The U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), through its Bureau for Development, Democracy and Innovation (DDI) Local, Faith, and Transformative Partnerships (LFT) Hub, is soliciting concept papers from new and existing Cooperative Development Program (CDP) partners. The CDP is a mechanism for USAID to maximize development impact and efficient resource use by mobilizing the creative capacity of Cooperative Development Organizations (CDOs). Eligible applicants include U.S. cooperatives or organizations with substantial membership or financial links to U.S. cooperatives, with a track record of at least five years in overseas cooperative development. Concept papers are due by February 17, 2023 and should address at least one program objective, such as strengthening cooperative capacity, improving the enabling environment, or applying project learnings.
Awards for this program, which operates under CFDA #98.002, will range from 12-60 months and are intended to support a variety of creative approaches towards the design and implementation of activities addressing USAID Operating Units' development objectives worldwide. The program aims to enhance the impact of CDOs through peer-to-peer learning, community building, and innovative solutions.
