Opportunity Summary:
The Comprehensive in-School Civic Education Program (Funding Opportunity Number APP005BIHCE) is a discretionary grant opportunity from the U.S. Department of State in Bosnia and Herzegovina (Agency: DOS-BIH) focused on education. It invites proposals to design and implement a country-wide, in-school civic education program that is integrated into the official school curriculum across Bosnia and Herzegovina. The overall aim is to strengthen civic knowledge and democratic values among young students through a structured, year-long educational program delivered in schools throughout the country.
The proposed program is intended to teach core concepts that underpin a democratic society, with specific emphasis on justice, human rights, tolerance, the constitution of Bosnia and Herzegovina, and how government functions at different administrative levels. In practical terms, applicants are expected to present a plan that can operate broadly across BiH rather than being limited to a single municipality or region, and that fits within existing curricular structures so the content is taught as part of regular schooling rather than as an optional extracurricular activity.
Funding for any single proposal is capped at an award ceiling of $400,000, so proposals need to be built around a realistic, cost-conscious implementation approach. The performance window described runs from early May 2016 through October 2017, which allows time not only for classroom delivery during the school year but also for preparation, coordination with relevant education stakeholders, teacher support or training where applicable, and wrap-up activities such as assessment, reporting, and sustainability planning.
Proposals are evaluated by the U.S. Embassy using several key criteria. Reviewers will look first at whether the submission follows the stated proposal guidelines and includes all mandatory components. They will also assess whether goals and target groups are clearly defined, whether the implementation costs are low relative to the anticipated impact, and whether the project is likely to continue or leave durable capacity after the grant period ends (sustainability). Another major factor is the applicant's demonstrated ability and organizational capacity to carry out the project throughout Bosnia and Herzegovina, which implies the need for credible nationwide coverage, coordination capability, and operational readiness.
The closing date for submission of proposals and supporting documentation is March 31, 2016 (the original and current deadline are the same). Interested applicants can request the application form in a Word document and obtain additional information by contacting SarajevoHomestayBiH@state.gov. The opportunity also provides direct contact options by phone at +387 33 704-285 and by fax at +387 33 704-432. Eligible applicants are listed broadly as "Others," with additional eligibility clarification referenced in the opportunity materials, meaning applicants should verify their eligibility details in the full guidance before preparing a submission.
