Opportunity Information: Apply for 72066321RFA00001
USAID/Ethiopia is soliciting concept notes for the Integrated Youth Activity (IYA), a cross-sector youth empowerment effort issued as an addendum under the YouthPower 2 (YP2) Annual Program Statement (APS) No. 7200AA20APS00007. The opportunity is designed to fund an integrated and holistic package of support that intentionally links basic education, higher education, and family planning resources so that young people can drive their own social, economic, and civic development. In parallel, the activity aims to strengthen the ability of key Ethiopian institutions and service providers to deliver better, more coordinated opportunities for youth, including higher education institutions, youth-serving organizations, and health and financial service providers.
The primary target population is youth ages 15 to 29, with programming concentrated in Addis Ababa and an additional 10 to 15 strategically selected secondary cities. The emphasis on multiple urban centers signals an intent to address youth needs where schooling, employment pathways, services, and civic engagement opportunities often intersect, and where scalable models can be demonstrated and then expanded.
The anticipated award structure is a cooperative agreement, meaning USAID expects an ongoing and substantial level of engagement in shaping or implementing the work rather than operating strictly at arm's length. Funding is subject to availability, and USAID indicates it expects to make up to one award with a ceiling of up to $60 million over a five-year period. At the same time, USAID explicitly retains the discretion to fund more or fewer awards than projected, or to make no awards at all, depending on funding availability and the quality and fit of submissions.
Applicants are instructed to build their concept notes around an expected funding mix across the activity: approximately 40 percent for basic education, 30 percent for family planning, and 30 percent for higher education. This split is presented as the planned source distribution for the overall IYA budget, and applicants should align proposed designs and resource allocations accordingly. Submissions are also expected to clearly identify any cost share and/or leveraged resources from other sources that would strengthen or extend results beyond what USAID funds alone can achieve.
Administratively, the opportunity is listed as discretionary, with an unrestricted eligible applicant pool, and falls under an education activity category (CFDA 98.001). The funding opportunity number is 72066321RFA00001, issued by USAID in Addis Ababa. The original closing date for submissions was December 28, 2020, and applicants are directed to consult the Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) for the full set of requirements, evaluation criteria, and submission instructions.Apply for 72066321RFA00001
