Opportunity Information: Apply for 72066322RFI000011
USAID Ethiopia (Addis Ababa), through its Health Office, released a Request for Information (RFI) titled "Lowland Health" (Funding Opportunity Number 72066322RFI000011). The purpose is to gather input that will help USAID refine and strengthen the draft Program Description for a planned Lowlands Health Activity. In practical terms, USAID is using this RFI as a listening exercise to shape how the future activity might be designed, implemented, and partnered, especially in lowland areas where health needs and operating conditions can be distinct from other regions.
The RFI has three main goals. First, USAID is asking for comments and recommendations on its draft Program Description, meaning respondents can suggest improvements to objectives, scope, implementation approaches, geographic focus, or other design elements. Second, USAID wants to gauge the interest and capacity of local and locally registered organizations to submit proposals if a formal solicitation is later issued; this includes understanding what local actors can realistically manage, what experience they bring, and what types of support or partnership structures might enable strong performance. Third, USAID is specifically looking to explore innovative ways to partner with local actors, including the private sector, signaling an interest in approaches beyond traditional donor implementer models, such as service delivery partnerships, market based solutions, blended roles for NGOs and businesses, or other locally led models.
A key point is that this notice is not a funding opportunity and not a solicitation. USAID explicitly states this is not a Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO), Request for Applications (RFA), or Request for Proposals (RFP). Under FAR 15.201(e), anything submitted in response is not considered an offer and cannot be accepted by the U.S. Government to create a binding contract or agreement. USAID is not requesting technical proposals or cost proposals at this stage, and it asks organizations not to submit full proposals because they will not be reviewed and will be discarded. The agency also makes clear that the RFI does not commit USAID to issue any future solicitation, make an award, provide funding, or reimburse any costs incurred in preparing an RFI response.
From the source details provided, the opportunity is categorized as discretionary, with the funding instrument type listed as "Other" and the activity category as Health (CFDA 98.001). Eligibility is described as unrestricted, which generally indicates no narrow eligibility limitation is being imposed at the RFI stage, though any later solicitation could set more specific eligibility requirements. No award ceiling is provided (listed as 0), and expected awards are not specified, which aligns with the fact that an RFI is market research and program design support rather than a competitive funding announcement. The RFI was created on 2022-09-21 and had an original closing date of 2022-10-24.
Finally, USAID notes that it will not provide answers to questions or comments submitted in response to this request. Taken together, the overall takeaway is that USAID is collecting feedback to improve its planned Lowlands Health Activity design, testing the readiness of local and locally registered organizations to play leading implementation roles, and looking for fresh partnership ideas, but it is not yet inviting applications, budgets, or proposals and is not offering funding through this announcement.Apply for 72066322RFI000011
