Zimbabwe Orphans and Other Vulnerable Children Project: The United States Agency for International Development in Zimbabwe (USAID/Zimbabwe) plans to award a new five-year bilateral cooperative agreement for orphans and other vulnerable children (OVC) activities. The new project will build on lessons learned through the implementation of the USAID-funded Support to Replicable Innovative Village/Community Level Efforts for Vulnerable Children (STRIVE) Project. The overall goal of the new project is to reduce the vulnerability and improve the well-being of Zimbabwes OVC by increasing resources for community-driven efforts. The project will fit within the framework of Zimbabwes National Action Plan for OVC, with a focus on: (1) supporting local community structures in meeting the needs of OVC; (2) protecting targeted groups of highly vulnerable children; and (3) advocating for OVC at the community level and providing information and capacity-building to enable communities to more effectively respond to the OVC crisis. It is also expected that experiences will be routinely monitored, documented, and disseminated within Zimbabwe, the region and internationally. USAID/Zimbabwe expects to fund this program at a level of up to $2,350,000 a year for five years (i.e. up to a total of $11,750,000 for the life of the project). The anticipated period of performance is December 1, 2007, to November 30, 2012. Applicants will be expected to propose creative, flexible and innovative approaches and will be encouraged to propose a percentage match in funding from other sources.This RFA is open to all qualified interested organizations.
