Opportunity Summary:
USAID Ethiopia issued an Annual Program Statement (APS 663 16 000004) for a health-focused program called TRANSFORM/Developing Regional States (TRANSFORM/DRS). The opportunity invites concept papers from qualified applicants in both the United States and outside the United States, with the main limitation being that organizations from foreign policy restricted countries are not eligible. The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which typically means USAID expects substantial involvement during implementation (for example, in technical direction, coordination, and monitoring) rather than a hands-off grant.
The program purpose is to support partner organization(s) working toward the public goal of ending preventable child and maternal deaths (EPCMD) in Ethiopias Developing Regional States, while also contributing to the Government of Ethiopias Health Sector Transformation Plan (HSTP). In other words, USAID is looking for implementing partners that can strengthen maternal, newborn, and child health outcomes in underserved regions and do so in a way that aligns with national health priorities and systems. The detailed goals and expected results are referenced as being in the program description section of the APS, and applicants are expected to shape their concept papers around those stated results.
The opportunity falls under the Health funding activity category and is listed under CFDA 98.001. USAID indicated an anticipated award ceiling of up to $30,000,000, with an expectation of one award, though the notice also makes clear that USAID may make one or more awards depending on funds and merit. As with many APS processes, submission starts with concept papers rather than full applications, and USAID retains discretion to fund the best-aligned submission(s) or to make no awards at all if proposals do not meet objectives or if funding is not available.
Key administrative details include an original and current closing date of April 13, 2016, and a posting/creation date of March 14, 2016. The legal authority cited is the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961, as amended. Overall, this is a competitive USAID health assistance opportunity aimed at reducing maternal and child mortality in Ethiopias developing regions by supporting capable partners whose approaches fit USAID objectives and Ethiopias national health transformation agenda.
