Opportunity Summary:
The USAID/Bolivia grant opportunity titled "Water Supply and Sanitation Activities" (Funding Opportunity Number RFA 511 08 010) is a discretionary funding announcement issued by USAID in La Paz to support water supply and sanitation work in Bolivia. The main purpose is to continue and expand sector activities by helping develop new water and sanitation systems, strengthening the sustainable management of those systems over time, and integrating hygiene improvement interventions alongside infrastructure investments. In other words, the opportunity is not only about building or expanding physical systems, but also about ensuring they are maintained, managed, and used in ways that deliver lasting public health benefits, with hygiene behavior change included as a core component rather than an afterthought.
Funding is provided through a cooperative agreement, which typically means USAID expects substantial involvement during implementation compared to a standard grant. The announcement anticipates making up to four awards, with an estimated total funding level of $1,000,000. Individual awards are expected to fall between $50,000 (award floor) and $300,000 (award ceiling). A cost-sharing or matching requirement applies, so applicants should plan to contribute a portion of project resources from non-USAID sources, consistent with the specific terms described in the full announcement.
Eligibility is listed as unrestricted, meaning the competition is open to any type of entity unless further limitations are described in the detailed solicitation. The opportunity is categorized under "Other" with a clarification indicating the activity area is water and sanitation. The CFDA number associated with the funding is 98.001, labeled "USAID Foreign Assistance for Programs Overseas," which is the standard assistance listing for many overseas development activities.
Key dates indicate the opportunity was posted on April 17, 2008, with an application deadline of May 14, 2008, and an archive date of June 13, 2008. For questions or access issues related to the full announcement, the listed point of contact is Jose Zenteno, Acquisition Specialist at USAID/Bolivia, reachable by phone at (591 2) 2786445 or by email at jzenteno@usaid.gov.
