Youth Open Geospatial Data Activity (USAID YODA)
Deadline: May 6, 2024
Pursuant to the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961, as amended, the United States Government, as represented by the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), the Bureau for Inclusive Growth, Partnerships, and Innovation (IPI), and the USAID GeoCenter located in the IPI Hub for Innovation, Technology and Research (ITR), is announcing the Youth Open Geospatial Data Activity (USAID YODA) Addendum to the YouthPower 2 (YP2) Annual Program Statement (APS), hereafter known as the YP2 APS.
Through this USAID YODA Addendum, the GeoCenter aims to provide a vehicle for increasing the availability of and access to open geospatial data by engaging with youth-led and youth-serving organizations, among others, and systems to generate cross-sectoral, positive youth development outcomes.
Through the USAID Youth Open Geospatial Data Activity (USAID YODA) Addendum to the YouthPower 2 (YP2) Annual Program Statement (APS) No. 7200AA20APS00007, the USAID GeoCenter intends to empower local communities by equipping university-aged youth to use open source geospatial data and technology to address local challenges. Concepts should focus on youth development of skills to create new geographic data, make maps, and perform geospatial analysis using remote sensing and geographic information systems (GIS). Concepts should also emphasize the creation of geospatial data as a digital public good (DPG) to support local resilience, economic opportunity, and overall citizen empowerment.
All interested organizations are restricted to submitting one Concept Note as the Prime Applicant. Interested applicants from within Duke should contact fundopps@duke.edu as early as possible.
