Opportunity Summary:
The Orphans and Vulnerable Children (OVC) Program is a USAID funding opportunity focused on improving the wellbeing of orphans and other vulnerable children in Ethiopia, particularly those affected by HIV/AIDS. The program is designed to strengthen and better coordinate the systems and structures of the Government of Ethiopia and civil society so that support for OVC and their families is sustainable, comprehensive, and delivered in a more organized way. Rather than being limited to short-term services, the opportunity emphasizes building lasting capacity and coordination across institutions that serve children and families impacted by HIV/AIDS.
USAID is offering this opportunity through a Request for Applications (RFA) under the authority of the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961, as amended. The anticipated award mechanism is a Cooperative Agreement, which typically means the recipient would implement the program with substantial involvement from USAID during implementation, including ongoing collaboration on technical direction, performance monitoring, and coordination. USAID expects to make one award under this RFA, but it also explicitly reserves the right to fund any or none of the applications submitted, depending on application quality and the availability of funds.
The funding level is very large and intended to support a multi-year national effort. Over a five-year period, USAID intends to provide approximately USD 92,106,320, with the award ceiling and floor both set at USD 92,106,320, indicating the agency anticipated a single award at that level. The listing also references an estimated total funding figure of USD 96,106,320, which may reflect broader planning estimates or related costs; however, the stated planned amount to be provided under the cooperative agreement is about USD 92.1 million across five years. The program falls under the Health funding activity category and is associated with CFDA number 98.001 (USAID Foreign Assistance for Programs Overseas). A cost-sharing or matching requirement applies, meaning applicants should expect to contribute resources in addition to USAID funds as part of the overall program budget, consistent with the specifics described in the full announcement.
Eligibility is broad and described as unrestricted, meaning both U.S. and non-U.S. qualified organizations may apply, subject to any further clarifications in the official RFA text. This makes the competition open to a wide range of potential applicants such as international and local NGOs, for-profit entities where allowable, universities, and other qualified organizations, assuming they meet USAID requirements and any conditions described in the application instructions.
Key administrative details include the funding opportunity number (USAID ETHIOPIA 663 10 000001 RFA) and that the opportunity was posted on August 26, 2010, with an original and current closing date of October 15, 2010, and an archive date of October 16, 2010. The announcement and any amendments were made available through Grants.gov by browsing USAID opportunities and locating the specific RFA. For applicants who had trouble accessing the materials electronically, the point of contact listed was Tesfaye Wolde, Acquisition and Assistance Specialist, reachable by phone at 202-216-6203 extension 455 and via a USAID email address.
