Opportunity Information: Apply for 72068523APS00001

USAID/Senegal issued a set of three related addenda (Addenda #15, #16, and #17) under its broader Locally Led Development (LLD) Annual Program Statement (APS) No. 7200AA19APS00007. Together, these addenda create a targeted, time-bound call for concept submissions from local actors in Senegal, with each addendum focused on a specific technical theme tied to USAID priorities. The overall purpose is to identify and fund locally led concepts that advance development outcomes in Senegal in areas that USAID has highlighted for special attention.

Addendum #15 is a special call for concepts centered on Feed the Future (FTF) Nutrition-Sensitive Agriculture in Senegal. This theme generally points to approaches that improve nutrition outcomes through agriculture and food systems, such as increasing access to diverse, safe, and nutrient-rich foods; supporting production and consumption of nutritious crops; improving food handling, storage, and food safety practices; and linking agriculture interventions more directly to household nutrition, especially for women and children. While the notice does not list specific interventions, the framing indicates USAID is looking for concepts where agricultural activities are intentionally designed to improve dietary quality and nutrition-related behaviors or outcomes rather than focusing only on yields or income.

Addendum #16 is a special call for concepts focused on Feed the Future (FTF) Positive Youth Development in Senegal. This theme signals interest in programs that strengthen young peoples ability to thrive economically and socially, often through workforce readiness, entrepreneurship, life skills, leadership development, and improved engagement with markets and community decision-making. The emphasis on positive youth development suggests concepts should treat youth not just as beneficiaries but as partners and drivers of change, with activities that build agency, skills, and supportive environments. In the Feed the Future context, this may connect youth development to agriculture, food systems, or rural economic opportunities, though the specific design requirements are contained in the APS and the addendum documents.

Addendum #17 is a special call for concepts addressing WASH Demand in Senegal, meaning demand-side factors related to water, sanitation, and hygiene. A demand focus typically involves increasing household and community uptake of WASH products and services, improving willingness to pay, shifting social norms, supporting behavior change for sustained hygiene practices, and strengthening consumer awareness and preferences so that WASH improvements continue beyond external support. It can also include market-shaping efforts that connect consumers to suppliers, financing options, or service delivery models that make WASH solutions easier to adopt and maintain. The key point is that these concepts should emphasize generating and sustaining demand, not only building infrastructure.

This opportunity is published as a discretionary funding opportunity by USAID/Senegal (USAID-Dakar) under Funding Opportunity Number 72068523APS00001. USAID anticipates making awards using either Cooperative Agreements or Grants, depending on the level of USAID involvement and the final award structure described in the APS. The maximum funding per award is listed with an award ceiling of USD 3,000,000, and USAID expects to make approximately 9 awards in total across these special calls. The CFDA/Assistance Listing number associated with the opportunity is 98.001, and the funding activity category is labeled as "Other," with clarification referenced in the full announcement.

Eligibility is presented broadly as "Others," with the precise eligibility requirements and definitions provided in the APS and the addenda. A central feature of the announcement is that it is explicitly a call to local actors, so organizations should expect that local entity considerations, local leadership, and local ownership will be important to responsiveness and competitiveness. Applicants are instructed to review both the relevant addendum (15, 16, or 17) and the full LLD APS announcement to understand submission rules, concept content expectations, evaluation approach, and any restrictions or compliance requirements.

Key dates include a creation date of April 6, 2023, and a concept submission deadline of May 15, 2023. Applicants are directed to the full opportunity posting on Grants.gov (linked in the notice) for the complete instructions and documentation. USAID also notes that the APS and these addenda have been translated into French and are available through the same Grants.gov posting; however, if any differences exist between the English and translated versions, the English version controls.
