Opportunity Summary:
USAID/Madagascar released a funding opportunity titled "Water and Sanitation" (Funding Opportunity Number: USAID MADAGASCAR 10 001 APS) to support the Water II program in Madagascar. The aim of the program is to expand sustainable access to improved drinking water supplies and improved sanitation facilities, specifically targeting poor and vulnerable populations. The activity falls under the community development category and is structured as a Cooperative Agreement, meaning the awardee would typically work in close collaboration with USAID during implementation rather than operating with complete independence.
The opportunity anticipated making up to two awards, contingent on the availability of funds. The planned program period was approximately three years, with the end date not to go beyond September 30, 2013. The estimated total funding for the opportunity was $10,000,000, and the listed award ceiling and award floor were both $10,000,000, indicating an expected award size around that amount for the program as described. Cost sharing or matching was required, so applicants needed to contribute a portion of resources (cash and/or in-kind, depending on the terms) alongside USAID funding.
Eligibility was focused on US-based nonprofit Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) and Private Voluntary Organizations (PVOs), but with an important condition: applicants were expected to apply in partnership with registered local Malagasy organizations. In practice, this implies USAID wanted strong local participation and institutional anchoring in Madagascar, likely to improve sustainability, community buy-in, and long-term operations and maintenance of water and sanitation services after the project ends.
The application process was organized into two submission rounds. The announcement was posted on January 14, 2010, and the original and current closing date was July 14, 2010, with two round deadlines: Round 1 closed on April 14, 2010, and Round 2 closed on July 14, 2010. Submissions were due by 4:00 p.m. Antananarivo time. The opportunity was later archived on August 31, 2010. For applicants who could not access the full announcement electronically, the point of contact provided was Jackie Ramanitrera, Senior Acquisition Specialist at USAID/Madagascar (phone: 202 216 6206).
