Opportunity Information: Apply for BAA OAA E3 POLLUTION 2020
The Pollution Prevention and Mitigation BAA (Funding Opportunity Number: BAA OAA E3 POLLUTION 2020) is a USAID Broad Agency Announcement designed to attract new, practical, and scalable solutions to pollution challenges in low- and middle-income countries. The core idea is collaboration: USAID is looking to co-create, co-design, co-invest, and work side-by-side with partners on the research, development, piloting, and scaling of innovative interventions that reduce pollution and its impacts. The program is positioned as a way to help partner countries tackle complex, real-world pollution problems that threaten long-term development outcomes, public health, and environmental quality.
The scope is intentionally broad and includes air, water, and soil pollution, along with ocean plastic pollution and other forms of solid waste such as electronic waste. Solutions can span prevention (stopping pollution at the source), mitigation (reducing existing pollution and exposure), and systems approaches (for example, improving monitoring, management, governance, or market incentives). USAID frames the intended benefits in terms of healthier populations, cleaner environments, and inclusive, sustainable economic growth, signaling that proposals should connect environmental outcomes with development and health impacts, and ideally show how an approach could be sustained or expanded over time.
USAID is inviting a wide range of applicants without restrictions, including organizations, private companies, universities, research institutions, and investors. This open eligibility aligns with the BAA model, which is typically used when an agency wants to draw in diverse technical ideas and partnerships rather than prescribe a single narrow project design. The announcement is led by USAID's Office of Energy and Infrastructure within the Bureau for Economic Growth, Education and Environment, working in coordination with regional bureaus, the Global Health Bureau, and selected USAID Missions. That setup highlights that USAID expects pollution solutions to intersect with multiple sectors, including infrastructure, energy, urban services, and health.
Rather than being a single one-time competition with one fixed set of requirements, the opportunity is structured so that specific partnership and funding opportunities are issued through addenda under the umbrella BAA. In other words, the BAA serves as the overarching mechanism, and applicants should pay close attention to any addenda because those documents typically define the specific problem statement, target geographies, technical focus areas, submission instructions, and evaluation criteria for that particular call. The source information notes an addendum titled "New Approaches for Addressing Air Pollution" posted on February 10, 2020, and a related FAQ amendment posted on February 21, 2020, indicating that at least one focused sub-opportunity was released under the larger pollution theme.
Administrative details in the listing include CFDA 98.001 and an original closing date of February 5, 2022. The award ceiling is listed as 0 and the number of expected awards is not specified, which generally suggests that funding levels and award counts may vary by addendum or by negotiated partnership arrangements rather than being pre-set in the main BAA notice. Overall, the opportunity is best understood as an open door for innovative, collaborative pollution prevention and mitigation efforts in LMICs, with concrete funding and submission specifics provided through the addenda released under the main announcement.Apply for BAA OAA E3 POLLUTION 2020
