Opportunity Summary:
USAID (through its mission in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia) issued a discretionary funding opportunity titled "Strengthening Civic Education in Primary Schools" under Funding Opportunity Number 663-A-09-002. The agency is seeking one recipient to implement an education-focused program via a Cooperative Agreement, which means USAID expects to remain substantially involved during implementation compared to a standard grant. The program is authorized under the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961, as amended, and applicants are directed to the Section C Program Description for the full set of objectives, activities, and expected results, with the selected recipient responsible for ensuring those objectives are achieved.
The opportunity is designed as a multi-year effort with an estimated total USAID funding amount of about $8,930,000, with an award ceiling equal to that total and an award floor of $2,430,000. Funding is planned to be spread across a five-year period and structured in two phases: an initial Phase I of roughly one to two years, followed by a longer Phase II of about three years. Phase II is not automatic; it depends on both the availability of funds and the program's demonstrated effectiveness during the early implementation period. About one year after award signature, the recipient is required to submit a written, non-competitive continuation application to the Agreement Officer for review and approval in order to proceed into the second phase.
In terms of eligibility, the listing indicates the competition is unrestricted, meaning it is open to any type of entity unless additional limits are stated elsewhere in the full announcement. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement stated for applicants. Because this is an assistance instrument governed by USAID assistance rules, USAID policy under 22 CFR 226.81 is not to pay profit to recipients. At the same time, the agreement can reimburse reasonable, allocable, and allowable costs that are directly related to the program, including both direct and indirect expenses, as long as they comply with applicable cost principles and standards (including 22 CFR 226 and relevant OMB circulars and FAR Part 31, depending on the type of organization).
Key administrative details include an original (and current) closing date of November 13, 2008, with the opportunity posted on October 12, 2008 and archived on December 13, 2008. The CFDA number associated with the funding is 98.001 (USAID Foreign Assistance for Programs Overseas). For applicants needing help accessing the full announcement, the contact listed is Getachew Wondimagegnehu, Agreement Specialist, at +251 11 551 0088 or Gwondimagegnehu@usaid.gov.
