Additional Information of Eligibility:

Eligible Applicants Applicants who are eligible to apply as the Prime Recipient are U.S, international or national organizations, faith-based and community organizations, or educational institutions, who are able to respond both in writing and in person through oral applications.
U. S. and non-US organizations may participate under this NFO.
However, under certain components in the Program Description, USAID requests that applicants identify local partners and local organizations that are currently operating in Kenya to implement activities under the objectives.
The incorporation of Kenyan organizations into the overall technical approach will be evaluated.
USAID defines a local organization as one that: • Is organized under the laws of the recipient country; • Has its principal place of business in Kenya; • Is majority-owned by individuals who are citizens or lawful permanent residents of the recipient country or is managed by the governing body, the majority of whose members are citizens or lawful permanent residents of Kenya; and • Is not controlled by a foreign entity or by an individual or individuals who are not citizens or permanent residents of Kenya.
The term “control†or controlled by†in the above definition means having a majority ownership or beneficially interest, or the power, either directly or indirectly, whether exercised or exercisable, to control the election, appointment, or tenure of the organization’s managers or a majority of the organization’s governing body by any means, e.g., ownership, contract, or operation of law.
The term “Foreign Entity†means an organization that fail to meet any part of the “local organization†definition.
USAID anticipates making one award to one prime offeror with sub-awardees as proposed in their application.
Please refer to the individual components in the Program Description to determine eligibility for each of the four components of the program.
USAID welcomes applications from organizations which have not previously received financial assistance from USAID.
Applicants must have established financial management systems, monitoring and evaluation processes, internal control systems, and policies and procedures that comply with established U. S. Government standards, laws, and regulations.
The successful applicant will be subject to a responsibility determination assessment by the Agreement Officer (AO).
The Recipient must be a responsible entity.
