Opportunity Information: Apply for 72066023RFA00007
The DRC Rural and Peri Urban Market Based Sanitation (MBS) Activity is a USAID funding opportunity managed by USAID-Kinshasa (Agency for International Development, Democratic Republic of the Congo) focused on improving sanitation outcomes in rural and peri-urban areas of the DRC through a market-based approach. The award will be issued as a cooperative agreement, which generally means USAID expects substantial involvement during implementation, such as collaboration on technical direction, oversight, and coordination as the activity progresses. The funding sits within the Health activity category and is listed under CFDA 98.001.
USAID anticipates making two Transition Awards of up to USD 25 million each, for a combined potential total of up to USD 50 million over a five-year period. While the overall opportunity shows an award ceiling of USD 50,000,000, the notice indicates USAID plans to support two major awards rather than one single award, depending on the results of the competitive process and any required risk assessment. The selection is expected to be made based on the merit review criteria laid out in the Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO), with USAID retaining discretion to apply a risk assessment before finalizing awards.
Eligibility is unrestricted, meaning a wide range of qualified entities may apply (for example, NGOs, private firms, universities, and other organizations), subject to any additional eligibility clarifications contained in the NOFO itself, particularly in Section C. Applicants are expected to carefully follow the NOFO instructions, submit all required information, and meet all stated standards; incomplete or noncompliant submissions may be deemed ineligible or uncompetitive.
Administrative and compliance requirements are emphasized. Applicants must monitor the opportunity on Grants.gov because the NOFO may be amended, and applicants are responsible for ensuring they are working from the most current and complete version. USAID also notes it is not responsible for transmission or conversion errors when downloading or viewing the NOFO materials. For technical issues related to Grants.gov registration or access, applicants are directed to the Grants.gov Helpdesk (1-800-518-4726 or support@grants.gov).
The notice also highlights standard U.S. government registration requirements that can affect eligibility to receive an award. Applicants may not be awarded funding unless they have the required unique entity identifier and an active, compliant registration in the System for Award Management (SAM), as described in the NOFO (referenced as Section D.6.f). Because SAM and related registrations can take weeks, applicants are urged to start those steps early to avoid missing deadlines.
Key posting details include the funding opportunity number 72066023RFA00007, creation date of September 27, 2023, and an original closing date of November 30, 2023. The opportunity is categorized on Grants.gov under "Other" for opportunity category, uses the cooperative agreement instrument type, and is presented as a competitive solicitation where USAID plans to fund the applicant or applicants that best meet the program objectives and evaluation criteria described in the NOFO.Apply for 72066023RFA00007
