Opportunity Summary:
This opportunity is a USAID/Kosovo request for concept papers focused on building public-private alliances that improve child and maternal health outcomes in Kosovo. It is framed as a special call within the health sector, aiming to identify qualified organizations and institutions that are willing to partner with USAID and devote their own resources toward shared health goals. The emphasis on alliances signals that USAID is looking for collaborations that bring together public institutions and private or non-governmental partners, combining complementary strengths such as technical expertise, service delivery capacity, community reach, innovation, or access to products and systems that can strengthen health services for women and children.
The funding instrument is a discretionary grant under the Global Development Alliance umbrella (CFDA 98.011), which typically highlights partnership-driven development approaches. While the listing indicates there is no formal cost-sharing or matching requirement, the description clearly stresses partnering with institutions that will commit resources, which implies that competitive concept papers would likely demonstrate meaningful contributions beyond the USAID award itself. In practice, that can include in-kind support, staff time, training capacity, access to facilities, donated goods or services, data systems, outreach networks, or other tangible inputs that strengthen the overall alliance and increase sustainability after USAID funding ends.
The maximum award amount (award ceiling) is listed as $3,000,000, and the award floor is $0, meaning proposals could potentially range from smaller pilot efforts to larger multi-partner initiatives, depending on what USAID ultimately selects and negotiates. Eligibility is described as unrestricted, open to any type of entity, as long as it fits any additional eligibility details contained in the full announcement. That typically means a wide range of applicants could be considered, such as local and international NGOs, private companies, professional associations, universities, faith-based organizations, and other institutions capable of implementing health-related programs and managing grant funds.
The timing is structured around concept paper submissions with two key dates for consideration: June 30, 2008 and September 30, 2008. Concept papers submitted by either of those dates may be reviewed, but the notice also cautions that funds may be committed in the first round. In other words, earlier submissions could have an advantage because available funding could be partially or fully allocated after the June review cycle, potentially leaving less funding available later.
This announcement is labeled as a modification and was originally posted on April 3, 2008, with creation dated June 30, 2008, and an archive date of October 30, 2008. The administering agency is the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), specifically USAID/Kosovo. Anyone unable to access the full announcement electronically is directed to contact Angela Fortune, Agreement Officer, at (202) 712-5545, listed as the contract specialist point of contact. The full details, including what USAID expects in a concept paper, priority focus areas within maternal and child health, partnership expectations, and any selection criteria, are referenced as being available through the “Call for Public Private Alliances Related to Child and Maternal Health in Kosovo” link in the announcement.
