Description
1) Objective
The United States Agency for International Development in Democratic Republic of Congo (USAID/DRC) is seeking applications for a Fixed Amount Award (FAA) Cooperative Agreement to implement the USAID Maisha Bora Activity. Gender-based violence (GBV) in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) is widespread and deeply anchored in unequal social norms that disproportionately affect women, girls, and sexual and gender minorities.
The persistent scarcity of basic resources and decades of violent conflict and instability exacerbate the issue, intensifying the atrocious violations and crimes perpetrated against women and children. The issue is more pronounced in the provinces of North Kivu, South Kivu, and Ituri where a breakdown of the rule of law, security institutions, economic life, social capital, and gender roles due to the conflict has seen an alarming surge in GBV cases.
2) Eligibility
Eligibility for this award is restricted to local entities, as defined in ADS 303.6, based in the Democratic Republic of Congo.
3) Location
Actions must take place in Democratic Republic of the Congo.
4) Budget
The estimated total program funding available is $15,000,000 for one award.
5) Application
The application deadline is 15 November 2024.
