Opportunity Information: Apply for RFI 673 17 000001
The DREAMS Initiative Namibia opportunity is a USAID Southern Africa request for information (RFI) inviting comments from organizations on a planned HIV prevention program in Namibia that will focus specifically on adolescent girls and young women. Rather than being an immediate call for full proposals, it is positioned as a market-research and program-design step where USAID is seeking feedback from a broad range of stakeholders to help shape how the future activity should be structured, implemented, and targeted. The opportunity sits in the health sector and is tied to HIV prevention, with an emphasis on a population group that is often at heightened risk due to a mix of biological, social, and economic factors.
The issuing office is the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), Southern Africa, listed under USAID-Pretoria (South Africa). The funding opportunity title is "DREAMS Initiative Namibia" and the opportunity number is RFI 673 17 000001. The opportunity category and funding instrument type are both labeled as "Other," which is consistent with an RFI notice that is not yet a standard assistance award mechanism such as a grant or cooperative agreement. The associated CFDA number is 98.001, indicating it is part of USAID's foreign assistance programming.
Eligibility is described as unrestricted, meaning it is open to any type of entity, with the caveat that additional eligibility clarifications could appear in the full notice text (if provided elsewhere). This typically signals that USAID wants input from a wide array of groups, such as local and international NGOs, community-based organizations, implementing partners, research institutions, private sector actors, and potentially government or parastatal entities, depending on the specifics of the RFI instructions.
In terms of scale, the notice references an award ceiling of USD 20,000,000 and anticipates one award. While an RFI itself does not commit USAID to funding, these figures strongly suggest the agency is exploring a single, relatively large implementation arrangement for a future DREAMS activity in Namibia. DREAMS programs generally aim to reduce new HIV infections among adolescent girls and young women through layered, complementary interventions, often combining biomedical, behavioral, and structural approaches, though the notice here is brief and focuses mainly on the target population and prevention objective.
The posting date is April 7, 2017, with an original closing date of April 28, 2017, indicating a roughly three-week window for stakeholders to provide comments. Overall, this opportunity should be understood as an invitation to inform USAID's planning for a major HIV prevention initiative in Namibia centered on adolescent girls and young women, with the potential for a substantial single award to follow once the program design is finalized.Apply for RFI 673 17 000001
