Opportunity Summary:
The "CAREER DEVELOPMENT CENTERS SUPPORT" opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number APS 263 11 000001) was a USAID/Egypt Annual Program Statement designed to fund education-development programs in Egypt, specifically those led by or rooted in Egypt-based organizations and aligned with needs identified by Egyptians themselves. The funding was offered under USAID's authority through the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961 (as amended), and it sat within the Education funding activity category under CFDA 98.001 (USAID Foreign Assistance for Programs Overseas). While this APS focused on career development centers support, it also emphasized that the U.S. Government supports Egypt's education system through other USAID efforts beyond this particular announcement.
The award mechanism was a cooperative agreement, meaning USAID expected to have substantial involvement in program direction and implementation rather than simply issuing a hands-off grant. The opportunity was listed as "Mandatory" in the posting details and anticipated making up to five awards. The total estimated funding available across the APS was up to $10,000,000, with an award floor of $1 and an award ceiling of $10,000,000. There was no cost-sharing or matching requirement stated, which generally lowers the financial barrier for applicants who may not be able to contribute non-federal funds.
Eligibility was broad: Egyptian, U.S., and international organizations could apply. At the same time, USAID encouraged partnership-based proposals, especially collaborations involving local, U.S., or international organizations and including public or private universities. This signals an emphasis on coalitions that can bring together local context and ownership with technical capacity, training expertise, and institutional links that universities and established organizations often provide.
In terms of timeline and status, the opportunity originally posted on June 21, 2011, with an original closing date of June 21, 2012, and a listed current closing date of May 31, 2012. It was later archived on July 21, 2012. Importantly, the announcement also states that all available funding for this APS had been successfully committed and that USAID was no longer reviewing or considering further applications. In practical terms, that means the program is closed and fully subscribed, even though it remains as a historical record of the funding opportunity and its requirements.
For administrative and applicant support, the listing included a point of contact at USAID Cairo for organizations that could not access the full announcement electronically: Sherine Gerguis, AA Specialist, reachable by phone at 202 25226925 and by email at sgerguis@usaid.gov.
