Additional Information of Eligibility:
For the Data-Driven Communities Project, the focus on sub-national activities suggests the possibility of a consortium of entities (see below): One or more organizations cooperating to work at the national and/or district levels, in partnership with organizations already active at local levels working to instill greater local level impact and ownership.
However, one organization must serve as the Prime Applicant (known throughout this NOFO as “Applicant”), and will be accountable for execution of the entire project by the consortium.To be eligible as an Applicant under this Cooperative Agreement, an organization must be a Non-USG Federal Entity per 2 CFR 200.69 (Non-Federal entity means a state, local government, Indian tribe, institution of higher education (IHE), or nonprofit organization that carries out a Federal award as a recipient or sub-recipient).
U. S. and Non-U. S. organizations, East African (regional) and Tanzanian (local) organizations are therefore eligible to serve as the Prime Applicant under this NOFO.
Competition is unrestricted, but organizations must comply with 2 CFR 200.69 – and with the budget allocation requirements (see section below).There are no eligibility restrictions for the subpartners and consortia members.
