Opportunity Summary:
This opportunity was issued by USAID/Nigeria (USAID Abuja) as a request for public input on a draft Program Description (PD) related to a proposed malaria project in Nigeria. Rather than being the final solicitation for an award, it functioned as an "invitation for comments" meant to gather feedback and suggestions from interested organizations and stakeholders before USAID finalized the program design and moved forward with a full funding announcement. The activity area is health, specifically malaria programming, and the intent was to inform how a large, multi-year cooperative agreement would be structured and implemented.
The planned award mechanism was a Cooperative Agreement, which typically means USAID anticipated substantial involvement during implementation (for example, closer collaboration on work planning, technical approaches, monitoring, and coordination) compared with a standard grant. The project was proposed as a five-year effort, with an estimated total funding level of up to $110,000,000. The funding ceiling was listed at $110,000,000, with no minimum floor stated, and USAID expected to make one award. No cost sharing or matching requirement was indicated, suggesting applicants would not be required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of award, though any later full solicitation could still include detailed budget and leverage expectations.
Eligibility was described as unrestricted, meaning it was open to any type of entity, subject to any clarifications that might have been included in the full text under an "Additional Information on Eligibility" section. The listing included CFDA 98.001 (USAID Foreign Assistance for Programs Overseas), which is the standard assistance listing for many USAID-funded overseas programs. The opportunity was categorized as discretionary funding, consistent with competitive assistance awards and related pre-solicitation notices.
Key dates show the notice was posted and created on August 26, 2009, with comments due by September 28, 2009. The archive date was October 28, 2009, indicating when it was expected to be removed from active listing after the comment period. Because the posted item was specifically an invitation to comment on the draft PD, the main expected action for interested parties at that stage would have been to review the draft program description and submit substantive feedback, such as technical recommendations, implementation considerations, risk and feasibility issues, proposed partnership or coordination approaches, monitoring and evaluation ideas, and any practical suggestions to improve how the five-year malaria cooperative agreement might be designed.
For access issues related to the full announcement materials, USAID provided a point of contact: Ugo Oguejiofor, Acquisition Specialist, reachable by phone at 202-216-6242.
