Opportunity Information: Apply for NOTICE ON BANGLADESH INTEGRATED YOUTH
This opportunity is a USAID Bangladesh notice announcing a Youth Stakeholders Engagement Workshop connected to the design of an upcoming program called the Bangladesh Integrated Youth Activity. Rather than being a standard application-based grant solicitation, it functions as market research and early stakeholder consultation, bringing together a mix of groups that already work with youth in Bangladesh. USAID intends to engage donor agencies, Government of Bangladesh (GOB) counterparts across relevant ministries, youth groups, and local and international youth-serving NGOs, alongside USAID staff, to map what support currently exists and where the gaps and opportunities are.
The workshop was scheduled for May 25-26, 2022, running from 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., and hosted at the Radisson Blu in Dhaka, with an option for virtual observation. Interested implementing partners were instructed to register their interest by emailing Dipti Das (ddas@usaid.gov) and Sharifa Ahmed (sharifaahmed@usaid.gov) no later than May 16, 2022 at 10:00 a.m. Bangladesh time. Because in-person seating was limited, organizations were asked to nominate only one in-person representative if possible, with USAID sending confirmation and follow-on logistical details to confirmed participants.
USAID set clear expectations for what participating organizations should contribute. Participants were asked to share practical, experience-based information about their current youth programming, including what is working (best practices), what is difficult (implementation challenges), what youth and the sector need in concrete terms, and what emerging opportunities could be built on. A notable element of the notice is its emphasis on transparency: USAID stated that key workshop materials and outputs, such as the agenda and other relevant documents as well as minutes and a workshop readout, would be made publicly available through an online link (for example, a Google Cloud website or similar platform).
The central purpose of the event was to help USAID develop a comprehensive understanding of the assistance landscape for youth in Bangladesh, especially support aimed at youth who are neither employed nor in education or training. The notice highlights that the GOB has already demonstrated recognition of youth as a priority through many programs implemented across multiple ministries, and that donors, youth themselves, and NGOs also play a significant role. By convening a selected and diverse set of stakeholders, USAID aimed to jointly reflect on achievements that build youth capacity and empowerment, and to explore approaches that could expand youth opportunities in ways that contribute to Bangladesh's broader development goals, including its aspiration to become an upper middle-income country. The workshop was also positioned as a direct input into the design of USAID's forthcoming Bangladesh Integrated Youth Activity, meaning the information shared could shape program priorities, partnerships, and implementation strategies.
In the published source data, the opportunity appears in the education activity category under CFDA 98.001, with eligible applicants listed as unrestricted and an award ceiling shown as $40,000,000, though the notice itself is primarily about participating in the stakeholder workshop rather than submitting a full proposal at that stage. The issuing office was USAID/Bangladesh in Dhaka, and the notice was signed by Andrew Holland, CPCM Director in the Office of Acquisition and Assistance.Apply for NOTICE ON BANGLADESH INTEGRATED YOUTH
