Opportunity Summary:
The Civic Education Initiative (Funding Opportunity Number RFA 114-14-000004) was a USAID/Georgia (USAID Tbilisi) discretionary funding opportunity designed to strengthen school-based civic education for older secondary students in grades 9 through 12. The core idea was to expand the availability and quality of civics programming inside schools so that young people develop stronger civic knowledge, practical participation skills, and a deeper, longer-term commitment to participatory democracy. In other words, the program aimed to help students understand how democratic institutions work, how citizens can engage constructively in public life, and how to take part in civic and community processes in informed and responsible ways.
A central secondary objective was to weave gender equality into civics-oriented learning and related activities. By intentionally addressing gender roles and women’s participation as part of civic education, USAID expected the program to influence student attitudes about women in public engagement. Over time, this attitudinal shift was intended to contribute to broader inclusion of women in political and civic processes, supporting a more representative democratic culture.
The award instrument was a Cooperative Agreement, which typically means the donor anticipated substantial involvement during implementation (for example, coordination on work planning, monitoring, and key deliverables). The funding activity category was Education, and the opportunity required cost sharing or matching, meaning applicants were expected to contribute a portion of project resources in addition to USAID funds.
The opportunity listed a single award amount with both an award ceiling and award floor of $3,500,000, indicating the anticipated award size was $3.5 million. Eligibility was described as unrestricted (open to any type of entity), subject to any additional clarifications contained in the full announcement materials. The opportunity was posted and created on February 18, 2014, with an original and current closing date of April 2, 2014, and it was archived on May 2, 2014. For full details, applicants were directed to the complete announcement and attachments on Grants.gov, and the listed point of contact for access issues was Ekaterine Gamezardashvili, Acquisition Specialist, at +995 32 2544 122 (email: egamezardashvili).
