Description
1) Objective
The Zambia LCAI APS is an initiative to encourage new and innovative ideas, as well as new partnerships to create sustained, measurable improvements in development outcomes. USAID/Zambia is looking for innovative and creative ideas and, through the Zambia LCAI APS, is open to considering a wide range of approaches to achieve its development objectives.
The Zambia LCAI APS seeks to expand USAID’s direct relationship with new, grassroots, community-based, and/or private sector organizations to support climate smart innovations. Emphasis will be placed on locally led, locally developed, innovative, risk-embracing concepts that engage the private sector and communities in climate-friendly economic growth.
In alignment with Objective 2 of the strategy, awards under this APS will work toward the goal of expanding USAID’s direct relationship with new, grassroots, community-based, and/or private sector organizations to support climate smart innovations. How this goal is achieved is up to the applicant. However, USAID is focusing on the below specific aspects of applications:
– Climate Focus
– Gender-Sensitive Approaches – Cost-Sharing
– Risk
2) Eligibility
USAID welcomes local entities that have received less than $250,000 of USAID assistance in the past 5 years (this also includes entities that have not received any USAID assistance in the past 5 years).
3) Location
Actions must take place in Zambia.
4) Budget
The total amount of funding to be awarded under this APS will depend on the variety and quality of the proposals USAID/Zambia receives, but is estimated at approximately US Dollars (USD) $250,000. USAID/Zambia intends to award up to 10 Fixed Amount Awards. Individual awards are not expected to exceed $50,000, though this is not a hard ceiling and the Mission is open to innovative ideas that may require more funding. Grantees will have up to one year to implement the award and demonstrate success.
5) Application
All applications must be submitted on or before 3 May 2024.
