Opportunity Summary:
USAID/Uganda issued a discretionary health funding opportunity (RFA 617-14-000013) called "Regional Health Integration to Enhance Services in East Central Uganda." The program is designed to support a regional approach to improving health service delivery in East Central Uganda, with activities and objectives detailed in Section I of the Request for Applications (RFA). The award mechanism is a Cooperative Agreement, which typically means USAID expects substantial involvement during implementation rather than operating at arm's length as it often would with a standard grant. The legal authority for the solicitation comes from the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961, as amended.
The planned period of performance is five years, and, depending on the availability of funds, USAID indicated an intent to provide up to $57,000,000 across that five-year span. The opportunity lists an award ceiling of $57,000,000 and an award floor of $0, signaling flexibility in the eventual award amount and the possibility that USAID could decide not to fund if applications do not meet expectations or if funding is constrained. USAID stated it anticipates making one award, although it reserved the right to make more than one award or to fund none of the applications submitted.
Eligibility is broad and the competition is described as full and open. In practical terms, this means a wide range of entities can apply, including large or small organizations, commercial (for-profit) firms, faith-based organizations, and non-profit organizations. USAID also allows applications from partnerships or consortia, which is common for large, multi-year health programs that require a mix of technical, operational, and regional coordination capacities. The listing also notes a cost-sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants should be prepared to contribute a portion of program costs or demonstrate leveraged resources, subject to the specific terms in the RFA.
Key administrative details include the activity category (Health) and CFDA number 98.001 (USAID Foreign Assistance for Programs Overseas). The opportunity was posted on August 27, 2014, with an application closing date of October 17, 2014, and an archive date of November 16, 2014. The issuing office is USAID Kampala, Uganda. For applicants who had trouble accessing the full announcement electronically, the point of contact listed was Fatumah Mutaasa (Assistance Assistant), reachable by phone at +256 414 306001 and by email at fmutaasa@uaisd.gov.
