Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "MOVING INTO THE FUTURE WITH THE YOUTH (PaMawa ndi a Chinyamata)" is a USAID Malawi funding announcement focused on work at the intersection of environment and health, with an emphasis on youth. It was issued by USAID in Lilongwe, Malawi, and is presented as a discretionary funding opportunity, meaning the agency competitively selects the recipient based on the application and how well it meets the program goals described in the full announcement.
This opportunity is offered under Funding Opportunity Number RFA 612 15 000003 and will be funded through a Cooperative Agreement. A cooperative agreement typically indicates that USAID expects to be substantially involved in the implementation of the program, not just providing funds and stepping back. In practice, this often means the awardee collaborates closely with USAID on planning, coordination, monitoring, reporting, and possibly technical direction during the life of the project.
USAID anticipated making one award under this announcement. The total estimated funding for the opportunity is USD 6,000,000, and the award floor and award ceiling are both set at USD 6,000,000, which strongly suggests the agency intended to fully fund a single project at that exact amount rather than issuing multiple smaller awards or negotiating a wide range of budgets. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement listed, so applicants were not required to contribute their own funds as a condition of eligibility, although applicants sometimes still propose leveraged resources or in-kind support if it strengthens the overall approach.
Eligibility for this opportunity is listed as "Unrestricted," meaning it was open to any type of entity, as long as the applicant met any additional eligibility conditions that may have been described in the full text of the announcement. In similar USAID opportunities, unrestricted eligibility can include local and international non-governmental organizations, for-profit entities, universities, research organizations, and other qualified institutions, but the final determination would depend on any clarifications included in the "Additional Information on Eligibility" section of the full solicitation.
The announcement was posted on June 10, 2015, with the same creation date, and it had an original and current closing date of July 22, 2015. That timeline indicates a relatively standard application window of a little over a month. Applicants would have been expected to submit their full application package by the closing date, following USAID formatting, technical proposal, and budget requirements as specified in the full announcement.
