Opportunity Summary:

The Saath Saath Project (SSP) for USAID/Nepal is a USAID health funding opportunity focused on HIV care, treatment continuity, and prevention services in Nepal. USAID is soliciting applications to implement a program designed to improve quality of life for people living with HIV through home-based care and support, ensure access to antiretroviral (ARV) services so HIV-positive individuals can remain healthy and continue working, and provide compassionate care for people in the final stages of illness. In addition to clinical and supportive care, the program places a strong emphasis on reaching most-at-risk populations (MARPs) with prevention interventions, counseling, and HIV testing services, reflecting a combined approach that addresses both treatment needs and ongoing transmission risks.

This opportunity was issued as a discretionary award under a Cooperative Agreement, meaning USAID expects substantial involvement during implementation rather than a purely hands-off grant relationship. The funding activity category is Health, and USAID anticipates making one award under this announcement. The total estimated funding is $27,500,000, and notably the award ceiling and award floor are both listed as $27,500,000, which signals that USAID intended a single award at that fixed amount for the full project as competed under this solicitation.

Eligibility is broadly open (unrestricted) to U.S. or non-U.S. organizations, including nonprofit and for-profit nongovernmental organizations, as well as public international organizations/international organizations and other qualified non-U.S. Government entities, subject to any further eligibility clarifications contained in the full announcement. Cost sharing or matching is required, so applicants would be expected to contribute a portion of resources (cash and/or in-kind, as defined by USAID policy and the specific solicitation terms) alongside USAID funding.

The official opportunity details include Funding Opportunity Number RFA 367 11 000002 and CFDA 98.001 (USAID Foreign Assistance for Programs Overseas). The announcement was posted on March 24, 2011 (created March 23, 2011) with an application closing date of May 10, 2011, and it was archived on June 9, 2011. The issuing agency is USAID/Nepal (Kathmandu). For access issues related to the full announcement, the listed point of contact is Pradeep Neupane, Contracts Specialist, by phone at 97714007200.
