Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "Support for Orphans and Vulnerable Children in Nairobi and Coast Counties of Kenya" is a USAID Kenya (Nairobi) discretionary funding opportunity designed to support health-related programming for orphans and vulnerable children (OVC) in two priority geographic areas: Nairobi County and the Coast region of Kenya. The funding is offered under a Cooperative Agreement, which usually means the recipient would implement the program while USAID remains substantially involved during implementation through collaboration, technical input, and ongoing oversight rather than operating as a purely hands-off funder.
This opportunity was released under Funding Opportunity Number RFA 615 14 000006 and is associated with CFDA Number 98.001, "USAID Foreign Assistance for Programs Overseas." The total estimated amount available is listed as $42,000,000, and the award ceiling is also $42,000,000, indicating that USAID anticipated either a single award up to that amount or an overall cap at that level depending on the structure laid out in the full Request for Applications (RFA). The activity category is identified as Health, reflecting that the program sits within broader public health and social protection priorities, including services that typically aim to improve child wellbeing, reduce vulnerability, and address the impacts of HIV and other drivers of risk (the detailed scope, target groups, and expected results would be defined in the attached RFA document referenced in the notice).
Cost sharing or matching is required, meaning applicants were expected to contribute a portion of project resources from non-USAID sources (cash and/or in-kind, depending on the RFA terms). The opportunity is marked as "Unrestricted" for eligible applicants, which generally indicates it was open to a wide range of entity types (such as local and international non-profits, NGOs, faith-based organizations, universities, and potentially for-profit entities if permitted), subject to any additional eligibility conditions that would have been specified in the RFA text.
Key dates show the posting date as November 24, 2014, with a creation date of January 5, 2015. The original and current closing dates are both January 12, 2015, suggesting no extension was reflected in the public listing. The archive date is February 11, 2015, meaning the application window had closed and the public posting was later archived.
For applicants who could not access the full announcement electronically, the listed contact was Nancy Amayo, Acquisition and Assistance Specialist at USAID Kenya (Nairobi), with the provided phone number 254 20 8622203. The public synopsis repeatedly notes that full details are contained in the attached RFA, so elements like program objectives, performance indicators, required partners, compliance expectations, and submission instructions would have been governed by that document rather than the brief posting summary.
