Opportunity Summary:
This opportunity is a USAID/Afghanistan (USAID Kabul) request for applications titled "Family Planning, Maternal, Newborn and Child Health (FP/MNCH) Interventions," issued as Amendment 1 to the original RFA. The program falls under USAID foreign assistance for overseas programs (CFDA 98.001) and sits in the health sector, specifically focusing on family planning and the full continuum of care for mothers, newborns, and children. The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which typically means the awardee should expect substantial involvement from USAID during implementation, such as collaborative planning, technical direction, approvals for key deliverables, and ongoing coordination to meet program objectives.
USAID anticipated making a single award under this announcement, with total estimated funding of $60,000,000. The award structure is unusual in that the ceiling and the floor are both listed as $60,000,000, signaling that USAID expected one award at the full stated amount rather than a range of possible award sizes. The opportunity included a cost-sharing or matching requirement, so applicants would need to contribute a portion of program resources (cash and/or allowable in-kind support) according to the rules spelled out in the full RFA text and the applicable USAID assistance regulations.
Eligibility was listed as "unrestricted," meaning it was broadly open to any type of entity (for example, nonprofits, for-profits, universities, or other organizations), subject to any additional eligibility conditions or clarifications that might appear in the RFA. The opportunity was posted on June 5, 2014, with a creation date of June 19, 2014, and it carried an application deadline of July 9, 2014 (the current and original closing dates match, so the deadline did not change in the summary data). The archive date was August 8, 2014, indicating the announcement is no longer active.
From the title and activity category, the intent of the award can be understood as supporting interventions that improve access to and quality of family planning services and strengthen maternal, newborn, and child health outcomes in Afghanistan. In practice, programs under this umbrella commonly include service delivery improvements, community outreach and behavior change efforts, strengthening supply chains for contraceptives and essential medicines, training and mentoring of health workers, quality improvement for antenatal and postnatal care, skilled birth attendance and emergency referral readiness, newborn care practices, and child health services that reduce preventable illness and deaths. Because it is a cooperative agreement, the design would typically emphasize measurable results, close collaboration with USAID and host-country counterparts, and implementation approaches that can operate in complex field conditions.
For administrative and access issues, the notice directs applicants who have trouble retrieving the full announcement electronically to contact Francinah Hlatshwayo, Acquisition and Assistance Specialist, at +93 700 114 142 or via email at kabulaidoaamailbox@usaid.gov.
