APS-OAA-21-00001 Addendum USAID/Haiti | 72052122APS00002

Opportunity Information: Apply for 72052122APS00002

This opportunity is a USAID/Haiti addendum to APS-OAA-21-00001 that solicits diaspora partnership concepts focused on accelerating recovery and reconstruction in earthquake-affected areas of Haiti's Southern Peninsula. It is framed as a call to leverage private resources and know-how, meaning USAID is looking for proposals where Haitian diaspora actors work alongside private sector partners to bring financing, technical expertise, market connections, and operational capacity into the recovery effort, rather than relying only on traditional donor-funded implementation. The addendum sits under a broader Global Development Alliance (GDA) Annual Program Statement structure, which typically emphasizes shared value, co-investment, and collaboration across sectors.

The opportunity is administered by USAID's Mission in Port-au-Prince (AgencyName: Haiti USAID-Port Au Prince) and is listed as a discretionary grant competition (FundingInstrumentType: Grant). The eligible applicant field is shown as "Unrestricted," but the notice makes clear that eligibility rules are detailed in Section II of the addendum and Section VIII of the parent GDA APS, so applicants are expected to verify their organizational fit against those governing sections. In practice, the "diaspora partnership" framing signals that USAID is specifically encouraging concepts that meaningfully involve Haitian diaspora organizations, networks, or leaders and connect them to credible private sector partners capable of contributing resources beyond USAID funding.

The program scope is intentionally broad and multi-sector. The activity categories tied to this addendum include agriculture, business and commerce, community development, disaster prevention and relief, employment and workforce development, health, housing, legal services, and regional development. That breadth reflects the reality of post-earthquake reconstruction, where housing and infrastructure needs overlap with livelihood restoration, local enterprise recovery, public health, social services, and community stabilization. A competitive concept under this call would typically show how private sector participation strengthens results in one or more of these sectors, such as restoring supply chains, rebuilding housing with improved standards, expanding access to services, creating jobs, or improving local resilience to future shocks.

A central feature of this call is the GDA-style co-creation approach. Co-creation requirements are referenced in Section IV of the parent GDA APS, and the addendum highlights an important procedural expectation: applicants must hold preliminary discussions with their private sector partner or partners before submitting a concept. That detail matters because USAID is not looking for speculative partnerships or letters of intent assembled at the last minute. Instead, it is signaling that concepts should be grounded in real alignment and early joint planning, with credible commitments, clear roles, and a practical understanding of how the partnership will operate and what each party will contribute.

In terms of funding, the notice lists an award ceiling of $1,250,000 and anticipates up to five awards. This suggests USAID expects multiple partnership concepts to be supported, likely with varied sector focus, geographic coverage within the Southern Peninsula, or different partnership models. The CFDA number is 98.001, which is associated with USAID foreign assistance. The opportunity was created on 2021-12-13 and carried an original closing date of 2023-03-31, indicating it was open for concept submissions over an extended period consistent with APS mechanisms that accept concepts until a stated deadline or until funding is committed.

Overall, the addendum is best understood as an invitation for Haitian diaspora-connected entities to propose partnership-driven recovery solutions that mobilize private capital, expertise, and operational capacity for reconstruction and revitalization in the Southern Peninsula. The most responsive concepts would clearly define the earthquake recovery problem being addressed, demonstrate strong private sector engagement and contributions, align with GDA co-creation expectations, and show a realistic pathway to impact that goes beyond what grant funding alone could accomplish.
