Opportunity Information: Apply for 72061124RFA00004
USAID Acting on Climate Change Together is a discretionary funding opportunity released by USAID in Zambia (USAID-Lusaka) under Federal Assistance Listing (FAL) 98.001, which covers USAID foreign assistance programs overseas. The Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) number is 72061124RFA00004, and the agency is soliciting applications to implement the "Acting on Climate Change Together" program through a cooperative agreement. Because it is a cooperative agreement rather than a grant, applicants should expect substantial involvement from USAID during implementation, including ongoing collaboration, guidance, and oversight consistent with the terms set in the NOFO.
The opportunity was issued on September 13, 2024. Questions must be submitted by September 27, 2024 at 1700 Central Africa Time (CAT), and full applications are due by October 28, 2024 at 1500 CAT. USAID notes that responses to questions submitted by the deadline will be shared with all potential applicants through an amendment posted on Grants.gov, which means the solicitation may evolve and applicants are expected to monitor the posting for updates and clarifications. Applications are evaluated using the merit review criteria described in the NOFO and are also subject to a risk assessment, so technical quality alone may not be enough; organizational responsibility, compliance posture, and risk factors can influence the final award decision.
Eligibility is explicitly unrestricted, meaning any qualified entity may apply (for example, NGOs, for-profit firms, universities, local organizations, international organizations, and consortia), as long as they meet the eligibility and submission requirements laid out in Section C and provide all required application information. USAID indicates it intends to make one award (ExpectedAwards: 1). The listing shows an AwardCeiling of 0, which typically signals that the ceiling amount is not specified in the summary record and applicants must consult the full NOFO for the anticipated funding level, budget parameters, cost principles, and any funding limitations.
Submission and administrative compliance are emphasized. The NOFO is posted on www.grants.gov, and USAID places the burden on applicants to ensure they are working from the complete and most current version, including any amendments. Applicants also must meet all Unique Entity Identifier (UEI) and System for Award Management (SAM) requirements referenced in the NOFO (Section D.6.g is cited). Because SAM registration can take weeks, USAID urges applicants to start registration early; failure to complete these registrations can prevent an award even if an application scores well. Technical issues with Grants.gov are directed to the Grants.gov Helpdesk (1-800-518-4726 or support@grants.gov).
Finally, the notice underscores several standard federal funding conditions: publishing the NOFO does not commit the US Government to make an award, and USAID will not reimburse any costs associated with preparing or submitting questions, concept materials, or applications. Applicants bear all costs and submit at their own risk. For program specifics such as objectives, required activities, geographic focus, expected results, and detailed evaluation criteria, applicants are directed to read the full NOFO closely and use the official points of contact listed in Section G for questions before the stated deadline.Apply for 72061124RFA00004
