Opportunity Information: Apply for ADDENDUM TO NPICPRP DRC
This opportunity is a special addendum under USAID's New Partnerships Initiative (NPI) within the Conflict Prevention and Recovery Program (CPRP) Annual Program Statement (APS) No. 7200AA19APS00012. The addendum makes a targeted call for concept notes that focus specifically on advancing the rights of Indigenous Peoples living in conflict-affected areas of eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC). In practical terms, USAID is signaling that it wants partners to propose approaches that protect and strengthen Indigenous Peoples' rights in a setting shaped by insecurity, displacement, armed group activity, and persistent local conflicts, where Indigenous communities are often among the most marginalized and at risk.
A key feature of the addendum is that it is not a standalone solicitation; it sits on top of the main APS and depends on it. Organizations are expected to read and follow both documents, because the APS contains the core rules, application instructions, selection process, compliance requirements, and other important details that may not be repeated in the addendum. The addendum functions as a thematic emphasis within the broader CPRP APS, essentially carving out attention and resources for Indigenous Peoples' rights work while still using the APS framework, terminology, and procedural requirements. The opportunity is hosted on Grants.gov under the APS link provided, and applicants are expected to consult any amendments associated with that APS as well.
The mechanism for funding is a cooperative agreement, which generally means USAID anticipates substantial engagement during implementation rather than a purely hands-off grant. The total potential funding amount referenced by the ceiling is up to $8,000,000, and USAID anticipates making about three awards, indicating a competitive process with a small number of funded partners and relatively sizable activities per award depending on final award structure. The funding activity category is listed as "Other," with clarification expected in the full APS text, and the CFDA (assistance listing) number is 98.001, which is commonly associated with USAID foreign assistance.
Eligibility is described as unrestricted, meaning the call is open to a wide range of entity types, subject to any additional eligibility conditions or clarifications contained in the APS and addendum text. The addendum also highlights a partner diversification objective: it is explicitly intended to broaden and diversify USAID's partner base, consistent with the New Partnerships Initiative approach. That typically points to USAID interest in receiving concept notes from a wider mix of organizations, including newer or less traditional USAID implementers, and potentially local or nontraditional partners, as long as they can meet USAID requirements and demonstrate the capacity to manage and deliver the proposed work.
In terms of timing, the opportunity was created May 27, 2020, with an original closing date of July 14, 2020. Questions were due by July 14, 2020 as well, suggesting the solicitation used that date as a key deadline for both inquiries and submissions, though applicants would need to verify in the APS and any amendments whether the deadline was later modified. The listing identifies the agency as the Agency for International Development, with "USAID-San Salvador" shown in the metadata, while the program focus and implementing mission referenced in the narrative is USAID/DRC, so applicants would rely on the APS posting and official addendum text for the authoritative point of contact and submission instructions.
Overall, the opportunity is best understood as a focused request for concept notes that propose conflict-sensitive, rights-advancing interventions for Indigenous Peoples in eastern DRC, using the established CPRP APS structure. The headline priorities are (1) advancing Indigenous Peoples' rights in a conflict environment and (2) expanding the range of organizations USAID works with through the NPI approach, with funding provided through cooperative agreements and an expectation of a small number of awards under a relatively high total ceiling.Apply for ADDENDUM TO NPICPRP DRC
