This grant, offered by USAID/Guinea, is a critical initiative designed to foster significant development through two key avenues: enhancing the capacity of Guinean NGOs and promoting youth career development. Funding consideration ranges from $10,000 to a maximum of $200,000 for the initial year of project activities, providing substantial support for impactful programs. Projects are eligible for extensions, potentially lasting up to a total of 36 months, though subsequent year funding is contingent upon the availability of resources. USAID/Guinea will rigorously review all applications to identify projects that most effectively align with the strategic objectives of strengthening local civil society and creating robust opportunities for the youth in Guinea, thereby contributing to long-term sustainable growth.
