Opportunity Information: Apply for 72061521R00026
This opportunity is a Request for Information (RFI), not a funding solicitation, issued by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) Kenya and East Africa Mission (USAID/KEA) under RFI No. 72061521R00026. It was released on September 14, 2021, with responses due by September 28, 2021, no later than 5:00 p.m. Nairobi local time. The RFI is part of USAID/KEA's planning process for its next phase of preventing and countering violent extremism (P/CVE) programming, referred to as the Preventing and Addressing Violent Extremism (PAVE) program.
The core purpose of the RFI is to gather input from a broad range of stakeholders to strengthen the design of the upcoming PAVE program and maximize its potential impact. USAID/KEA is using this market outreach to understand what capabilities exist across industry and other relevant actors, what approaches are feasible, and what level of interest there may be in supporting the future program. In practical terms, the RFI invites interested parties to review the concept and provide comments, recommendations, and other information that could shape the eventual program strategy, priorities, and implementation model.
USAID indicated that PAVE was expected to run for three years (2022 to 2024) with the possibility of two additional option years, signaling a multi-year effort with potential extension depending on performance, funding, and evolving needs. Although the listing includes a "Cooperative Agreement" as the anticipated instrument type and classifies the activity area under Law, Justice, and Legal Services (CFDA 98.001), the RFI itself does not offer funding, does not specify an award amount, and lists an award ceiling of $0. In other words, respondents should treat this as a planning and information-gathering exercise rather than an application for an immediate grant.
Eligibility is described broadly as "all relevant interested parties," with the note that specific eligibility details should be confirmed in the RFI document itself. The overall message is that USAID/KEA wanted early, practical feedback from organizations and stakeholders that work in, study, or support P/CVE efforts, so that the final PAVE program design would reflect on-the-ground realities, proven practices, and the range of partner capabilities available in the market.Apply for 72061521R00026
