Opportunity Information: Apply for 72061521RFA00012
The USAID Kenya and East Africa Dumisha Afya Activity is a competitive U.S. government funding opportunity issued by USAID (USAID-Nairobi) to support a health-focused program implemented through a Cooperative Agreement. USAID is inviting applications specifically from qualified local organizations to carry out the Dumisha Afya Activity, with eligibility limited to local entities as defined and detailed in the Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO), particularly in Section C. The award is intended to support activities that align with USAID health priorities in Kenya and the East Africa region, and the selected implementer will be expected to work closely with USAID under the cooperative agreement model, which typically involves substantial engagement from the agency during implementation.
The opportunity is identified by Funding Opportunity Number 72061521RFA00012 and is categorized as discretionary funding under the Health activity area, with CFDA number 98.001. USAID anticipated making one award, with an award ceiling of $34,566,320, meaning the total funding could be up to that amount depending on the approved application and final agreement. Although USAID expected a single award, it explicitly reserved the right to fund one, multiple, or none of the applications submitted, depending on the quality of submissions, the results of the merit review, and a risk assessment of the prospective awardee.
Applications were required to follow the specific instructions in the NOFO, including providing all required information and meeting all stated eligibility and compliance standards. USAID emphasized that applicants should read the NOFO carefully to understand the program being sought, the submission requirements, and how applications would be evaluated. Selection would be based on the merit review criteria described in the NOFO and would also be contingent on a risk assessment, which commonly examines factors such as organizational capacity, financial management systems, prior performance, and compliance readiness.
Operationally, USAID noted that the full opportunity and any subsequent amendments were posted on Grants.gov, and applicants were responsible for checking the site regularly to ensure they were working from the most current version of the solicitation and had received the full document set. USAID also cautioned that it was not responsible for any data issues caused by downloading, transmission, or file conversion errors. For technical difficulties related to registration or document access, applicants were directed to the Grants.gov Helpdesk (phone and email provided in the notice).
A key compliance requirement highlighted in the posting is that USAID generally cannot make an award unless the applicant has completed all required registrations, including obtaining a unique entity identifier and maintaining an active registration in the System for Award Management (SAM), as detailed in Section D.6.f of the NOFO. Because these registrations can take weeks, USAID urged applicants to start early to avoid disqualification or missed deadlines due to incomplete registration.
For communication and fairness in the competitive process, USAID provided a formal question-and-answer channel through the points of contact listed in Section D of the NOFO. Questions had to be submitted by the stated deadline, and USAID planned to share responses received before that cutoff with all potential applicants through an amendment posted on Grants.gov, helping ensure that all applicants had access to the same clarifications.
Finally, the notice makes clear that publication of the NOFO does not obligate the U.S. government to make an award or to reimburse any costs incurred by applicants while preparing or submitting an application. All application preparation and submission costs are borne by the applicant, and submissions are made at the applicant's own risk. The opportunity was created on May 27, 2021, with an original closing date of June 28, 2021, indicating the main application window for this particular funding announcement.Apply for 72061521RFA00012
