Tools, guidelines and methodologies

These Guidelines are designed to:

  • Provide information relevant to the proposal submission and award process for grants and cooperative agreements, hereafter termed, “awards”;
  • Outline the vital components of a proposal to USAID/OFDA;
  • Detail Sector Requirements (SRs), previously titled Additional Program Description Requirements (APDRs), and other specifics to assist with the proposal writing process; and
  • Indicate which administrative and financial forms must be included with each proposal submission.


The intent of the Guidelines is to solicit the information required for USAID/OFDA to make efficient and effective funding decisions. To expedite the proposal review and funding process, you should use the formats suggested in the Guidelines. This practice will ensure that proposals include relevant information identified within these Guidelines as required and therefore will be considered for funding.
