Opportunity Summary:
The Strengthening Local Government Response to Vulnerable Children (SLGRVC) opportunity is a USAID/Uganda (USAID Kampala) funding announcement aimed at improving how Uganda responds to the needs of orphans and other vulnerable children (OVC) by strengthening leadership and delivery at the district level. The program focus is on building the capacity of district local governments and civil society organizations so they can take the lead in planning, managing, and implementing a decentralized, comprehensive, and quality OVC response. In practical terms, the intent is to move beyond short-term service delivery by developing stronger local systems, coordination, and management so districts and local partners can sustain and scale effective support for vulnerable children.
This opportunity was issued as a discretionary grant under a Cooperative Agreement, meaning the awardee would typically work in close collaboration with USAID during implementation, with substantial engagement from the Agency in areas like planning, monitoring, and technical direction. The funding activity category is Health, reflecting the broad welfare and protection needs of OVC populations and the common linkage between vulnerability, health outcomes, and access to essential services. USAID anticipated making one award, with an estimated total funding amount of up to $20,000,000 and an award ceiling of $20,000,000. The award floor was listed as $0, indicating no minimum award size was guaranteed, but the stated total and ceiling suggest a single, large program.
The competition was described as full and open, and eligibility was open to local and international organizations and institutions, with the specific eligible applicant types referenced in the announcement (noted as "Others" with additional eligibility details in the full text). A cost-sharing or matching requirement applied, meaning applicants were expected to contribute a portion of program resources in line with the detailed terms of the solicitation. The opportunity was posted on February 3, 2010, and applications were due by March 4, 2010, with the announcement later archived on April 3, 2010.
For applicants or interested parties who had trouble accessing the announcement, USAID provided a point of contact: Godfrey Kyagaba, Acquisition Assistance Specialist, reachable by phone at 256-414-306001 or by email at gkyagaba@usaid.gov. The funding opportunity number associated with this solicitation was RFA 617 10 000004, and it was listed under CFDA 98.001 (USAID Foreign Assistance for Programs Overseas).
