Opportunity Information: Apply for 7200AA23RFA00011
The Young African Leaders Initiative (YALI) Legacy and Localization opportunity is a USAID funding announcement for an organization (or consortium) to implement YALI activities under a Cooperative Agreement. USAID indicates it expects to make a single award, meaning one recipient will likely manage and deliver the full scope of work described in the Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO). The legal authority cited for the award is the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961, as amended, and the full set of program goals, outcomes, and expectations are laid out in the Program Description within the NOFO rather than in the brief synopsis.
The competition is structured as a two-phase selection process. In Phase 1, interested applicants submit a concept note, which USAID will review using the merit review criteria described in the NOFO. After that initial screening, Phase 2 involves a co-design process with the Apparently Successful Applicant (ASA) selected from Phase 1, followed by submission and evaluation of a full application. This format signals that USAID is not only evaluating technical ideas and organizational capability up front, but also wants to collaboratively refine the final program design and implementation approach with the leading applicant before making a final award decision.
Eligibility for this opportunity is listed as "Unrestricted," but applicants still must meet the specific eligibility standards and provide all required information as detailed in Section C of the NOFO. In practice, that means an organization should not assume it qualifies based only on the unrestricted label; it must still comply with the requirements laid out in the official document, including any conditions related to applicant type, registrations, representations and certifications, and submission components.
Key administrative details include the posting location (Grants.gov) and the warning that the opportunity may be amended, so applicants are expected to monitor the listing for updates and ensure they are working from the complete, most current version of the NOFO and attachments. USAID also notes it is not responsible for data errors caused by transmission or file conversion, reinforcing that applicants should verify their downloaded documents. For technical problems related to Grants.gov registration or accessing the materials, applicants are directed to the Grants.gov Helpdesk (1-800-518-4726 or support@grants.gov).
From the source data, the opportunity is identified as Funding Opportunity Number 7200AA23RFA00011, with a CFDA number of 98.001. The funding instrument is a Cooperative Agreement (typically indicating substantial involvement by the agency during implementation compared to a standard grant). The listed award ceiling is $57,000,000, and the original closing date is June 1, 2023. The activity and category fields are broadly labeled as "Other," so the most meaningful program specifics, including what "Legacy and Localization" entails in terms of activities, target outcomes, geography, partners, and performance expectations, are intended to be drawn directly from the NOFO and its Program Description in the "Related Documents" section of the Grants.gov announcement.Apply for 7200AA23RFA00011
