Opportunity Summary:
The Brazil Partnership Development Program was a USAID Mission in Brazil grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number APS 512-10-000001) designed to fund new partnerships that advance USAID/Brazil priorities tied to economic growth and investing in people. Rather than focusing on a single technical area, the program was set up as a broad partnership platform, inviting organizations to propose initiatives that align with one or more of USAID Brazil's priority themes. USAID specifically requested concept papers, meaning the initial entry point was a shorter, idea-level submission intended to identify promising partnership concepts before any potential full application process.
The opportunity was categorized as discretionary funding and used a grant as the funding instrument. USAID anticipated making about five awards under this announcement, drawing from an estimated total funding amount of $2,000,000. Individual awards could range widely, with a minimum (floor) of $50,000 and a maximum (ceiling) of $2,000,000, which suggests USAID was open to both smaller pilot partnerships and larger, more comprehensive initiatives depending on the strength and scope of the concept. There was no cost-sharing or matching requirement stated, so applicants were not required to contribute their own funds as a condition of eligibility, although partnership-driven proposals often still leverage other resources in practice.
Programmatically, USAID highlighted five initiative areas where it wanted to see partnerships formed or strengthened. These included: (1) Corporate Social Responsibility, implying collaboration with or through private-sector actors and business-led social investment; (2) Disaster Assistance, indicating interest in preparedness, response capacity, risk reduction, or related resilience efforts; (3) Energy, with an emphasis on clean energy and energy efficiency; (4) Environment, specifically biodiversity, which often includes conservation, sustainable resource use, and ecosystem protection; and (5) Health, focused on major infectious disease priorities including HIV/AIDS, malaria, and tuberculosis. Collectively, these areas reflect a mix of development, humanitarian assistance, environmental protection, and public health objectives, all framed through the lens of partnership development.
Eligibility was intentionally broad. USAID opened the competition to both U.S. and non-U.S. non-governmental organizations, and it did not limit applicants to nonprofits only; for-profit NGOs were also eligible to apply. This structure signaled an interest in flexible, cross-sector collaboration and a willingness to fund a variety of organizational models as long as the applicant could credibly deliver activities aligned with mission priorities. The listing associated the opportunity with CFDA 98.001 (USAID Foreign Assistance for Programs Overseas), which is the standard assistance listing covering many USAID-funded overseas development activities.
In terms of timing and status, the opportunity was posted on April 14, 2010, with an original and current closing date of April 13, 2011, and it was archived on May 13, 2011. The sponsoring agency was the USAID Mission in Brazil (USAID Brasilia). For access issues related to the full announcement, the listed point of contact was Ana Mendes, an Acquisition and Assistance Specialist, with a Brazil phone number provided in the notice.
