Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity, titled "Building Women's Leadership Capacity in the Disaster Efforts in Haiti," is a USAID Annual Program Statement (APS) focused on strengthening Haitian women leaders and women-led organizations in the context of Haiti's reconstruction and disaster recovery. The central aim is to expand the ability of Haitian women and local women's groups to participate meaningfully in decision-making and leadership roles tied to rebuilding the country. Alongside direct capacity-building, the program is also designed to generate practical knowledge and tools that USAID and the Haiti Mission can use to better integrate gender considerations across development, humanitarian assistance, and transition programs, making gender inclusion a routine part of how recovery and long-term development efforts are planned and carried out.
This opportunity is offered as a cooperative agreement, meaning USAID expects to have substantial involvement during implementation rather than simply providing funds and stepping back. The funding is structured for a single expected award, with an estimated total funding amount of $1,500,000 and an award ceiling of $1,500,000. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement, which lowers the barrier for eligible organizations that may not be able to contribute significant non-federal resources.
Eligibility is broad and includes registered U.S. and non-U.S. nongovernmental organizations, nonprofit organizations, and for-profit organizations as long as they are willing to forego profit under the award. In practice, this opens the door to a range of implementers such as international NGOs, Haitian or regional organizations that meet registration requirements, and mission-driven private entities that can operate on a no-profit basis for this work.
The APS timeline reflects a multi-round solicitation format. The opportunity was posted on July 7, 2010, with a first-round application deadline of August 4, 2010, and an overall APS closing date of July 6, 2011. This structure suggests USAID intended to consider applications in waves over the life of the APS, beginning with an initial review round shortly after posting. The funding opportunity number is APS-OAA-10-000008, and the CFDA listing associated with it is 98.001 (USAID Foreign Assistance for Programs Overseas). The announcement notes that Amendment No. 1 was published, indicating there were updates or clarifications made after the original release that applicants would need to review in the full solicitation.
For applicants needing support accessing the announcement, the listed point of contact is G. Serapis Irby, Contract Specialist, reachable by phone at 202-712-0561.
