Base NOFO

The United States Agency for International Development (USAID) is seeking applications for Fixed Amount Cooperative Agreement(s) from qualified Bangladeshi local entities to implement the USAID Host and Impacted Community Resilience Activity program. Eligibility for this award is restricted to Local Entity. Eligible parties interested in submitting an application are encouraged to read this NOFO (see the attachment for full funding opportunity) thoroughly to understand the type of program sought, application submission requirements and selection process.

The purpose of this activity is to improve the overall well-being and resilience of people residing in the communities hosting or impacted by the Rohingya refugee crisis. In this case, host communities refer to the Ukhia and Teknaf upazilas hosting Rohingya refugee camps. Impacted communities are Cox's Bazar district, and communities throughout the three Chittagong Hill Tracts (CHT) districts (Bandarban, Rangamati, and Khagrachari). The inclusion of the CHT districts will allow the activity to address longer-term, less immediate impacts of the refugee crisis related to social cohesion and conflict prevention across the region.
