Opportunity Information: Apply for RFI 521 17 000002
The Youth Civic Engagement Consultation is a USAID/Haiti information-gathering and stakeholder engagement opportunity (listed as an "Exchanges with Industry" notice) focused on youth civic engagement in Haiti. Rather than being a traditional grant competition with a defined budget and deliverables, it is structured as an invitation for organizations and interested parties to participate in a one-day consultation where USAID can hear perspectives, discuss needs and opportunities, and gather input that may inform future programming or partnerships related to youth participation in civic life.
The consultation is scheduled for Friday, February 24, 2017, from 8:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Haiti local time. It will be held at the Karibe Hotel, located at Juvnat 7 in Petion-Ville, Haiti. The announcement notes that a draft agenda is attached, indicating a planned set of discussion topics or sessions intended to guide the day.
Attendance is limited due to space constraints, so participation requires an RSVP. Interested attendees must submit their name, organization, and contact information no later than February 10, 2017. To ensure broad representation, USAID requests that no more than three participants attend per organization.
In the source listing details, the opportunity appears under the Agency for International Development (USAID), specifically the Haiti mission (USAID-Port au Prince). The funding listing includes a funding opportunity number (RFI 521 17 000002) and references a cooperative agreement instrument type, but key fields such as the award ceiling are listed as 0, which reinforces that the primary purpose here is consultation and market or stakeholder research rather than an immediate funding award. Eligibility is described as unrestricted, meaning any type of entity can participate, subject to any additional clarifications that might be included elsewhere in the full notice. The posting date is January 24, 2017, with an original closing date aligned to the RSVP deadline of February 10, 2017 at 3:30 PM EST, and it lists an expected number of awards as 1, though in practice this notice functions as an event invitation for input on youth civic engagement priorities.Apply for RFI 521 17 000002
