Opportunity Information: Apply for RFA FFP 17 000005
The Implementer-led Design, Evidence, Analysis and Learning (IDEAL) opportunity is a USAID Office of Food for Peace (FFP) funding announcement intended to support a large, centralized program that strengthens how food security and nutrition programs are designed, evidence is generated and used, and learning is captured and shared across implementers and contexts. It is issued by USAID within the Bureau for Democracy, Conflict and Humanitarian Assistance (DCHA) and is structured as a Leader with Associates (LWA) Cooperative Agreement, meaning USAID expects an active partnership role during implementation and that the initial "Leader" award can later be used as a platform for additional "Associate" awards aligned to specific missions, countries, or learning priorities.
This opportunity is categorized as discretionary funding and uses a cooperative agreement instrument under the Food and Nutrition funding activity category (CFDA 98.005). USAID planned to make a single award, with an award ceiling of up to $30,000,000, indicating the intent to fund one primary mechanism at scale rather than multiple smaller awards. The competition was open to essentially any qualified entity (unrestricted eligibility), subject to any additional eligibility clarifications contained in the full solicitation text.
IDEAL, as framed in the notice, focuses on implementer-led approaches to design and learning. In practice, this kind of mechanism is typically meant to improve the quality and effectiveness of Food for Peace programming by enabling partners to lead or co-lead the generation of practical evidence, test and refine approaches, strengthen analytical methods, and build systems for adaptive management. The title emphasizes four connected functions: better program design (including the use of evidence and context analysis to shape interventions), evidence (generation and synthesis of findings from implementation and research), analysis (turning data into decisions and actionable insights), and learning (capturing lessons, facilitating knowledge exchange, and translating findings into improved practice). Because it is an LWA, the award is also positioned to serve as a backbone learning and evidence platform that can be extended over time through mission-level or program-specific associate awards.
Key administrative dates in the announcement include an issue date of July 6, 2017, a deadline for questions and clarifications of July 14, 2017 (11:59 PM EDT), and an application closing date of August 9, 2017, with the closing time listed as 11:59 AM EDT. Applicants were directed to consult the full Request for Applications (RFA) RFA-FFP17-000005 for the complete requirements, which would include the detailed program description, expected results, application instructions, selection criteria, and any specific compliance, reporting, or partnership expectations tied to the cooperative agreement structure.Apply for RFA FFP 17 000005
