Opportunity Summary:
The FY2013 Global Development Alliance (GDA) Annual Program Statement (APS) is a USAID funding opportunity aimed at building public-private partnerships that can deliver stronger, longer-lasting development results. The core idea is to pair USAID's development expertise, field presence, and relationships with the private sector's commercial capabilities, technical know-how, market access, and assets. USAID frames these alliances as a way to solve important development challenges through approaches that are market-led, and to do so in ways that can be replicated, sustained over time, and expanded to reach larger populations.
This opportunity supports a specific partnership model called a Global Development Alliance, which USAID describes as a particular type of public-private partnership. Under this model, USAID and one or more private-sector partners collaborate on a shared solution where both sides have clear value. USAID emphasizes that these alliances are meant to advance mutual interests: development outcomes for USAID and business success or business-relevant outcomes for private partners, with the expectation that broader economic growth and poverty reduction help sustain those gains. A defining feature is leveraging: USAID expects at least a one-to-one match, meaning private-sector partners should bring at least $1 in resources for every $1 USAID contributes. Because of that requirement, cost sharing or matching is explicitly required.
From an administrative standpoint, the opportunity is issued by the U.S. Agency for International Development under Funding Opportunity Number APS-OAA-13-000003, with the funding activity associated with CFDA 98.011 (Global Development Alliance). The mechanism types listed include cooperative agreement, grant, and "other," reflecting that USAID may use different assistance instruments depending on the partnership design and level of anticipated involvement. As an APS, the intent is generally to invite concept development and collaboration rather than fund a single pre-defined project; it is structured to catalyze and facilitate alliances that can be tailored to specific development problems and market contexts.
Eligibility is broad and includes multiple organization types, such as nonprofits (including those with and without 501(c)(3) status), institutions of higher education (private and public/state-controlled), and other applicants as further defined in the APS. The announcement directs applicants to review Section IV of the attached APS document for the complete eligibility list and any specific conditions. The posting date is March 1, 2013, and the closing date for this APS cycle is January 31, 2014 (original and current closing date are the same in the provided record).
For applicants that cannot access the full announcement electronically or need assistance, the listed point of contact is Suhaib Khan, Contracting Officer, at (202) 567-5059.

What is the FY2013 Global Development Alliance (GDA) Annual Program Statement (APS)?
The FY2013 GDA APS is a USAID funding opportunity designed to build public-private partnerships that can produce stronger and longer-lasting development results. The opportunity focuses on forming alliances that combine USAID's development expertise, field presence, and relationships with private-sector capabilities like technical know-how, market access, commercial capacity, and other assets.
What is the main goal of this funding opportunity?
The main goal is to solve important development challenges through market-led approaches that can be replicated, sustained over time, and expanded to reach larger populations.
