Opportunity Summary:

The CMM Reconciliation Fund Annual Program Statement (APS), Funding Opportunity Number APS OAA 13 000002, was a USAID Bureau for Democracy, Conflict, and Humanitarian Assistance (DCHA) Office of Conflict Management and Mitigation (CMM) competitive grant opportunity for fiscal year 2013. It was issued as a discretionary grant solicitation under CFDA 98.001 (USAID Foreign Assistance for Programs Overseas) and focused on supporting conflict mitigation and reconciliation programs and activities. In practical terms, the APS functioned as an annual umbrella solicitation that invited concept-driven proposals aimed at reducing violent conflict, easing tensions, and strengthening reconciliation processes in priority contexts identified by USAID.

The total estimated funding available under the announcement was up to $16,000,000, with an award ceiling also listed at $16,000,000 and an award floor of $0, which signals that proposed award sizes could vary widely depending on the idea, scope, and available funds. Cost sharing or matching was not required, lowering the barrier for applicants that may not have had the ability to provide additional non-federal resources. The opportunity was posted and created on February 1, 2013, with an original and current closing date of March 11, 2013, and it was archived on April 10, 2013.

Eligibility was broadly listed as "Others," meaning that the applicant pool was not limited only to a narrow category like U.S. nonprofits or universities in the summary record. However, the solicitation emphasized that to be competitive, applications needed to be fully responsive to all instructions in the APS and also align with specific mission-focused priorities described in Attachment 1. That detail is important because it indicates proposals were not judged solely on general conflict mitigation value, but on how well they matched USAID mission needs and geographic or thematic focus points laid out in the attachment.

Applicants that had trouble accessing the full announcement were directed to contact the Agreement Officer listed in the notice, Stephanie E. Fugate. Overall, this APS was a time-bound FY13 USAID CMM grant opportunity designed to fund targeted interventions that address drivers of conflict and promote reconciliation, with selection hinging on strict responsiveness to APS requirements and mission-specific priorities.
