Opportunity Summary:
The Community Empowerment of People Against Tuberculosis (CEPAT) opportunity was a USAID/Indonesia funding announcement aimed at strengthening Indonesia's health system through a focused effort on tuberculosis (TB) and community empowerment. Issued by USAID in Jakarta under Funding Opportunity Number RFA 497-11-000005, the program sat within the health sector and was framed as a system-quality improvement effort, meaning applicants were expected to propose activities that do more than deliver services in isolation. The underlying intent was to improve how the overall health system responds to TB, with an emphasis on engaging and empowering communities and affected people as part of a broader, sustainable approach.
Funding was offered through a cooperative agreement, which typically signals that USAID anticipated an active role in the program during implementation (for example, through collaboration on work planning, technical direction, monitoring priorities, and coordination with other initiatives). USAID expected to make up to three awards, with an estimated total funding amount of USD 12,000,000. Each award was structured at a fixed level, with both the award ceiling and award floor listed as USD 4,000,000, indicating USAID planned awards of roughly equal size. There was no cost-sharing or matching requirement, so applicants were not required to contribute their own funds as a condition of eligibility or competitiveness, though applicants could still propose leveraging other resources if relevant.
Eligibility was restricted to Indonesian non-governmental organizations serving as the prime applicant. At the same time, USAID explicitly allowed Indonesian NGOs to partner with experienced U.S. and non-U.S. organizations through direct partnerships or joint ventures, primarily for the purpose of capacity building. Importantly, USAID made it clear that the relationship and roles of any non-Indonesian partners needed to be clearly described and substantiated in the application, rather than mentioned informally. A stated evaluation factor was the non-Indonesian partner's demonstrated ability to build lasting technical and administrative capacity within Indonesian organizations, which suggests USAID was looking for partnerships that transfer skills and strengthen local institutions, not arrangements where an outside entity effectively runs the project.
The opportunity followed a staged submission process. The closing date of January 27, 2012 applied specifically to concept paper submissions, meaning applicants first had to submit an initial concept before any later steps USAID might request. The posting date was December 6, 2011, and the archive date was February 26, 2012. The assistance listing reference was CFDA 98.001, USAID Foreign Assistance for Programs Overseas. For further details, applicants were directed to the USAID/Indonesia website link provided in the announcement, and a point of contact was identified for access issues: Johanna Gardjito, Acquisition Specialist at USAID/Indonesia (phone: +62 21 3435 9497), referencing the funding opportunity number in communications.
Overall, CEPAT was designed as a competitively awarded health cooperative agreement opportunity for Indonesian NGOs to lead a multi-million-dollar TB-related community empowerment and health system quality improvement program, with strong encouragement for structured capacity-building partnerships when those partnerships would measurably strengthen Indonesian institutional and technical capabilities over time.
