Opportunity Information: Apply for 72068521APS00003
USAID/Senegal, through its Sahel Regional Office (SRO), issued an addendum to the YouthPower 2 (YP2) Annual Program Statement (APS) No. 7200AA20APS00007 to solicit concept papers for a specific activity called "NAFOORE" to be implemented in the Republic of Mauritania. This is framed as a special call under the broader YouthPower APS, meaning applicants are expected to follow both the addendum instructions and the main YP2 APS guidance to understand the program requirements, how to submit, and how USAID will evaluate submissions. The opportunity is listed on Grants.gov and falls under CFDA 98.001, with the funding activity category shown as Education.
Funding is described as subject to availability, with USAID indicating it may provide up to $17,000,000. The anticipated implementation period is three years, with the possibility of a two-year extension, but that extension is not automatic; it depends on strong performance during the initial three years and the continued availability of funds. USAID expects to make one award under this addendum, which suggests they are looking for a single lead implementer (potentially with partners) capable of delivering the full scope of the NAFOORE program in Mauritania.
The application process is staged. Organizations first submit a concept paper, and only those that pass the concept paper review will be invited to submit a full application. This is a common APS approach intended to reduce burden on applicants and allow USAID to screen for alignment, technical merit, and feasibility before requesting more detailed proposals and budgets. Questions are allowed, but they must be submitted by the posted deadline; answers to timely questions are shared publicly through an amendment posted on Grants.gov so that all potential applicants receive the same clarifications.
Eligibility is listed as "unrestricted" in the opportunity data, meaning it is open to any type of entity, but applicants still need to review Section C of the addendum for any specific conditions or clarifications that could narrow eligibility in practice. USAID emphasizes that applicants should regularly monitor Grants.gov for updates, which is important because amendments can change deadlines, instructions, or evaluation details.
Submissions (concept papers) and questions are directed by email to the designated USAID contacts: Assistance Specialist Aminata Diallo (amdiallo@usaid.gov), with copies to Assistance Specialist Hamed Cisse (hcisse@usaid.gov) and Agreement Officer Robert Trimble (rtrimble@usaid.gov). The notice also includes standard federal assistance language stating that posting the opportunity does not guarantee an award and that the U.S. Government will not reimburse applicants for costs incurred in preparing or submitting a concept paper or application; all such costs are borne by the applicant. The opportunity was created on November 10, 2020, and the original closing date listed is January 4, 2021.Apply for 72068521APS00003
