Opportunity Summary:
This opportunity is a USAID/Cambodia Annual Program Statement (APS) focused on public health programming, specifically maternal and child health, tuberculosis, HIV/AIDS, and malaria. The item described as "Modification 1 Questions and Answer to the APS" indicates this posting is not a brand-new solicitation on its own, but an official amendment to the original APS (Funding Opportunity Number APS 442 13 000001) that provides clarifications through a questions-and-answers format. In practical terms, that kind of modification is usually meant to resolve common applicant uncertainties, explain how USAID will interpret certain requirements, and reduce the risk that proposals are rejected for avoidable compliance issues. Applicants would be expected to review the original APS and then apply any updated guidance or clarifications contained in Modification 1 when preparing or finalizing their submissions.
The program is administered by USAID in Phnom Penh, Cambodia, and falls under the Health funding activity category. USAID anticipated making up to eight awards under this APS framework, with an estimated total funding amount of $400,000. Individual award sizes were expected to range from a floor of $25,000 to a ceiling of $100,000. The opportunity explicitly stated that cost sharing or matching was not required, which typically lowers barriers for local organizations and smaller implementers that may not have the resources to contribute significant non-federal funds. The funding instrument type and opportunity category are both listed as "Other," which often suggests flexibility in the type of award or agreement mechanism USAID may use under an APS (as opposed to a single, fixed mechanism), and can also mean the APS is designed to attract a range of concept papers or applications that USAID can then support through appropriate award structures.
Timing-wise, the posting date and creation date were both January 18, 2013. The original closing date and the current closing date were the same: February 22, 2013, meaning the modification did not extend the deadline and applicants still had to meet the original submission cutoff. The archive date was May 30, 2013, which generally reflects when the opportunity was formally closed out in the public listing system after the submission window ended and administrative processing continued.
Eligibility is described broadly as "Others," with a note directing applicants to consult the APS text and Modification 1 for clarification. That wording commonly indicates that eligibility may include a mix of organizations such as local and international non-governmental organizations, community-based organizations, academic or research institutions, and potentially other non-traditional partners, but with specific conditions spelled out in the full APS (for example, registration requirements, proof of organizational capacity, compliance with USAID policies, or restrictions tied to the type of entity). Because the listing emphasizes that applicants should refer to both the APS and the modification for eligibility details, the safest interpretation is that the definitive eligibility rules were not fully captured in the brief synopsis and could include important nuances.
For access and support, USAID provided a point of contact for applicants who had trouble retrieving the full announcement electronically: Honey Sokry, an Acquisition and Assistance Specialist, with a Cambodia phone number (+855 23 728345) and email (hsokry@usaid.gov). This kind of contact information is typically used for administrative questions, document access issues, and in some cases clarification requests that may then be incorporated into an official Q&A modification to ensure all applicants receive the same information.
Overall, the opportunity represents a relatively small-grants APS mechanism intended to fund multiple awards in Cambodia across four major health areas, with no cost-share requirement, defined minimum and maximum award amounts, and an official Q&A modification meant to clarify proposal expectations and submission requirements without changing the deadline.
