Opportunity Information: Apply for 7200AA22RFA00022
The USAID "Global Fund for Women - Localization Activity" grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number 7200AA22RFA00022) is a discretionary funding announcement issued by the U.S. Agency for International Development through the Bureau for Development, Democracy, and Innovation, specifically the Office of Gender Equality and Women's Empowerment (DDI/GenDev). The program is framed as a multi-stage effort intended to support a localization-focused initiative connected to the Global Fund for Women, with an initial phase funded through a Fixed Amount Award (FAA) and a potential follow-on phase funded through a Cooperative Agreement. In practice, this structure signals that USAID is looking to start with a defined, milestone-based set of activities over a two-year period, and then, if results and conditions warrant, transition into a more collaborative, longer-term partnership model for up to an additional three years.
Funding levels are substantial. USAID anticipates providing up to $10 million for the initial two-year FAA portion of the program. After that, the agency indicates the possibility of up to $15 million for the subsequent Cooperative Agreement phase, which would extend the work for up to three more years. The listing identifies the award ceiling as $10 million, which aligns with the FAA phase described in the announcement and suggests the $15 million amount is contingent on the later cooperative agreement being pursued and funded. The total potential support across both phases could therefore reach as high as $25 million over as many as five years, although only the initial FAA appears to be firmly defined in the ceiling figure provided.
The opportunity is labeled as a grant (Funding Instrument Type: Grant) and categorized under a "Business and Commerce" activity category, with CFDA (now often referred to as Assistance Listing) number 98.001, which is broadly associated with USAID foreign assistance programs. The posting date (creation date) is August 5, 2022, and the original closing date for applications is September 6, 2022, indicating a relatively short application window typical of targeted, restricted competitions.
Eligibility is explicitly restricted to a single applicant: the Global Fund for Women. That means the solicitation is not open to other NGOs, universities, companies, or consortia as prime applicants. Any other organizations interested in the work would only be able to participate indirectly, for example as subrecipients, implementing partners, or vendors, if the Global Fund for Women chooses to involve them during implementation.
Overall, this opportunity is best understood as a USAID-backed localization initiative implemented through the Global Fund for Women, designed to begin with a two-year, milestone-driven FAA and potentially evolve into a three-year cooperative agreement with deeper USAID engagement, with funding levels that reflect a significant investment in gender equality and women's empowerment-related localization efforts.Apply for 7200AA22RFA00022
