Opportunity Summary:
The ODP 2009 Annual Program Statement (APS), Funding Opportunity Number M OAA GRO EGAS 09 232, is a USAID solicitation issued through the Office of Development Partners under the Global Development Alliance (CFDA 98.011). It is designed to fund public-private alliances that advance development outcomes by combining USAID resources with partner resources, expertise, and networks. The opportunity is structured to support a wide range of alliance concepts rather than a single narrowly defined project, and it allows USAID missions and Washington Operating Units (WOUs) to consider and fund proposals that match their priorities, geographic focus, and operational needs during the fiscal year.
The APS supports alliance activities across many sectors, specifically: agriculture; anti-corruption, governance, and civil society strengthening; humanitarian assistance; disaster preparedness, response, and recovery; economic growth and trade capacity building; education; environment and energy; food security; health; information technology; urban programs; and water. The emphasis on "public-private alliances" signals that proposals should be built around collaboration between public actors and private sector or nontraditional partners, typically with shared responsibilities and a clear development rationale for why the partnership approach is necessary to achieve results at scale or with stronger sustainability.
Awards may be made either as grants or cooperative agreements. A cooperative agreement generally indicates USAID expects to have substantial involvement during implementation (for example, in coordination, technical direction, or oversight), while a grant is usually more recipient-driven, though still subject to standard federal requirements. The APS also includes a cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants should be prepared to contribute resources alongside USAID funding. In practice, cost share can include cash and, depending on the program terms, certain allowable in-kind contributions, but applicants would need to follow the specific guidance provided by the relevant mission or operating unit and the APS itself.
Funding amounts are flexible. The notice states there is no strict minimum or maximum for individual proposals or cumulative awards under the APS, but it provides a useful reference range based on prior awards: approximately 50,000 to 10,000,000. The listing also states an award floor of 50,000 and an award ceiling of 10,000,000, which aligns with that historical range and gives applicants a practical sense of typical award sizes. The number of awards is not fixed and will depend on available funding, mission/WOU priorities, and the overall quality and viability of proposals received.
Eligibility is described as unrestricted, meaning applications are open to any type of entity as long as the applicant meets any additional eligibility conditions described in the APS. This typically allows participation from a broad mix of organizations such as nonprofits, for-profits, universities, faith-based organizations, and other entities, with the expectation that the proposed alliance structure and partner commitments will be central to the application.
A key administrative detail is that applications must not be submitted through Grants.gov. Instead, all applications and questions must be submitted directly to the relevant USAID mission, using the contact information provided in the attached Annual Program Statement. This matters because missions/WOUs are the primary entry point for submission, review, and follow-up, and applicants should tailor their engagement to the mission context and instructions rather than relying on a centralized electronic portal.
The opportunity was posted on December 2, 2008, with a closing date of September 30, 2009 (original and current closing date are the same), and it was archived on October 30, 2009. For access issues related to the full announcement, the contact listed is Jerry OBrien, Deputy Division Chief, at 202 712 4455.
