Opportunity Summary:
The Women s Leadership Civic Leadership and Journalism APS is a USAID grant opportunity designed to strengthen women s leadership by expanding their ability to participate in civic and political life and by amplifying women s voices through media and journalism. The core idea is to support practical, on the ground activities that help women engage more effectively in the leadership of their countries, while also generating usable knowledge, approaches, and tools that make it easier for USAID Missions and broader USG programming to integrate gender considerations across development, humanitarian, and transition assistance. In other words, it is both an implementation opportunity (supporting real programs that build capacity and visibility) and a learning and integration opportunity (producing methods and evidence that improve how gender is addressed across a wider portfolio of work).
The award is offered under an Annual Program Statement (APS) and will be issued as a Cooperative Agreement, which typically means USAID expects substantial involvement during implementation, such as collaboration on program direction, learning products, or coordination with other Mission priorities. The opportunity is categorized as an earmark and sits under the funding activity label "Other," clarified as Women s Leadership Civic Leadership and Journalism. USAID anticipates making one award with an estimated total funding amount of 700,000, and the award ceiling is also 700,000, indicating a single grant up to that amount rather than multiple smaller awards.
Eligible applicants include registered U.S. and non U.S. organizations, including nongovernmental organizations, nonprofit entities, and for profit organizations as long as they are willing to forego profit. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, which lowers the barrier for organizations that may not have significant unrestricted funds to contribute. The CFDA number is 98.001, which corresponds to USAID foreign assistance for overseas programs, reinforcing that the work is intended for international contexts rather than domestic U.S. programming.
Timing wise, the announcement was posted on July 7, 2010, and specifies that the first round deadline for application reviews is August 4, 2010 (listed as both the original and current closing date for that review round). The listing indicates the opportunity was archived on July 7, 2011. The notice also states that Amendment No. 1 has been posted and Amendment No. 2 has been published, signaling that USAID updated the opportunity after initial release; in practice, amendments often clarify requirements, adjust instructions, or modify technical or administrative details, so applicants would need to rely on the amended versions when preparing submissions.
For access issues or administrative questions, the listed point of contact is Norman James, Contract Specialist, reachable by phone at 202 712 5545.
