About this program
USAID funds cooperative development organizations building capacity in agricultural, health, credit union, and youth cooperatives across sub-Saharan Africa, Latin America, and Asia through the Cooperative Development Program (CFDA 98.002), with the most recent grant awards made in October 2023.
The program funds three categories of cooperative development: strengthening cooperative organizational capacity, improving cooperative enabling environments, and applying project learning across the development community. Recent awards support building and strengthening agricultural cooperatives in Rwanda, Zambia, and Ghana; health cooperatives in Kenya; credit union associations in Kenya, Senegal, Burkina Faso, and Guatemala; and youth and worker cooperatives in Kenya and Guatemala. The program also funds evidence-building activities, such as the US Overseas Cooperative Development Council's work to establish a global evidence base for cooperative development. Award performance periods typically span four to five years.
USAID funds the program almost exclusively, with 60 awards totaling $462 million in federal dollars obligated from the primary USAID bureau, supplemented by smaller allocations from USAID's Bureau for Global Health ($194.9 million from one award), Bureau for Management ($65.5 million from 12 awards), and regional missions. The program portfolio comprises 81 total awards spanning from 1998 to October 2023, with $805.2 million in combined federal dollars obligated. Funding activity has been uneven over the past five years, ranging from 1 award in 2019 to 9 awards in 2023, with 2 to 7 awards awarded in intervening years.
Cooperative Agreements dominate the assistance-type mix at 90 percent of awards (73 awards), with Project Grants comprising the remaining 10 percent (8 awards). Award sizes in recent cohorts range from $1.7 million to $4.7 million for cooperative-development-focused activities, with several larger multi-year health-focused awards such as the $200.7 million Momentum Safe Surgery award from 2020.
An Annual Program Statement (APS 7200AA23APS00002) titled Cooperative Development Program remains open for concept papers from new and existing CDP partners, with the most recent amendment posted December 20, 2024, and a due date of January 20, 2026. USAID's Bureau for Development, Democracy and Innovation solicits creative approaches addressing USAID Operating Units' development objectives through cooperative principles and cooperative development organizations. Eligibility is restricted to "Other" applicant types as defined in the solicitation.
