Description
1) Objective
Sustainable and locally driven ideas come from a diversity of organizations around the world. To ensure that these ideas have the opportunity to be considered, the Unsolicited Solutions for Locally Led Development (US4LLD) Program provides funding to enable USAID Missions to support unsolicited applications that advance locally led development in any sector. All concepts must demonstrate how they advance locally led development. Concepts must show how they include:
- Local input: Communities are involved in identifying the development challenge and designing a solution.
- Local leadership: Local actors are empowered to own and implement the process.
- Innovation: Activities go beyond and/or improve upon traditional development practices.
- Sustainability: Activity outcomes will be sustained over the long-term.
- Locally Informed Adaptation: There is a strategy for involving local communities in monitoring and learning, responding to potential challenges, and adapting as necessary.
- Local Capacity Strengthening (as relevant): The needs, goals, and methods of any planned capacity strengthening activities are directly informed by potential activity participants and local partners.
- Organizational Capacity Strengthening (optional, but encouraged): There are resources and a plan to strengthen the applicant organization’s own ability to better achieve its self-defined organizational goals.
2) Eligibility
Eligible applicants must: (1) have received less than $5 million from USAID directly over the previous five fiscal years and; (2) be a small local, international, or United States-based non-governmental organization, educational institution, or other small entity.
3) Location
Actions can take place worldwide except certain countries due to certain limits.
4) Budget
Grant amounts are  up to $2 million.
