Opportunity Summary:
This funding opportunity, titled "Food and Nutrition Interventions for People Living with HIV/AIDS," is a USAID/Rwanda solicitation issued out of the USAID mission in Kigali. It is a discretionary grant opportunity using a cooperative agreement, which generally means USAID expects to have substantial involvement in guiding or collaborating on implementation rather than simply providing funds with minimal engagement. The activity area is explicitly focused on food and nutrition, with the intended beneficiaries being people living with HIV/AIDS, and the overall aim is to support interventions that address nutritional needs and food-related vulnerabilities that can affect health outcomes for this population.
The notice you provided is specifically for Amendment No. 01 to the original solicitation. The stated purpose of this amendment is administrative and clarifying: it was released to answer questions that the issuing office received by Tuesday, January 29, 2008. In other words, the amendment functions as an official Q-and-A or clarification document to help applicants interpret requirements, prepare responsive applications, and understand expectations before submitting proposals.
USAID anticipated making up to three awards under this announcement, with an estimated total funding level of $16,000,000. The listed award ceiling is also $16,000,000, indicating that the total amount available and the maximum potential size of an individual award are both capped at that level (though with multiple expected awards, actual individual award amounts would typically be lower unless only one award were made). The funding is associated with CFDA number 98.001, which covers USAID foreign assistance programs overseas. A cost-sharing or matching requirement applies, meaning applicants would need to contribute a portion of project costs from non-federal sources consistent with the solicitation terms.
Eligibility is limited to nonprofit organizations that have 501(c)(3) status with the IRS, excluding institutions of higher education. This narrows the applicant pool to qualifying U.S.-recognized nonprofit entities (and potentially their partners, depending on the solicitation rules), and it signals that the competition is structured around nonprofit implementers rather than universities or for-profit contractors.
Key dates show the opportunity was posted on January 18, 2008, with a closing deadline of February 19, 2008 at 3:00 p.m. Kigali time. The closing date remained unchanged after the amendment (current closing date matches the original closing date), and the opportunity was archived on March 20, 2008. For applicants who could not access the full announcement electronically, the listed point of contact was Aster Kebede, Senior Acquisition and Assistance Specialist, reachable by phone at 250570940 ext. 269. The funding opportunity number is USAID RWANDA 696 08 004 RFA, which applicants would use to identify the solicitation in correspondence and submissions.
