Opportunity Summary:
The Citizen Engagement and Elections Project in Mongolia was a USAID discretionary grant opportunity designed to strengthen democratic participation around Mongolia's 2012 elections. The program's core purpose was to build the capacity of non-governmental organizations to deliver effective voter education and to mobilize citizens to take part in civic and political life. By helping NGOs expand their skills and reach, the project aimed to encourage a more engaged citizenry, increase civic-mindedness, and strengthen the role that civil society groups play in politics both during the election period and in the months that followed.
A central feature of the opportunity was its emphasis on technology as a practical tool for communication and information sharing. The grant sought proposals that would integrate and highlight technological approaches to improve how NGOs educate voters, disseminate reliable election-related information, and connect with citizens. Another intended result was to increase connectivity among voters themselves, using modern communication channels to broaden participation, improve access to information, and support civic action.
The opportunity was issued as a grant under the Law, Justice, and Legal Services funding activity category, with an estimated total funding amount of $450,000. USAID anticipated making two awards, with an award ceiling of $450,000 and no stated award floor. There was no cost-sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants were not required to contribute their own funds as a condition of eligibility.
Eligibility was broad and included several types of applicants: nonprofit organizations with or without 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education in that category), private institutions of higher education, small businesses, for-profit organizations other than small businesses, and individuals. The funding was listed under CFDA number 98.001, USAID Foreign Assistance for Programs Overseas.
Key dates for the announcement show it was posted on August 19, 2011, created on August 21, 2011, and had an application deadline of September 16, 2011.
