Opportunity Summary:
The Democracy and Governance Annual Program Statement (APS) 2016 is a discretionary funding opportunity issued by USAID (specifically USAID-ELS, indicating the El Salvador mission) to support activities across defined democracy and governance programmatic areas. USAID is inviting applications that could lead to multiple awards, and it signals flexibility in the kinds of awards it may make under this announcement, primarily cooperative agreements and potentially grants, depending on the nature of the proposed work and the level of USAID involvement anticipated during implementation. The overall intent is to fund democracy and governance programming rather than a single narrowly defined project, which is typical of an Annual Program Statement format.
The opportunity is identified as APS 519 16 000002 and is listed under CFDA number 98.001. While the general eligibility field indicates the competition is broadly open to different types of entities (including both U.S. and non-U.S. organizations), the announcement includes an important restriction: Programmatic Area 3 is reserved exclusively for local Salvadoran organizations. Applicants interested in that specific area would need to meet the eligibility requirements described in Section C of the Notice of Funding Opportunity, meaning that even if international organizations may apply under other areas, only qualified local Salvadoran entities can compete for Area 3 funding.
USAID anticipated making multiple awards, with an expected total of about six awards under this APS. The award ceiling listed is $15,000,000, which reflects the maximum amount anticipated for an individual award or the highest level of funding contemplated under the solicitation structure (as stated in the opportunity summary). The announcement was created and posted on May 3, 2016, and the closing date for submissions was June 28, 2016. Overall, the APS is structured to enable USAID to support a range of democracy and governance initiatives through several awards, while also ensuring a dedicated funding stream that is accessible only to local Salvadoran organizations under one of the three programmatic areas.
