Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity is a U.S. Department of State program issued by the Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights and Labor (DRL) seeking project proposals focused on countering the recruitment and use of child soldiers in Yemen. The central aim is to support and strengthen locally driven Yemeni efforts that prevent, address, and respond to the involvement of children in armed conflict. The opportunity explicitly targets recruitment and use by both non-governmental armed groups and, where applicable, government security forces, reflecting a broad approach to the problem across different conflict actors. Any resulting award is contingent on the availability of funding.
The funding mechanism is a discretionary grant under CFDA 19.345 (International Programs to Support Democracy, Human Rights and Labor). DRL anticipated making one award under this solicitation, with an estimated funding range (award floor to ceiling) of $400,000 to $600,000. Cost sharing or matching is not required, which means applicants are not obligated to provide non-federal funds as a condition of competitiveness or eligibility. This can lower barriers for organizations that have strong technical capacity and local partnerships but limited unrestricted funding.
Eligible applicants include a wide range of organization types: nonprofit organizations (including both 501(c)(3) and nonprofits without 501(c)(3) status, as long as they are not institutions of higher education), for-profit organizations other than small businesses, small businesses, public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, and private institutions of higher education. In practice, this eligibility structure allows NGOs, universities, research entities, and private implementers to compete, provided they can credibly demonstrate programmatic capability and an approach that meaningfully empowers Yemeni stakeholders.
The announcement was posted and created on December 19, 2014, with an application deadline of February 19, 2015. The opportunity was later archived on March 21, 2015. The funding opportunity number is DRLA-DRLAQM-15-026. Applicants seeking the full announcement were directed to Grants.gov, with support available through the Grants.gov Contact Center (phone 1-800-518-4726, email support@grants.gov), indicating that the full requirements, application package, and submission instructions were administered through the federal grants portal.
Programmatically, DRL framed this solicitation around empowering local Yemeni efforts rather than substituting for them, signaling that proposals would likely be expected to show strong collaboration with Yemeni civil society, community leaders, service providers, and other local actors. While the brief description does not list specific allowable activities, the focus area implies interventions such as community-based prevention and awareness initiatives, capacity building for local organizations to monitor and respond to recruitment risks, support systems for children affected by armed recruitment and use, and mechanisms that strengthen accountability and protective practices. The emphasis on addressing recruitment and use by both armed groups and security forces suggests that proposals could include work that promotes protective policies, strengthens child protection networks, and improves coordination among local stakeholders working on child rights and civilian protection in conflict settings.
