Opportunity Summary:
The Support to Vulnerable Households (SVH) for Accelerated Revenue Earnings opportunity is a USAID/Nigeria grant competition aimed at helping extremely poor rural families become more economically stable and better able to benefit from local growth. The project is designed around an estimated target group of about 42,000 very poor households, with the central goal of increasing their participation in rural economic activity while also improving core well-being outcomes like livelihoods, nutrition, and health. In practical terms, the opportunity signals an integrated approach that treats income generation and household resilience as closely linked to food security and basic health outcomes, rather than focusing on agriculture or economic growth in isolation.
This funding opportunity was issued as a discretionary award under the Agriculture funding activity category, and the intended funding instrument is a Cooperative Agreement. That structure usually indicates that the funder expects substantial ongoing involvement during implementation, such as collaboration on work planning, monitoring, and key technical decisions, rather than a fully hands-off grant. USAID Abuja (Nigeria) is the issuing agency, and the opportunity is open to a wide range of applicant types since eligibility is listed as unrestricted, with the caveat that any additional eligibility details would be contained in the full announcement text.
The opportunity was planned as a single, large award, with an expected number of awards listed as 1. Total estimated funding is $20,000,000, and both the award ceiling and floor are also $20,000,000, meaning the agency anticipated one award at that exact amount rather than a range of possible budgets. The announcement also specifies a cost sharing or matching requirement, so the selected implementer would be expected to contribute resources or secure matching support as defined in the full solicitation.
Key dates show the posting timeline and the application window. The opportunity was posted on December 12, 2012, created on January 3, 2013, originally set to close on January 14, 2013, and later extended to a current closing date of February 11, 2013. The archive date is March 13, 2013, indicating when the listing was expected to be moved out of active status after the competition period.
