.gov as the source for the full announcement details and application instructions.
