About this opportunity

Paragraph 1:

This Federal Grant Opportunity, issued by the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) Mission in Guinea-Sierra Leone, is seeking private sector partnerships to address economic resilience and conflict prevention in the Kankan and N'Zerekore regions of Guinea. The program aims to leverage public-private collaborations in areas such as mining company transparency, agricultural value chain development, youth employment initiatives, cross-border economic programs, and infrastructure improvement. Key requirements include submitting concept papers by February 28, 2025, with questions due by January 17, 2025. Applicants will participate in a co-creation session to finalize the program description prior to award.

Paragraph 2:

The funding available for this five-year initiative ranges from $3.5 million to $17.5 million, with private sector partners required to provide in-cash and in-kind contributions, though no minimum amount is specified. The program will be implemented in two phases, starting with a 3-6 month refinement period focused on the Kankan region, followed by scaled implementation in both target regions. This opportunity falls under the USAID Foreign Assistance for Programs Overseas (CFDA 98.001) grant program.
