USAID Local Solutions to Health Priorities in Indonesia (LSHP) Dear Prospective Respondents
and Interested Parties, The United States Government, represented by the U. S. Agency for International Development (USAID) in Indonesia, is in the process of designing an activity to support its localization efforts.
USAID is publishing this Request for Information (RFI) pursuant to FAR 5 2. 215-3 to conduct market research, and gauge interest from qualified organizations for the draft Activity Description.
This announcement is an RFI, issued solely for information and planning purposes and does not constitute a request for application.
Responses to this request for information are not binding on the U. S. Government and do not obligate USAID to issue a solicitation, nor do they commit USAID to pay any cost incurred in the preparation and submission of comments and responses.
Brief Activity Description:
USAID is committed to shifting more leadership, ownership, decision making, and implementation to the local people and institutions who possess the capability, connectedness, and credibility to drive change in their own countries and communities.
This enhanced localization approach will require a different way of doing business internally to USAID and for our partners including Indonesian organizations and government institutions.
If USAID/Indonesia decides to proceed with a funding opportunity, then up to five (5) awards to local partners to implement activities in Health and Global Health Security program areas with an overall estimated up to $25 million (i.e., each award valued at approximately $5 million), over 5 years are anticipated, subject to the availability of funds.
The funding opportunity for the anticipated Activities will be utilizing modality one of the NPI APS.
i.e., Direct awards to new and underutilized organizations that are local entities in the host country in which an applicant is applying.
It will involve a brief concept submission, followed by co-creation, before soliciting full applications from the finalists.
While the Activities design is still in progress, USAID envisions that local organizations might propose partnering with other local organizations or even with international partners as part of a consortium.
There is no prohibition against a local partner's (LP) ability to contract out support functions.
Potential prime local partners can make a business decision to have organizations which specialize in certain functions assist them with their financial, administrative, and management functions if they lack the expertise needed to perform these functions themselves.
It’s important to note that if a local prime partner outsources any functions, they would still be responsible for the final decisions, outcomes, and accuracy of such services.
For example, if there is an error in any of the financial management services that negatively impacts the award or results in disallowed costs, that would be the responsibility of the prime local partner.
To complement the key objectives of Activities being designed, USAID/Indonesia is especially interested in the following being addressed in the concept paper, if funding opportunity is issued:
The organization’s approaches to addressing diversity, needs of marginalized groups, and identifying potential for addressing GBV; The organization’s approach to holistic organization-wide capacity strengthening, as opposed to a narrow focus on managing the USAID project, including cost sharing for organization-wide capacity development needs.
