Opportunity Summary:
This notice is a pre-solicitation announcement from USAID/Ethiopia (Addis Ababa) asking for public comments on a draft program description for a potential Request for Applications (RFA) related to the Integrated Family Health Program (IFHP) II in Ethiopia. The key point is that this is not the full funding announcement and it is not requesting proposals yet. USAID stated that, subject to Washington approval, it intends to issue an RFA under its Health program, and it is circulating the draft description on Grants.gov so that interested organizations can review it and share feedback before the final RFA is released.
The opportunity is listed on Grants.gov under Funding Opportunity Number RFA 663 14 000002 and is categorized as a discretionary funding opportunity. The planned award instrument is a Cooperative Agreement, which generally indicates substantial involvement by the funding agency during implementation (as opposed to a grant, where the recipient typically has more autonomy). The activity area is Health, and it falls under CFDA 98.001 (USAID Foreign Assistance for Programs Overseas). USAID also indicated that cost sharing or matching would be required, meaning applicants would likely need to contribute a portion of resources (cash and/or in-kind) if and when the formal RFA is issued.
In terms of potential funding scale, USAID provided an estimated total funding amount of $75,000,000, with an award ceiling of $75,000,000 and an award floor of $15,000,000. This suggests USAID anticipated making either one large award or a small number of sizable awards, but the exact structure would ultimately depend on the final RFA. Eligibility is described as “unrestricted,†meaning the opportunity was open to any type of entity unless additional eligibility limitations were specified in the full text of the announcement or later in the finalized solicitation.
Because this is a request for comments rather than an application call, the only action requested from interested parties is to submit written feedback on the draft program description. Comments were to be emailed to caddis@usaid.gov no later than February 7, 2014 (the posted closing date for this comment period). The notice also includes a practical support contact for access issues: William Ndinya, Senior Acquisition and Assistance Specialist, reachable by phone at +251 911 249 513. The announcement was posted on January 23, 2014, and the record indicates it was later archived on March 9, 2014.
Overall, this posting serves as an early market and technical consultation step, signaling USAID/Ethiopia’s intent to fund IFHP II work while giving prospective applicants and stakeholders a chance to shape the final program description through targeted comments before the competitive process formally begins.
