Opportunity Information: Apply for 72068519RFA00013
The USAID/Senegal School Water Integrated Solutions for Health opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number 72068519RFA00013) is a discretionary USAID grant competition for a three-year cooperative agreement designed to improve access to safe drinking water in and around schools in Senegal. The activity is co-funded by USAID's Economic Growth and Education Offices and is rooted in a straightforward education-and-health premise: in parts of the Matam Region, weak or nonexistent water infrastructure is directly harming students' ability to attend school consistently, stay healthy, and learn effectively. The program concentrates on remote and vulnerable communities where schoolchildren and teachers currently struggle to access even basic drinking water.
The main objective is practical and intentionally modest: ensure that each child and teacher has reliable access to a small, safe supply of drinking water rather than building large-scale water systems. To achieve this, the solicitation emphasizes quick-impact approaches that can be implemented rapidly, using low-cost entry points to safe water where possible and developing entirely new sources when needed. The design leans heavily toward solutions that are simple, inexpensive, and realistically maintainable in rural settings, with implementation occurring alongside sustained community engagement so that water points are used correctly, protected, and kept functional over time.
A central part of the opportunity is sustainability through local governance and light-touch financing. Where it makes sense, the activity is expected to establish a financial governance model based on fee-for-service arrangements, allowing communities to collect small amounts of money dedicated specifically to routine upkeep and maintenance. Rather than creating new institutions from scratch, the program expects implementers to build on existing community structures, especially School Management Committees (SMCs) and Parent-Teacher Associations (PTAs). These groups are anticipated to provide participatory oversight and serve as the backbone of local water point maintenance organizations, helping manage responsibilities, coordinate repairs, and improve accountability so that the infrastructure continues to function after the project ends.
Administratively, the award is managed by USAID/Senegal (USAID-Dakar) under CFDA 98.001, with an anticipated single award and an award ceiling of $2,000,000. The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which typically means USAID plans to be substantially involved during implementation, working closely with the selected recipient to guide technical direction, monitor progress, and ensure results align with the activity's education and community health goals. The opportunity was originally posted on October 17, 2019, with an original closing date of December 9, 2019, and eligibility is listed broadly as "Others" with further clarification referenced in the solicitation's eligibility section.Apply for 72068519RFA00013
