Grant Description

The United States Government, represented by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), anticipates issuing a request for applications (RFA), late-March to early April 2012, inviting applications for a Cooperative Agreement to implement the Palestinian Community Infrastructure Development Program to increase Palestiniansу access to community infrastructure and provide rapid response to address urgent needs in the West Bank and Gaza. To reach this overall objective, the program will replace or upgrade water and sanitation networks in order to increase access to water resources and alleviate water losses; upgrade health facilities to improve essential health services; build and upgrade schools to provide improved learning facilities; and, provide other public infrastructure within and between communities to improve basic services and increase economic opportunities. Subject to the availability of funds, this competitively awarded five year Cooperative Agreement shall focus on implementing projects primarily in rural and vulnerable communities that face serious shortages in basic services. USAID will advise applicants of project objectives and desired outcome; however, applicants must provide the methodology or approach for implementation of the project. Applicants will have the opportunity to propose a sound, cost effective approach for the Program. This will be a competitive announcement, and USAID encourages all U.S. non-governmental organizations to consider this opportunity.
