Opportunity Summary:
USAID Mission Kampala announced a discretionary health funding opportunity titled "Expanding Access to Long Term Planning Methods in Uganda" (Funding Opportunity Number: USAID UGANDA RFA 617-10-000001). The program is designed to expand access to long-term family planning methods across Uganda by increasing both the breadth and depth of family planning service delivery. In practical terms, the focus is on strengthening and widening service availability so more people can obtain longer-acting family planning options through a more robust delivery system.
The award is planned as a single cooperative agreement, meaning USAID expects to have substantial involvement during implementation compared with a standard grant. Subject to funding availability, USAID intended to provide approximately USD 10,000,000 in total support over a five-year period, with an award ceiling of USD 10,000,000 and no stated minimum (award floor of USD 0). There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement listed. The opportunity falls under CFDA 98.001 (USAID Foreign Assistance for Programs Overseas), and the estimated number of awards is one, indicating a competitive process that will select a single primary implementer.
Eligibility is intentionally limited to Ugandan local (indigenous) organizations. Applicants must be independently owned, operated, and managed within Uganda; have their headquarters in Uganda; be licensed or incorporated under Ugandan law; and hold a majority of their assets in Uganda. The competition is also open to Ugandan for-profit firms and non-profit organizations, including those applying as partnerships or consortia, but the core requirement remains that the applicant(s) must qualify as locally registered entities headquartered in Uganda. USAID explicitly encourages competition and notes that small NGOs may apply with one or more partners if they choose, and they may appear on multiple applications. The solicitation also signals an interest in broadening the partner base by encouraging applications from potential new partners.
The award would be administered under the U.S. federal assistance framework, including relevant OMB circulars, 22 CFR 226, USAID Automated Directives System (ADS) Chapter 303 (Grants and Cooperative Agreements with Non-Governmental Organizations), and the standard provisions referenced in the solicitation (Section E of the RFA). The opportunity was posted on November 25, 2009, and closed on January 8, 2010 (with the same date listed as both the original and current closing date), and it was archived on February 7, 2010.
For applicants who needed help accessing the full announcement, the listed contact was Geraldine Kyazze, AA Specialist, reachable by phone at 25641306001, associated with USAID/Uganda in Kampala.
