Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "Assistance to Internally Displaced Persons and Returnees in Kabul Province" is a USAID Office of U.S. Foreign Disaster Assistance (USAID/OFDA) funding announcement focused on humanitarian support in Afghanistan, specifically Kabul Province. The program is rooted in OFDA's broader mandate to save lives, reduce human suffering, and limit the economic impact of disasters. For FY 2008/2009, USAID/OFDA set a strategic priority to address urgent, basic needs among internally displaced persons (IDPs) and returnee populations in Kabul Province, covering both longstanding caseloads and more recently displaced or returned groups. The activity category is listed under housing, signaling an emphasis on shelter and related essential living support for crisis-affected households.
This is a discretionary grant opportunity issued under Funding Opportunity Number OFDA FY08 001 APS, with assistance listed under CFDA 98.001 (USAID Foreign Assistance for Programs Overseas). USAID anticipated making around five awards under this announcement. The total estimated funding available across all awards was $16,000,000. Each individual award was set with a fixed funding level: an award floor of $3,200,000 and an award ceiling of $3,200,000, meaning awards were expected to be approximately $3.2 million each.
Eligibility was broadly defined as unrestricted, meaning the competition was open to any type of applicant entity, subject to any additional eligibility clarifications that may have appeared in the full announcement text. There was no cost-sharing or matching requirement, which generally lowers the barrier to entry for applicants that may not have flexible funds to contribute alongside donor resources.
The opportunity was posted on December 21, 2007, with a creation date of January 11, 2008. The application window originally closed on June 21, 2008, and the current closing date remained June 21, 2008, indicating no extension. The opportunity was archived on July 21, 2008.
