Opportunity Information: Apply for BAA AFG ENERGY2018
The USAID/Afghanistan Broad Agency Announcement for Energy (Funding Opportunity Number: BAA AFG ENERGY2018) is a discretionary USAID funding opportunity issued by USAID-Kabul under the Agency for International Development. It focuses on the energy sector (CFDA 98.001) and is structured as a Broad Agency Announcement, using an "Other" type funding instrument rather than a standard grant or cooperative agreement format. The opportunity was created on May 12, 2018, with an original closing date of June 1, 2018. USAID anticipated making a single award, with an award ceiling listed as 1.
The core purpose of the announcement is to build strong, practical partnerships that can pilot and validate new, innovative approaches to a real and persistent development problem in Afghanistan: the difficulty that Afghan businesses and individual households face in getting reliable electricity. Rather than funding routine infrastructure work, the BAA is framed around generating and testing solutions that respond to defined Problem and Challenge Statements. In practice, this means USAID intended to identify promising organizations and then work with them in a collaborative way to co-create solutions, test them in real conditions, refine them based on evidence, and ultimately position successful approaches for scale-up. The emphasis on piloting and scaling suggests USAID was looking for ideas that could move beyond a one-off demonstration and instead lead to broader adoption, replication, or integration into existing systems.
A distinctive feature of this opportunity is its explicit openness to partnerships that include "resource providers." USAID signals that it is interested not only in implementers with technical expertise and workable ideas, but also in partners that can bring additional value such as specialized capabilities, complementary programming, or even co-funding. The intent is to crowd in different kinds of contributors to strengthen proposed solutions and increase the odds that successful pilots can be sustained and expanded after initial testing.
Eligibility, as listed in the source data, includes Public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities. The opportunity category is discretionary, and the funding activity category is energy, reinforcing that the program is targeted at electricity access constraints. Overall, the BAA describes a problem-driven, innovation-oriented approach: select organizations would be invited into a collaborative process with USAID to develop, trial, and scale practical solutions that reduce barriers to reliable power for Afghan enterprises and individuals.Apply for BAA AFG ENERGY2018
