Contd from previous page about USAID’s Development Grants Program
“The purpose of the DGP is to create new partnership opportunities with USAID for LNGOs and U.S. PVOs that have had limited or no prior funding from and experience working directly with USAID. A key assumption of the DGP is that by expanding USAID’s NGO network of development partners and providing capacity building support to the new partners through other supporting initiatives and mechanisms, USAID will be enabling a wider range of partners to better meet their beneficiaries’ needs and contribute to development outcomes. Increased U.S.PVO and LNGO capacity will benefit organizational and programmatic sustainability.
The objectives of the DGP as presented in this Request for Applications are:
- Broadened participation in USAID programs of LNGOs and U.S. PVOs with experience and expertise relevant to priority USAID and partner country development objectives;
- Expanded numbers of LNGOs and U.S. PVOs with planning, management and service delivery systems adequate to implement USAID-funded activities; and
- Measurable contributions to the achievement of the development objectives for participating USAID Missions’ country programs, in particular, as they pertain to pressing Agency priorities.”
Priorities
“The DGP supports Agency priorities in food security, health (through water and sanitation) and global climate change. Missions are addressing these priorities though programs in sectors such as economic growth, agriculture and dairy, water supply and sanitation and global climate change adaptation. The DGP also strengthens civil society to promote transparent and accountable governance.”
