Opportunity Summary:
The RWANDA HEALTH SYSTEMS STRENGTHENING (RHSS) ACTIVITY is a USAID/Rwanda funding opportunity issued on June 6, 2014 under Funding Opportunity Number RFA69614000001. It is a discretionary health-focused award that USAID intends to implement through a Cooperative Agreement. The activity is planned as a five-year program designed to strengthen Rwanda's health system by providing targeted support to the Ministry of Health (MOH) and other relevant institutions at both the national and district levels. The overall aim is to bolster the critical functions of the health system that are needed to achieve long-term sustainability, meaning the program is oriented toward building systems and institutional capacity rather than providing short-lived or stand-alone services.
USAID anticipates making one award under this solicitation, with an estimated total funding amount and award ceiling of USD 24,900,000 (with no stated minimum award floor). The opportunity is listed as open eligibility ("unrestricted"), meaning applications may be submitted by a wide range of entity types, subject to any additional eligibility clarifications that may appear in the full RFA text. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement indicated, which means applicants are not required to commit their own funds as a condition of eligibility or competitiveness, unless otherwise specified in the full announcement.
The solicitation emphasizes USAID's assistance policy regarding profit: profit is not paid under assistance instruments such as cooperative agreements. At the same time, the announcement makes clear that reasonable, allocable, and allowable costs necessary to carry out the program can be reimbursed, including both direct and indirect costs, as long as they comply with applicable U.S. Government cost principles and regulations. The cited standards include 22 CFR 226 and the relevant OMB Circulars for nonprofits (A-122) and universities (A-21), as well as the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Part 31 for for-profit organizations, which collectively define what types of expenses may be charged to the award and under what conditions.
Key dates and submission logistics are clearly set out. Written questions were due by June 16, 2014 at 4:00 pm local Kigali time, and applications were due by July 22, 2014 at 4:00 pm local Kigali time. The announcement notes that applications must be received by the deadline and must follow the submission and formatting instructions in the RFA, reinforcing that late or noncompliant submissions risk being rejected as nonresponsive. For questions and support accessing the full announcement, the point of contact is Eriazel Bagabo (A and A Specialist), reachable by email at ebagabo@usaid.gov and by phone at +250 252 596 400. The listing also indicates the opportunity was archived on August 21, 2014, reflecting that it is no longer open for submissions.
