Opportunity Summary:
USAID/Malawi is offering a single, large cooperative agreement under a discretionary Request for Applications titled "One Community" (Funding Opportunity Number RFA 612 15 000001). The opportunity sits in the health sector and is grounded in the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961 (as amended) and the applicable federal assistance regulations in 2 CFR 200. In practical terms, this means USAID expects an implementing partner to carry out a substantial HIV-focused program in Malawi with close collaboration and substantial involvement from USAID, which is typical of a cooperative agreement.
The central purpose of the One Community activity is to reduce the overall impact of HIV and to prevent new HIV infections among targeted Malawian priority populations. The program is framed around helping these populations achieve their maximum potential as individuals and as citizens of Malawi, which signals an emphasis not only on clinical or biomedical outcomes but also on broader well-being, inclusion, and the ability of affected communities to thrive. The selected recipient will be responsible for delivering results and ensuring the activity meets its stated objectives, indicating an expectation of strong program management, measurable performance, and accountability for outcomes.
Financially, USAID plans to make one award with an estimated total funding amount of USD 39,000,000. Both the award ceiling and the award floor are listed as USD 39,000,000, suggesting the agency anticipated awarding the full amount as a single package rather than a range of possible funding levels. The listing also notes a cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning the applicant should expect to contribute non-federal resources (cash and/or in-kind, depending on the specific terms in the full announcement) as part of the overall activity budget.
Eligibility is described as "unrestricted," which generally means the competition is open to a wide range of entity types (for example, non-profits, for-profits, universities, and other organizations), subject to any additional constraints that may be spelled out in the full funding announcement under the eligibility section. The opportunity was posted on April 20, 2015, with an application deadline of May 19, 2015 at 5:00 PM Malawi time (the original and current closing dates are the same). The issuing office is USAID in Lilongwe, Malawi.
For questions or access issues related to the full announcement, the listed contact is Rajab Banda, Acquisition and Assistance Specialist, reachable by phone at 002651772455 or by email at rabanda@usaid.gov.
