Hi Libtech!
The US Agency for International Development's (USAID) Broad Agency Agreement (BAA) seeks opportunities to co-create, co-design, co-invest, and collaborate in basic and applied research and development for Science, Technology, Innovation, and Partnership (STIP). USAID invites organizations and companies to participate with USAID in response to a Critical Development Challenge Addendum issued under this BAA to provide innovations and technologies that further USAID's development goal of dramatically improving or saving the lives of over 200 million people over the next five years. We are are excited to announce the newest Addendum under the BAA:* Civil Society İnnovation*. Through the Civil Society İnnovation program, USAID seeks *partners* (donors, private sector, non-profit, networks, academia, technologists, etc.) to co-create programming around new and established approaches to innovatively promote, strengthen, and connect Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) - of all types - through fostering systems where groups can access techniques, tools, technologies, and themselves to address their most pressing issues. The Civil Society İnnovation program forms part of a wider partnership between USAID and the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (Sida) focused on innovation, partnerships, and innovative financing mechanisms to source game-changing innovations with the potential to solve long-standing development challenges. You can find more on the BAA and the Civil Society İnnovation Addendum here: Grants.gov (Addendum 3 is under the "Full Announcement" tab) <http://www.grants.gov/web/grants/view-opportunity.html?oppId=255248> FBO.gov (Addendum 3 is under "All Files" on the right-hand side) <https://www.fbo.gov/spg/AID/OP/WashingtonDC/BAA-DIA-STIP-2014/listing.html> Attached are the addendum and accompanying illustrative concept note.
