Opportunity Information: Apply for RDMA 72048622
The "USAID RDMA Private Sector Landscape Assessment" posting (Funding Opportunity Number: RDMA 72048622) is not an actual grant competition, but a Special Notice published by USAID's Regional Development Mission for Asia (USAID/RDMA), based in Bangkok, Thailand. Dated October 27, 2021, its purpose is simply to share and publicize the executive summary of a "Private Sector Landscape Assessment" that USAID/RDMA prepared. The assessment is meant to highlight key considerations for engaging the private sector in development work across the region, essentially serving as background context for how USAID/RDMA thinks about private sector participation and what factors matter when designing or implementing partnerships.
A central point of the notice is that it is informational only. USAID/RDMA explicitly states it is not requesting applications, not running a solicitation, and not seeking feedback, questions, or comments at this time. The listing shows no funding attached to it (award ceiling is listed as 0, and expected awards are 0), which reinforces that this is not a call for proposals or a pathway to immediate funding. Even though it appears on Grants.gov in a format that resembles a funding opportunity, it functions more like a public communication and reference document rather than a competitive procurement or assistance action.
In terms of who it is "open" to, the eligibility field is listed as unrestricted, meaning any type of entity could theoretically be relevant as a future respondent to USAID opportunities. However, since there is no application process associated with this notice, eligibility does not translate into a current opportunity to apply. Instead, organizations across sectors, such as nonprofits, private companies, universities, and other institutions, are encouraged to read the assessment and use it as preparation for possible future USAID/RDMA activities.
USAID/RDMA also signals that no related solicitations are anticipated at the moment, but it encourages organizations to keep this information in mind if and when future activities are announced. The practical takeaway is that interested parties should treat the assessment as strategic guidance: it can help them understand USAID/RDMA priorities and considerations around private sector engagement, and it may improve how they position themselves for future collaborations. For next steps, USAID/RDMA advises organizations to monitor Grants.gov for any future funding opportunities or related announcements. The notice is signed by Ayana Angulo, Regional Agreement Officer, USAID/RDMA, Bangkok, Thailand.Apply for RDMA 72048622
