Organizations eligible to apply under this NOFO include, but are not necessarily limited to, U.S. and non-US non-profit or for profit non-governmental organizations (NGOs), private voluntary organizations, foundations, colleges and universities, civic groups, faith-based and community institutions, philanthropic organizations, and advocacy groups. For profit applicants should note that USAID policy prohibits the payment of fee/profit to the prime recipient under grants and cooperative agreements.
Applicants must have established financial management, monitoring and evaluation processes, internal control systems, and policies and procedures that comply with established U.S. Government Standards, laws, and regulations.
USAID will perform a risk assessment to determine the responsibility of Applicants considered for award. USAID may determine that a pre-award survey is required to conduct an examination that will serve as the basis for determining whether the prospective recipient had the necessary organization, experience, accounting and operational controls, financial resources, and technical skills – or the ability to obtain them – in order to achieve the program objectives and to comply with the terms and conditions of the award. Depending on the results of the risk assessment, USAID will determine to execute the award, not execute the award, or to award with “specific conditions”.
USAID Welcomes applications from organizations that have not previously received financial assistance from USAID.
