Guidelines for Unsolicited Proposals and Reporting
The OFDA Guidelines for Unsolicited Proposals and Reporting is intended to assist organizations in the preparation of proposals for new awards and award modifications and their submission to OFDA. The manual lays out considerations relevant to the proposal review and award process and outlines the main components of an unsolicited proposal.
These guidelines also contain Additional Program Description Requirements (APDRs) for each of the humanitarian sectors that OFDA funds.

Fuel Efficient Stove (FES) Programs Toolkit |
Fuel Efficient Stove (FES) Programs Toolkit
In July 2010, USAID/OFDA released guidelines entitled, Fuel-Efficient Stove Programs in Humanitarian Settings: An Implementer’s Toolkit, detailing good practices for FES programs in immediate and protracted humanitarian contexts. Designed to lead humanitarian organizations through a step-by-step process of assessment, planning, implementation, and monitoring and evaluation of a proposed FES program, the Toolkit provides explanations of tasks to be conducted, tools to complete each task, and information on additional resources.
While the Toolkit is a comprehensive framework, the fields of stove design and testing methodologies are dynamic. Please refer to the USAID/OFDA Guidelines for Unsolicited Proposals and Reporting to determine if there are any relevant revisions or updates before submitting a proposal for funding.

Field Operations Guide
The Field Operations Guide contains information on general responsibilities for disaster responders, formats, and reference material for assessing and
reporting on populations at risk, DART position descriptions and duty checklists, sample tracking and accounting forms, descriptions of USAID/OFDA
stockpile commodities, general information related to disaster activities, information on working with the military in the field, and a glossary of
acronyms and terms used by USAID/OFDA and other organizations with which USAID/OFDA works.

address humanitarian protection, safety and security issues, working with the U.S. military, and working with USAID/OFDA's Response Management Team (RMT).
The FOG also has been cross-checked by technical specialists to ensure consistency with Sphere guidelines, and has been updated to reflect the current
USAID/OFDA organizational structure.
