To Interested Applicants:
The purpose of this Annual Program Statement (APS) is to solicit concept for funding. DAI through the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) is seeking concept papers first and then full applications from prospective partners to implement RASS activities that create Resilience through Agriculture in South Sudan as a whole. These activities will contribute to RASS objectives, as described in this APS. The geographic focus under consideration is Akobo East, Budi, Kapoeta North, Wau, Jur River, Panyijar, Baliet, Duk , Rumbek, Wulu, Yambio, Nzara and Pibor counties of South Sudan.
DAI on behalf of USAID anticipates awarding grants to fund successful applications submitted in response to this APS. All concept papers for review in the first round of evaluations are due by the date indicated at the top of this page. It is likely that all the available funds for this APS may be allocated to awards resulting from the first round of evaluations. At the discretion of DAI, applications received after the first round of evaluations may be considered on a rolling basis or as part of another round of evaluations.
The length of the proposed programs should not exceed nine (9) months duration. The total amount of funding currently available for this APS is approximately $ 300,000, for a period of up to nine months. DAI may choose to fully fund or incrementally fund the selected application(s). The number of awards and amount of available funding is subject to change and DAI reserves the right to make no awards because of this APS.
This APS is seeking applicants to propose creative and effective approaches to implement RASS’s objectives as outlined in the Overview section of this APS. Applicants may choose among a range of initiatives or scale up small projects that have demonstrated success. Awardees will be both monitored and evaluated throughout the duration of the implementation of the grant.
Applications outside the geographic focus areas will not be considered. Applicants must demonstrate success in managing cultural and political considerations in the proposed focus areas as well as success in addressing DAI’s development objectives.
