Opportunity Information: Apply for 720BHA21APS00001
USAID's Bureau for Humanitarian Assistance (BHA) is inviting applications under its Global Annual Program Statement (APS) for Humanitarian Capacity and System Strengthening. The purpose of this opportunity is to fund programs that make humanitarian response work better at a system level, not just in a single emergency. In practical terms, BHA is looking for activities that strengthen the overall humanitarian architecture by improving policies, practices, coordination, standards, and the technical approaches used across the sector. The focus is on work that can influence how humanitarian actors operate globally or across multiple contexts, with results that can be shared and adopted widely.
The programming emphasis is on improving humanitarian response through several connected avenues: stronger coordination among key stakeholders; technical and policy engagement with global actors who shape humanitarian norms and practice; more innovative and effective ways of delivering and financing humanitarian assistance; and tackling thematic and operational challenges that affect the quality and effectiveness of aid reaching crisis-affected populations. Another core element is building the capacity of humanitarian actors by creating or improving tools and methodologies that help the community understand key issues in crises, measure and analyze needs, and respond more effectively. BHA expects that successful applicants will actively collaborate with BHA and other relevant stakeholders and, where appropriate, make any new policies, tools, methodologies, or innovations broadly available to the wider humanitarian community rather than keeping products proprietary or limited to a single organization.
Applications under this APS are organized by objective, and for the first round BHA will only consider proposals that focus on one objective. Organizations that want to propose work under more than one objective are required to submit separate applications for each objective, rather than bundling multiple objectives into one submission. BHA also signals that, depending on funding availability, it plans to run more than one round of applications under this same APS over time. The agency may also amend the APS to increase available funding, add or revise program objectives, or open additional rounds; updates will be posted on the BHA website and on Grants.gov, where applicants can subscribe for notifications.
On award structure and size, BHA expects to make awards predominantly as cooperative agreements, which typically involve substantial involvement by the agency during implementation, though it reserves the right to use other types of assistance instruments if needed. For the first round, BHA anticipates individual awards with a ceiling of $3,000,000 total over a two-year period of performance, and applicants may request smaller amounts. The opportunity is listed as discretionary funding, with an eligible applicant category described as "unrestricted" in the source data, but there are explicit ineligible categories: BHA will not accept applications from or make awards to individuals, parastatal organizations, public international organizations such as UN agencies, or other US government departments and agencies.
Key administrative details from the listing include the Funding Opportunity Title "BHA Global APS for Humanitarian Capacity and System Strengthening" and Funding Opportunity Number 720BHA21APS00001. The agency is the US Agency for International Development (USAID), with the relevant assistance listing under CFDA number 98.001. The posting notes that BHA compiled and addressed questions received about the APS in an attached response document and revised the APS accordingly, without issuing individual responses to comments. The opportunity is shown with an original closing date of 2030-12-31, reflecting its structure as an ongoing APS with potential multiple rounds and amendments rather than a single one-time deadline.Apply for 720BHA21APS00001
