TO ALL INTERESTED ORGANIZATIONS,

This Amendment No. 4 is hereby issued to share information related with additional questions recently received:

1. Question: In some text boxes of the form there is a maximum number of characters. Do they refer to letters, symbols or words?

Answer: The number included in the text boxes refers to the number of characters. A character is any letter, symbol, special symbol or space that is inserted in the text box.

2. Question: I would like to ask you for a final question. It concerns the possibility to include, in the requested budget, 10% indirect costs. Unfortunately, the Addendum is not specifying this point but, according to ADS Chapter 303 Grants and Cooperative Agreements to Non-Governmental Organizations, an organization without NICRA may choose to charge a de minimis rate of 10% modified total direct costs.

Answer: In response to your question below, yes, you may propose a de minimis rate of 10% in accordance with the Standard Provisions for Non-U.S. Non-Governmental Organizations https://www.usaid.gov/sites/default/files/documents/303.pdf.
