The United States Agency for International Development is announcing the Diversifying Partnerships in WASH Program (DiP-WASH). Through this Annual Program Statement (APS), USAID announces its desire to engage a diverse range of partners, including new, underutilized and/or locally-established partners, on innovative and evidence-based approaches that address persistent challenges in the safe drinking water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) and water resources management (WRM) sectors that are not adequately addressed by other USAID investments, and that result in increasing the equitable availability and sustainable management of safe water and sanitation for the underserved and most vulnerable. Individual USAID Missions or Bureaus (also known together as Operating Units) will request Concept Papers via Addenda as the first step in a three-step process that could result in USAID funding for an idea. Interested organizations should read this entire APS, as well as any Addenda, and follow the instructions for submitting a Concept Paper. Applicants should not submit Concept Papers in response to this umbrella APS, but only to Addenda published to this APS. APS: The DiP-WASH APS has been uploaded under the "Related Documents" tab.
