An Addendum highlights a specific program or activity, where technical assistance or partnership opportunities are communicated by a USAID OU. Addenda will be the exclusive source of funding through this APS. NOTE: This APS is not a Request for Applications or a Request for Proposals, and does not serve as a general request for APCCA concepts. USAID will only consider Concepts that are submitted in response to Addenda to this APS. USAID will not accept or consider any Concepts submitted in response to the general APCCA Alliance APS. Addenda will be posted on www.grants.gov.
