Opportunity Information: Apply for 72062025RFI00001
The USAID Multisectoral Resilience Activity is a forthcoming USAID/Nigeria initiative being shaped for implementation in Sokoto and Zamfara States. At this stage, USAID is not yet announcing a full competitive funding solicitation; instead, it has issued a Request for Information (RFI) to gather practical, innovative ideas that can inform the final design of the award. The core aim is to identify locally led, inclusive approaches that help vulnerable people and communities move out of poverty, become more self-reliant, and strengthen their ability to cope with and recover from shocks and long-term stressors.
The opportunity is being managed by USAID’s Nigeria Mission based in Abuja (Nigeria USAID-Abuja), and it is categorized as a discretionary opportunity under CFDA/Assistance Listing 98.001. USAID indicates the anticipated funding instrument as a Cooperative Agreement, which typically means the agency expects substantial involvement during implementation (for example, collaboration on work planning, learning, adaptive management, and oversight), rather than a more hands-off grant structure. The posted award ceiling is $17,000,000, signaling a sizable activity, although the notice does not specify the final number of awards expected.
In terms of who can respond, eligibility is listed as “Unrestricted,” which generally implies that a wide range of organizations may submit ideas in response to the RFI, including local and international NGOs, community-based organizations, private sector actors, consortia, universities, and other relevant entities. Because this is an RFI, the emphasis is on submitting strong concepts, models, and intervention ideas rather than a full technical proposal and budget package. USAID’s focus on “locally led” and “inclusive” interventions suggests that responses will likely be more compelling if they show real community ownership, meaningful participation of marginalized groups, and practical pathways for sustainability beyond the life of USAID support.
The design priorities described in the notice point toward multisectoral resilience programming, meaning solutions that cut across more than one sector (for example, livelihoods and market systems, food security, health and nutrition, education, water and sanitation, climate adaptation, social cohesion, and governance). USAID is specifically looking for ideas that address both immediate vulnerabilities and the underlying conditions that keep households trapped in poverty, while also building the capacity to withstand future disruptions such as economic shocks, climate-related hazards, displacement, or conflict-related instability. The use of “shocks and stressors” language is typical of resilience programming and usually implies an interest in interventions that combine risk reduction, diversified incomes, stronger services and systems, and improved community coping mechanisms.
Key administrative details include the Funding Opportunity Title (USAID Multisectoral Resilience Activity) and Funding Opportunity Number 72062025RFI00001. The RFI was created on December 17, 2024, and responses are due by January 17, 2025. Any organization planning to respond should treat that due date as firm and use the RFI period to propose actionable, evidence-informed concepts tailored to Sokoto and Zamfara, with a clear explanation of how the approach would be implemented in a locally driven way and how it would measurably improve self-sufficiency and resilience for vulnerable populations.Apply for 72062025RFI00001
