The Improve Livelihoods and Enhance Economic Development (ILEED) opportunity is a USAID/West Bank and Gaza Mission grant competition aimed at supporting a large, multi-year development activity in Gaza. USAID intends to make a single award under a cooperative agreement for a five-year program with a maximum total value of up to USD 60,000,000. The overall purpose is to strengthen livelihoods and local economic resilience so households are better able to withstand and recover from recurring shocks and crises. While the core of the program is long-term livelihoods and economic development, the design is also meant to stay flexible enough to shift into emergency response mode if conditions deteriorate or new crises emerge.
ILEED is framed around helping households build more resilient ways of earning income and meeting basic needs despite Gaza's repeated disruptions. In practice, that typically implies support that can help people sustain or restart income-generating activities, improve employability, strengthen small businesses or household enterprises, and reduce vulnerability to economic and market instability. A central theme is equipping households with tools, capacities, and pathways that make them less fragile when faced with recurrent crises, rather than only offering short-term relief. At the same time, USAID signals that the activity should be able to respond quickly to emergencies, which suggests the implementer will be expected to maintain operational readiness, contingency planning, and the ability to pivot resources or programming approaches when needed.
The opportunity also includes a secondary emphasis on climate change adaptation through livelihood development. That means livelihoods support is not only about jobs and income in the present, but also about helping people adapt their economic activities to climate-related stresses that can affect Gaza, such as heat, water scarcity, changing rainfall patterns, and related impacts on agriculture, food systems, and infrastructure. Climate adaptation in this context often shows up as promoting more climate-resilient income sources, supporting practices or technologies that reduce climate risk, and helping households and communities plan for and manage environmental stressors that can undermine livelihoods over time.
From an administrative standpoint, the opportunity is listed as discretionary funding and uses a cooperative agreement instrument, which usually means USAID expects substantial involvement during implementation compared with a standard grant. The funding opportunity number is 72029423RFA00003 and the CFDA number is 98.001. USAID anticipated making one award. The posting indicates it was created on June 6, 2023, with an original closing date of July 6, 2023. Eligibility is listed broadly as "Others," with further details normally provided in the full solicitation under an additional eligibility section, implying that nontraditional or varied organizational types may be considered depending on the requirements in the complete announcement.
In short, ILEED is a major, five-year USAID initiative for Gaza designed to improve livelihoods and economic stability at household level, build on prior USAID investments, remain adaptable to emergency conditions, and incorporate climate adaptation as a supporting objective through the way livelihoods are developed and strengthened.Apply for 72029423RFA00003
