Opportunity Information: Apply for 72069524RFI00002
USAID Burundi has released a Request for Information (RFI) related to an upcoming activity titled "Itongo Ryanje Itunga Ryanje" (also referenced as "Itongo Ryanje, Itungo Ryanje"). The purpose of this notice is strictly to gather written input from interested organizations to help USAID plan and shape a future program. It is not a funding opportunity by itself, and it should not be treated like a proposal call or an application process. In other words, USAID is asking the market and potential partners to share ideas, perspectives, and relevant information now, but it is not committing to fund anything or to launch a formal solicitation afterward.
The agency makes several important points about what this RFI does and does not mean. It is not a Request for Proposal (RFP) or a Request for Applications (RFA), and it does not guarantee that USAID will issue a future solicitation or Notice of Funding Opportunity. USAID will not pay for any costs associated with preparing or submitting an RFI response, and it will not treat submissions as binding offers. Responding also does not provide any competitive advantage if a later procurement or assistance competition is released. USAID also states it will not provide answers or individualized feedback to submissions, and any information provided may be used by USAID without restriction or limitation.
From the opportunity record, the funding opportunity number is 72069524RFI00002, the agency is USAID (Mission in Burundi, USAID-Bujumbura), and the opportunity category is listed as discretionary with a funding instrument type of "Other." The activity category is also marked "Other," and the CFDA/assistance listing number provided is 98.001. Eligibility is described as "Unrestricted," which generally signals that USAID is open to receiving information from a wide range of entities rather than limiting responses to a specific type of organization. The posting includes planning figures that suggest the potential scale of a future award, including an award ceiling of 5,500,000 and an expectation of 1 award, but those figures should be read as preliminary planning information rather than a guarantee of future funding.
Instructions for responding are straightforward and email-based. Responses must be submitted by email to the Acquisition and Assistance Specialist, Liliane Gatunange, at lgatunange@usaid.gov, and the subject line must include the RFI number 72069524RFI00002. The closing date listed is May 31, 2024. USAID will not accept hard copy submissions and will not entertain phone inquiries; all questions or communication must go through the email address provided. Finally, USAID reminds interested parties that any future competitive announcements would be posted on beta.sam.gov or grants.gov, and it is the responsibility of potential applicants or offerors to monitor those sites for updates.Apply for 72069524RFI00002
