Opportunity Information: Apply for RFI 620 18 OVC
The USAID/Nigeria Orphans and Vulnerable Children Social Service Activities (OSSA) notice is a Request for Information (RFI) issued by USAID in Nigeria (USAID-Abuja) to collect stakeholder input on a draft Program Description before the agency decides whether to release a formal Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA). In practical terms, this announcement is part of USAID's early planning and market research process: it is asking organizations, technical experts, and other interested parties to review the draft approach and provide comments, suggestions, and insights that could improve the design of the eventual program.
The proposed OSSA activities focus on reducing the impact of HIV on orphans and vulnerable children (OVC) by addressing factors that increase vulnerability and risk. The intent is not only to support children directly affected by HIV, but also to strengthen outcomes for the households and caregivers responsible for them. The core program goal is to reduce HIV's negative effects on OVC in 22 local government areas that are prioritized under USAID's PEPFAR programming. The strategy described centers on increasing the uptake of high-impact HIV services and improving retention in those services for both OVC and their caregiving households, reflecting a focus on keeping families consistently engaged with prevention, testing, treatment, and related support services rather than relying on one-time contacts.
Although the listing includes details that resemble a future grant opportunity (for example, a cooperative agreement instrument type, a health activity category, and an award ceiling of up to $70,000,000), it is important to read these as contextual signals rather than an open competition. USAID explicitly states that this is not a FOA and that it is not accepting applications at this time. Instead, the agency is seeking feedback that can shape the final scope, priorities, and implementation approach if and when a formal solicitation is released later.
Participation in this RFI is limited to submitting written feedback. Responses were required to be sent by email to abujasolicitations@usaid.gov as a Microsoft Word attachment, with a submission deadline of June 6, 2018. Eligible respondents were listed as "unrestricted," meaning any type of organization or stakeholder could provide input, consistent with the purpose of an RFI to gather broad perspectives rather than to pre-select applicants.Apply for RFI 620 18 OVC
