Opportunity Summary:
The funding opportunity titled "Civil Society Participation in Haitis Budgetary Process" (Funding Opportunity Number SOL 521 14 000004) is a USAID/Haiti solicitation managed by the Office of Governing, Justly and Democratically in Port au Prince. It is structured as a cooperative agreement, meaning the recipient would typically implement the program while coordinating closely with USAID during execution. The overall intent is to fund an 18-month effort that strengthens the role of civil society in promoting greater transparency and accountability in how public money is planned, allocated, and overseen in Haiti, with a specific emphasis on the national budget process.
At the core of the opportunity is the idea that citizens and civil society organizations can play a more active and informed role in public finance decisions when they have the tools, knowledge, and access needed to participate. USAID is seeking applications that focus on increasing citizen participation and engagement in Haitis national budgeting process, which can include the stages where a budget is prepared, debated, approved, implemented, and monitored. In practical terms, this kind of program typically supports activities that help people understand budget information, creates channels for public input, and strengthens watchdog efforts that track whether spending aligns with approved plans and public priorities. The stated program purpose is not simply awareness-raising, but measurable improvements in transparency and accountability related to financial matters.
Financially, the opportunity has an estimated total funding amount of USD 400,000, with an award ceiling of USD 400,000 and an award floor of USD 0. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, so applicants are not required to contribute their own funds as a condition of eligibility. The CFDA listing provided is 98.004, identified as Non Governmental Organization Strengthening (NGO), which aligns with the focus on bolstering local civil society capacity to engage government systems and advocate for open, accountable governance.
Eligibility is explicitly limited to local organizations only, so it is not designed for international NGOs or foreign entities to lead. This restriction signals a deliberate emphasis on locally driven approaches and local ownership, with Haitian organizations expected to design and implement the activities and to build partnerships across civil society and, where feasible, with relevant government stakeholders involved in budgeting and public financial management. The opportunity category and activity category are labeled as "Other," clarified as civil society participation in Haitis budgetary process, reinforcing that the grant is designed around governance and public finance participation rather than a traditional sector label.
The solicitation was posted and created on January 31, 2014, and the closing date was February 6, 2014 at 12:00 noon local time in Port au Prince, Haiti, indicating a short application window. For access issues related to the full announcement, the contact listed is Myriam Geffrard, an Acquisition and Assistance Specialist at USAID, reachable by phone at 509 2 229 8844. Overall, the grant aims to fund a time-bound, focused initiative that helps civil society and citizens engage more effectively in Haitis national budget process as a pathway to improved transparency and accountability in public financial governance.
