Opportunity Information: Apply for 72038624RFA00006
The "Addendum for Transformative Partnerships for Climate-Resilient Water and Sanitation Initiative under DiP-WASH" is a USAID/India funding opportunity issued as an addendum to the broader Diversifying Partnerships in WASH (DiP-WASH) Annual Program Statement (APS No. 7200AA21APS00004). At its core, the opportunity is meant to bring in a wider mix of partners than traditional USAID programs often reach, including new entrants, nontraditional organizations, and local actors, to test and scale innovative, evidence-based approaches that tackle stubborn water security and WASH problems. The emphasis is on solutions that are not already being adequately addressed by other USAID investments, and that measurably improve equitable access and sustainable management of climate-resilient safe water and sanitation for communities that are underserved, marginalized, or otherwise in vulnerable situations.
The initiative itself aims to strengthen and expand inclusive, climate-resilient, and low-emissions water security and sanitation through collaborative partnerships, while also supporting a larger strategic ambition of positioning India as a global leader in the water, sanitation, and hygiene sector. In practice, this signals interest in partnership models and interventions that do more than deliver short-term infrastructure; USAID is looking for approaches that help build resilient WASH systems, support universal coverage goals, and can be replicated or scaled in ways that demonstrate leadership and learning value beyond a single project location. The addendum is being advanced by USAID's Bureau for Resilience, Environment, and Food Security, Center on Water Security, Sanitation and Hygiene (REFS/CW), together with USAID/India.
Funding is expected to be awarded as cooperative agreements, meaning USAID anticipates substantial involvement during implementation rather than a hands-off grant structure. Subject to funds being available, the total estimated USAID contribution across the initiative is capped at USD 6 million for a total anticipated project life of three years. USAID/India expects to support one or more awards, with individual awards anticipated to be as large as USD 2 million over the life of each award, and the opportunity listing indicates up to three expected awards. Even so, the addendum makes it clear that USAID is not obligated to make an award, may ultimately decide to make none, and that publication of the addendum does not guarantee funding decisions or selections.
The opportunity is categorized as an earmark and is listed under CFDA/Assistance Listing 98.001, with the activity category labeled "Other." Eligibility is described as "Unrestricted" in the opportunity data, but applicants are directed to consult Section C (Eligibility Information) of the addendum document for the controlling requirements and any specific conditions, limitations, or documentation expectations. The opportunity is administered by USAID New Delhi (Agency Name: India USAID-New Delhi). The funding opportunity number is 72038624RFA00006, and the original closing date is October 30, 2024 (with a creation date of September 16, 2024).
Finally, the addendum highlights a flexible, staged selection approach: USAID reserves the right to use a co-creation process, but also explicitly reserves the right not to co-create and instead request a full application from applicants who advance from the concept note stage (or from any stage, at USAID's discretion). For applicants, this means the pathway from concept to full proposal may vary, and the ability to clearly articulate an innovative, evidence-backed, inclusive, and climate-resilient WASH approach at the concept note stage is likely to be important, especially given USAID's emphasis on reaching underserved populations and addressing gaps not covered by existing investments.Apply for 72038624RFA00006
