Opportunity Information: Apply for RFI 603 21 00001
The USAID/Djibouti Early Childhood Education Activity notice describes a planned, multi-year education effort that USAID/Djibouti was designing to help Djibouti expand inclusive and equitable access to quality early childhood education (ECE). The concept is framed as an activity expected to run for as long as five years, with an indicative funding ceiling listed at up to USD 12,000,000 and an expectation of one award, though those figures reflect planning assumptions rather than a guaranteed funding commitment.
Importantly, the document is not an actual funding competition. It is issued as a Request for Information (RFI), meaning USAID is asking the public, implementing organizations, and other stakeholders to provide comments and feedback that can improve USAID's project design. Because it is an RFI, it is not a Request for Proposals (RFP) and not a Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO). In practical terms, this means organizations were not being invited to submit full applications or bids, and USAID was not committing to release a solicitation, make an award, or pay respondents for the information they provide. USAID also states clearly that it is not obligated to procure any of the services discussed and that the RFI does not lock the agency into any particular future approach.
The notice also emphasizes that responding to the RFI does not create any competitive advantage in any later procurement, if one is eventually announced. Any organization that chooses to respond must cover its own costs for preparing and submitting feedback. For those interested in future opportunities, the announcement directs potential applicants to monitor official U.S. government portals, specifically beta.SAM.gov and Grants.gov, where USAID posts competitive opportunities when they are formally released.
From an administrative standpoint, the opportunity is categorized under discretionary funding, with the instrument type listed as "Other," and the activity category listed as Education under CFDA 98.001. Eligibility is described as unrestricted, meaning any type of entity could potentially participate, subject to any additional eligibility details that might be included in the full text or attachments. The listing shows the issuing office as USAID (noted under USAID-Addis Ababa in Ethiopia for posting/administrative purposes), with a creation date of November 4, 2021, and an original closing date of November 26, 2021 at 1700, which refers to the deadline for submitting RFI feedback rather than an application deadline for funding.
Overall, this announcement is best read as an early market and stakeholder sounding exercise: USAID is gathering input to shape a potential five-year ECE program in Djibouti focused on improving access and quality with an explicit emphasis on inclusion and equity, while reserving full discretion over whether and how a formal funding opportunity might later be issued.Apply for RFI 603 21 00001
