Development Grants Program (DGP): The United States Agency for International Development (USAID), through the Development Grants Program (DGP), is inviting applications from Private and Voluntary Organizations based in the United States (U.S. PVOs) and local Non-Governmental Organizations (LNGOs) to foster sustainable grassroots development through the support of local development initiatives and capacity strengthening of these organizations. The objective of the DGP is to strengthen LNGOs and U.S. PVOs, recognizing that a vibrant and active NGO sector is fundamental to promoting a healthy civil society that is accountable and responsive to citizens' needs. The DGP is managed in the Office of Innovation and Development Alliances, Local Sustainability Division. The Local Sustainability Division of IDEA works to improve the sustainability of civil society organizations by focusing on supporting innovative local development projects and capacity development.
