Opportunity Information: Apply for 72027823RFA00001
USAID/Jordan released an addendum to the YouthPower 2 (YP2) Annual Program Statement (APS) No. 7200AA20APS00007 to fund a new effort called the "Youth Grow" Activity. This is a discretionary funding opportunity issued as a Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) under USAID rules (ADS 303) and authorized under the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961, as amended. Applicants are invited to submit a concept paper first, with USAID using that initial submission to determine which organizations may be invited to proceed and negotiate a full application and budget under a cooperative agreement structure (meaning USAID anticipates substantial involvement during implementation rather than simply providing a grant with minimal federal engagement).
The overall purpose of Youth Grow is to increase the meaningful participation of Jordanian youth in their communities and in the economy. The activity specifically targets young people ages 15 to 29 in Jordan. While the notice does not list detailed technical components in the excerpt provided, it clearly frames the intent as both civic and economic: strengthening youth engagement, inclusion, and opportunities so youth are better able to contribute to local community life and to the broader workforce and economic environment.
USAID/Jordan expects to make a single award, subject to funding availability, USAID discretion, and successful final negotiations of the technical and cost elements. The total estimated amount is up to USD 25,000,000 over a five-year period of performance, with an award ceiling of USD 25,000,000 and an expected number of awards of one. USAID also explicitly reserves the right to make no award at all, even if concept papers are submitted, which is a standard federal safeguard when funding priorities, budgets, or proposal quality do not align with the agency's needs.
Eligibility is intentionally broad. The NOFO states it is open to all entities with no restrictions on eligibility, aiming for full and open competition consistent with 2 CFR 200.319 and USAID's competition policies in ADS 303. This means U.S. and non-U.S. organizations, NGOs, and potentially for-profit organizations may compete, as long as they meet the requirements laid out in the APS/NOFO and can comply with USAID financial, reporting, and compliance rules. USAID notes that award administration will follow ADS Chapter 303 standard provisions for U.S. and non-U.S. NGOs, or FAR Part 31 cost principles for for-profit entities, depending on the applicant type.
From a compliance and management standpoint, the award will be governed by the Uniform Guidance (2 CFR 200) and USAID's supplement (2 CFR 700), along with additional requirements referenced in NOFO Section F. Applicants are encouraged to identify any cost share, match, or leveraged resources that would strengthen the activity's objectives, and they must demonstrate the ability to properly manage, track, and report on all funds, including compliance with any applicable earmark and reporting guidance. Unless the addendum specifies otherwise, the underlying YP2 APS terms and conditions still apply, so applicants need to treat the addendum as an extension of the broader YouthPower 2 solicitation framework rather than a standalone program with entirely separate rules.
