Opportunity Summary:
This USAID funding opportunity, titled Integrated Nutrition, Hygiene, and Sanitation (Funding Opportunity Number RFA 442 14 000001), is a discretionary award intended to support a single primary recipient in improving maternal and child nutrition outcomes in Cambodia. The award will be implemented through a Cooperative Agreement, which generally means USAID expects to be actively involved during implementation (for example, through substantial technical collaboration, ongoing coordination, and shared oversight of key program decisions), rather than simply providing funding and monitoring from a distance. The activity falls under the Food and Nutrition category and is funded through CFDA 98.001 (USAID Foreign Assistance for Programs Overseas).
The core purpose is to improve the nutritional status of mothers and children, with success measured using three headline indicators: reductions in stunting among children under five, reductions in wasting among children under five, and reductions in maternal anemia. The title signals an integrated approach that connects nutrition interventions with hygiene and sanitation improvements, reflecting the well-established relationship between infection, environmental conditions, and nutrition (for instance, repeated diarrheal disease and poor sanitation can undermine nutrient absorption and contribute to growth faltering). USAID directs applicants to the Program Description in Section I of the full announcement for the complete set of goals and expected results, implying that the posted synopsis is a high-level overview rather than the full technical scope.
In terms of who can apply, eligibility is broadly open. USAID states that it is seeking applications from U.S. or non-U.S. nongovernmental organizations, public international organizations/international organizations, or other qualified organizations, with eligibility described as unrestricted subject to any clarifications in the detailed announcement. This structure is designed to allow a wide range of implementers, including international NGOs, local or regional organizations, and potentially other types of entities that can demonstrate the technical and operational capacity to deliver integrated nutrition, hygiene, and sanitation programming at scale.
Financially, the opportunity is sizable and designed for a single awardee. USAID anticipates making one award with an estimated total funding amount of $16,250,000. The award ceiling is $16,250,000 and the award floor is $15,000,000, indicating USAID expects proposals to fall within a relatively narrow band and that the program is meant to be implemented at a substantial level of effort. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement listed, meaning applicants are not required to contribute their own funds as a condition of eligibility, although applicants sometimes still propose leveraged resources or complementary investments if they strengthen feasibility and impact.
The timeline information indicates this notice functioned as an early alert rather than a standard solicitation. The posting date is October 31, 2013, with a creation date of December 9, 2013. It is explicitly described as a pre-notice rather than a full Request for Applications, which is why an application due date was initially described as not required. However, the record also lists a current closing date of January 6, 2014, and an archive date of January 19, 2014, which suggests that the opportunity moved into a closed/archived status shortly thereafter and is not open now. For historical or documentation purposes, the administering office is listed as USAID Phnom Penh (Cambodia).
For applicants or stakeholders who needed help accessing the full announcement at the time, the point of contact provided is Honey Sokry, an Acquisition and Assistance Specialist, reachable by phone at +855 23 728345, with the reference “RFA 442 14 000001 Nutrition.”
