Description
The "Partnerships for Progress" grant opportunity, funded by USAID Nigeria, aims to empower local actors within Nigerian communities to lead the identification of development challenges and to propose and implement locally-driven solutions. The term "local community" is broadly defined to include groups of individuals, households, organizations, political units (such as villages, municipalities, or sub-national government entities), private sector firms, and other partner-country institutions united by shared interests or priorities. Importantly, the program emphasizes inclusivity, ensuring marginalized groups such as women, youth, Indigenous peoples, and key populations are actively involved.
This cooperative agreement supports initiatives that strengthen local capacity and leadership in addressing development issues directly affecting their communities. The grant aligns with USAID Nigeria’s broader mission to promote sustainable development through partnerships that enhance democracy, governance, economic growth, health, education, and social inclusion.
