Opportunity Information: Apply for RFI 720656 19 DLGSP
The opportunity is a USAID Mozambique (USAID-Maputo) Democracy and Governance (DRG) Request for Information (RFI) titled "Request for Information - Democratic Local Governance Strengthening Program in Mozambique" (Funding Opportunity Number: RFI 720656 19 DLGSP). Its purpose is to collect feedback from the public on a program description and on a set of specific questions that USAID has posed about a future Democratic Local Governance Strengthening Program. The program concept described in the notice is focused on strengthening democratic local governance in Mozambique, with the longer-term intent of increasing individual agency and building the human capital of Mozambicans, in a way that complements and aligns with broader USAID development efforts operating in the country.
This notice is explicitly not a funding competition. USAID emphasizes repeatedly that the RFI is not a Request for Applications (RFA) and not a Request for Proposals (RFP), meaning organizations should not treat it as an invitation to submit a project design, technical proposal, or budget. Responses are only meant to provide information, insights, and comments that could help USAID refine its thinking. Under FAR 15.201(e), anything submitted in response to the RFI is not an offer and cannot be accepted by the U.S. Government to create a binding agreement. In practical terms, this means there is no award associated with this notice, no selection decision, and no promise that a future solicitation will ever be released.
The announcement also lays out several important conditions and limitations. USAID is not requesting cost information or detailed implementation proposals, and it warns that full proposals will not be reviewed and will be discarded. Responding to the RFI does not create any advantage in a later procurement, and it is not a prerequisite for competing later if USAID eventually issues a solicitation. USAID will not answer questions submitted in response to the RFI and will not provide individualized feedback on comments received. Organizations are responsible for monitoring the relevant solicitation platforms for any future announcements. The notice further states that USAID will not compensate any respondent for the time or expense of preparing an RFI response, and the agency does not take on any obligation to pay costs incurred by respondents.
From an eligibility and administrative standpoint, the listing indicates "Eligible Applicants: Unrestricted," signaling that USAID is open to receiving information from a broad range of entities rather than limiting participation to a narrow class of organizations. The opportunity is categorized as "Other" under the opportunity category and activity category, and it references a cooperative agreement as the funding instrument type; however, because this is an RFI rather than a solicitation, that instrument type is best read as an indicator of what a future instrument might look like rather than something being offered now. The published award ceiling is listed as 0 and the expected number of awards is not specified, reinforcing that there is no funding being made available through this notice.
Submission logistics are also clearly spelled out. Hard copy submissions are not required and are discouraged, and late submissions will not be accepted. Respondents will receive an electronic confirmation that their response was received, but they should not expect any substantive follow-up. USAID also advises respondents not to submit proprietary information, since the agency is seeking general feedback and does not want confidential or restricted material.
Key dates and identifiers included in the source data are that the notice was created on 2019-09-23 and the original closing date for submitting RFI responses was 2019-10-07. The CFDA number is listed as 98.001. Overall, the opportunity is best understood as a market research and program design step by USAID/DRG for a possible future local governance initiative in Mozambique, with the immediate goal of gathering stakeholder input rather than awarding a grant or cooperative agreement.Apply for RFI 720656 19 DLGSP
