Description
1) Objective
The U.S. Department of State, Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor (DRL) announces an open competition for organizations interested in submitting applications for projects that will defend and protect human rights; counter threats to democratic institutions; and address discrimination, inequity, and marginalization in all its forms.
DRL will award an overarching cooperative agreement to a consortium of eight NGOs with thematic and global reach (“Consortium”), to collaborate on the execution of individual projects in which “action-forcing events” have triggered the need for intervention to counter or prevent the closing of democratic space and/or where progress in erecting democratic institutions and establishing the rule of law is in jeopardy. “Action-forcing events” are defined as but not limited to: snap elections, unexpected change in government leadership, upticks in violence/crackdown on civil society; new legislation that would have a significant impact on fundamental freedoms, and rapid deterioration of the media environment. However, as this is a cooperative agreement, both the Consortium and DRL may present potential causes for intervention as the in-country context, globally, requires it.
2) Eligibility
Eligible applicants include U.S.-based and foreign-based non-profit organizations/NGOs, public international organizations, private, public, or state institutions of higher education, and for-profit organizations or businesses. DRL prefers to work with non-profit entities, but for-profit entities may be considered under certain conditions. For-profit entities may be subject to additional review and are prohibited from profiting from assistance awards.
3) Location
Actions can take place worldwide.
4) Budget
The funding opportunity has an award ceiling and floor of $7,250,000. There is no requirement for cost sharing or matching.
5) Application
Applications are open until March 05, 2024. Proposals should align with the program’s objectives of defending human rights, countering threats to democracy, and addressing various forms of discrimination and marginalization. Applicants must ensure compliance with eligibility criteria and prepare proposals that effectively address these global challenges. Further application guidelines and forms can be accessed through the link provided in the announcement or by contacting the DRL at the provided email address.
