Opportunity Summary:
The USAID grant opportunity titled "Improving Education Quality in Senegal" is a discretionary funding announcement issued by USAID Senegal (USAID Dakar) focused on the education sector. USAID planned to support work aimed at improving education quality in Senegal through a Cooperative Agreement, which typically means USAID expects to stay substantively involved during implementation (for example, through collaboration on technical direction, monitoring, and key deliverables), rather than providing a hands-off grant.
Under this Request for Applications (RFA), USAID indicated its intent to make one award, although it also explicitly reserved the right to fund any or none of the applications received. The total anticipated funding for the activity was approximately USD 20,000,000 spread across a five-year period, contingent on the availability of funds. In addition to the base program, the announcement referenced a potential option of USD 10,000,000 contemplated during the final three years of the base period, with additional detail reportedly provided in section C.7.5 of the full announcement. The award ceiling was listed as USD 20,000,000, aligning with the estimated total funding level stated in the notice.
Eligibility for applicants was described as unrestricted, meaning the competition was open to a broad range of entity types, subject to any additional eligibility conditions that might be explained in the full text of the RFA. The announcement stated there was no cost sharing or matching requirement, so applicants were not required to contribute their own funds as a condition of eligibility or selection (again, subject to any further clarification in the full solicitation).
For administrative details, the funding opportunity number was USAID SENEGAL685 10 A 01RFA, and the CFDA listing was 98.001 (USAID Foreign Assistance for Programs Overseas). The opportunity was posted and created on November 2, 2009, with an application closing date of December 14, 2009 (original and current closing dates were the same). The opportunity archive date was January 13, 2010, indicating the solicitation is no longer active.
For questions or issues accessing the full announcement, the listed point of contact was Salamata Ly, Assistance Specialist at USAID, reachable by phone at 221338696100 and by email at sly@usaid.gov.
