Opportunity Information: Apply for 72016819APS00001
USAID/BiH Localworks (Snaga lokalnog) Activity is a USAID Bosnia and Herzegovina funding opportunity designed to support locally led community development efforts through awards to local non-governmental organizations and eligible partnerships or consortia. The agency is specifically requesting concept papers at this stage rather than full proposals, with the idea that concept papers will be screened first and only the strongest applicants will move forward. Those selected from the concept paper round may be invited into a co-creation process with USAID, where project ideas and approaches are refined collaboratively; after that co-creation phase, USAID may request full applications from individual organizations and/or consortia that form during co-creation. USAID also notes that it reserves the right not to conduct co-creation, meaning the process could change depending on agency decisions and circumstances.
In terms of funding scale, USAID indicates that, subject to funds being available, it plans to provide up to $6.5 million total across all awards under this Annual Program Statement (APS). Individual awards are expected to fall between $250,000 and $500,000 each, with projects typically running three to five years. The notice anticipates roughly 15 awards, and the maximum award amount (award ceiling) is listed as $500,000. Awards will be made based on the evaluation procedures described in the application review section of the notice (Section E), and applicants must meet the eligibility standards described in Section C to be considered.
Operationally, applications at this stage must be submitted as concept papers by one of the closing dates/times listed in the APS cover letter (the opportunity originally lists an end date of March 13, 2020, though applicants are expected to verify current deadlines and amendments). The opportunity is posted on Grants.gov and may be amended, so applicants are responsible for monitoring the posting and ensuring they are working from the latest version of the notice and any updates. USAID emphasizes that it is not responsible for data or formatting errors that happen during download, transmission, or file conversion, and directs applicants who have technical issues with Grants.gov registration or access to contact the Grants.gov Helpdesk.
The notice also highlights standard U.S. government compliance requirements tied to eligibility for award, particularly around obtaining a unique entity identifier and completing System for Award Management (SAM) registration. Because SAM registration can take weeks, organizations are encouraged to start early to avoid delays that could affect eligibility later in the process. Questions must be submitted to the points of contact identified in the APS (Section D) by the stated deadline, and USAID will share responses through an official amendment posted on Grants.gov so all potential applicants have the same information.
Finally, the opportunity makes clear that publication of the notice does not guarantee funding and does not commit the U.S. government to make an award or reimburse any costs. Any expenses related to developing and submitting concept papers, participating in co-creation, or preparing full applications are the applicant's responsibility and are incurred at the applicant's own risk.Apply for 72016819APS00001
