Partner Eligibility Criteria
under USAID’s FY2010 Annual Program Statement
This Annual Program Statement focuses on establishing public-private alliances to define a need and its solution, and to combine resources to achieve far-reaching, mutually agreed upon results. The following list of potential partners is for illustrative purposes because our eligibility criteria are wide. We welcome other new types of partners. Potential partners include foundations, U.S. and non-U.S. NGOs, faith-based organizations, U.S. and non-U.S. private businesses, business and trade associations, international organizations, U.S. and non-U.S. colleges and universities, U.S. cities and states, other U.S. Government agencies, civic groups, Diaspora groups, other donor governments, host country governments, regional organizations, host country parastatals, philanthropic leaders including venture capitalists, public figures, advocacy groups, pension funds and employee-welfare plans, etc.
It is important to note that NGOs do not need to be registered Private Voluntary Organizations to submit an application. Potential for-profit applicants should note that USAID policy prohibits the payment of fee/profit to the prime recipient under assistance instruments. Forgone profit does not qualify as cost-sharing or leveraging.
In addition, all prospective partners must be organizations with a reputation for integrity and the highest standard of conduct, and a proven track record in their particular areas of expertise. They should be able to demonstrate a respect for human rights, gender sensitivity, integration of people with disabilities and other vulnerable groups, decent work conditions, environmental protection, and community involvement in their operational practices. They should also be able to provide evidence of a strong commitment to the proposed alliance and, ideally, experience in working in partnership with others.
Past applicants are welcome to apply. Alliance partners that were funded under previous public private alliance APS’s and RFA’s are also eligible to apply.
