Opportunity Summary:
The Family Health Plus (FH) Project grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number RFA 620 13 000002) was a USAID/Nigeria competition for a cooperative agreement focused on strengthening family planning and reproductive health services in Nigeria. The central purpose of the award was to expand contraceptive choice by increasing the availability and use of long-acting family planning methods, often referred to as long-acting reversible contraception (LARC). In practical terms, the opportunity was designed to help women and couples gain more reliable options beyond short-term methods by improving access to long-acting methods through service delivery improvements, health system support, and related program activities described in the Program Description section of the full Request for Applications (RFA).
This was a discretionary funding opportunity under the Health funding activity category, administered by USAID in Abuja, Nigeria. The funding instrument was a cooperative agreement, which typically means the recipient would implement the project while USAID remains substantially involved in technical direction, coordination, or oversight compared with a standard grant. The opportunity anticipated a single award (Expected Awards: 1), indicating USAID intended to select one prime implementing partner to lead the project, manage resources, and coordinate implementation at national and/or subnational levels as specified in the RFA.
The estimated total funding amount was $9,000,000, and the award ceiling was also $9,000,000, with no stated minimum (award floor listed as $0). Cost sharing or matching was not required, which means applicants were not obligated to contribute a specific share of project costs from non-federal sources as a condition of eligibility or competitiveness, unless the RFA included voluntary leverage considerations.
Eligibility was not limited to a narrow category in the basic listing and was shown as "Others (see text field entitled Additional Information on Eligibility for clarification)." The official determination of who could apply, including any restrictions (for example, types of organizations, registration requirements, local partner expectations, or compliance conditions), was contained in Section III of the RFA. Interested applicants were therefore expected to consult the full announcement for the exact eligibility rules, documentation requirements, and any mandatory qualifications.
Key administrative dates for the competition were as follows: it was posted and created on April 8, 2013, with an original and current closing date of May 23, 2013, and it was archived on June 22, 2013. The CFDA number associated with the opportunity was 98.001 (USAID Foreign Assistance for Programs Overseas), which is the catalog reference used for USAID foreign assistance funding.
For applicants or organizations that had trouble accessing the full announcement electronically, USAID/Nigeria provided a contact point through its Office of Acquisition and Assistance via email at abujafhplus@usaid.gov. The public listing also referenced grants.gov as the source for the full opportunity details, including the RFA sections that spell out the program approach, application instructions, evaluation criteria, and required forms and certifications.
