Opportunity Information: Apply for 72061520RFA00005
This funding opportunity, titled "HIV, FP/RMNACH, Nutrition, WASH, DREAMS and OVC," is a USAID Kenya (USAID-Nairobi) request for applications focused on strengthening health and social services in Kenya through an integrated package of interventions. The program is part of the Kenya Health Partnerships for Quality Services (KHPQS) platform, and it is designed to be implemented by qualified local organizations. The intent is to support coordinated service delivery across several priority areas that commonly overlap in the same communities and households: HIV services, family planning and reproductive, maternal, newborn, child and adolescent health (FP/RMNACH), nutrition, water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH), the DREAMS initiative, and services for orphans and vulnerable children (OVC). By bundling these areas under one cooperative agreement mechanism, USAID is signaling a preference for comprehensive, linked approaches that improve quality of care, strengthen referral networks, and ensure vulnerable populations are not left navigating fragmented systems.
The opportunity is issued as a discretionary award under a Cooperative Agreement, meaning USAID expects to have substantial involvement during implementation compared with a standard grant. In practical terms, this typically implies closer collaboration with USAID on technical direction, monitoring and learning, coordination with government and other partners, and adaptive management as conditions change. The funding activity category is Health, and the CFDA (assistance listing) number provided is 98.001, which is commonly associated with USAID foreign assistance programs. Eligibility is described as "Others (see text field entitled Additional Information on Eligibility for clarification)," with the key point in the synopsis being that USAID is specifically seeking applications from qualified local organizations, suggesting an emphasis on locally led implementation and local institutional capacity.
Financially, the total potential size of awards is substantial. The award ceiling listed is USD 74,000,000, and USAID anticipates making up to two awards. That structure often indicates either a geographic split, a division by technical focus, or an approach where two strong consortia implement in different regions or populations while aligning to the same overarching objectives and performance framework. The opportunity was posted on August 6, 2020, with an original closing date of September 17, 2020, which sets the formal window that applicants would have had to prepare and submit a full application package in accordance with the RFA requirements.
Programmatically, the scope spans several well-established USAID and PEPFAR-aligned priorities. HIV components generally focus on prevention, testing, linkage to treatment, retention and viral suppression, and targeted work with priority populations and geographic hotspots. FP/RMNACH typically covers access to voluntary family planning, improved antenatal and postnatal care, skilled delivery, essential newborn care, child health services, adolescent-responsive services, and broader quality improvements in routine primary care. Nutrition programming often intersects with maternal and child health, emphasizing prevention and management of malnutrition, support for optimal infant and young child feeding, and strengthening facility and community systems for nutrition screening and referral. WASH interventions usually aim to reduce disease burden and improve health outcomes through safer water, sanitation facilities, and hygiene behavior change, frequently linked to health facilities, schools, and community settings. DREAMS (Determined, Resilient, Empowered, AIDS-free, Mentored and Safe) is a multisectoral initiative focused on reducing HIV infections among adolescent girls and young women by combining biomedical, behavioral, and structural interventions, including prevention services, mentorship, education and economic strengthening, and efforts to reduce gender-based violence. OVC programming generally concentrates on ensuring children affected by HIV and other vulnerabilities receive a package of care that can include case management, psychosocial support, education support, economic strengthening for households, protection services, and strong referral pathways to clinical HIV and health services when needed.
Taken together, the opportunity reflects USAID Kenya's intent to fund partners that can deliver high-quality, integrated services at scale while coordinating across community and facility platforms. A program with this title and structure typically expects applicants to demonstrate experience in multi-sector implementation, strong partnerships with county and national government systems, clear strategies for quality improvement and data use, and the ability to reach vulnerable populations with comprehensive services rather than isolated interventions. The headline message is that USAID is investing in a large, locally implemented cooperative agreement to improve health outcomes and protect vulnerable children and adolescents by connecting HIV, reproductive and maternal-child health, nutrition, WASH, DREAMS, and OVC services into a more coherent and effective delivery model.Apply for 72061520RFA00005
