Opportunity Information: Apply for 72067423APS00001
The Southern Africa Regional Political Processes Addendum APS is a USAID-funded grant opportunity designed to strengthen democratic political party systems across selected countries in the Southern African Development Community (SADC). The central aim is to promote representative multiparty politics by helping political parties become more democratic in how they operate, more responsive to citizens, and more capable of developing and advancing effective public policy. In practical terms, the program is meant to improve the overall functioning and quality of political competition and governance by supporting parties that can engage voters credibly, reflect public priorities, and contribute to constructive policy reforms.
The opportunity targets the SADC region, a bloc of 16 member states: Angola, Botswana, Comoros, Democratic Republic of Congo, Eswatini, Lesotho, Madagascar, Malawi, Mauritius, Mozambique, Namibia, Seychelles, South Africa, United Republic of Tanzania, Zambia, and Zimbabwe. The program is structured to work at two interconnected levels. Regionally, it will encourage cross-border collaboration and exchange among political parties, including networking opportunities, peer-to-peer learning, and structured discussions on shared challenges such as transboundary issues and electoral policy questions that affect multiple countries. This regional approach is intended to build relationships and common understanding among parties facing similar democratic governance and electoral integrity concerns, while also spreading practical lessons and tools from one context to another.
At the country level, the program will provide direct support to political parties to help them become more inclusive and citizen-focused, with stronger internal practices and better capacity to engage in reforms. This includes helping parties improve how they listen to and represent diverse constituencies, strengthen internal decision-making and accountability, and develop policy platforms that are realistic, evidence-based, and aligned with voter needs. A key expectation is that parties supported through the program will be better positioned not only to compete in elections fairly and effectively, but also to contribute meaningfully to electoral and policy reform efforts within their own countries.
From an administrative standpoint, this is an “Other” category opportunity issued by the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), specifically the USAID mission in South Africa (USAID-Pretoria). The funding instrument is a Cooperative Agreement, which typically means USAID anticipates substantial involvement during implementation, such as collaboration on planning, oversight, and performance management rather than simply providing funds with minimal interaction. The opportunity number is 72067423APS00001, listed under CFDA 98.001. The posted award ceiling is $10,000,000, and USAID expects to make one award. The notice was created on April 26, 2023, with an original closing date of May 25, 2023. Eligibility is listed as “Others,” with additional eligibility details referenced in the full announcement.Apply for 72067423APS00001
