Opportunity Summary:
The Excellence in Higher Education for Liberian Development (EHELD) opportunity is a USAID/Liberia initiative designed to strengthen Liberia's higher education system over a five-year period, with a specific focus on engineering and agriculture. The program is framed around three connected goals: expanding access to higher education, improving the quality of instruction and training, and making academic programs more relevant to Liberia's development priorities. In practical terms, the grant is meant to help Liberia build a stronger pipeline of graduates and skills in two fields that are closely tied to national recovery and long-term growth, so the country is better positioned to address major development challenges.
This opportunity was issued as a discretionary funding action and would be implemented through a Cooperative Agreement, which typically means the funder expects substantial involvement during implementation rather than a hands-off grant. The funding activity category is Education, and the CFDA listing is 98.001 (USAID Foreign Assistance for Programs Overseas). The announcement anticipated one award, indicating USAID expected a single lead implementer (or a consortium led by one organization) to run the full program.
The total estimated funding level for the opportunity was $18,500,000, with an award ceiling equal to the full amount and an award floor of $3,800,000. Cost sharing or matching was required, so applicants needed to propose some level of non-federal contribution as part of their application. Eligibility was listed as unrestricted, meaning any type of entity could apply, subject to any additional conditions or clarifications contained in the full announcement.
Key dates show the opportunity was posted on September 2, 2010, with an original and final closing date of October 15, 2010, and it was archived on November 14, 2010. The issuing agency is USAID in Monrovia, Liberia. For support accessing the full announcement, the contact listed was Satish Kumar, Senior Contracts Specialist, reachable by phone at 231 77098706 or by email at skumar@usaid.gov.
