Opportunity Information: Apply for 72061520RFA00007
The Kenya Health Partnerships for Quality Services (KHPQS) - HIV and Orphans and Vulnerable Children (OVC) opportunity is a USAID/Kenya (USAID-Nairobi) funding opportunity aimed at supporting the implementation of an HIV and OVC-focused health program in Kenya. USAID is soliciting applications from qualified local organizations to carry out program activities under a Cooperative Agreement, which typically means the awardee will implement the project with substantial involvement and collaboration from USAID during planning, execution, and monitoring. The opportunity sits within the health sector funding category and is identified under CFDA number 98.001.
This is a discretionary funding opportunity released as a Request for Applications (RFA) under Funding Opportunity Number 72061520RFA00007. USAID anticipates making a single award (Expected Awards: 1), indicating the agency likely intends to fund one prime implementer to lead program delivery, coordination, and reporting. The maximum available funding for that award is listed as an award ceiling of USD 23,311,454, which signals a fairly large, multi-year implementation effort designed to address HIV-related service delivery and support for orphans and vulnerable children.
Eligibility is described broadly as "Others," with the key detail that applicants should review the NOFO section titled "Additional Information on Eligibility" for precise requirements. Even without the full NOFO text, the headline emphasis on "qualified local organization(s)" strongly suggests USAID is prioritizing locally based Kenyan entities (and/or locally registered organizations) that can demonstrate organizational capacity, compliance readiness, and technical experience delivering HIV programs and OVC services at scale. The full parameters, such as whether consortia are allowed, any restrictions on international organizations, and required registrations and certifications, would be spelled out in the attached NOFO.
The opportunity was created on August 5, 2020, with an original closing date of September 16, 2020. Applications were therefore expected within a relatively standard submission window for USAID RFAs, requiring applicants to move quickly on technical design, budgets, staffing plans, and compliance documentation. As a cooperative agreement in the health domain, applicants would typically be expected to propose a clear technical approach aligned with USAID priorities, detail how they will coordinate with Kenyan government systems and other partners, and present a strong monitoring, evaluation, and learning approach to demonstrate progress and outcomes for both HIV service delivery and OVC support components.
In short, this NOFO represents a significant USAID/Kenya investment in HIV and OVC programming under the KHPQS umbrella, with a single large cooperative agreement (up to about USD 23.3 million) intended for a capable local implementer to deliver and strengthen quality services and related support for vulnerable populations in Kenya, as defined in the full Notice of Funding Opportunity.Apply for 72061520RFA00007
