Opportunity Summary:
The Health Media Project (HMP), Kenya is a USAID-funded opportunity managed through the USAID mission in Nairobi and issued as a discretionary cooperative agreement. In practical terms, that means USAID intended to select one main awardee and then work closely with that organization during implementation, with ongoing collaboration and substantial engagement from the agency rather than a hands-off grant model. The activity falls under the health category and is tied to USAID foreign assistance programming overseas (CFDA 98.001), indicating it is part of broader international development assistance rather than a domestic U.S. health program.
The funding profile shows a single expected award with an estimated total budget of $8,000,000. The anticipated award range is relatively tight, with an award floor of $7,500,000 and an award ceiling of $8,000,000, which suggests USAID had a defined scope and budget in mind and expected proposals to align closely with that range. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, so applicants would not be required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of eligibility or competitiveness, though applicants often still describe leveraged resources or complementary support in their applications when relevant.
Key dates indicate the announcement was posted on September 20, 2012, with an original closing date of October 22, 2012, later extended to October 29, 2012. The record lists a creation date of October 16, 2012, and an archive date of November 28, 2012, meaning the opportunity is long closed and preserved for reference. Because eligibility is listed broadly as "Others" with a note to consult the RFA for details, the specific types of organizations allowed to apply (for example, NGOs, universities, private firms, local entities, consortia, or other institutional categories) were defined in the full solicitation rather than in the summary record.
As presented in the listing, the detailed technical scope, required outcomes, geographic focus within Kenya, target populations, media and communication approaches, monitoring and evaluation requirements, staffing expectations, and application submission instructions are all contained in the full RFA announcement rather than the short synopsis. For applicants at the time, the primary point of contact for access issues was Rose Kinuthia, an Acquisition Assistance Specialist at USAID Kenya in Nairobi, reachable by phone at +254 20 862 2000.
