Opportunity Summary:
The Integrated Family Planning and Reproductive Health Activity is a USAID/Zambia funding opportunity aimed at supporting a locally led effort to strengthen family planning and reproductive health services in Zambia. USAID/Zambia planned to make a single award under this opportunity, meaning one local prime organization would be selected to lead implementation of the activity described in the Request for Applications (RFA) program description. The focus is within the health sector, and the award type is a cooperative agreement, which typically indicates that USAID expects to have substantial involvement during implementation compared with a standard grant, such as collaborating on technical direction, monitoring, and key approvals as outlined in the agreement.
The opportunity was issued as a discretionary funding announcement under Funding Opportunity Number RFA 611-14-000004, titled Integrated Family Planning Reproductive Health Activity. The total potential funding level was up to an 11,000,000 USD ceiling, with no stated minimum award amount (award floor listed as 0). USAID anticipated one award, so applicants would be competing for a single, relatively large implementing role rather than multiple smaller awards. There was no cost-sharing or matching requirement, so applicants were not required to contribute their own funds as a condition of eligibility, although applicants often still describe leveraged resources or partnerships as part of their technical approach.
Eligibility was restricted to local Zambian organizations only, signaling a clear intent to place leadership, decision-making, and accountability with an in-country prime recipient. While the broader eligibility categories listed include certain U.S.-recognized nonprofit types (including 501(c)(3) entities) as well as non-501(c)(3) nonprofits and for-profit organizations (other than small businesses), the controlling eligibility note specifies local Zambian organizations, meaning an applicant would need to meet USAID's definition of a local entity in Zambia and be able to serve as the prime awardee. In practice, this kind of restriction usually still allows partnerships or subawards, but the prime implementer, contractual responsibility, and program leadership must sit with the eligible local organization.
Key dates show the opportunity was posted on June 2, 2014, created on June 6, 2014, and initially set to close on June 16, 2014, with a revised closing date of June 20, 2014. The archive date was July 16, 2014, indicating the announcement is no longer open. The funding is associated with CFDA number 98.001 (USAID Foreign Assistance for Programs Overseas), which is the standard catalog listing used for many USAID overseas assistance awards.
Administrative responsibility sat with USAID in Lusaka, Zambia (USAID/Zambia). The announcement provided a point of contact for applicants who could not access the full solicitation electronically: Agreement Officer Ayana Angulo at USAID, with a Lusaka phone number (+260 211 357000). Overall, the opportunity was designed to identify one capable local Zambian prime organization to implement an integrated package of family planning and reproductive health interventions, with USAID engagement through a cooperative agreement structure and a maximum available funding level of 11 million USD.
