Opportunity Information: Apply for 72068520RFA00008
The Burkina Faso Governance Activity (BFGA) is a USAID funding opportunity administered through USAID-Dakar (Senegal) to support governance-focused work in Burkina Faso under a cooperative agreement. It is a discretionary grant-style award in which USAID expects to remain actively involved in the implementation alongside the selected partner, which is typical of cooperative agreements. The opportunity is framed as a competitive selection where USAID plans to choose the applicant that most convincingly aligns with the program objectives and performs best against the published merit review criteria, with the final decision also subject to a formal risk assessment.
Funding for BFGA is substantial, with an award ceiling of USD 19,950,000 and an expectation that USAID will make one single award. The assistance listing is under CFDA (now commonly referred to as Assistance Listing) 98.001. The opportunity was posted on August 26, 2020, with an original closing date of September 30, 2020, indicating a roughly one-month application window from announcement to deadline.
Eligibility is broadly open and described as unrestricted, meaning USAID did not limit competition to a narrow class of organizations in the summary notice. In practice, applicants would still need to meet any specific eligibility clarifications contained in the full Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO), but at a high level this call is open to qualified entities of various types that can credibly deliver a governance program of this size and complexity.
The public synopsis does not spell out the technical program design or detailed objectives beyond identifying it as a governance activity, so the specific intended outcomes, geographic focus within Burkina Faso, required components, monitoring expectations, and compliance requirements would be defined in the full NOFO accessed through the "Related Documents" section of the listing. Applicants are directed to read the NOFO carefully to understand the program USAID is seeking, the required application contents and formatting, and how proposals will be evaluated. For access issues or questions related to obtaining the announcement, the notice provides a point of contact: Hamed Cisse at hcisse@usaid.gov.Apply for 72068520RFA00008
