Opportunity Summary:
The BERSAMA - Gender Based Violence Prevention Program in Eastern Indonesia is a USAID/Indonesia funding opportunity focused on reducing and preventing gender-based violence (GBV) in Eastern Indonesia. Issued as a Request for Applications (RFA 497 16 000006), it invites proposals from qualified non-governmental organizations, including both U.S.-based and non-U.S entities, to design and implement a prevention-oriented program. The activity is positioned under an "Other" category for both the opportunity type and funding activity classification, which typically signals a specialized program design that may cut across multiple sectors (such as health, protection, community development, and governance) rather than fitting neatly into a single standard funding category.
The award will be made using a Cooperative Agreement, meaning USAID expects to be substantially involved during implementation, not just as a funder but as a partner that may provide technical direction, approve key workplan elements, and collaborate on strategy and learning. The total funding ceiling for the award is $7,400,000, and USAID anticipates making one award, indicating a single implementer (or a lead organization managing a consortium) will likely be responsible for the full program scope across the targeted geography. The opportunity falls under CFDA 98.001, which is commonly used for USAID foreign assistance activities.
In terms of timing, the opportunity was created and posted on February 2, 2016, with an application closing date of March 24, 2016 (no later extension reflected in the listing). Eligible applicants are broadly described as "Others," with further details referenced as being in an additional eligibility section in the full announcement, but the headline eligibility statement makes clear that both U.S. and non-U.S NGOs were invited to apply. Overall, this opportunity represents a sizable, single-award USAID program designed to support targeted, on-the-ground GBV prevention efforts in Eastern Indonesia through an implementer capable of managing a complex, multi-stakeholder intervention in partnership with USAID.
