Opportunity Summary:
The Population Health Environment Technical Leadership Cooperative Agreement is a USAID discretionary funding opportunity designed to support technical leadership activities at the intersection of public health and environmental outcomes, commonly referred to as "population, health, and environment" (PHE). The opportunity is offered by the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) under Funding Opportunity Number USAID M OAA GH 08 1112 and is categorized within the Health funding activity area. The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which typically means USAID anticipates substantial involvement in the implementation process, such as close coordination on work planning, technical direction, and monitoring of results, rather than simply issuing funds with minimal oversight.
The notice indicates that the full program details and requirements are contained in "Amendment Number 01," which is referenced as an attachment. In the absence of that attachment text, the publicly listed details show a maximum potential award (award ceiling) of $7,500,000, with no stated minimum award amount (award floor listed as $0). This suggests proposals could vary widely in scale, depending on what USAID was willing to support and how applicants structured their technical approach and budgets. Cost sharing or matching is required, meaning applicants must contribute non-federal resources (cash and/or allowable in-kind contributions) toward the project. The exact percentage, valuation rules, and documentation standards would normally be specified in the attachment and in standard USAID assistance regulations and the specific terms of the notice.
Eligibility is described as "unrestricted," which means the competition is open to any type of entity (for example, non-profit organizations, universities, private sector organizations, and potentially other institutions), subject to any additional limitations or clarifications that would appear in the full announcement text. The opportunity was posted on May 21, 2008, with a creation date of June 6, 2008, and it had an original and current closing date of June 24, 2008. That timeline indicates a relatively short application window, which is common for some USAID solicitations, especially when the Agency is building on existing technical platforms or when applicants are expected to have prior experience in the relevant technical area.
In practical terms, a "technical leadership" cooperative agreement in the PHE space often focuses less on direct service delivery and more on functions like developing and disseminating best practices, building capacity of implementing partners and government stakeholders, providing technical assistance, creating training curricula and tools, strengthening monitoring and evaluation approaches, and helping integrate strategies across sectors such as family planning and reproductive health, maternal and child health, natural resource management, biodiversity conservation, and climate or environmental resilience. PHE initiatives generally aim to address linked challenges, such as how population dynamics and health access can influence environmental pressure and livelihoods, and how environmental conditions can in turn shape health outcomes. The award title implies USAID was seeking an organization (or consortium) that could provide high-level technical guidance and coordination to help field programs implement integrated approaches effectively and generate evidence and learning that could be used across multiple countries or regions.
For applicants or interested parties who could not access the electronic announcement, the listed point of contact is Alisa Dunn, identified as the grantor, reachable by phone at 202-712-0908 or by email at adunn@usaid.gov. Because the public synopsis repeatedly points to the attached amendment for the full description, anyone evaluating fit, compliance requirements, or application instructions would need to obtain and review Amendment Number 01 to confirm the program objectives, expected results, performance indicators, reporting requirements, cost share specifics, submission format, and selection criteria.
