Opportunity Information: Apply for 72027821APS00001
APS-OAA-21-00001 Addendum Jordan (Funding Opportunity No. 72027821APS00001) is a USAID/Jordan special call issued as an addendum to the broader 2020-2022 Global Development Alliance (GDA) Annual Program Statement. The addendum is designed to attract concept notes for new public-private partnerships that directly support USAID/Jordan's Country Development Cooperation Strategy (CDCS) for 2020-2025. In practical terms, USAID is looking for partnerships where the Agency's development goals and a private sector partner's commercial or institutional interests overlap enough to produce shared value, measurable development outcomes, and sustainable results beyond donor funding.
The central aim of this addendum is to encourage and streamline collaboration specifically with Jordanian private sector firms and to clarify the criteria USAID/Jordan will use when deciding whether and how to partner. Rather than being a traditional grant program focused solely on implementing activities with donor funds, this is framed as a Global Development Alliance, meaning USAID expects a true partnership model that mobilizes private sector resources, expertise, networks, and innovation alongside USAID support. Concepts are expected to show how the partnership structure itself adds value and improves the likelihood of long-term impact.
Proposed partnerships must clearly state which USAID/Jordan Development Objective (DO) or objectives they will advance, and concepts may address one or multiple objectives. The eligible objectives align with the CDCS 2020-2025 and include: DO1 Inclusive Private Sector-Led Growth; DO2 Strengthened Water Security; DO3 Strengthened Equitable, Democratic Governance; DO4 Accelerated Human Potential; and DO5 Enhanced Agency and Leadership of Women and Youth. USAID signals a clear preference for ideas that are innovative, cost-effective, and driven by private sector leadership, which typically means concepts that demonstrate market-based solutions, scalable business models, or strong incentives for the private partner to continue engagement after USAID involvement ends.
Eligibility is broadly open ("unrestricted") as long as the applicant fits the addendum's definition of private sector and meets any conditions described in the opportunity text. For this addendum, "private sector" is defined to include: (1) private for-profit commercial entities such as businesses, corporations, SMEs, or private firms; (2) private foundations affiliated with for-profit entities; (3) private equity and private financial institutions such as banks, investment firms, mutual funds, private equity funds, and insurance companies; (4) business and industry associations such as chambers of commerce; and (5) cooperatives. This broad definition is meant to widen the pool of potential partners, including firms that can contribute capital, technology, supply chain access, financial products, or sector coordination capacity.
From an award and administrative standpoint, the opportunity is categorized as discretionary and uses a cooperative agreement as the funding instrument, which generally indicates substantial involvement by USAID during implementation compared with a standard grant. The CFDA (Assistance Listing) number is 98.001. USAID/Jordan anticipated making up to five awards, with an award ceiling of $2,000,000 per award. The opportunity was posted March 7, 2021, with an original closing date of December 16, 2022. Applicants would typically be expected to submit a concept paper first under an APS process, with selected concepts then invited to develop fuller applications as USAID refines the partnership design and confirms the resource commitments and roles of each partner.
Overall, this addendum is best understood as a matchmaking and co-creation vehicle for development partnerships in Jordan: USAID is not simply seeking implementers, but private sector partners willing to bring their own assets to the table and collaborate on solutions tied to inclusive economic growth, water security, governance, human capital, and the leadership and agency of women and youth. Concepts that are explicit about the targeted DOs, show a credible partnership rationale, and demonstrate how private sector incentives and contributions drive sustainability would align most closely with the stated priorities.Apply for 72027821APS00001
