Community Livelihoods Project in Yemen: In the near future, USAID/Yemen intends to announce a full and open competition to implement the Mission's Community Livelihoods Project (CLP) subject to the availability of funds. This integrated, flexible, multi-sectoral initiative will serve as the flagship project for the Mission's implementation of the 2010-2012 USAID/Yemen Strategy. CLP is not a traditional development initiative, but it will rely heavily on tried and proven as well as innovative tools transition and development environments. The project is intended to mitigate the drivers of instability in some of Yemen's most difficult areas through the facilitation and implementation of quality government service delivery, job creation, responsive local governance, and active civic participation. Rapidly responding to community-based initiatives to demonstrate USAID's and the Government of Yemen's commitment to underserved communities will be a hallmark of this project. Youth under 25 years old, representing 75% of Yemen's population, will be a particularly important demographic group throughout implementation. Activities will quickly and effectively mitigate critical threats to stability in Yemen by building trust and relationships between communities with historically difficult relations with Yemeni authorities and the citizens in targeted areas. This project will be expected to build on and complement ongoing activities during the transition phase between the existing portfolio of USAID/Yemen projects and this flagship initiative. Very close coordination and collaboration with the Mission's future National Governance Project (NGP) will be extremely important during the implementation of the CLP. The implementer also will partner with and make extensive use of local, Yemeni organizations during the implementation of the project. The implementer also will coordinate with USAID's future Monitoring and Evaluation Project to help ensure that program results are tracked against stability measures.USAID/Yemen's 2010-2012 Strategy will be released when this solicitation is released for bid. USAID anticipates an award for a base period of three years with the potential for follow-on activities dependent on performance and availability of funding. Subject to the availability of funds, the estimated budget for the three year base period is approximately $65 million.Please note that the Mission staff will be unable to entertain meetings or respond to queries with prospective implementers at this stage. For further information, please check the web site www.grants.gov in the near future.
