The United States Agency for International Development’s Mission to Nigeria (USAID/Nigeria) intends to award a Cooperative Agreement to implement a “Strengthening Civic Advocacy and Local Engagement” (“SCALE”) Activity to strengthen the financial, managerial, technical and advocacy capacity of local civil society organizations (CSOs) and business membership organizations (BMOs) in Nigeria. This activity will be carried out over a five-year period from the effective date of award.

The objective of the SCALE Activity is to support CSOs and BMOs across all of USAID/Nigeria’s programmatic sectors with a basket of managerial, business strengthening, and advocacy capacity-building interventions aimed at advancing Nigerian CSO sustainability combined with targeted grants to advance mutually agreed upon priorities. The activity is designed to enhance local civil society organizations’ ability to be positive and responsible change agents in Nigeria. Applicants are encouraged to form partnerships or consortiums, including with non-traditional USAID partners to implement the proposed activity.

The new civil society strengthening activity will build on the achievements of the Mission’s previous civil society activity entitled, “Strengthening Advocacy and Civic Engagement (SACE)” which ended on January 1, 2019.
