ANNUAL PROGRAMME STATEMENT OF USAID FUNDED ACTIVITIES SUPPORTING THE CIVIL SOCIETY STRENGTHENING PROGRAMME

On 9 March 2001, Creative Associates International, Inc., known locally as CREA SA, publicized on this website the availability of an Annual Programme Statement (APS) to qualified South African Non-Profit
Organisations (NPOs) to submit applications for funding under the
USAID Civil Society Strengthening Programme (CSSP). The notice had
indicated that applications would be accepted up to one year of the issuance date of the Annual Programme Statement, 9 March 2002.

The purpose of this announcement is:

1)to bring an early closure to the Annual Programme Statement with immediate effect

2)to close off the acceptance of applications under this
Annual Programme Statement and

3)to announce that a new Annual Programme Statement for the CSSP will be released early in 2002.

This action is necessary because funds available for this year have already been exhausted. This notice supersedes paragraph IV of the APS.

Any organization whose application has not yet been evaluated may elect to resubmit a new or revised application as soon as the new APS is announced. Conversely, all applications still pending will
automatically be included in the first round of application under the new APS.
