Opportunity Summary:
The Development Grants Program (DGP) Kenya is a USAID funding opportunity designed to strengthen Kenyan Local Non-Governmental Organizations (LNGOs). The core idea behind the program is that a strong, capable, and active local NGO sector is essential for a healthy civil society, especially one that can hold institutions accountable and remain responsive to what citizens need. The opportunity sits within USAID's Democracy, Governance and Conflict portfolio, which signals an emphasis on improving civic participation, accountability, governance outcomes, and resilience in the broader civic space.
USAID plans to make a single grant award under this solicitation, with total funding set at USD 1,000,000. The award structure is a Fixed Amount Award, meaning the grant is generally tied to the completion of defined activities or milestones at agreed-upon amounts rather than open-ended reimbursement of costs. The performance period can be up to three years starting from the date the agreement is signed, though the award is described as subject to the availability of funds. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement indicated, so applicants are not required to contribute their own funds as a condition of eligibility.
Eligibility is limited to Kenyan Local Non-Governmental Organizations, and the funding opportunity is administered by USAID Kenya / East Africa. The opportunity is categorized as discretionary and uses a grant as the funding instrument. The listing is associated with CFDA number 98.001 (USAID Foreign Assistance for Programs Overseas), which is the standard federal assistance listing used for many USAID overseas assistance awards.
Key administrative details include the funding opportunity number RFA 615 15 000001 and the title "Development Grants Program (DGP) Kenya."
