Opportunity Summary:
The Expanding Maternal and Neonatal Survival (EMAS) opportunity is a USAID/Indonesia funding call aimed at strengthening the quality of Indonesia's health system, with a clear emphasis on improving outcomes for mothers and newborns. Issued out of USAID Jakarta, the program is positioned within the health sector and is designed to support a large, multi-year effort that can operate at scale. The core intent is to back an implementing partner that can contribute to measurable improvements in the performance and quality of maternal and neonatal health services, consistent with broader health system quality-improvement goals.
This solicitation was released as a Request for Applications (RFA) under Funding Opportunity Number RFA 497 11 000002, titled "Expanding Maternal and Neonatal Survival (EMAS)." The award mechanism is a cooperative agreement, which typically means USAID expects substantial involvement during implementation, such as collaborating on planning, monitoring, learning, and key technical decisions, rather than simply providing funds with minimal oversight. Only one award was anticipated, so applicants were competing for a single prime award intended to serve as the main vehicle for implementation.
The project was planned for an estimated five-year period of performance, with total funding not to exceed $55,000,000 over the life of the project. The notice lists the total estimated funding as $55 million, with an award ceiling and award floor both set at $55 million, signaling that USAID expected to make one large award at that approximate level rather than multiple smaller awards. The funding was to be provided incrementally across the project period, meaning the recipient would receive funds in installments tied to time periods, performance, and availability of funds, rather than receiving the full amount upfront.
Eligibility was broadly framed. The opportunity was open to U.S. and non-U.S. non-governmental organizations (NGOs) as well as U.S. universities. The eligibility language also clarifies that U.S. universities, including those that have a U.S. state name in their title, are considered U.S. NGOs for the purposes of this program. While the listing labels eligibility as "unrestricted" in the sense that it is open to the entity types described, applicants would still need to meet any additional eligibility clarifications included in the full RFA text.
A cost sharing or matching requirement applied, meaning applicants were expected to contribute a portion of project resources (cash and/or in-kind, depending on the RFA's specifics). Because cost share can significantly affect the total project budget and the competitiveness of an application, organizations would typically need to plan for how they would document, value, and track cost share contributions in compliance with USAID rules.
Administratively, the opportunity falls under CFDA number 98.001 (USAID Foreign Assistance for Programs Overseas). It was posted on December 17, 2010, with a closing date of February 17, 2011, and it was archived on March 19, 2011. For issues accessing the full announcement, the point of contact listed was Johanna Gardjito, an A&A Specialist at USAID/Indonesia, reachable by phone at +62 21 3435 9497, referencing "RFA 497 11 000002/EMAS."
