Opportunity Information: Apply for RFA 278 16 000002
The USAID/Jordan Water Conservation Activity (WCA) funding opportunity is a USAID notice of funding opportunity (NOFO) seeking applications from qualified organizations to deliver technical assistance and support for a water conservation program in Jordan. The award is structured as a cooperative agreement, meaning the recipient would be expected to work closely with USAID during implementation rather than operating entirely independently. The opportunity falls under CFDA 98.001 and is listed as a discretionary funding opportunity in the "Other" funding activity category.
Eligibility is listed as "unrestricted," but applicants still must meet the specific eligibility requirements described in Section C of the NOFO and submit every item the NOFO requires. In practical terms, this means that even though there is no broad categorical restriction (such as limiting eligibility only to nonprofits or only to U.S.-based entities), an organization still has to demonstrate it qualifies under USAID rules and the NOFO's stated standards, and it must provide complete and compliant application documentation.
The opportunity number is RFA 278 16 000002. USAID planned to make one award under this solicitation, with an award ceiling of up to $30,000,000. The posting indicates an original closing date of December 28, 2015, and a creation date of October 19, 2015, which places the solicitation in the 2015 funding cycle. While the summary does not describe the technical scope in detail (for example, specific target utilities, cities, or performance metrics), the title and description make clear that the program focus is water conservation in Jordan and that the recipient's role centers on providing technical assistance and related support to the activity.
Administrative and submission details emphasize that the NOFO is hosted on Grants.gov and may be amended, so applicants were expected to check the listing regularly to ensure they were working from the most current version of the solicitation. The notice also flags common submission issues: applicants may need Adobe software to open, complete, and save required federal forms properly, and applicants bear responsibility for ensuring they have downloaded the complete NOFO package without missing pages or corrupted files. USAID also explicitly disclaims responsibility for errors that might occur from internet transmission or file conversion problems, reinforcing that applicants must verify their materials before submission. For technical problems with Grants.gov registration or access, the notice directs applicants to the Grants.gov Helpdesk (1-800-518-4726) or support@grants.gov.
Finally, USAID/Jordan indicated it intended to hold a pre-application conference in Washington, DC, open to all potential applicants. The purpose of the conference was to walk through the funding opportunity, provide additional context, and address questions or requests for clarification. For applicants, that kind of session typically serves as an important chance to confirm USAID expectations, understand how USAID interprets parts of the NOFO, and identify any forthcoming amendments or common compliance pitfalls before submitting a final application.Apply for RFA 278 16 000002
