Opportunity Information: Apply for 72061120RFA00001
The Service Delivery for Vulnerable Children and Adolescents (SDVCA) opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number 72061120RFA00001) is a USAID Zambia (USAID-Lusaka) discretionary funding call focused on identifying and supporting locally sourced approaches that improve services for vulnerable children and adolescents. It was issued as a Round 3 Call for Concept Papers under the existing New Partnerships Initiative Global Health Annual Program Statement (NPI GH APS) No. 7200AA19APS00013. In practical terms, this means USAID is using a broader umbrella partnership mechanism (the NPI GH APS) to invite targeted concept notes for solutions that strengthen health-related and protective services for at-risk young people, rather than requesting full proposals upfront.
A central feature of this call is its emphasis on “Modality 1,” which prioritizes direct awards to new and underutilized local organizations in the host country where the work will take place. The intent is to expand USAID’s partner base and route funding more directly to local entities that may not have previously received significant USAID awards, strengthening local leadership, implementation capacity, and sustainability. Eligibility is listed broadly as “Others,” but the description makes clear the primary audience is local organizations based in the host country(ies) relevant to the application, rather than large, established international implementers.
The program sits within the health funding activity category (CFDA 98.001) and uses a funding instrument type labeled “Other,” reflecting the APS-based approach where awards can be structured flexibly depending on the concept, partner capacity, and negotiated scope. The opportunity was created on October 10, 2019, with an original closing date of December 11, 2019. While the posting does not spell out the technical model in the excerpt provided, the title and framing indicate a focus on service delivery for vulnerable children and adolescents, which commonly encompasses strengthening access, quality, and continuity of essential services for young people facing heightened risks (for example, barriers tied to poverty, limited access to healthcare, social protection needs, or other vulnerability factors). Because it is a concept paper call, applicants would generally be expected to present a clear problem statement, a locally grounded solution, evidence or rationale for why it will work in context, an implementation approach, and a high-level budget and results logic, with USAID selecting the most promising concepts for further development.
From a funding perspective, the award ceiling is listed as $50,000,000, indicating USAID anticipated the possibility of relatively large awards under this call, depending on the final scope, geographic coverage, and negotiated deliverables. The number of expected awards is not specified in the source text provided, suggesting it may have depended on the quality and volume of concept submissions and available funds. Overall, SDVCA Round 3 is best understood as a competitive invitation for locally led organizations to propose scalable, context-specific interventions that improve service delivery outcomes for vulnerable children and adolescents in Zambia, aligned with USAID’s broader goal of expanding direct local partnerships through the NPI Global Health APS.Apply for 72061120RFA00001
