USAID did not respond to questions individually, but has addressed pertinent questions in the revised RFA. The revised RFA also addresses recent revisions to the Automated Directives System (ADS) 303, including revised construction requirements, and asks applicants to include illustrative and prioritized interventions per purpose and sub purpose as an Annex.
Further, USAID's email capacity in Section IV Application and Submission Information is changed from 25 megabytes (MB) to 10 MB, including all attachments. Applicants may still use multiple emails or zip files, if needed.
