## What the grant funds

USAID LPF will advance USAID DRC localization agenda by addressing competition requirements and allowing an open solicitation process to receive concepts for partnering with local organizations and increasing their ability to generate and achieve locally led solutions to major development challenges, and by providing direct awards to local organizations to implement activities. USAID LPF will work in tandem with USAID Localization Capacity Strengthening Mechanism to respond to capacity building needs in partner organizations and help to strengthen the abilities of local partners beyond the donor-awardee relationship in a way that guarantees consistency, mutual accountability, and sustainability.
