Opportunity Information: Apply for 72068524APS00003
USAID/Senegal's Sahel Regional Office (USAID/Senegal/SRO) has released Addendum #1 (Amendment #1) to its USAID Sahel Information Integrity Annual Program Statement (APS) No. 72068524APS00003. This addendum functions as a call for concept papers for an activity titled "Strengthening Information Integrity and Resilience (IIR) in the Sahel." It is issued under the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961, as amended, and applicants are expected to read both the addendum and the full APS on grants.gov because key requirements and details may only appear in the main APS rather than being repeated in the addendum.
The core purpose of the call is to identify a partner that can use a nimble, adaptive approach to support key actors across local and regional information ecosystems. In practice, USAID is looking for programming that helps these actors become more effective at advancing information integrity and strengthening resilience within the information environment. While the notice does not spell out the full technical approach in the excerpt, it makes clear that proposed concept papers must address all three objectives described in the APS technical focus, and that these objectives must be implemented in all required target countries.
Geographically, the activity is anchored in three countries that fall under USAID/Senegal/SRO management authority: Burkina Faso, Chad, and Mauritania. Applicants must cover all three objectives in all three of these countries. In addition, there is a regional component: Objective 2 (focused on strengthening regional networks) may also allow engagement with partner organizations in Cabo Verde, The Gambia, Guinea-Bissau, Mali, Niger, and Senegal, but only with prior USAID approval. This suggests the activity is designed to balance country-level interventions with selective regional network-building where it supports the broader Sahel information integrity agenda.
From a funding and award standpoint, this is a discretionary opportunity with an unrestricted eligibility category, meaning there is no limitation stated in the notice on what types of organizations may apply (though the APS itself may contain standard USAID eligibility and compliance conditions). The intended award instrument is a cooperative agreement, which typically indicates substantial involvement by USAID during implementation compared to a standard grant. Subject to funding availability, USAID anticipates making a single award with a ceiling of up to USD 15,000,000, while also reserving the right to make no awards at all.
The timeline is straightforward. The addendum and call for concept papers were issued June 28, 2024, and the closing date for submissions is August 2, 2024. USAID anticipates an award start date on or about December 1, 2024, and a period of performance of up to five years. Questions are directed to the listed points of contact: Ms. Aminata Diallo (amdiallo@usaid.gov) and Robert Almosd (ralmosd@usaid.gov). For full submission instructions, evaluation factors, and the detailed technical objectives, applicants are directed to consult the full APS and the addendum package posted on grants.gov under the "related documents" tab.Apply for 72068524APS00003
