Opportunity Summary:
The 2008 Annual Program Statement for Kosovo (Funding Opportunity Number 167 08 013) is a USAID-funded cooperative agreement opportunity administered through USAID Budapest (listed under Hungary USAID Budapest). The program is designed to support activities in Kosovo that directly advance reconciliation and conflict mitigation while also strengthening basic community infrastructure, with a particular emphasis on education facilities and water and sanitation improvements. In practical terms, the solicitation is looking for implementers that can help reduce tensions, improve intercommunity relationships, and deliver tangible local benefits that reinforce stability and social cohesion.
The APS lays out four main program areas that applicants are expected to align with. The first is Leadership Dialogue, which generally refers to structured engagement among political, civic, and community leaders to address disputes, build trust, and encourage cooperative problem-solving across group lines. The second is Youth Reconciliation, aimed at young people as a key audience for reducing long-term conflict drivers, typically through joint activities, dialogue, civic engagement, and initiatives that create meaningful contact and shared goals among youth from different communities. The third area is Small Infrastructure for Education, which focuses on smaller-scale construction, rehabilitation, or upgrades that improve the learning environment, access, or safety of educational spaces. The fourth area is Small Infrastructure for Water and Sanitation, covering modest community infrastructure projects that expand or repair water supply and sanitation systems, often chosen because they provide immediate quality-of-life benefits and can serve as a neutral platform for collaboration among groups that may otherwise be divided.
USAID anticipated making up to four awards under this announcement. The funding details as provided indicate an estimated total funding amount of $18,200,000, with an award ceiling of $18,200,000 and an award floor also listed as $18,200,000. As written, that suggests the solicitation may have been structured around a single total funding level, even though multiple awards were expected, so applicants would typically need to read the full announcement to understand how USAID intended to allocate funding across awards and whether the figures reflect the overall program ceiling rather than per-award amounts. The opportunity is tied to CFDA 98.001, USAID Foreign Assistance for Programs Overseas, which is the standard assistance listing used for many USAID overseas programs.
The solicitation required cost sharing or matching, meaning applicants were expected to contribute a portion of resources toward program implementation, either in cash or allowable in-kind contributions, consistent with USAID assistance rules and whatever percentage or structure the full APS specified. Eligibility was described as unrestricted, open to any type of entity, subject to any additional eligibility details in the full text of the announcement. The funding instrument type is a cooperative agreement, which generally indicates substantial involvement by the U.S. Government during implementation, such as collaboration on technical direction, approvals, or coordination requirements, as opposed to a more hands-off grant.
Timing was organized around multiple submission windows. The opportunity was posted on May 23, 2008, and offered three closing dates: a first closing date of July 23, 2008; a second closing date of September 23, 2008; and a final closing date of November 24, 2008. The archive date was December 24, 2008. This kind of rolling or phased deadline structure typically allows applicants to submit in earlier rounds for earlier consideration, while still keeping later windows open for additional or revised applications.
