Iraq Addendum to 7200AA19APS00012

Description

Through this Annual Program Statement (APS), entitled New Partnerships Initiative (NPI): Conflict Prevention & Recovery Program (CPRP), USAID announces its desire to engage new and underutilized partners to expand and amplify the Agency’s work, particularly in contexts at the risk of, or recovering from, violent conflict. The overall Agency NPI seeks to support partner countries’ progress on the Journey to self-Reliance, achieve sustainable and resilient results, and catalyze more effective partnering for impact. This APS is designed to specific Administration and Agency priorities and criteria for new and underutilized partners. Individual USAID Missions or Bureaus (also known together as Operating Units) will then request Concept Papers via Addenda as the first step in a three-step process that could result in USAID funding for an idea. Interested organizations should read this entire APS, as well as any Addenda, and follow the instructions for submitting a Concept Paper. Applicants should not submit Concept Papers in response to this umbrella APS, but only to Addenda published to this APS. USAID reserves the right to fund any or none of the applications submitted under this APS. The overarching goal of the Iraq Addendum to the NPI APS is to empower local organizations to solve problems not adequately addressed by other USAID investments and that directly respond to the needs of conflict-affected communities, particularly those targeted for genocide by the so-called Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS), and specifically communities in the the Ninewa Plain, Sinjar, and communities displaced from those areas. Awards issued under this Addendum must focus on recovery for beneficiary populations and building the resilience of their communities. Key expected results towards the achievement of this goal must include metrics that measure community recovery and resilience.
