FY2012 GDA APS Addendum USAID/Indonesia No. 497 1 | Apply Online

Opportunity Summary:

This opportunity is a USAID/Indonesia addendum under the Global Development Alliance (GDA) Annual Program Statement (APS) for FY2012, issued as Addendum No. 497-1 to APS OAA-12-000003. It invites organizations to submit short concept papers for a program described as the Indonesia Innovation Fund, which is intended to foster and drive innovation in Indonesia. The core purpose of the addendum is to solicit partnership-oriented, innovative ideas that can expand access to vocational and workforce development while also making those programs more relevant to labor market needs. In practical terms, USAID is looking for approaches that help more people participate in skills training and that improve how well training aligns with real employment opportunities.

The technical focus is specifically on vocational and workforce development interventions in two settings: (1) formal school environments at the upper-secondary level, and (2) non-formal training and education sectors. That framing suggests USAID wanted concepts that could work both inside the conventional secondary education system (for example, strengthening career and technical education pathways, improving school-to-work transitions, or building stronger linkages between schools and employers) and in training models outside the formal system (such as community-based training centers, short-course credentialing, industry-led bootcamps, apprenticeship-type programs, or other continuing education and reskilling platforms). While the addendum does not list example interventions, the repeated emphasis on innovation, access, and relevance signals a preference for models that are not business-as-usual and that show credible potential to improve outcomes for learners and employers.

From an award and funding standpoint, the opportunity is categorized as discretionary and anticipates a single award. The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, meaning USAID expected substantial involvement in implementation rather than a hands-off grant. The estimated total funding is listed as $2,500,000, and both the award ceiling and award floor are also set at $2,500,000, which effectively indicates a single fixed-size award amount rather than a range. The opportunity also carries a cost-sharing or matching requirement, consistent with the GDA partnership model, where USAID typically seeks leveraged resources, co-investment, or partner contributions to increase scale and sustainability.

Applicants were instructed to rely on both this addendum and the full FY2012 GDA APS announcement because key requirements were not repeated in the addendum itself. Eligibility is therefore not fully spelled out in the addendum text and instead refers applicants to Section II.A of the full APS posted at http://idea.usaid.gov/gp/aps. The published eligibility line says “Others (see text field entitled Additional Information on Eligibility for clarification),” reinforcing that the authoritative eligibility rules and any restrictions are located in the main APS document rather than in the addendum summary.

The application requirement was a concept paper of no more than five pages, submitted by email to USAID/Indonesia. Submissions were to be sent to Jay Cody at tcody@usaid.gov with a copy to Johanna Gardjito at jgardjito@usaid.gov. The deadline for submission was July 31, 2012 (the original and current closing date are the same), and applicants were instructed to include a precise subject line reference: “GDA APS OAA 12 000003 Addendum No. 497-1.” For administrative support, the addendum provides a point of contact for access issues related to the full announcement: Johanna Gardjito, Acquisition Specialist, phone +62 21 3435 9497. The opportunity was posted May 31, 2012 and later archived January 31, 2013, under CFDA 98.001 (USAID Foreign Assistance for Programs Overseas) and the activity category of Education.
