USAID's Support for the Coalition for Disaster Resilient Infrastructure (CDRI) is a funding opportunity focused on strengthening the work of the CDRI Secretariat through targeted technical assistance and other practical resources. The core aim is to help the Secretariat achieve results faster, maintain momentum over time, and expand the impact of initiatives that fall under CDRI's strategic priority areas. In plain terms, the award is designed to provide specialized support that helps CDRI plan, coordinate, and deliver activities that reduce disaster risk and improve the resilience of infrastructure and communities.
A central feature of this opportunity is its alignment with the Government of India and the CDRI Secretariat's role as a platform for international collaboration on disaster-resilient infrastructure. Through this activity, USAID/India intends to reinforce India's leadership in disaster response and risk reduction, not only domestically but also across South Asia and among other CDRI member countries. The emphasis is on addressing disaster risks proactively by improving how infrastructure is designed, managed, and strengthened so that communities can better withstand and recover from hazards such as floods, cyclones, earthquakes, and other climate- and disaster-related shocks.
From a grants and procurement standpoint, this opportunity was issued by the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), specifically the USAID mission in India (USAID-New Delhi). It was released as an earmark opportunity and uses a cooperative agreement as the funding instrument, which typically implies a higher level of USAID involvement during implementation compared to a standard grant. The activity falls under the Disaster Prevention and Relief category, with CFDA number 98.001, reflecting its focus on reducing risk and strengthening preparedness and resilience rather than only responding after disasters occur.
The opportunity was broadly open in terms of eligibility: it listed applicants as "unrestricted," meaning that any type of entity could apply, subject to any additional eligibility conditions that may have been specified in the full notice. USAID anticipated making a single award under this solicitation, with an award ceiling of $9.2 million. The announcement was created on February 12, 2021, and the original closing date for submissions was March 29, 2021, indicating a defined and competitive application window for organizations capable of providing high-value technical support to an international secretariat.
Overall, the grant is best understood as a capacity-building and acceleration effort for CDRI: it is meant to enhance the Secretariat's ability to deliver on its strategic agenda, strengthen regional and global cooperation on resilient infrastructure, and support India's role as a leader convening other countries around disaster risk reduction. The intended outcome is not simply more studies or plans, but stronger systems and partnerships that translate into more resilient infrastructure and safer, better-prepared communities across South Asia and beyond.Apply for 72038621RFA00003
