Opportunity Summary:
This funding opportunity is a USAID/Tanzania Request for Applications (RFA) to support a project focused on civic and voter education ahead of Tanzania's 2010 general elections. USAID is looking for qualified, registered local Tanzanian non-governmental organizations (NGOs) to carry out activities that help prepare citizens to participate effectively and responsibly in the electoral process. The award type is a Cooperative Agreement, which generally means USAID expects a more hands-on partnership during implementation than under a standard grant, with closer coordination on planning, monitoring, and achievement of results.
The legal authority for the RFA comes from the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961, as amended. While the detailed goals and expected results are referenced as being fully described in Section C (the Program Description) of the RFA, the overall intent is clear from the title and framing: to fund civic and voter education programming that supports informed participation in the 2010 elections. The organization selected would be responsible for delivering the project and ensuring the program objectives are met, including any required reporting, performance tracking, and compliance expectations that typically come with USAID assistance awards.
USAID anticipates providing a total of about USD 620,000 for this activity, covering a project period of up to one year. The listing shows both an award ceiling and an award floor of 620,000, which signals that the agency expected an award (or awards) around that amount, subject to funds being available. USAID notes it planned to make one or two awards, but it also explicitly reserves the right to fund more than one organization, fund none of the applications submitted, or otherwise adjust its approach at its discretion.
A key financial condition is that USAID does not permit profit under assistance instruments, consistent with 22 CFR 226.81. At the same time, the award can cover reasonable, allocable, and allowable project costs, including both direct and indirect expenses, as long as they comply with the relevant U.S. government cost principles and regulations. The announcement references 22 CFR 226 and applicable federal cost standards such as OMB Circular A-122 (for nonprofit organizations) and OMB Circular A-21 (for universities), as well as FAR Part 31 for cost guidance related to for-profit entities, even though eligibility here is limited to local Tanzanian NGOs. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants are not required to contribute their own funds as a condition of eligibility.
Administratively, the opportunity is identified as Funding Opportunity Number RFA USAID TANZANIA 10 001 and is associated with CFDA number 98.001 (USAID Foreign Assistance for Programs Overseas). It was posted and created on November 13, 2009, with an application deadline of December 11, 2009, and an archive date of January 10, 2010. The USAID mission office in Dar es Salaam is the issuing agency. For access issues or questions about the full announcement, the contact provided is Monica Gindo, Acquisition and Assistance Specialist, reachable by phone at +255 22 2668449 and by email at monica_gindo (as written in the notice).
