Opportunity Information: Apply for APS OAA 21 00001 ADDENDUM
Digital Invest: Mobilizing Private Capital for Internet Connectivity and Digital Financial Services in Developing Markets is a USAID funding opportunity released as an addendum under the Global Development Alliance (GDA) Annual Program. The addendum format matters because it does not stand alone; it is meant to be read together with, and governed by, the full GDA Annual Program Announcement. In practical terms, that means the core rules, partnership expectations, review process, and standard requirements are laid out in the main announcement, while this addendum signals a specific thematic focus area: using partnerships to catalyze private capital in support of internet connectivity and digital financial services in developing markets.
The opportunity is administered by the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) under Funding Opportunity Number APS OAA 21 00001 ADDENDUM and is categorized as "Other" for both the opportunity and the funding instrument type. The CFDA (assistance listing) number is 98.001. Eligibility is listed as unrestricted, which generally indicates that a wide range of organizations may apply, though applicants still need to meet any conditions and partnership criteria described in the underlying GDA Annual Program Announcement. The addendum was created on January 6, 2023, and the original closing date shown is April 14, 2023. The listed award ceiling is $1,000,000, indicating the maximum expected USAID contribution per award under this addendum, with the number of expected awards not specified in the provided data.
Substantively, the stated focus is on "mobilizing private capital" to expand internet connectivity and digital financial services in developing markets. Read plainly, this implies USAID is looking for partnership-driven approaches that do more than deliver a one-off project; the intent is to use USAID support as a catalyst to attract, de-risk, or unlock additional private investment into sectors like broadband infrastructure, last-mile connectivity, inclusive digital access, and financial products or platforms delivered through digital channels. Because this is framed under the GDA model, the expectation is typically that applicants bring meaningful non-U.S. government resources to the table (often private-sector funding, expertise, technology, distribution networks, or other in-kind contributions) and that the combined effort produces development outcomes that neither partner could achieve as effectively alone.
Anyone considering applying is directed to carefully review both this addendum and the full GDA Annual Program Announcement hosted on USAID's website at https://www.usaid.gov/gda/global-development-alliance-annual-program. The addendum explicitly warns that important information in the full announcement applies to this opportunity but is not repeated here, which is a key compliance point. In other words, the details that typically determine whether an application is compliant and competitive such as required sections, submission instructions, evaluation criteria, cost share or leverage expectations, and any standard USAID terms and conditions are expected to be found in the main announcement rather than in the addendum text.Apply for APS OAA 21 00001 ADDENDUM
