Opportunity Summary:
The funding opportunity titled "Assistance to Communities Displaced by Benguela Province Floods" is a USAID solicitation for a single cooperative agreement intended to support Angolan communities affected by flooding in Benguela Province. It is presented as a discretionary grant opportunity under USAID-SAF and is focused on assistance for populations displaced by the floods, indicating an emphasis on humanitarian or early recovery activities aimed at meeting urgent needs and stabilizing affected communities.
This opportunity is offered through a cooperative agreement, which generally means USAID expects to be more actively involved than it would be under a standard grant. In practice, this typically involves substantial collaboration during implementation, such as joint planning on key activities, more frequent coordination, and closer oversight of program performance and compliance. The funding activity category is listed as "Other," suggesting the program may not fit neatly into a single standard sector label and may combine multiple types of support depending on needs on the ground.
Eligibility is explicitly restricted to Angolan entities, with the solicitation calling for applications from qualified Angolan non-governmental organizations. In other words, only organizations legally established in Angola and meeting the specific requirements described in the Notice of Funding Opportunity (especially Section C, which covers eligibility) would be able to apply. The listing of eligible applicants as "Others" reflects that eligibility is narrowed by the additional instructions rather than being broadly open to all nonprofit or international applicants.
The award has a stated ceiling of $1,045,000 and USAID anticipated making one award, indicating a single implementer would likely be selected to run the program. The opportunity was created and posted on March 4, 2016, and the application deadline was April 4, 2016. The associated CFDA number is 98.001, which is commonly used for USAID foreign assistance listings.
