Opportunity Information: Apply for RFI 617 19 SBC4T
The Social and Behaviour Change for Transformation (SBC4T) opportunity is a USAID/Uganda Request for Information (RFI) intended to gather input from interested organizations and experts on how to design and implement a future activity focused on Social and Behavior Change (SBC). Rather than being a finalized funding solicitation with a set budget and award structure, this notice is primarily a market and technical consultation step where USAID is seeking practical feedback on approaches that can strengthen the ability of individuals, households, and communities in Uganda to adopt a set of "priority behaviors." The underlying idea is that when priority behaviors are adopted consistently and at scale, they can drive broader transformation in households, communities, and even the systems that influence health and development outcomes.
The activity concept sits within USAID/Uganda's broader strategy framework and is most directly aligned with the Country Development Cooperation Strategy (CDCS) Development Objective Three (DO3), described as improving accountability and responsiveness of key systems to Uganda's development needs. In other words, SBC4T is not framed only as changing individual behavior; it is also framed as strengthening the enabling environment and the systems that shape, reinforce, or block sustained behavior change. At the same time, the activity is expected to contribute indirectly to two other strategic goals: DO1, which focuses on increasing community and household resilience in selected areas and among target populations, and DO2, which focuses on influencing demographic drivers in ways that support long-term trend shifts. This positioning signals that USAID views SBC as a cross-cutting tool that can support multiple development priorities, including resilience and demographic outcomes, even if the primary home for the activity is in systems accountability and responsiveness.
From the grant-making perspective, the notice lists the anticipated funding instrument type as a cooperative agreement, which typically implies a significant level of involvement by USAID during implementation compared to a standard grant. The activity category is health, and the CFDA number referenced is 98.001, which is commonly associated with USAID foreign assistance. Eligibility is listed as unrestricted, meaning USAID is open to feedback (and potentially future competition) from a wide range of entities rather than restricting participation to a narrow applicant class. The listing does not provide an award ceiling, expected number of awards, or budget details, which is consistent with an RFI stage where the agency is still shaping the scope and parameters of the eventual procurement or assistance mechanism.
Administratively, the opportunity is issued by USAID in Kampala (USAID/Uganda). The RFI is identified as RFI 617 19 SBC4T, with a creation date of October 3, 2018, and an original closing date of October 24, 2018. The short response window is another indicator that this was intended as a targeted request for ideas and lessons learned to inform USAID's planning. Overall, SBC4T should be understood as an early-stage opportunity for organizations to influence the design of a forthcoming USAID-supported SBC effort in Uganda by sharing evidence-based approaches, implementation models, and insights on how to improve adoption of priority behaviors in ways that lead to lasting health and development improvements.Apply for RFI 617 19 SBC4T
