Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled COMMUNITY BASED LIVELIHOOD DEVELOPMENT FOR WOMEN AND CHILDREN (C BLD) IN SWAZILAND is a USAID-funded, five-year cooperative agreement focused on improving economic well-being and protection outcomes for vulnerable families in Swaziland (now Eswatini). The program is structured around three core aims: building the livelihood capabilities of vulnerable households, strengthening the ability of local organizations to deliver effective economic strengthening and livelihoods services, and advancing gender equality by promoting equal economic status for women and men while protecting the rights of women and children. In practical terms, the opportunity is geared toward community-based approaches that help households increase income stability and resilience, while also ensuring that women and children are safer, have stronger rights protections, and benefit equitably from economic gains.
This funding opportunity was issued by USAID through the South Africa USAID Mission in Pretoria under Funding Opportunity Number RFA 674 11 0042. It is categorized as a discretionary award and uses a cooperative agreement instrument, which typically means the funder expects substantial involvement during implementation (for example, close coordination on planning, monitoring, and technical direction compared to a more hands-off grant). The activity is listed under the Health funding category, which is consistent with USAID programming where livelihoods and economic strengthening are often linked to health and social outcomes, especially in contexts affected by poverty, inequality, and vulnerability among women and children.
USAID anticipated making one award under this announcement. The total funding level is set with both an award ceiling and award floor of USD 5,820,000, indicating the agency expected a single award at approximately that amount rather than a range of possible budgets. The associated CFDA number is 98.001 (USAID Foreign Assistance for Programs Overseas), reflecting that this is an overseas assistance program. A cost sharing or matching requirement applies, meaning applicants were expected to contribute a portion of resources (cash and/or in-kind, depending on the specific guidance in the full announcement) alongside USAID funds.
Eligibility is listed as unrestricted, meaning the opportunity was open to a broad range of applicants, including nonprofits, for-profits, and other eligible entities, subject to any additional eligibility clarifications in the full solicitation. Key dates show the posting date as August 10, 2011, with an original closing date of September 9, 2011, later extended to a current closing date of September 19, 2011. The opportunity was archived on September 26, 2011, indicating the competition period had ended and the listing was no longer active after that point.
For administrative and access support, the contact person provided in the announcement is Yvonne Habulembe, Acquisition Assistance Specialist, reachable by phone at +27 12 452 2367 or by email at yhabulembe@usaid.gov. This contact was specifically offered for applicants who had difficulty accessing the full announcement electronically, which suggests that detailed application instructions, required documentation, and technical program expectations were contained in the full solicitation package rather than the summary listing.
