Deadline- April 2, 2012
Countries/Region- Rwanda
For more than five years, the USAID/Rwanda Mission (USAID/Rwanda) has been supporting Rwandan civil society to promote health and provide critical HIV prevention and care. Under USAID/Forward, USAID/Rwanda has identified Rwandan civil society organizations (CSOs) capable of receiving funding directly from USAID. This new activity is to initiate direct funding of Rwandan CSOs to 1) promote improved nutrition, especially among women of reproductive age and young children less than two years of age, and 2) improve the well-being of orphans and vulnerable children and their families affected by HIV/AIDS.
The purpose of this Annual Purpose Statement (APS) is to disseminate information to prospective applicants so that they may develop and submit applications for USAID funding. This APS: (A) describes the types of activity for which applications will be considered; (B) describes the funding available and the process and requirements for submitting applications; (C) explains the criteria for evaluating applications; and (D) refers prospective applicants to relevant documentation available on the internet. USAID/Rwanda anticipates awarding multiple grants and/or cooperative agreements as a result of this APS.
