USAID/Indonesia Addendum to 7200AA19APS00012 | 7200AA19APS00012 03

Opportunity Information: Apply for 7200AA19APS00012 03

The USAID/Indonesia Addendum to Funding Opportunity 7200AA19APS00012-03 is a mission-specific call for concept papers under USAID's broader Annual Program Statement (APS) for the New Partnerships Initiative (NPI) Conflict Prevention and Recovery Program (CPRP). The larger NPI CPRP APS was created to bring in new and underutilized partners and to widen the pool of organizations that work with USAID in places facing risks of violent conflict or recovering from it. In practical terms, this addendum is how USAID/Indonesia turns that broad global APS into a targeted request for ideas focused on peacebuilding and tolerance promotion in Indonesia, with the overall intention of supporting Indonesia's progress on the Journey to Self-Reliance and generating more sustainable, resilient development results through better partnering.

The central problem USAID/Indonesia highlights is that intolerance and extremism can undermine democratic institutions and increase risks for minority and vulnerable groups across Indonesia. Because these dynamics can become triggers for religious and ethnic conflict, USAID/Indonesia is specifically looking for concept papers that promote interfaith and interethnic tolerance and pluralism. The emphasis is on ideas that help reduce tensions, address drivers of discrimination and polarization, and strengthen social cohesion so that communities are less vulnerable to conflict sparked by religious or ethnic divisions. This opportunity sits within the broader "Law, Justice and Legal Services" activity category and is listed under CFDA 98.001.

Structurally, this opportunity uses the APS and addendum model, meaning applicants are not jumping straight to a full proposal at the start. Instead, USAID Missions request brief concept papers as the first step in a three-step process that can lead to funding if USAID chooses to advance an idea through later stages. USAID also makes clear that submission does not guarantee an award and that it reserves the right to fund any, all, or none of the applications it receives. The grant listing shows an award ceiling of $6,000,000, and while it notes "Expected Awards:" without a number, the ceiling signals the maximum potential size available under this addendum rather than a promise that the full amount will be awarded.

Two documents are described as essential for applicants: the main NPI CPRP Annual Program Statement (APS) and this Indonesia Addendum, both available in the opportunity's related documents section. The APS provides the overall program framework, the rules of engagement, and the baseline instructions and standards applicants must follow. The Indonesia Addendum then layers on the mission-specific priorities for Indonesia, the additional instructions, and any local requirements tied to peacebuilding and tolerance promotion. In other words, applicants are expected to follow both documents together, using the APS for the overarching guidance and the addendum for the Indonesia-specific direction.

Eligibility is governed primarily by the NPI CPRP APS, with applicants directed to review Section III (Eligibility Information) of the APS to confirm they qualify. The addendum may also include additional eligibility details, and applicants are explicitly instructed to review the addendum's Section II (Eligible Organizations) as well. The repeated emphasis on eligibility is important because the NPI is designed to attract "new and underutilized partners," so organizations should confirm they meet the program's definitions and criteria before investing time in a concept paper.

USAID/Indonesia also scheduled an Applicant's Conference to help organizations understand how to apply and what USAID is looking for. The conference was set for June 27, 2019 at 2:00 PM at the U.S. Embassy in Jakarta. Attendance required advance coordination: interested participants had to email Eka Yosida at eyosida@usaid.gov by 1600 on June 24, 2019, and additional conference details were referenced as being on page 10 of the addendum. For ongoing communication, USAID directed all questions related to this opportunity to APS-indo@usaid.gov, indicating that applicants should use that inbox for clarifications rather than informal channels.

Key opportunity metadata includes the agency and location (USAID/Indonesia, USAID-Jakarta), the posting timeline (created June 10, 2019), and the original closing date for submissions (July 29, 2019). The funding opportunity is categorized as "Other" for both opportunity category and funding instrument type, which is typical of APS-based mechanisms where USAID solicits concepts and then determines the most suitable award type later based on the selected approach. Overall, this addendum is best understood as a focused invitation for innovative, conflict-sensitive tolerance and pluralism initiatives that can help Indonesia reduce the risk of religious and ethnic conflict and protect democratic and inclusive civic space, using USAID's NPI APS process as the pathway for submission and potential funding.
