Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "Strengthen in country Strategic information Capacity for Sustainable HIV Response" is a USAID-funded request for applications focused on improving Vietnam's ability to generate, manage, analyze, and use strategic information to support a long-term, sustainable response to HIV. In practical terms, the opportunity is aimed at strengthening the systems and institutional capacity that sit behind an effective HIV program, such as surveillance, monitoring and evaluation, data quality processes, reporting systems, and the ability of national and sub-national stakeholders to turn data into decisions. The funding is structured as a cooperative agreement, which typically means USAID expects substantial involvement during implementation, including collaboration on work planning, technical approaches, and performance monitoring.
The opportunity is identified by Funding Opportunity Number USAID VIETNAM SOL 440 14 000002 RFA and was posted on June 6, 2014, with an original closing date of July 25, 2014, later extended to August 15, 2014. It was ultimately archived on November 21, 2014. The award’s estimated total funding is $1,500,000, and the award ceiling is also $1,500,000, indicating USAID anticipated a single award up to that amount, although the listing does not explicitly confirm the number of awards. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, which reduces the financial barrier for organizations that might not be able to contribute their own funds.
From an eligibility standpoint, the listing states that applicants are “unrestricted,†meaning the competition is broadly open to many types of entities, but it also notes that final eligibility rules and any limitations are detailed in Section III of the full RFA package. In many USAID RFAs, this section can include specifics on whether local organizations are encouraged or prioritized, whether foreign or U.S.-based organizations must meet certain registration requirements, and what documentation is required to demonstrate eligibility and responsibility.
In terms of thematic classification, the activity falls under the “Health†explanation field, and it is associated with CFDA number 98.001 (USAID Foreign Assistance for Programs Overseas). While labeled under “Other†for the funding activity category, the CategoryExplanation clarifies the health focus, consistent with the HIV strategic information objective. The administering agency information in the listing is shown as “Thailand USAID Bangkok,†which reflects USAID’s regional procurement and management arrangement for some Vietnam-related solicitations at the time, even though the program focus is Vietnam.
For organizations interested in the historical record or needing help accessing the full announcement materials, the point of contact listed is Praveena ViraSingh, Procurement Specialist, reachable by phone at 6622573003 or by email at pvirasingh@usaid.gov.
