Locally Led Development: This Annual ProgramStatement (APS), entitled Locally Led Development, offers USAID Operating Units (OUs: Missions, Bureaus, or Independent Offices) an easy-to-use mechanism to support development approaches that are responsive to local priorities and led by local actors while upholding the U.S. foreign policy objectives of promoting national security, advancing American values, and supporting global prosperity and self-reliance. It will support the Journey to Self-Reliance (https://www.usaid.gov/selfreliance) by empowering local actors to take the lead in identifying and addressing development challenges in their own communities. Under this APS, USAID intends to fund a wide range of flexible and innovative approaches to locally led development.
