Opportunity Summary:

The IKAT: US Civil Societies Innovating Together opportunity is a USAID/Indonesia funding announcement released through an amendment to the original solicitation. The amendment mainly serves two practical purposes: it formally announces a pre-proposal conference scheduled for September 2, 2010 in Jakarta, Indonesia, and it provides written responses to questions that were submitted before the first-round question deadline of August 12, 2010. In other words, this particular posting is less about changing the core program goals and more about clarifying the competition process and ensuring applicants have consistent guidance before submitting.

This grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number APS 497 10 000001, Amendment 01) is offered as a Cooperative Agreement under the broad activity area of Regional Development. USAID anticipated making about five awards, with individual award sizes expected to fall between USD 1,000,000 (floor) and USD 3,000,000 (ceiling). There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement indicated, which means applicants are not required to contribute a defined portion of project costs from their own or third-party resources as a condition of eligibility.

Eligibility is focused on non-governmental organizations, specifically Indonesian and US NGOs. The listing notes the opportunity category as “Other” and indicates that eligibility is “unrestricted” in a general sense, but with the explicit clarification in the eligibility text that the intended applicant pool is Indonesian and US NGO organizations. The CFDA number associated with the funding is 98.001, which corresponds to USAID Foreign Assistance for Programs Overseas, confirming it is part of USAID’s overseas assistance programming.

The application process is structured in rounds and centers on concept paper submissions. The first round concept papers were due October 7, 2010, and a second round concept paper deadline was set for August 2, 2011. Submissions were to be sent electronically to the dedicated email address: aps_497_10_000001@usaid.gov. The posting date for the amendment was August 27, 2010, and the opportunity was later archived on September 1, 2011, reflecting the end of the active competition window.

For prospective applicants needing help obtaining the full announcement or attached documents, the contact listed is Johanna Gardjito, an A&A Specialist at USAID Jakarta, with a Jakarta-based phone number (+62 21 3435 9497). Overall, IKAT is framed as a mechanism to support civil society innovation and collaboration involving US and Indonesian NGOs, with USAID providing sizeable cooperative agreement funding and using a staged concept paper approach to manage the competition.
