OpportunityTitle: SUPPORTING LOCALLY LED DEVELOPMENT THROUGH MARKET-BASED SOLUTIONS IN THE PHILIPPINES
Description: NOTE: USAID/Philippines will be holding a virtual pre-proposal conference on May 28, 2020 at 11 a.m. Philippine Time via Google Hangouts Meet to expand outreach for these opportunities and forthcoming solicitations. You can join through the following link: https://meet.google.com/ixt-zzsf-qpe . A pre-proposal conference is an event held by a USAID Mission to exchange information with industry and other stakeholders, especially interested applicants, about current or future procurements. We will also post information from the pre-proposal conference on grants.gov for those who are unable to participate. This addendum seeks to contribute to USAID&#8217;s Journey to Self-Reliance, in which the Agency seeks to &#8220;empower host country governments and our partners to achieve locally-sustained results, helping countries mobilize public and private revenues, strengthening local capacities, and accelerating enterprise-driven development.&#8221; This addendum implements the U.S. Congressionally directed Local Works program, which works with local actors to advance locally led approaches to development issues. It also operationalizes the Agency&#8217;s Private Sector Engagement Policy, which emphasizes enterprise-driven development by using market-based solutions to address development challenges. Subject to funding availability, USAID/Philippines intends to provide a maximum of $4 million in total USAID funding over a two-to-three-year period. USAID anticipates awarding multiple Cooperative Agreements, Fixed Amount Awards, or Simplified Grants pursuant to this addendum, with each award having a ceiling of $1 million and a maximum activity duration of two (2) years. USAID reserves the right to fund any or none of the applications submitted.
