Opportunity Information: Apply for 72069621RFA00001
The THRIVE Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) Activity is a USAID/Rwanda funding opportunity intended to support a multi-year effort to increase the use of safe drinking water and sanitation services in Rwanda, with a particular emphasis on rural areas and strengthened local systems. USAID plans to make one Cooperative Agreement award, meaning the selected implementer will work in close collaboration with the Agency during implementation, with substantial USAID involvement typical of this instrument. The opportunity sits within the health-related funding category (CFDA 98.001) and is offered as a discretionary award.
The overall goal of THRIVE-WASH is straightforward: improve the utilization of safe drinking water and sanitation services. To reach that goal, the activity is organized around three core objectives that reflect both service delivery needs and the enabling environment required to sustain those services over time. First, it aims to improve decentralized WASH governance, which generally points to strengthening the capacity, coordination, planning, oversight, and accountability of sub-national institutions responsible for WASH. In practice, this objective commonly includes reinforcing district-level leadership, improving budgeting and decision-making processes, supporting regulatory and monitoring functions, and ensuring that local structures can manage WASH services effectively after external support ends.
Second, the activity seeks to improve rural drinking water services. This objective focuses on making water services more reliable, safe, and consistently used by communities. While the notice summary does not list specific interventions, work under this objective typically involves improving service quality and continuity, supporting operations and maintenance systems, strengthening the performance of service providers, reducing downtime of water points, and promoting practices that ensure water remains safe from source to household use. The emphasis on "services" (rather than only infrastructure) signals an intent to support sustainable delivery models, not just construction or rehabilitation.
Third, THRIVE-WASH targets improvements in rural sanitation and handwashing services and products. This objective connects infrastructure and markets with behavior and public health outcomes by supporting access to sanitation options and enabling regular handwashing. The inclusion of "services and products" suggests attention to both supply and demand: strengthening the availability of sanitation and hygiene products and services while also encouraging consistent adoption and use. Programs under this objective often work with local private sector actors, community systems, and public institutions to increase access to sanitation solutions, improve handwashing facilities, and drive behavior change that reduces disease transmission.
Eligibility for the award is unrestricted, meaning applications are open to any qualified entity, subject to any additional eligibility clarifications contained in the full Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO). The funding opportunity number is 72069621RFA00001, and the funding opportunity title is "THRIVE Water Sanitation and Hygiene Activity." USAID issued the opportunity on December 28, 2020, with an original closing date of February 16, 2021. The award ceiling is $21,000,000, and USAID expects to make a single award.
For procedural questions about the NOFO, USAID directs applicants to contact Elvira Kassimova, Assistance Specialist, by email at ekassimova@usaid.gov, by the deadline and time listed on the NOFO cover page.Apply for 72069621RFA00001
