Opportunity Summary:
The opportunity titled "Effective Communication Programming for Increasing Utilization of Family Planning and Reproductive Health (FP/RH) Services in Jordan" is a USAID Jordan (Amman) discretionary funding notice describing a planned cooperative agreement focused on strengthening demand for family planning and reproductive health services in Jordan. The central idea is not simply to expand service supply, but to increase utilization by improving how information is communicated to the public and key stakeholders, and by supporting policy and advocacy work that makes population and demographic considerations more consistently reflected in Government of Jordan planning and decision-making across sectors.
Programmatically, the description points to a blend of communication, policy, and advocacy interventions. On the communication side, the intent is to use effective, structured programming to influence awareness, attitudes, and behaviors related to FP/RH, which in practice often means developing and delivering targeted messages for different audiences, improving public understanding of available services, and addressing barriers that keep individuals and couples from seeking care. On the policy and advocacy side, the award is meant to support the Government of Jordan in more fully incorporating population dynamics and demographic trends into national and sectoral plans, which can include elevating the role of data in planning, helping frame demographic evidence in policy-relevant ways, and encouraging coordination across ministries and institutions so that population issues are not treated as a narrow health topic but as a cross-cutting planning consideration.
Administratively, the notice is listed under Funding Opportunity Number RFA 278 13 000003 and is categorized as discretionary funding, with the intended instrument being a cooperative agreement, signaling that USAID expected substantial involvement during implementation compared with a standard grant. The activity is in the health category and is associated with CFDA 98.001 (USAID Foreign Assistance for Programs Overseas). The posting date and creation date are May 1, 2013, with an original and current closing date of May 15, 2013, and an archive date of June 14, 2013. The listing shows no cost sharing or matching requirement. It also lists award ceiling and floor as 0, which typically indicates that specific funding amounts were not provided in this program description posting.
A key detail is that this posting explicitly states it is not a solicitation. Instead, it was a program description shared via Grants.gov for the purpose of collecting industry comments before any formal solicitation might be released. Interested parties were directed to email comments on the program description to Douglas Dye, Deputy Office Director at USAID Jordan, at ddye@usaid.gov, who is also the point of contact for assistance accessing the full announcement electronically. The eligible applicant type is listed as individuals in the provided extract, though the document is framed as an informational, feedback-seeking posting rather than an application-ready funding announcement.
