Opportunity Summary:
The FY2010 GDA Annual Program Statement (APS OAA 10 000001) is a USAID grant opportunity designed to attract and support Global Development Alliances (GDAs), which are public-private partnerships meant to advance USAID's international development goals. The central theme is not simply creating more partnerships, but building alliances that are more strategic, higher-impact, and more likely to produce sustainable results in countries where USAID is already operating. The announcement frames this as part of a broader U.S. government emphasis during the Obama administration on working in practical coordination with the private sector, nonprofits, and faith-based organizations to strengthen development, humanitarian, and (where relevant) commercial outcomes.
USAID's Office of Development Partners (ODP) is seeking proposals from prospective partner organizations willing to bring meaningful added value to development programming, not just through funding but also through innovative approaches, technologies, expertise, market access, and new networks of collaborators. A key expectation is resource leveraging: competitive proposals are expected to provide at least a 1:1 match, meaning partners should contribute resources at least equal to the amount requested from USAID. The solicitation also signals that proposals involving corporate funding partners, and especially those where corporate partners show a credible commitment to continue the activity after USAID financing ends, will be viewed more favorably. In other words, USAID is looking for alliances that can stand on their own over time, reduce dependency on donor funding, and scale or persist because partners have real long-term incentives to stay involved.
The program statement is broad in scope and supports alliances across a wide range of development sectors. The listed focus areas include food security and agriculture; anti-corruption, democracy and governance, and civil society strengthening; humanitarian assistance and disaster preparedness, response, and recovery; economic growth and trade capacity building; education and youth; climate change, environment, and energy; health; information technology; urban programs; and water. This breadth reflects that the opportunity is meant to be a flexible entry point for partnerships rather than a narrow, single-sector competition, with the common denominator being the GDA model of shared resources and shared risk.
From a funding and administrative standpoint, the opportunity is offered as a grant under CFDA 98.001 (USAID Foreign Assistance for Programs Overseas). The estimated total funding amount is $10,000,000, with an award floor of $50,000 and an award ceiling up to $10,000,000. USAID anticipated making around 60 awards, suggesting a portfolio approach where many alliances could be funded at different sizes depending on the strength and readiness of proposals. Eligibility is described as unrestricted, meaning it is broadly open to many types of entities (subject to any additional eligibility clarifications in the full announcement). Cost sharing is explicitly required, aligning with the 1:1 leveraging expectation and reinforcing that USAID intends to use its funds to catalyze additional non-federal contributions rather than fully finance projects.
The timeline indicates the announcement was posted January 5, 2010, with a closing date of September 30, 2010 (and an archive date of October 30, 2010). Overall, the opportunity is best understood as USAID inviting organizations to bring well-structured partnership concepts that mobilize private-sector capabilities and resources alongside development expertise, with a clear plan for measurable impact and durability after USAID support concludes. For access issues or questions tied to the full announcement, the listed contact was Agreement Officer Mohammad Kamal Ayub at 202-712-5781.
