Deadline:
- Phase 1: Concept Papers related to Water, Environment, and Youth Employment must be submitted by April 10, 2018
- Phase 2: Concept Papers related to Nutrition, Education Technology, and Anti-Corruption must be submitted by July 18, 2018
USAID/Guatemala is seeking concept papers from U.S. and non-U.S. organizations for engaging with USAID Guatemala under the Partnerships for Prosperity (P4P) APS.
The Annual Program Statement (APS) invites civil society organizations, non-governmental organizations, non-profit organizations, education and research institutions, private businesses, financial institutions, chambers of commerce, industry associations, foundations, entrepreneurs, investors, philanthropists, and other private-sector organizations to identify and suggest ways we can work together to address key challenges in Guatemala and that are aligned with USAID/Guatemala’s development objectives.
The goal of the collaboration is to address development challenges using an approach or innovation that can be replicated and sustained leading to measurable improvements in development outcomes. Innovations are not defined by their novelty, but by their potential to achieve significant development outcome versus existing alternatives.

Eligibility Criteria
- USAID/Guatemala is targeting both potential Resource Partners and Implementing partners with this APS.
- Resource Partners are U.S. and non-U.S. (with a focus on Guatemala) private sector businesses, foundations, financial institutions, entrepreneurs, investors, philanthropists, and others who can identify and suggest ways to use their financial or other resources to collaborate with USAID/Guatemala.
- Implementing Partners are U.S. and non-U.S.non-governmental private sector (for-profit or non-profit) that can engage and work with Resource Partners. Implementing Partners may provide 1:1 leverage themselves, or they must secure private sector funding for the projects they are proposing to implement in partnership with USAID/Guatemala. Individuals are not eligible to be Implementing Partners, although they may be Resource Partners.
- U.S. and non-US organizations may participate under this APS. In the case of certain future funding opportunities, solicitations may be limited to Regional or Local (i.e. Guatemalan organizations), which will be defined in the relevant amendment to this APS. USAID/Guatemala encourages applications from organizations that have not previously received financial assistance from USAID.
- While this APS is open to worldwide competition, USAID/Guatemala is particularly interested in working with the Guatemalan private sector. This includes non-traditional development partners such as private businesses, business and trade associations, foundations, and financial institutions, in addition to traditional non-profit NGOs and for-profit development firms.
