Opportunity Summary:
The Water and Sanitation Program grant opportunity is a USAID Senegal (USAID Dakar) solicitation for a five-year cooperative agreement focused on improving water and sanitation outcomes in Senegal. It was issued as a discretionary funding opportunity in the Environment activity category, indicating it is a competitively awarded assistance mechanism rather than an entitlement or formula-based program. The award instrument is a cooperative agreement, which generally means USAID expects to have substantial involvement during implementation compared with a standard grant, such as participating in technical direction, reviewing work plans, and collaborating on monitoring and evaluation.
USAID anticipated making one award under this opportunity, with an estimated total funding amount of $21,000,000. The funding range suggested by the notice places the award floor at $15,000,000 and the award ceiling at $21,000,000, signaling that proposals were expected to be sizeable, multi-year programs capable of operating at national or significant regional scale. The opportunity also required cost sharing or matching, so applicants were expected to contribute non-federal resources (cash and/or allowable in-kind contributions) as part of the total program budget, subject to the specific requirements laid out in the full announcement.
Eligibility was listed as unrestricted, meaning USAID opened competition broadly to any type of entity (such as nonprofits, NGOs, universities, private firms, or other organizations), as long as they met the requirements and any clarifications included in the full solicitation. The assistance listing reference was CFDA 98.001 (USAID Foreign Assistance for Programs Overseas), which is the umbrella authority used for many USAID overseas development assistance activities.
Key dates show the announcement was posted on January 30, 2009, with an original and current closing date of March 20, 2009. The record indicates it was later archived on May 30, 2009, meaning the application window is long closed and the notice is retained for historical reference. The funding opportunity number is 685-09-A-010, and the official title is Water and Sanitation Program, which applicants would have used to identify the solicitation in correspondence and submissions.
For organizations that, at the time, had trouble accessing the full announcement electronically, the posted contact was Bernadette Daluz, Acquisition and Assistance Specialist at USAID/Senegal, reachable by phone at +221 33 869 6100. The full details, including program objectives, geographic focus, expected results, required application components, evaluation criteria, and cost share specifications, were referenced as being available in the linked document titled "UDOCS ECONOMIC GROWTH WATER AND SANITATION PROGRAM RFA 685 09 A 010.doc."
