Opportunity Information: Apply for 72061519RFI00001
The RFI-Local Partner Service Delivery Activity (LPSDA) - OVC Activities is a USAID Kenya and East Africa opportunity focused on improving how vulnerable children and adolescents (often referred to as OVC, orphans and vulnerable children) and their families access and use county-led social services in selected counties across Kenya. The core idea is to strengthen and scale quality, locally managed service delivery so that children and adolescents affected by HIV/AIDS receive more consistent, effective support through systems led by Kenyan county structures rather than relying primarily on external, donor-driven mechanisms. In practical terms, the activity is designed to help counties deliver key social and protective services for children and adolescents, while also connecting to broader health and wellbeing outcomes aligned with Kenya national priorities.
A central goal of the activity is to contribute to the Government of Kenya's objective of safeguarding the rights and welfare of children and adolescents whose lives have been impacted by HIV/AIDS. The services envisioned typically sit at the intersection of social welfare, child protection, and adolescent support, aiming to ensure that affected households are linked to the kinds of assistance that reduce vulnerability and improve long-term stability. The opportunity is positioned to support progress toward global Sustainable Development Goals by focusing on child and adolescent health, protection, and overall wellbeing, recognizing that HIV-related vulnerability is not only a medical issue but also a social and economic one that can affect education, safety, household stability, and access to basic services.
Another major emphasis is sustainability through systems strengthening. The activity is intended to build the capacity of national and local social service systems and structures, meaning it is not just about delivering services in the short term but also about improving the ability of Kenyan institutions to plan, manage, coordinate, and monitor OVC-related programming over time. A specific element highlighted is the transition of beneficiary households that have been supported under PEPFAR away from ongoing U.S. Foreign Assistance. This transition is described as evidence-informed graduation, implying the use of data and defined criteria to determine when households can safely and sustainably exit donor-supported programming while maintaining access to essential services and protections through local systems.
The opportunity also aligns with USAID's broader "Journey to Self-Reliance" approach, which prioritizes strengthening country ownership and local capacity so development gains can be maintained without long-term external support. In this case, USAID/KEA frames its overall goal as increasing the use of quality county-led health and social services, indicating that the initiative is part of a wider strategy to reinforce county-level delivery and encourage communities and households to rely on improved public and local systems.
From an administrative standpoint, this notice is labeled as an RFI (Request for Information), which generally signals that USAID is gathering input from the market and potential partners to shape a future program design rather than immediately issuing a standard competitive funding solicitation. The opportunity is listed under the Health funding activity category with CFDA number 98.001 and is managed by the Agency for International Development, East Africa (USAID-Kenya). The funding opportunity number is 72061519RFI00001, it was created on July 29, 2019, and the original closing date was August 9, 2019. The anticipated scale is substantial, with an award ceiling of $178,100,000 and an expectation of up to five awards, suggesting USAID was considering multiple implementing partners and a sizable multi-county footprint. Eligibility is broadly described as "Others," with additional clarification typically provided in the full eligibility text of the original notice, implying that nontraditional entities or a range of organizations may have been invited to respond depending on USAID's criteria.
Overall, the LPSDA OVC Activities opportunity is about delivering and improving essential services for HIV-affected vulnerable children and adolescents in Kenya by pushing leadership and implementation closer to county systems, using evidence and structured transition approaches to reduce long-term donor dependency, and strengthening local social service capacity so child welfare and protection outcomes can be sustained well beyond the life of USAID support.Apply for 72061519RFI00001
