Opportunity Information: Apply for 72052222APS00002
The Expanding Partnerships and Advancing Localization (EPAL) opportunity is a USAID/Honduras grant program designed to deepen collaboration with local Honduran organizations and put them in the driver seat of development solutions. The central idea is localization: instead of outside groups defining problems and delivering prepackaged interventions, EPAL aims to help local actors identify the challenges they see in their own communities, design responses that fit the local reality, and then implement and manage those solutions with USAID support. The work is intended to align directly with two major USAID planning frameworks for Honduras: the Mission's Country Development Cooperation Strategy (CDCS) and the U.S. Government's Root Causes Strategy, which focuses on underlying factors that contribute to instability and irregular migration pressures.
Programmatically, EPAL is meant to build partnerships that address a broad set of development priorities in Honduras, especially in areas USAID has emphasized in recent years. These focus areas include economic growth (such as livelihoods, jobs, and local economic opportunity), education (including access, quality, and pathways that improve life prospects), citizen security (reducing violence and improving community safety through locally grounded approaches), and democracy and governance (strengthening civic participation, transparency, accountability, and effective local institutions). A key part of the opportunity is not only providing funding, but also engaging and strengthening local organizations so they have greater capacity to lead projects, manage compliance requirements, and sustain results beyond the life of a grant.
From an administrative standpoint, EPAL is an Advanced Partnership Solicitation (APS), which is a flexible USAID mechanism commonly used to invite a range of concept ideas and foster co-creation with partners rather than prescribing one narrowly defined project design. The funding instrument is a grant, listed under an "Other" opportunity category and "Other" funding activity category, with clarification expected in the full APS text. The opportunity is issued by the Agency for International Development (USAID) under Funding Opportunity Number 72052222APS00002 and CFDA (Assistance Listing) 98.001. It was created on May 16, 2022, with an original closing date of May 15, 2023. The total potential funding amount (award ceiling) is up to $49,500,000, and USAID anticipates making around 20 awards, suggesting multiple grants may be issued to support different local partners, geographic areas, or thematic approaches.
Eligibility is described broadly as "Others," with additional details intended to be provided in the APS itself. In practice for a localization-focused APS, this typically signals an intent to reach beyond the usual large international implementers and create a pathway for Honduran-based organizations, community groups, local NGOs, networks, and potentially other local entities to compete, partner, and receive direct support. Overall, EPAL is positioned as a vehicle for USAID/Honduras to diversify its partner base, strengthen locally led development, and accelerate progress on national and community priorities tied to economic opportunity, education outcomes, public safety, and democratic governance.Apply for 72052222APS00002
