Small Grant Overview
Development and emergency food security, resilience, and emergency response activities programs can use these Program Improvement (PIA) Award small grants to improve the collection and/or use of gender and/or youth data to design and adapt their activities. Applications will support the development, testing, packaging, and sharing of process improvements, innovations, and/or research to improve the collection and use of gender and/or youth data.
This Program Improvement Award RFA responds to feedback from implementers of BHA-funded activities indicating a need for practical, program-oriented approaches to integration and use of data to better understand gender norms and youth dynamics. Implementing partners have asked for user-friendly process improvement, innovation, or research that can be used to strengthen capacity for meaningful integration of gender norms and youth data in their activities.
All grants will be made as sub-awards under the Save the Children US GAYA cooperative agreement with USAID Bureau for Humanitarian Assistance and recipients will be required to follow all relevant USAID rules and regulations. These grants will be made as Fixed Amount Awards.
Local implementing partners are greatly encouraged to apply.
