Opportunity Information: Apply for RFA 72069519RFA00002
USAID/Burundi released the WIYIZIRE (Come here, we will support you) Health Activity as a discretionary grant opportunity focused on improving health outcomes for orphans and vulnerable children (OVC) in Burundi. The program is framed as an OVC Health activity and is intended to support services and results for vulnerable children and their households, with the full technical scope and expected approach described in Section A of the Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO). While the excerpt does not list the specific interventions, the overall purpose is clear: applicants are expected to design and implement an OVC health program that advances USAID health objectives in Burundi and delivers measurable results for vulnerable populations.
The award mechanism is a Fixed Amount Award (FAA), meaning the grant is structured around agreed-upon outputs and outcomes rather than reimbursing actual costs incurred. In practical terms, this shifts the emphasis toward performance management and verification of results. Payments are tied to completion of milestones or deliverables, and accountability is primarily assessed through whether the recipient achieves the defined results, not whether they spent funds in a particular way. Applicants therefore need to propose a clear results framework, realistic milestones, and strong monitoring and documentation practices to demonstrate achievement.
Eligibility is restricted to local entities, and applicants must meet the specific eligibility requirements laid out in Section C of the NOFO. USAID indicates it plans to fund the applicant or applicants that best meet the opportunity objectives based on the merit review criteria described in Section E.2, and the final decision is also subject to a risk assessment under USAID policy (ADS 303). That combination means selection will weigh both technical merit (how strong and responsive the proposed program is) and organizational responsibility (capacity, controls, and risk profile).
From an application and compliance standpoint, submissions are handled through Grants.gov, and applicants are expected to monitor the posting for amendments and ensure they are working from the most current version of the NOFO. USAID highlights standard federal registration requirements, including obtaining a unique entity identifier and maintaining an active registration in the System for Award Management (SAM). Because those registrations can take weeks, prospective applicants are urged to start early. USAID also notes that it is not responsible for transmission or conversion errors, and directs applicants to the Grants.gov Helpdesk for technical issues.
Key administrative details included in the posting are: the opportunity title WIYIZIRE (Come here, we will support you) Health Activity; funding opportunity number RFA 72069519RFA00002; agency USAID/Burundi (USAID-Bujumbura); assistance listing/CFDA number 98.001; grant type instrument; health as the funding activity category; and an award ceiling of up to USD 3,000,000. USAID anticipated making up to three awards under this solicitation. The opportunity was created July 25, 2019, with an original closing date of September 10, 2019.
Finally, the notice underscores two standard government cautions: publishing the NOFO does not guarantee an award will be made, and the U.S. Government will not reimburse any costs related to preparing or submitting an application. All proposal development expenses are borne by the applicant, and applications are submitted at the applicant's own risk.Apply for RFA 72069519RFA00002
