Opportunity Information: Apply for 72062020RFA00009
Water Resources Management for Enhanced Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene (WRM-WASH) is a USAID/Nigeria (USAID-Abuja) funding opportunity focused on improving water resources management in ways that strengthen water, sanitation, and hygiene outcomes. The opportunity is issued as a Round 6 call for concept papers under the New Partnerships Initiative Global Health Annual Program Statement (NPI GH APS) (APS No. 7200AA19APS00013). In practical terms, this means USAID is looking for short, early-stage concept submissions first, with the intent to identify promising ideas and partners that can later be developed into more complete applications or awards, depending on the pathway used.
The funding is posted under Funding Opportunity Number 72062020RFA00009 and is categorized as a continuation opportunity, using an “Other” type funding instrument, with the activity area listed as Health (CFDA 98.001). Even though WASH is often treated as an infrastructure or environment topic, USAID is explicitly positioning this call within a global health partnership framework, which signals an emphasis on public health impact, service reliability, and sustainability rather than only construction or hardware. The eligible applicant field is broad (“Others”), but the design of the call makes it clear the priority is to bring in partners that USAID considers new, underutilized, and local to the countries where they will work.
A central feature of this opportunity is that it sits under multiple “modalities” meant to widen participation beyond the usual large implementers. Modality 1 supports direct awards to new and underutilized organizations that are local entities in the host country or countries where they are applying. Modality 2 supports direct awards to new and underutilized organizations that qualify as locally established partners (LEPs) in the host country or countries. Modality 3 is structured for sub-awards to local new or underutilized partners, where a prime awardee plays a limited mentorship role rather than controlling implementation in the traditional way. Two sub-tracks are included under Modality 3: 3a for local entity sub-awardees that are moving toward becoming direct award recipients, and 3b for locally established partner sub-awardees. Modality 4 supports direct awards to partners specifically to leverage private or non-USAID funding, which is essentially encouraging cost-sharing, blended finance, or partnerships that bring additional resources to WASH and water resources management objectives.
In terms of scale, the award ceiling listed is up to $10,000,000. The posting also indicates an original closing date of November 2, 2020, and a creation date of September 23, 2020. While the number of expected awards is not specified in the provided data, the relatively high ceiling suggests USAID anticipated funding one or more substantial activities, or potentially a smaller set of larger awards depending on the strength of concepts received and how USAID chose to structure agreements under the APS framework.
Overall, WRM-WASH is best read as a partnership-driven USAID/Nigeria call that aims to expand the pool of implementing organizations, particularly local and underutilized groups, while advancing water resources management approaches that improve WASH outcomes. It combines public health framing with water systems and resource management priorities, and it offers multiple entry routes ranging from direct local awards to mentored sub-awards and arrangements that mobilize additional non-USAID capital.Apply for 72062020RFA00009
