Community Based Prevention Initiative For Orphans and Vulnerable Children, Youth and other Vulnerable Populations Program (COPI OVC) | Apply Online

Opportunity Summary:

The Community Based Prevention Initiative for Orphans and Vulnerable Children, Youth and other Vulnerable Populations Program (COPI OVC) is a discretionary USAID grant opportunity issued by USAID in Zambia (USAID Lusaka) under CFDA 98.001, which covers USAID foreign assistance programs overseas. The opportunity sits in the health funding activity category and is designed to support community-based prevention approaches that address the needs of orphans and vulnerable children (OVC), youth, and other vulnerable groups. In practical terms, this kind of program typically aims to reduce vulnerability and prevent negative outcomes by strengthening community systems and services around children and youth, improving access to basic care and protection, and reinforcing local capacity to identify and respond to risk factors affecting vulnerable households.

This particular posting is Amendment No. 1 to the original Request for Applications (RFA). The stated purpose of the amendment is administrative and clarifying: it responds to questions that applicants submitted after the RFA was released and it extends the closing date. Amendments like this are commonly used to level-set expectations, clarify eligibility or application instructions, answer technical questions about program design and budgeting, and correct or refine language in the solicitation so applicants can prepare compliant proposals. The grant was posted and created on February 11, 2010. The original closing date was March 4, 2010, and the current closing date is also listed as March 4, 2010, with the archive date of April 3, 2010, indicating when the opportunity would be taken down from active listings.

Funding for the program is substantial and appears structured for a single large award. USAID anticipates making 1 award, with an estimated total funding amount of $54,000,000. The award ceiling is $54,000,000 and the award floor is $50,000,000, which suggests USAID expects proposals that fit within a narrow, high-value range and that the eventual award will likely be close to the full amount. The opportunity includes a cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning the recipient is expected to contribute a portion of project costs through cash and/or allowable in-kind contributions, consistent with the rules and details laid out in the full RFA text and amendment.

Eligibility is listed as unrestricted, meaning the competition is open to a wide range of applicant types (for example, nonprofits, universities, for-profit entities, and potentially other organizations), subject to any additional eligibility conditions described in the full announcement. Because this is a USAID overseas assistance opportunity administered through USAID Zambia, applicants would typically need to pay close attention to USAID standard provisions, branding and marking rules, financial and reporting requirements, and any country-context expectations that may be specified in the RFA.

For applicants who need the full announcement materials but have trouble accessing them electronically, the contact provided is Cecilia Kasoma, Acquisition Specialist at USAID, reachable by phone at 260211254303 or by email at ckasoma@usaid.gov. The amendment is referenced as "RFA Amendment#01," and the funding opportunity number is listed as 611 2010 06 RFA AMENDMENT 01, which applicants would use when corresponding with USAID or searching for the solicitation package and associated questions-and-answers document.
