Opportunity Information: Apply for 72052420RFA00001
The NYCSER YP 2 APS USAID Nicaragua Addendum (Funding Opportunity Number 72052420RFA00001) is a discretionary USAID/Managua cooperative agreement opportunity focused on strengthening youth outcomes and community resilience in Nicaragua. It sits under an addendum to the FY 2020 YouthPower 2 (YP2) Annual Program Statement (APS) No. 7200AA20APS00007, and it is framed around the idea that young people are a priority population for advancing Nicaragua's longer-term development through improved knowledge, stronger civic participation, and better pathways to employment.
The central purpose of the opportunity is to help vulnerable youth, and the communities around them, become more secure, empowered, and resilient so they can advocate for and address their own interests, including their security concerns. USAID is seeking targeted support specifically in four municipalities: Managua, Masaya, Bilwi, and Waspam. The grant emphasizes that investing in youth can create broader community benefits, positioning young people as agents of change who can contribute to their own development and to local progress.
Programmatically, the opportunity aligns with USAID's broader youth vision and the "journey to self-reliance" approach. A key expectation is that activities be intentional, age-appropriate, and gender-transformative, meaning the programming should be designed in ways that match the realities of different youth age groups and actively address gender norms and barriers rather than treating gender as a simple checkbox. The rationale is that well-designed youth programming can influence social norms and help build a culture that supports self-reliance, accountability, entrepreneurship, and good governance.
From an administrative and funding standpoint, USAID plans to make one award, with an award ceiling of up to $20,000,000. The instrument type is a cooperative agreement, which typically signals that USAID expects substantial involvement during implementation (for example, active collaboration on planning, monitoring, or technical direction compared to a more hands-off grant). The funding activity category is listed as Education, and the CFDA (assistance listing) number provided is 98.001. Eligibility is broadly noted as "Others," with the expectation that applicants consult the additional eligibility language in the full announcement for specifics on who qualifies.
Key dates listed in the notice show the opportunity was created on June 1, 2020, with a concept note deadline of June 29, 2020 at 12:00 noon Nicaragua time. Questions were due earlier, by June 11, 2020 at 12:00 noon Nicaragua time. Overall, the opportunity is geared toward a single, sizable award to an implementer capable of delivering youth-centered, community-linked interventions in the named municipalities, using approaches that build skills and opportunities while also strengthening civic life and community-level resilience.Apply for 72052420RFA00001
