Opportunity Information: Apply for 72049219RFA00010
The New Youth Activity is a USAID/Philippines (USAID-Manila) grant opportunity designed to improve education, employment, and livelihood outcomes for young people in the Philippines, with a clear emphasis on marginalized youth who are out of school. The core idea is institutional strengthening: rather than focusing only on direct services, the activity aims to improve how key institutions and systems function at the national level and in selected regions so that youth-oriented programs work better, reach more young people, and produce more durable results.
A central part of the opportunity is expanding and improving "second-chance" pathways for out-of-school youth to reenter formal education. This includes strengthening Philippine government interventions that help youth return to school and continue progressing, which can involve addressing barriers like reentry policies, guidance and referral mechanisms, coordination between agencies and schools, and the practical supports needed for youth to stay enrolled once they return. The opportunity frames education not as a one-time intervention but as a system that needs to be responsive to youth who have been excluded or disrupted and who may need flexible options to successfully reintegrate.
The activity also targets the systems that connect out-of-school youth to training and employment. In practical terms, this means strengthening government-led or government-supported structures that prepare youth for work and link them to job opportunities or livelihood options. The focus is on making training and employment support more effective and better coordinated, which can include improving planning, partnerships, and implementation across relevant institutions so that youth receive relevant skills development and clearer pathways into jobs or sustainable income-generation.
In addition, the New Youth Activity aims to strengthen the enabling environment for youth development at both national and local levels. This generally refers to the policy, coordination, and governance conditions that determine whether youth programs succeed: how priorities are set, how agencies collaborate, how resources are allocated, how local governments implement youth initiatives, and how youth development issues are identified and addressed over time. The emphasis on both national and local levels signals that the activity expects changes in overarching systems and policies as well as improvements in local execution where youth actually access services.
From an administrative standpoint, this is a cooperative agreement, meaning USAID typically expects substantial involvement during implementation compared with simpler grant mechanisms. The opportunity is categorized under education (FundingActivityCategory: Education) and is listed under CFDA 98.001. The funding opportunity number is 72049219RFA00010, and it was posted by the Agency for International Development, Philippines (USAID-Manila). Eligibility is described as unrestricted, open to any type of entity as allowed by the solicitation, subject to any additional eligibility clarifications in the full announcement. The opportunity anticipated a single award (ExpectedAwards: 1) with an award ceiling of $37,500,000, indicating a large, multi-year, flagship-type program rather than a small pilot.
