Opportunity Information: Apply for 7200AA22APS00003
APS-OAA-21-00001 Addendum DDI/ITR DCCP (Funding Opportunity Number 7200AA22APS00003) is a USAID grant opportunity released under the Bureau for Development, Democracy, and Innovation (DDI), specifically through the Innovation, Technology, and Research (ITR) Hub. The central purpose is to improve development outcomes for low-income and vulnerable populations by strengthening digital ecosystems that are open, interoperable, reliable, inclusive, and secure, and by accelerating the use of digital tools and data-driven approaches in emerging markets.
A major focus of this addendum is the Digital Invest effort, which is positioned as a way for the U.S. Government to help unlock more investment into digital connectivity and digital financial services. Rather than relying only on traditional grantmaking to fund individual projects directly, the program is designed to use USAID funding in a way that attracts, or "crowds in," additional commercial and institutional capital. The aim is to take limited public funding and structure it so it can catalyze larger pools of private-sector investment for digital connectivity and finance, increasing the scale and sustainability of impact beyond what grant funds alone could typically achieve.
For 2022, Digital Invest intends to support the launch or expansion of four financing facilities. These facilities are meant to help drive sustainable market growth for competitive Internet Service Providers (ISPs) and financial technology (fintech) companies, especially those serving populations that have historically been excluded from access to affordable connectivity and financial services. In practical terms, the opportunity is geared toward solutions that strengthen market participation and competition, expand last-mile or underserved connectivity, and broaden access to digital financial products that can reach people and communities often left out of formal systems.
The opportunity is also framed as part of the broader U.S. Government Build Back Better World Initiative, with an emphasis on promoting a secure and resilient digital ecosystem. That framing signals an interest not only in expanding access, but doing so in ways that support trustworthy infrastructure and responsible technology adoption, including considerations around security and resilience that matter for long-term development and stability.
This is a discretionary funding opportunity using a grant instrument, categorized under "Other" for the funding activity area, and associated with CFDA 98.001. The listing indicates an award ceiling of $500,000. Applicants are expected to begin engagement through a Concept Paper, and the notice stresses that eligible organizations should carefully read the APS addendum for the specific requirements, approach, and submission details. The original closing date listed for submissions was May 13, 2022, and the opportunity record shows a creation date of January 11, 2022. Eligible applicants are broadly described as "Others," which typically indicates that the eligibility scope may be defined in more detail in the addendum and could include a range of organizational types depending on USAID's stated criteria.Apply for 7200AA22APS00003
