Opportunity Summary:
The RFA titled "Zimbabwe Orphans and Other Vulnerable Children (OVC) Project" is a USAID/Zimbabwe discretionary funding opportunity to award a single, five-year bilateral cooperative agreement focused on improving outcomes for orphans and other vulnerable children affected by HIV and AIDS in Zimbabwe. The central purpose is to mitigate the impact of HIV and AIDS on children by making care and support services for OVC more sustainable over time, rather than dependent on short-term external support. The opportunity is positioned within the health funding activity category and is administered under USAID foreign assistance programming.
The project goal is intended to be achieved through three main capacity-strengthening pathways. First, it seeks to strengthen communities and local service providers so they can more effectively identify, reach, and support vulnerable families and children, including improving coordination and the practical delivery of services at community level. Second, it aims to strengthen vulnerable households themselves, increasing their ability to care for children and maintain stable, protective family environments, which typically involves improving household resilience and caregiving capacity so children can remain in safe, supportive settings. Third, it emphasizes strengthening the public sector social service system, reflecting an intent to improve government-linked structures and systems that support vulnerable families and children, which is a key element of long-term sustainability and national ownership.
Eligibility is broadly open to international, regional, and local Zimbabwean nongovernmental organizations, as well as consortia made up of any combination of those entities, with the listing indicating an unrestricted applicant pool subject to any additional eligibility details contained in the full announcement. The award uses a cooperative agreement instrument, which generally signals that USAID expects substantial involvement during implementation, such as collaboration on technical direction, monitoring, or coordination, compared with a more hands-off grant structure. There is no cost-share or matching requirement stated for applicants.
The funding level for this opportunity is set at an estimated total of $20,500,000, and the award floor and ceiling are both $20,500,000, indicating USAID anticipated one award at that exact amount. The expected number of awards is one, reinforcing that this is intended to fund a single implementer (or a single lead applicant managing a consortium) to run the national-level project over the five-year period.
Key administrative details include Funding Opportunity Number SOL-613-12-000003 and CFDA number 98.001 (USAID Foreign Assistance for Programs Overseas). The opportunity was posted on May 17, 2012, with an original and current closing date of July 17, 2012, and an archive date of August 16, 2012. The agency listing references USAID Pretoria (South Africa USAID Pretoria) in connection with USAID/Zimbabwe, which is consistent with regional procurement and support functions. For access issues related to the full announcement, the contact provided is Fatima dos Santos, Acquisition Assistant Specialist, at fdossantos@usaid.gov.
