Opportunity Summary:
The Women in Development for Prosperity Program (WIDPP) is a USAID/Guinea (USAID Conakry) funding opportunity aimed at advancing inclusive development by strengthening womens empowerment and leadership in local governance and development planning. The program is built around the idea that when women have real influence in political and civic life, communities benefit through more inclusive decision-making, improved accountability, and ultimately greater peace and prosperity. The project is expected to mainstream a gender focus throughout its activities, meaning gender considerations should not be treated as a separate component but integrated into planning, implementation, and outcomes across the entire effort.
At its core, the opportunity seeks projects that increase womens participation in local government bodies and expand the active involvement of women in civil society organizations and politics. The activitys stated goal is to strengthen womens access to both economic and political leadership by creating multiple points of entry at the local and district levels. In practical terms, this suggests supporting women not only as voters or community participants, but as decision-makers and leaders who can shape local development priorities, contribute to governance processes, and play visible roles in civic and political structures. Proposals would be expected to show how they will reduce barriers that keep women from participating fully, such as limited access to leadership networks, constraints on time and mobility, lack of information about governance processes, or social norms that discourage women from public roles.
This opportunity was issued as a discretionary cooperative agreement, which generally implies substantial involvement by the funding agency during implementation, such as collaboration on technical direction, monitoring, and coordination with other USAID-supported activities. The funding opportunity number is 636-13-000001, and it is listed under the funding activity category of Employment, Labor and Training. The program planned a single award with an estimated total funding amount of $3,600,000, and both the award ceiling and floor were $3,600,000, indicating USAID anticipated funding one project at that fixed level. Cost sharing or matching was required, so applicants were expected to contribute resources (cash or in-kind, depending on the specific terms) alongside USAID funds.
Eligibility was described as unrestricted, meaning it was broadly open to different types of entities, subject to any additional eligibility language in the full announcement. The CFDA number associated with the opportunity is 98.001, USAID Foreign Assistance for Programs Overseas. The announcement was posted on July 3, 2013, created on August 7, 2013, and the closing date was extended from August 2, 2013 to August 16, 2013 at 2:00 P.M. Guinea local time. Questions for clarification had to be submitted by email no later than July 29, 2013 at 2:00 P.M. Guinea local time. The opportunity was archived on September 1, 2013.
