Opportunity Information: Apply for SOL 388 17 000006
The Feed the Future Bangladesh Nutrition Activity is a USAID/Bangladesh funding opportunity released under the U.S. Government's Feed the Future (FTF) initiative to support a five-year nutrition-focused assistance program in Bangladesh. The Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) invites concept notes as the first step in a competitive selection process to identify one implementing organization that will carry out the activity through a Cooperative Agreement. The opportunity is open to both U.S. and non-U.S. organizations, with eligibility broadly described as unrestricted, although applicants are expected to follow any additional eligibility instructions included in the full NOFO.
The planned award has an estimated maximum value (award ceiling) of up to $24.5 million, contingent on the availability of funds, and USAID anticipates making a single award. The program is designed specifically to improve nutrition outcomes among nutritionally vulnerable groups, including children under five, pregnant and lactating women, and adolescent girls, with a geographic focus on the southwest region of Bangladesh. In practical terms, the activity is meant to reduce malnutrition by tackling both immediate dietary gaps and the underlying household and community factors that shape nutritional status.
The opportunity frames its strategy around three connected pathways. First, it aims to increase the consumption of nutritious, diverse, and safe diets by rural households, which typically implies efforts that improve diet quality and variety, strengthen access to nutrient-rich foods, and reduce food safety risks that can worsen health and nutrition. Second, it emphasizes the social and economic empowerment of women and girls, reflecting the widely recognized link between women's decision-making power, control over resources, and improved household nutrition and child well-being. Third, it seeks to improve access to and adoption of better water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) practices, acknowledging that poor WASH conditions contribute to infections and environmental factors that can undermine nutritional gains, particularly for young children.
Administratively, the opportunity is categorized as a discretionary grant-type award administered by the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), using a Cooperative Agreement instrument, which generally indicates substantial involvement by the agency during implementation compared to a standard grant. The funding opportunity number is SOL 388 17 000006, the CFDA listing is 98.001, and the posting lists a creation date of February 12, 2017, with an original closing date of March 21, 2017.Apply for SOL 388 17 000006
