Opportunity Information: Apply for 72066321RFA00002
The Disaster Risk Management Professionalization and Youth Leadership (DRM-PYL) opportunity is a USAID/Ethiopia funding call for an organization (or consortium) to carry out an activity focused on strengthening disaster risk management systems and building youth leadership in Ethiopia. USAID is seeking applications under a cooperative agreement, which generally means the selected implementer will carry out the program with substantial involvement from USAID during implementation (for example, through collaboration on planning, technical direction, and monitoring). The overall intent, based on the title and description, is to improve the professional capacity and effectiveness of disaster risk management while also cultivating a pipeline of young leaders who can contribute to preparedness, response, and resilience efforts over the long term.
This opportunity is formally titled "Disaster Risk Management Professionalization and Youth Leadership (DRM-PYL)" and is listed under Funding Opportunity Number 72066321RFA00002. It is categorized as "Other" for the opportunity category, and the funding instrument type is a cooperative agreement. The activity is grouped under the broader funding activity category of Agriculture, which commonly includes resilience, food security, and risk reduction work in contexts where climate shocks, drought, flooding, and related hazards affect livelihoods and agricultural systems. The CFDA (now often referred to as Assistance Listing) number associated with the opportunity is 98.001, indicating it falls under USAID foreign assistance programming.
Eligibility is listed as unrestricted, meaning USAID is open to applications from any qualified entity that meets the requirements laid out in the full announcement (for example, U.S. or non-U.S. organizations, NGOs, universities, for-profits, or others, depending on the details in the solicitation). The issuing agency is USAID/Ethiopia, based in Addis Ababa. The opportunity record shows a creation date of December 15, 2020, and an original closing date for applications of October 14, 2021, which sets the submission deadline in the original posting.
In terms of funding scale, the award ceiling is $7,680,000, which represents the maximum amount USAID anticipated for a single award under this announcement. The listing indicates an expected awards field, but no number is provided in the source data you shared, so it is not possible to confirm from this excerpt how many awards USAID intended to make. Practically, opportunities framed this way are often designed for one main implementer, but the definitive answer would be in the full Notice of Funding Opportunity.
In plain terms, this grant opportunity is about building stronger, more professional disaster risk management capacity in Ethiopia and pairing that with deliberate youth engagement and leadership development. Applicants would typically be expected to propose an implementation approach that improves skills, standards, coordination mechanisms, and institutional capabilities for disaster risk reduction and response, while also creating structured roles for young people to lead, participate, and build careers in the disaster risk management field.Apply for 72066321RFA00002
