Opportunity Information: Apply for RFI 624 18 CHILL
USAID/West Africa issued a Request for Information (RFI) related to a potential health activity in Cameroon titled "Community HIV/AIDS Investments for Longer and healthier Lives (CHILL) in Cameroon." The purpose of this posting is not to fund or select projects yet, but to gather input from organizations and other stakeholders before USAID decides whether to release a formal funding announcement. In practical terms, USAID is asking the community to review what it is thinking about doing in Cameroon on HIV/AIDS and to help strengthen the design early, while changes are still possible.
The RFI has two main goals. First, it invites interested parties to review a DRAFT Concept Note included in the RFI package (listed as Appendix 1) and to provide comments, suggested improvements, and requests for clarification. Second, it asks stakeholders to respond to a set of specific questions connected to that Concept Note (Appendix 2). The notice emphasizes that the feedback is meant to inform USAID's planning and that the RFI itself may or may not result in a future competitive solicitation. In other words, USAID is signaling that it is exploring a program concept and wants market and technical feedback, but it is not promising that funding will definitely follow.
A key point repeated throughout the notice is that this is not a Notice of Funding Opportunity and it is not accepting applications for financial assistance. USAID states it will not accept applications submitted in response to this RFI and will only accept applications if and when it issues a formal Request for Applications (RFA) or similar funding announcement later. Anyone interested in eventually applying is advised to monitor Grants.gov and the USAID Business Forecast page for updates on whether the opportunity progresses into an official solicitation.
The opportunity is categorized as a discretionary USAID health activity, with an anticipated funding instrument type of Cooperative Agreement, and it is listed under CFDA number 98.001. The eligibility field is described as "Unrestricted," meaning it is open to any type of entity, subject to any additional eligibility clarifications that might appear in the full text. The funding record also lists an anticipated award ceiling of $28,086,275 and an expectation of one award, which suggests USAID may be considering a single, sizeable implementing mechanism if it proceeds to a formal competition.
Administrative details in the listing identify the Agency for International Development (USAID), with the posting associated with USAID-Accra (Ghana) under USAID/West Africa. The opportunity number is RFI 624-18-CHILL, with a creation date of October 31, 2018, and an original closing date of November 21, 2018, indicating the window during which feedback was requested. For parties unable to retrieve the RFI package from the posting site, USAID provided a direct contact method to request the complete RFI by email: rbertholon@usaid.gov, using the subject line "RFI-624-18-CHILL."
Overall, the CHILL Cameroon notice is best understood as an early-stage planning and consultation step. It provides a preview of USAID's draft approach to a community-focused HIV/AIDS investment in Cameroon and invites technical and operational feedback to refine the concept, while making clear that no funding decisions can be made and no applications will be accepted until a formal RFA is issued.Apply for RFI 624 18 CHILL
