Opportunity Summary:
The "Libya Development Challenge Co create/co design" opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number: BAA LIBYA DTU 2015) is a USAID Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) that sets up a flexible framework for funding and partnering activities intended to strengthen support for Libya's political transition and national unity. Rather than being a single, one-time grant competition with one defined project scope, it functions more like an umbrella notice. USAID uses this BAA to signal that it plans to invite solutions over time, and it will release specific, topic-focused funding calls as addenda under the broader "Libya Development Challenge" label. Each addendum is where the practical details will appear, such as the particular problem to be addressed, what kinds of solutions USAID is looking for, how to submit, and how proposals will be evaluated.
From an administrative standpoint, the opportunity is categorized as "Other" for both the opportunity category and the funding instrument type, and it sits within the "Science and Technology and other Research and Development" activity area. It is tied to CFDA 98.001 (USAID Foreign Assistance for Programs Overseas). The notice states there is no cost sharing or matching requirement, which generally means applicants are not required to contribute their own funds as a condition of eligibility, although specific addenda could still include budgeting rules or expectations that applicants should check carefully.
A key point is that USAID is not asking applicants to respond to this umbrella announcement with a full proposal for a single defined program. Instead, the BAA explains that real opportunities to apply will come through the Libya Development Challenge addenda. Those addenda may ask for different kinds of submissions depending on the topic and the maturity of the ideas USAID is trying to attract. For example, one addendum might request a short expression of interest, another might require a concept paper first and then invite full applications from a shortlist, and another might specify unique evaluation criteria, formats, or timelines. In other words, the base BAA establishes the rules of the road, while the addenda provide the destination and the route.
The posting and creation dates are May 29, 2015, with an original and current closing date of May 28, 2016, indicating a roughly one-year window during which USAID anticipated issuing and managing these addenda-driven challenges. Eligibility is listed broadly as "Others," with the note that applicants must consult the attached BAA document for clarifications and any restrictions. That phrasing usually signals that eligibility could include a wide range of organizations (potentially NGOs, universities, private sector entities, consortia, and other partners), but the definitive eligibility rules are in the full BAA text and any addendum-specific instructions.
For questions or access issues, the point of contact provided is Doanh Van, Contracting Officer, at USAID (email address referenced in the notice). In practice, anyone interested in partnering would need to monitor for the release of specific Libya Development Challenge addenda, then follow the submission instructions and deadlines in the relevant addendum, since those documents control what USAID will actually review and fund under this BAA.
