Opportunity Summary:
USAID/Ethiopia issued this Request for Applications (RFA) to fund a five-year health program called "TransACTION: Prevention and Care Services for At Risk Mobile Populations." The overall purpose is to support prevention and care services for mobile groups considered at elevated risk, with the detailed goals, target results, and implementation approach laid out in the opportunity's Section C (Program Description). The award is authorized under the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961 (as amended), and the selected recipient would be responsible for delivering the program objectives and ensuring the expected results are achieved over the life of the project.
This is a discretionary funding opportunity that will be implemented through a cooperative agreement, meaning USAID expects substantial involvement during implementation compared to a standard grant. USAID anticipated making one award under this solicitation. The total estimated funding is about $40,000,000 for the full period of performance, with an expected award range between $30,000,000 (floor) and $40,000,000 (ceiling). There is no cost sharing or matching requirement stated for applicants.
Eligibility is listed as "unrestricted," indicating the competition was open to a wide range of entity types, subject to any additional eligibility clarifications contained in the full announcement. The assistance is associated with CFDA 98.001, USAID Foreign Assistance for Programs Overseas, and the activity category is Health. The opportunity was posted January 2, 2009 (created January 5, 2009), and the application closing date was February 6, 2009, with an archive date of March 8, 2009.
The announcement also includes standard federal funding cautions: publishing the RFA does not obligate the U.S. Government to make an award, does not promise reimbursement for proposal preparation costs, and any final cooperative agreement is contingent on funds being fully appropriated, allocated, and cleared through internal USAID processes. Applicants were explicitly advised that they submit at their own risk, and that if an award cannot be made due to funding or procedural issues, proposal development and submission costs remain the applicant's responsibility.
For applicants needing help accessing the full announcement, the listed point of contact was Henok Amenu, Contract Management Specialist at USAID Addis Ababa, reachable by phone at 251-011-5510088 or by email at hamenu@usaid.gov.
