About the Organization

USAID is the world's premier international development agency and a catalytic actor driving development results. USAID's work advances U.S. national security and economic prosperity, demonstrates American generosity, and promotes a path to recipient self-reliance and resilience.

About the Fellowship

Sustainable and locally driven ideas come from a diversity of organizations around the world. To ensure that these ideas have the opportunity to be considered, Unsolicited Solutions for Locally Led Development (US4LLD) sets aside a portion of its annual budget to provide USAID Missions with funding to support unsolicited applications that advance locally led development in any sector.

All concepts must demonstrate how they advance locally led development. Concepts must show how they include:

• Local input: Communities are involved in identifying the development challenge and designing a solution.
• Local ownership: Local leaders are empowered to own and implement the process.
• Innovation: Activities go beyond and/or improve upon traditional development practices.
• Adaptability: There is a strategy for monitoring activities, responding to potential challenges, and adapting as necessary.
• Sustainability: Activities will clearly be more sustainable over the long-term compared to existing practices.

Grant Size:

Locally driven activities through awards of up to $2 million.
