Opportunity Information: Apply for 7200AA19APS00007 ADDENDUM6 PHILIPPINES
The grant opportunity titled "Supporting Locally Led Development Through Market-Based Solutions in the Philippines" is a USAID/Philippines funding addendum designed to advance development work that is led by local actors and strengthened through private sector and market-driven approaches. It is positioned as part of USAID's broader Journey to Self-Reliance agenda, which focuses on helping partner countries achieve lasting results that can be sustained locally over time. In practical terms, the opportunity is meant to support efforts that build local capacity, encourage countries and communities to mobilize their own public and private resources, and speed up development progress by working through enterprises, markets, and locally owned systems rather than relying only on externally driven programs.
This addendum also directly supports the U.S. Congressionally directed Local Works program. Local Works is centered on working with local organizations and institutions to identify and address development challenges using approaches that reflect local priorities, knowledge, and leadership. Alongside that, the opportunity operationalizes USAID's Private Sector Engagement Policy, meaning applicants are expected to think beyond traditional grantmaking and incorporate market-based solutions. That could include partnering with businesses, shaping incentives within local markets, expanding access to finance, improving value chains, or other approaches where the private sector and local economic systems play a major role in sustaining outcomes after USAID support ends.
Funding is subject to availability, but USAID/Philippines indicates an intent to provide up to USD 4 million total across the addendum over a two-to-three-year period. Rather than issuing one large award, USAID expects to make multiple awards under this addendum. The anticipated number of awards is four, and each individual award is capped at USD 1 million. While the overall addendum spans a multi-year window, each supported activity is expected to have a maximum duration of two years, reinforcing the idea that projects should be focused, feasible, and structured to achieve measurable progress within a relatively short implementation period.
The primary funding instrument type listed is a Cooperative Agreement, which generally means USAID expects a higher level of involvement in the program compared with a standard grant, such as collaboration on implementation approaches, monitoring, or adaptive management. At the same time, USAID notes it may also use other award forms under the addendum, including Fixed Amount Awards or Simplified Grants. This mix suggests flexibility in how USAID structures agreements depending on the nature of the proposed activity, its complexity, and the capacity of the implementing partner.
Eligibility is described as unrestricted, meaning the opportunity is open to any type of entity as long as it meets the requirements and any clarifications contained in the official eligibility language. The opportunity is classified under regional development (CFDA 98.001) and is administered by the Agency for International Development (USAID). The posting reflects a multi-round application process, with three rounds in total and a final closing date of February 28, 2021. Finally, USAID clearly states it reserves the right to fund any or none of the applications submitted, which is standard language indicating that awards are competitive and dependent on both application quality and funding availability.Apply for 7200AA19APS00007 ADDENDUM6 PHILIPPINES
