Opportunity Summary:
The Community Nutrition and Health Care Project (CNHC Project) is a USAID/Guatemala competitive funding opportunity designed to improve the nutrition and overall health status of women and children living in underserved rural communities in Guatemala's Western Highlands. The project is also meant to strengthen local Government of Guatemala (GOG) structures and service delivery systems so they can provide higher-quality nutrition services, family planning, and basic health care in hard-to-reach areas. In practical terms, the opportunity targets places where distance, limited infrastructure, and weak local capacity can keep families from accessing consistent preventive and primary care, and it aims to address both the immediate service gaps and the underlying system issues that contribute to poor maternal and child health outcomes.
This opportunity was issued by USAID Guatemala City under Funding Opportunity Number USAID GUATEMALA 520 11 000004, with the title "Community Nutrition and Health Care Project." It falls under the discretionary funding category and will be implemented through a Cooperative Agreement, which typically means USAID expects substantial involvement during implementation (for example, joint planning, ongoing technical direction, and close coordination to meet program objectives). The funding activity category is Health, and the CFDA listing is 98.001, USAID Foreign Assistance for Programs Overseas. Only one award is expected, indicating USAID intends to select a single implementing partner (or a prime recipient leading a consortium) to manage and deliver the full scope of the program.
The estimated award size is large, with an award floor of $27,000,000 and an award ceiling of $32,000,000. Cost sharing or matching is required, so applicants would need to propose and document a contribution that complements USAID funding, consistent with the detailed requirements stated in the full announcement. Eligibility is listed as unrestricted, meaning the competition is open to any type of entity unless the announcement includes additional eligibility constraints or clarifications. This structure suggests USAID is focused on finding an organization (or partnership) with strong technical expertise in community nutrition and health, experience operating in rural and remote contexts, and the capacity to work closely with government systems and local stakeholders.
Key dates show the opportunity was posted on November 2, 2011, created on November 29, 2011, and originally scheduled to close on December 19, 2011. The closing date was later extended, with the current closing date listed as January 4, 2012. Organizations preparing submissions would have needed to align their proposals with USAID's expected outcomes: measurable improvements in women and children's nutrition and health indicators, stronger access to and quality of family planning and health care services, and reinforced government systems that can sustain service delivery beyond the life of the award.
For questions or issues accessing the full announcement, USAID provided a point of contact: Telma Paz, Acquisition Assistance Specialist, reachable at cnhc@usaid.gov.
