Opportunity Summary:
The "Presidents Malaria Initiative (PMI) Expansion in DRC" grant opportunity is a USAID-funded health program solicitation issued by USAID East Africa, developed with input from the USAID/DRC Health Office. USAID is looking to select and fund a single organization to carry out a five-year malaria-focused program in the Democratic Republic of the Congo under the Presidents Malaria Initiative framework. The award mechanism is a Cooperative Agreement, which typically means the recipient would implement the program while USAID remains substantially involved in technical direction, oversight, and collaboration during implementation.
This opportunity was posted under Funding Opportunity Number RFA 660-12-000001 and is categorized as a discretionary funding opportunity in the health sector. It is tied to CFDA 98.001, "USAID Foreign Assistance for Programs Overseas," and is authorized under the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961, as amended. In practical terms, that authority is the legal basis USAID uses to provide overseas assistance and to structure and fund program activities.
USAID anticipated making one award, with a total funding range set by an award floor of $11,000,000 and an award ceiling of $25,000,000, depending on the final negotiated scope and the application quality. The solicitation specifies that there is no cost-sharing or matching requirement, so applicants were not required to provide a financial match as a condition of eligibility. Eligibility is described as unrestricted, meaning the competition was open to a broad range of applicant types (such as NGOs, for-profits, universities, or other entities), subject to any additional eligibility clarifications contained in the full announcement text.
Key dates show the solicitation timeline: it was posted on May 10, 2012, created in the system on May 22, 2012, and originally due on June 18, 2012, with the closing date later extended to June 25, 2012. The opportunity was archived on July 18, 2012, indicating the competition period had ended and USAID had moved beyond the open application phase.
For applicants who could not access the full announcement electronically, USAID provided a point of contact: JoAnn Sparacino, Regional Contracting Officer, reachable by phone at +254 20 862 2491. The listing associates the agency with USAID East Africa based in Kenya, which aligns with the "USAID/EA" designation and suggests regional management of the procurement and assistance process, while still focusing the program implementation on malaria expansion activities in the DRC.
