Opportunity Summary:
The "RFI Local Organization Survey" (Funding Opportunity Number 608-15-001) is a USAID/Morocco request for information designed to collect input from locally based non-governmental organizations in Morocco. The purpose is not to award funding through a competitive grant at this stage, but to gather practical information that will help USAID conduct an ongoing analysis of local organizations capacity to implement projects. USAID is specifically interested in hearing from Moroccan NGOs, with particular emphasis on organizations active in the non-formal education sector, though the notice is framed around locally based NGOs more broadly.
This notice is categorized as a discretionary opportunity and lists "Cooperative Agreement" as the funding instrument type, but it is clearly labeled as an RFI rather than a funding competition. As a result, the estimated total funding is shown as $0, and the main action requested from organizations is to complete and submit a short survey. The survey is available in both French and English and must be returned electronically to USAID/Morocco, indicating the process is intended to be lightweight and accessible rather than requiring a full proposal package.
Eligibility is limited to locally based NGOs (the listing indicates "Others" with clarification provided in the eligibility information field). In practical terms, this is a market and capacity research exercise focused on Moroccan civil society organizations. USAID expects responses to support its understanding of which local partners are positioned to deliver education-related activities, what their operational strengths and constraints may be, and how local implementation could be structured effectively in future programming.
Key dates included in the notice are: posted on November 21, 2014 (created November 20, 2014), with a closing date of December 5, 2014. The opportunity was later archived on January 4, 2015. Organizations needing help accessing the announcement or materials are directed to contact Salya Yacoubi at USAID Rabat (phone: +212 53763 7200; email: syacoubi@usaid.gov).

The estimated total funding is listed as $0, reflecting that the action requested is informational (submission of a survey) rather than a solicitation for funded proposals.
