Section 674 of the FY2008 Consolidated Appropriations Act (P.L. 110-161) authorizes the DGP, which was continued via subsequent appropriations legislation, including Section 7061 of the FY2010 Consolidated Appropriations Act which provides current funding for the program, as carried forward by Further Continuing Appropriations Amendments, 2011.

The Development Grants Program (DGP) will support the following three sectors:

microenterprise, water, and climate change adaptation. Applications should consider thealignment of projects with Agency priorities and initiatives, specifically Feed the Future, Global Climate Change, and Global Health, utilizing new partners and working in underserved communities. Please refer to the Funding Opportunity for a complete statement of goals, expected results, and criteria for selection of successful concept papers
and full applications.

Subject to the availability of funds, USAID intends to provide up to $54 million in total USAIDfunding via grants and cooperative agreements in amounts up to but not exceeding $2 million. A substantial portion of the total funding will support activities in the Water sector,with a strong emphasis on those which address water supply, sanitation and hygiene. A portion of this total must be obligated in FY2011. Obligations should be expended within five years of the date an agreement is signed unless a participating Mission allows for a period of performance greater than five years. Participating Missions may choose to set award ceilings lower than the $2 million maximum. Attachment 01 lists all such Mission-specific requirements. USAID reserves the right to fund any or none of the applications submitted.

Applications received after the deadline will not be considered unless the reason for delayedsubmission is deemed justified or it is in the interest of the Agency to waive this requirement.

With the exception of U.S.PVO registration with USAID (a complete application for which must have been received by USAID by the concept paper deadline), all other requirements of eligibility of this RFA must be met by this date.
