Opportunity Information: Apply for 72067423RFA00012
USAID-Pretoria released a funding opportunity called "Children, Adolescents, and Families in the HIV Epidemic in North West Province" (Funding Opportunity Number 72067423RFA00012) to support HIV-focused health programming in South Africa's North West Province. The award is planned as a cooperative agreement, meaning USAID expects to remain actively involved in the activity's implementation through substantial engagement and collaboration with the recipient. Subject to funding availability and USAID discretion, the Agency anticipates providing up to USD 20 million total over a five-year period, with an expectation of making one award.
The activity is specifically designed to be implemented in the North West Province and is framed around addressing the HIV epidemic as it affects children, adolescents, and families. While the notice summary does not spell out a full technical scope, the title and framing indicate the program will focus on interventions and services that reduce HIV risk and impact for younger populations and their household systems, aligning with health-sector priorities. As a USAID health activity (CFDA 98.001), applicants should expect standard USAID requirements around results, reporting, monitoring and evaluation, and compliance with U.S. Government assistance rules.
Eligibility is strictly limited to local entities in South Africa. For this opportunity, a "local entity" is defined as an individual, corporation, nonprofit organization, or other body of persons that is legally organized under South African law, has its principal place of business or operations in South Africa, is majority owned by South African citizens or lawful permanent residents, and is governed by a body where the majority are citizens or lawful permanent residents of South Africa. The definition of "majority owned" and "managed by" is broad and includes both direct and indirect control, including the power to influence the election, appointment, or tenure of managers or a majority of the governing body by any means.
USAID explicitly encourages applications from potential new local partners, including organizations that have not previously received USAID financial assistance. At the same time, international or U.S.-based organizations are not eligible to apply as the prime applicant under this request, although the notice does not address whether they could participate in other roles (for example, as subrecipients or technical partners), which would typically be clarified in the full NOFO.
On capacity and compliance, applicants are expected to already have solid operational systems in place. USAID notes that applicants must have established financial management systems, monitoring and evaluation processes, internal controls, and written policies and procedures that meet U.S. Government standards, laws, and regulations. The apparent intent is to fund an organization that can manage a multi-year, multi-million-dollar award with strong accountability, data quality, and governance. USAID also signals that the Agreement Officer may require a pre-award survey (a responsibility determination assessment) to verify that the applicant has the organization, experience, accounting systems, operational controls, and technical skills needed to deliver the program and comply with the award's terms and conditions, or at least a credible ability to obtain those capacities.
Administratively, the opportunity was posted by USAID South Africa (Pretoria), categorized as "Other" for the opportunity category and "Health" for the activity category. The original closing date listed is 2023-06-20, and the opportunity was created on 2023-05-03. The stated award ceiling is USD 20,000,000, and the anticipated number of awards is one, indicating a single prime implementer will likely be responsible for overall leadership, coordination, and results delivery in the province.Apply for 72067423RFA00012
