Description
1) Objective
The USAID/Egypt Private Sector Collaboration Pathway (PSCP) Annual Program Statement (APS) seeks to foster private sector partnerships that align with USAID/Egypt’s Development Objectives (DOs) as outlined in the Egypt Country Development Cooperation Strategy (CDCS) for 2020-2025. This initiative provides a structured mechanism for USAID/Egypt to solicit and review concept papers from private sector entities interested in collaboration.
The APS emphasizes a phased co-creation process, allowing for initial interest exploration, concept submission, and subsequent detailed co-creation towards a potential funded award. This approach aims to leverage private sector resources and expertise to achieve sustainable development outcomes in various sectors such as agriculture, business, community development, education, health, and more.
2) Eligibility
Eligible applicants include a range of private sector entities: for-profit commercial entities (businesses, corporations, SMEs), private foundations affiliated with commercial entities, financial institutions (banks, investment firms, mutual funds, private equity funds, pension funds, insurance companies), business or industry associations (chambers of commerce), and cooperatives. Non-profit organizations, with the exception of business and industry associations and cooperatives, are not eligible to meet the private sector partnering requirement. Government-owned companies and individuals are also ineligible.
3) Location
Actions must take place in Egypt.
4) Budget
The grant size is not mentioned.
5) Application
The application process involves a phased approach starting with the submission of concept papers during specific windows: June 1 – August 31, 2024, October 1 – December 31, 2024, and February 1 – April 30, 2025. Each submission window is followed by a one-month review period. The concept papers should outline the proposed collaboration and partnership with the private sector. Successful concepts will proceed to a detailed co-creation phase with USAID/Egypt, ultimately leading to a potentially funded award. Concept papers can be submitted once the APS Addendum is issued, and detailed guidance will be available in the APS documentation.
