Opportunity Information: Apply for FY23 72066723APS00001
USAID (Mission in Sudan, USAID-Khartoum) is offering a discretionary funding opportunity called the "Support for Locally-led Development Approaches Annual Program Statement (APS)" (Opportunity Number FY23 72066723APS00001). The APS is structured as an umbrella solicitation that USAID will use over time to invite organizations to submit concept papers, and then, for those concepts that align with USAID priorities, request full applications and ultimately make awards. In practical terms, this APS is not a single one-time project competition; it is a standing announcement where the specific topics, instructions, and deadlines will be issued later through addenda posted as amendments to the APS.
The overall focus is on locally led development approaches in Sudan, with three broad result areas highlighted. First, USAID is seeking work that increases access to comprehensive health services and delivers high-impact interventions aimed at reducing the main drivers of maternal and newborn illness and death. Second, the APS also targets efforts to build climate-resilient food systems, reflecting the need to help communities and producers adapt to climate shocks and stressors that undermine food security and livelihoods. Third, it emphasizes strengthening the capacity of local organizations so they can plan, manage, and implement development activities that communities value and that can be sustained over time. Across these areas, the intent is to support outcomes that are locally owned, locally prioritized, and institutionally durable rather than dependent on external management.
USAID expects to fund activities through assistance instruments, specifically cooperative agreements, grants, and potentially other assistance mechanisms as appropriate. The funding activity categories listed are Agriculture, Health, and Other (with additional clarification expected in the APS text or future addenda). The CFDA/Assistance Listing number associated with this opportunity is 98.001. USAID anticipates making around four awards under this APS, with an award ceiling listed at up to $30,000,000 (typically indicating the maximum possible amount for an individual award or for awards under the APS, depending on how addenda define budgets and scopes).
Eligibility is listed as unrestricted, meaning a wide range of entity types may apply (for example, local and international organizations, NGOs, for-profits, universities, and others), though applicants must still follow any eligibility clarifications that may appear in the APS itself or in the addenda. Because USAID will release addenda over time, key details that applicants normally look for in a standard solicitation, such as the deadline for questions, specific submission instructions, required formats, evaluation criteria, and final due dates, will be provided in those addenda rather than in the base APS notice.
In terms of timing, the opportunity was created on March 16, 2023, and shows an original closing date of March 15, 2024. With an APS, that "closing date" often functions as the end of the period during which USAID expects to issue addenda and accept submissions under those addenda, but the controlling dates for any given program area will be the deadlines stated in each addendum. The main takeaway for prospective applicants is that they should monitor amendments to the APS for addenda, since those documents will contain the actionable requirements for submitting a concept paper and, if invited, a full application for USAID funding.Apply for FY23 72066723APS00001
