Opportunity Information: Apply for 263 RFI 17 00001
The University Centers for Career Development (UCCD) opportunity is a USAID/Egypt (USAID-Cairo) request for information and feedback tied to a draft program concept focused on education and career development within the university context. Rather than functioning as a finalized solicitation for immediate funding, it is positioned as a market-sounding and design-shaping step: USAID is using this notice to identify what kinds of organizations may be interested in participating and to collect substantive comments on the attached Draft Program Description (PD). The goal is to use that input to refine and strengthen the eventual program design so that the activity is practical, responsive, and effective once formally launched.
This opportunity is listed under the title "University Centers for Career Development (UCCD)" with the funding opportunity number "263 RFI 17 00001" and is categorized as "Other" for both the opportunity category and the funding instrument type, which aligns with its nature as an RFI (request for information) rather than a standard grant competition. The funding activity category is Education, and it is associated with CFDA number 98.001, a common identifier used for USAID foreign assistance-related opportunities. The posting date is November 13, 2016, and the original closing date is December 1, 2016, indicating a relatively short window intended for submitting interest statements and program comments while the concept is still being shaped.
Eligibility is described as "unrestricted," meaning the notice is open to any type of entity, with the caveat that applicants should pay attention to any additional eligibility clarifications that might be included in the full text. In practice, this typically allows a wide range of potential respondents to weigh in, such as universities, nonprofit organizations, private sector firms, training providers, consortiums, and other stakeholders with relevant experience in career services, workforce readiness, employer engagement, internships, job placement support, or university-industry linkages.
Although the notice includes fields like an award ceiling of 1 and expected awards of 1, the central emphasis of the description is not on making an award at this stage. Instead, the key takeaway is that USAID/Egypt is seeking two things: first, a clearer picture of the landscape of capable and interested organizations; and second, specific feedback on the draft PD to help improve the final design. In other words, the agency is inviting informed critique and practical suggestions that can influence the structure of the future activity, potentially including how university career centers might be organized, what services they should prioritize, how they should partner with employers, what performance indicators make sense, and what implementation risks or constraints should be addressed early.
Overall, UCCD is best understood as an early-stage program development step for an education-to-employment style initiative in Egypt, led by USAID-Cairo. The notice signals USAID intent to build or strengthen career development centers at universities and, before finalizing the program requirements, to consult the field to ensure the resulting program description is realistic, targeted, and likely to produce measurable career outcomes for university students and graduates.Apply for 263 RFI 17 00001
