Opportunity Information: Apply for 720623RFA00003
The Market Based Resilience for Marginalized Populations (MB-RMP) Activity is a USAID funding opportunity focused on supporting resilience-oriented, market-based approaches for marginalized populations in Somalia. USAID is seeking applications from qualified organizations to carry out this activity through a Cooperative Agreement, which typically means USAID expects substantial involvement during implementation (for example, collaboration on technical direction, coordination, oversight, and adaptive management) rather than providing a hands-off grant. The opportunity sits within the Agriculture funding activity category, signaling that the program is likely centered on improving livelihoods, market participation, and economic resilience through agriculture and related market systems, though the specific technical priorities and required interventions are detailed in the formal Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO).
This is a discretionary funding opportunity under Funding Opportunity Number 720623RFA00003, issued by the U.S. Agency for International Development, East Africa, specifically USAID-Kenya as the issuing office. The opportunity was created on November 10, 2021, with an original application closing date of January 14, 2022. USAID anticipated making one award, with a maximum possible funding level (award ceiling) of USD 65,000,000. The CFDA/assistance listing number associated with the opportunity is 98.001, which is commonly used for USAID foreign assistance programs.
Eligibility is described as unrestricted, meaning it is broadly open to applicants of any entity type, as long as they meet the requirements and any conditions clarified in the NOFO under the section labeled Additional Information on Eligibility. In practice, this kind of language generally allows a wide range of organizations to compete, including non-profits, for-profits, universities, and potentially consortia, subject to standard USAID compliance rules and any Somalia- or sector-specific restrictions laid out in the NOFO.
In summary, MB-RMP is a large, single-award USAID cooperative agreement aimed at implementing a market-based resilience activity in Somalia targeted at marginalized populations, administered through USAID’s East Africa platform. Key headline details include a USD 65 million ceiling, one expected award, broad eligibility, an agriculture-related program category, and a competition timeline that opened in November 2021 and originally closed in mid-January 2022, with full technical and administrative requirements contained in the attached NOFO.Apply for 720623RFA00003
