Opportunity Information: Apply for 72051921R00002
The Basic Education Quality Advancement Addendum is a USAID/El Salvador funding opportunity designed to bring more locally based, new, and underutilized partners into USAID programming, with a particular emphasis on expanding and strengthening work done through and with higher education institutions. It sits within USAID's broader New Partnerships Initiative (NPI), which is focused on helping partner countries achieve results that are sustainable and resilient over time, while also improving how USAID collaborates with a wider range of organizations for greater development impact. In practical terms, this addendum functions as a call for prospective applicants to submit concept notes, which USAID will review to decide which organizations may be considered for eventual USAID funding.
The opportunity is administered by the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), specifically the USAID mission in El Salvador (USAID-San Salvador). It is categorized under "Other" as an opportunity type, but the funding activity category is Education, and the assistance listing is under CFDA 98.001. The intended award mechanism is a Cooperative Agreement, which generally means that USAID expects to have substantial involvement during implementation rather than simply providing funds with minimal interaction. USAID anticipates making up to two awards under this opportunity, with a maximum award ceiling of $25,000,000.
Eligibility is listed as unrestricted, meaning the competition is open to any type of entity that otherwise meets the requirements, although applicants are expected to pay close attention to any additional eligibility clarifications that may appear in the full addendum text. The central purpose is to attract and enable a broader set of partners, especially those that are locally rooted and may not have traditionally been major recipients of USAID funding, to contribute to improving basic education quality and to do so in ways that connect effectively with higher education systems and institutions.
The addendum is primarily an informational and procedural document meant to guide applicants in preparing and submitting concept notes. It lays out the types of activities that USAID will consider for funding, explains the amount of funding available and how the submission and review process will work, and specifies the requirements concept notes must meet. It also describes the merit review criteria USAID will use to evaluate concept notes, giving applicants a clearer sense of what USAID considers a strong and competitive idea. In addition, it points prospective applicants to relevant supporting documentation and resources, which typically help applicants understand expectations, compliance needs, and how to align proposals with USAID priorities.
Key dates included in the announcement show that the opportunity was created on April 30, 2021, with an original closing date of April 29, 2022, while the specific deadline for concept paper submission is June 1, 2021, at 1600 (4:00 PM) El Salvador local time. The short-term concept note deadline is the critical first gate for applicants, since concept notes are the initial step USAID uses to identify promising approaches and partners before moving toward potential awards.Apply for 72051921R00002
