Opportunity Information: Apply for 7200AA20APS00014
The Women’s Global Development and Prosperity (W-GDP) Fund Addendum, issued by the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) under the Conflict Prevention and Recovery Program Annual Program Statement (CPRP APS No. 7200AA20APS00012), is a targeted funding opportunity meant to advance women’s economic empowerment in contexts affected by conflict and recovery. Rather than functioning as a traditional Request for Applications (RFA), this addendum requests Concept Notes that propose practical, results-driven activities supporting women’s ability to earn income, rebuild stability, and participate safely in local economies during and after crises. A central emphasis is placed on reaching at-risk and marginalized women, including survivors of human trafficking, and ensuring proposed interventions connect directly to both CPRP conflict prevention and recovery results and W-GDP initiative goals.
In terms of what USAID is looking to fund, the addendum highlights recovery-oriented economic programming that can help women regain or strengthen their livelihoods. Examples named in the opportunity include rebuilding livelihoods and income sources, workforce development and vocational training, job placement support, workplace safety improvements, access to capital, and the use of innovative financial tools. The overall intent is to support women not only with skills or short-term assistance, but with pathways that can realistically lead to safer employment, entrepreneurship, and longer-term economic resilience in fragile environments.
A defining feature of this opportunity is its alignment with USAID’s New Partnerships Initiative (NPI). USAID signals a clear preference for Concept Notes that expand the agency’s partner base by engaging “new and under-utilized” development partners, meaning organizations that historically may not have worked with USAID or lacked the scale to manage large USAID awards. The rationale is that bringing in a broader and more diverse set of partners can introduce new ideas, approaches, networks, and community connections that improve outcomes in conflict-affected settings. Eligible applicants are listed as “unrestricted,” reinforcing the openness to a wide range of potential partners, consistent with NPI objectives.
Administratively, the opportunity is identified as Funding Opportunity Number 7200AA20APS00014, categorized as “Other” for both the opportunity and funding instrument type, with a CFDA number of 98.001. USAID anticipated making up to three awards, with an award ceiling of $10,000,000. Concept Notes were due May 6, 2020 at 12:00 PM EDT, and submissions were expected to clearly demonstrate an explicit and direct link to the CPRP APS results framework, the W-GDP initiative, and the specific programmatic results described in the addendum. In practice, that means proposals needed to do more than describe worthwhile women’s economic programming; they needed to show how the activities would contribute to conflict prevention and recovery objectives while measurably improving economic opportunity and safety for vulnerable women.Apply for 7200AA20APS00014
