USAID

USAID generally undertakes direct assistance programs to benefit developing countries through competitive procedures. This ensures that all activities are concentrated on pre-defined objectives to maximize impact, and that they are consistent, mutually reinforcing and draw support form the best available sources. Resources available to USAID for programs must be concentrated and focused on clear objectives that fit within program priorities.

USAID’s specific objectives are usually designed in collaboration with the cooperating country. These factors can limit both the need for and USAID’s ability to support unsolicted assistance applications. Thus, only exceptional unsolicited assistance applications can be considered for funding on a noncompetitive basis—ones which present a unique approach, are fully supportive of USAID’s development objectives and demonstrate a unique capacity by the applicant to carry out proposed activities and where there is clear support for such activities by the recipient country government or private institutions. Further, only limited funding may be available for even the best of such applications, since most funding is reserved for development priorities already established by USAID. Accordingly it is strongly recommended that potential applicants review USAID competitive announcements as well as specific USAID bureau open announcements.
