Opportunity Information: Apply for 72061523APS00001
USAID/Kenya and East Africa is seeking concept submissions under a special addendum to its 2020-2023 Global Development Alliance (GDA) Annual Program Statement (APS-OAA-21-00001). The opportunity, titled "Empowering Women to Adapt to Climate Change in Northern Kenya" (Funding Opportunity Number 72061523APS00001), is designed to support a partnership-based activity that helps women, especially those in pastoral and climate-stressed communities, build stronger resilience and adaptive capacity in response to climate change and its related impacts.
The core aim is to back an activity that expands women-led economic opportunity in Northern Kenya in ways that are directly linked to climate adaptation. USAID is looking for approaches that strengthen womens entrepreneurial capacity, help women diversify and grow alternative income-generating activities, and create practical market linkages that connect women-led enterprises to private sector buyers and partners at local, regional, and even international levels. The intent is not only to help women start or improve businesses, but also to ensure those enterprises can reliably access customers, supply chains, and partnerships that make them sustainable over time, particularly in the face of drought, resource scarcity, and other climate shocks common in arid and semi-arid lands.
A defining feature of the call is the emphasis on private sector engagement through a Global Development Alliance model. Rather than a stand-alone project, USAID is encouraging collaboration where private sector actors can co-create and co-deliver a high-impact activity with development partners and communities. This partnership approach is expected to improve household and community well-being and prosperity while also reducing threats to biodiversity, recognizing that climate adaptation and environmental stewardship are closely linked in Northern Kenyas rangeland and pastoral ecosystems. The opportunity explicitly notes the need to strengthen the resilience of pastoral women and youth, signaling that proposals should consider both womens leadership and the economic and adaptive needs of younger community members.
Beyond economic and climate outcomes, the opportunity highlights social barriers that can prevent women from participating fully in income generation or employment. Proposed activities are expected to address harmful socio-cultural norms that restrict womens economic engagement, and to reduce the harmful effects of gender-based violence, which often escalates under economic stress and climate-related displacement or resource conflict. In practical terms, this means concepts may need to incorporate strategies such as community norm change, safe and supportive work environments, strengthened referral pathways and support services, womens leadership and decision-making, and measures that improve safety and agency alongside livelihoods programming.
From an administrative standpoint, the opportunity is a discretionary grant, listed under CFDA 98.001, and eligibility is described as unrestricted, meaning any type of entity may apply as long as it meets any additional eligibility clarifications in the full APS and addendum. USAID expects to make one award, with a funding ceiling of up to USD 1,500,000. The notice was created on May 22, 2023, with an original closing date of August 21, 2023. Full requirements, submission instructions, and detailed parameters are contained in the attached GDA APS and its addendum, which applicants would need to follow to ensure alignment with USAIDs GDA partnership structure and evaluation expectations.Apply for 72061523APS00001
