Opportunity Summary:
The USAID mission in Serbia is offering a discretionary funding opportunity called "Activity to Support Citizen Engagement in Elections-Serbia" (Funding Opportunity Number RFA 169 16 000004). The opportunity is designed to support a community development-focused activity that strengthens citizen engagement in the electoral process in Serbia. While the public synopsis provided is brief, the title and activity category indicate the program is intended to encourage informed participation, improve public involvement around elections, and help citizens engage constructively with election-related processes and institutions.
Funding will be provided through a Cooperative Agreement, which typically means the awardee should expect substantial involvement from USAID during implementation, such as collaboration on work planning, monitoring, coordination with stakeholders, and other areas where the agency plays an active partnership role beyond standard grant oversight. The total funding available is capped at an award ceiling of $450,000, and USAID expects to make one award, suggesting a single implementer will be selected to carry out the core set of planned activities under this initiative.
The opportunity was created and posted on February 4, 2016, with an application closing date of February 29, 2016 (the original and current closing dates are the same, indicating no extension in the listing). The eligible applicant category is listed broadly as "Others," with further clarification referenced as being available in an additional eligibility section in the full announcement. In practice, this kind of eligibility label often covers nontraditional or non-governmental applicants such as local civil society organizations, non-profits, community-based organizations, or other entities permitted under the full solicitation, but applicants would need to confirm the exact requirements in the official notice.
In short, this is a single-award USAID/Serbia cooperative agreement opportunity, capped at $450,000, aimed at supporting citizen engagement in elections as part of broader community development objectives, with applications due by February 29, 2016.
