Opportunity Information: Apply for RFA OAA 12 000025
The Development Grants Program (DGP) is an initiative from the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) aimed at enhancing the quantity and effectiveness of both local and U.S.-based non-government organizations (NGOs) that work to meet community needs. This program supports USAID's mission to strengthen civil society by building the capacities of local NGOs (LNGOs) and U.S. private voluntary organizations (PVOs) to tackle current development challenges.
The DGP has several key objectives:
1. **Broaden Participation**: Encourage more LNGOs, especially local intermediary organizations with the potential for significant impact, alongside U.S. PVOs, to engage in USAID programs focused on prioritized development goals. 2. **Expand Organizational Capacity**: Increase the number of LNGOs and U.S. PVOs equipped with effective planning, management, and service delivery systems that can not only implement USAID-funded projects but also sustain these efforts independently after the funding period.
3. **Measure Contributions**: Ensure that LNGOs and U.S. PVOs can demonstrate measurable achievements that contribute to the development objectives of specific USAID country programs in alignment with agency priorities.
The program promotes the idea of cost-sharing and encourages the formation of local alliances among various sectors, such as public, private, and civil society partnerships. These alliances, which involve formal agreements between multiple parties, aim to combine resources and efforts to tackle developmental challenges more effectively. The DGP encourages both U.S. PVOs and LNGOs to collaborate with private sector partners and foundations to enhance the impact and sustainability of their projects.
For additional details on USAID and building alliances, resources are available at their official website.Apply for RFA OAA 12 000025
