Opportunity Summary:
The Fistula Prevention and Repair Project (Funding Opportunity Number SOL OAA 13 000079) was a USAID discretionary funding opportunity announced as a pre-solicitation notice for a Cooperative Agreement focused on improving health outcomes related to obstetric fistula. The central aim was to strengthen health system capacity in selected priority countries across Sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia, with work spanning prevention of fistula, earlier detection and referral, expanded access to treatment and surgical repair, and longer-term support for reintegration of affected women and girls back into their communities. In practice, this type of project typically targets the underlying health system gaps that allow fistula to occur and persist, such as limited access to quality maternal health services, weak referral networks, shortages of trained providers, inadequate surgical capacity, and insufficient post-repair follow-up and social support.
USAID indicated it expected to make a single award, with an estimated total funding amount of $75,000,000. The award ceiling and floor were both listed as $75,000,000, signaling an intent to fund one program at the full stated amount rather than issuing multiple smaller awards. The opportunity was categorized under Health and used a Cooperative Agreement funding instrument, which generally means substantial involvement by USAID during implementation compared with a standard grant. Cost sharing or matching was required, meaning the selected recipient would need to contribute resources (cash and/or allowable in-kind support) consistent with the final award terms.
Eligibility was listed as “unrestricted,” meaning the opportunity was open to a broad range of applicant entity types, subject to any additional clarifications included in the full announcement. The funding was associated with CFDA 98.001 (USAID Foreign Assistance for Programs Overseas). The notice was posted on May 14, 2013, with an original and current closing date of May 29, 2013, and it was later archived on June 28, 2013. The announcement emphasized that complete details were contained in an attached document, indicating that the posted summary served mainly as an alert that USAID planned to proceed with a competitive assistance award and that interested parties should consult the full package for program specifics, application requirements, and submission instructions.
For questions or technical issues accessing the full announcement, USAID listed two Agreement Specialists as points of contact: Ms. Stella Alexander Sergeeff (202-567-4771, salexandersergeeff@usaid.gov) and Mr. Benjamin Duodu (202-567-4799, bduodu@usaid.gov).
