The U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) awarded a $21,892,952 Cooperative Agreement under the USAID Foreign Assistance for Programs Overseas (CFDA 98.001) program to The Regents of the University of California, doing business as University of California, Berkeley. The objective of this award is to support the recipient in addressing multiple gaps within USAID as well as in the broader evidence ecosystem.
Under this Cooperative Agreement, UC Berkeley will lead a multi-faceted initiative with two key sub-awardees - the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and Innovations for Poverty Action (IPA). The initial scope of work includes activities such as conducting in-person planning meetings, submitting draft year 1 work plans and budgets, and reviewing systems/process documentation. Once USAID approves the full work plan, UC Berkeley will amend the sub-awards with MIT and IPA to align their scopes of work. This federal grant program aims to advance U.S. foreign policy objectives by addressing complex development challenges in regions across Africa, Asia, Latin America, and the Middle East.
