Opportunity Information: Apply for RFA 674 17 000005
The Ready, Resourceful, Risk Aware (Triple R): OVC, Adolescent Girls and Young Women funding opportunity (RFA 674 17 000005) was a U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) competitive grant solicitation issued by USAID/South Africa (USAID-Pretoria) to support a large-scale public health program in Swaziland (now Eswatini). The opportunity was structured as a Cooperative Agreement, meaning the recipient would be expected to work in close partnership with USAID during implementation rather than operating with minimal federal involvement. The program was designed as a five-year effort focused on HIV prevention and on reducing vulnerability to HIV among populations considered at highest risk and highest priority: orphans and vulnerable children (OVC), adolescent girls (AG), and young women (YW). In practical terms, the grant aimed to fund an integrated set of services and interventions that both prevent new HIV infections and address the social, economic, and protection-related conditions that increase HIV vulnerability for these groups.
From a funding and scale standpoint, this was a single-award opportunity with an anticipated maximum budget (award ceiling) of up to USD 40,000,000 across the five-year period, with USAID expecting to make one award in total. The opportunity category was listed as an earmark and the activity area as health, and it was associated with CFDA number 98.001. Eligibility was broadly open (unrestricted) to any type of applicant entity, subject to any additional eligibility clarifications that would have been provided in the full solicitation text. Because only one award was expected, the solicitation signaled a preference for an applicant (or consortium) capable of operating at national scale, coordinating across multiple stakeholders, and demonstrating strong technical and operational capacity in HIV prevention programming and services for children and young women.
The timeline reflects a standard, time-bound procurement process. The solicitation was created on June 28, 2017, with questions due by July 7, 2017 at noon Pretoria time. The original closing date was August 8, 2017, with the solicitation closing on August 8, 2017 at 11:00 a.m. Pretoria time. These dates indicate the window applicants had to review the requirements, assemble a comprehensive technical approach and budget, and submit a compliant application package under USAID rules for assistance awards. Overall, Triple R represented a major USAID investment intended to reduce HIV incidence and strengthen resilience among OVC and adolescent girls and young women in Swaziland/Eswatini over a multi-year period, using a cooperative, partner-driven approach under USAID oversight.Apply for RFA 674 17 000005
