Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "Conflict Mitigation Activities in Kyrgyzstan" is a USAID funding announcement designed to support democracy-building efforts in Kyrgyzstan while reducing the likelihood of instability and violent conflict. The core idea behind the program is that conflict risks decrease when governance improves and when people feel there is a functioning, fair relationship between citizens and state institutions. This opportunity places special emphasis on two levels at once: targeted support in southern Kyrgyzstan, where tensions and instability risks have historically been higher, and broader national-level reforms aimed at systemic change. In practical terms, the program is meant to strengthen the social contract by helping institutions become more responsive and legitimate in the eyes of communities, and by improving how citizens and government interact around accountability, services, participation, and dispute resolution.
This announcement was issued as an Assistance Program Solicitation (APS), identified by Funding Opportunity Number APS 176 11 000001. It falls under the discretionary funding category and uses a Cooperative Agreement as the funding instrument. A cooperative agreement generally indicates that the funder expects to be substantially involved during implementation, meaning the selected recipient would likely coordinate closely with USAID throughout the life of the activity rather than operating with minimal oversight. The funding activity is categorized as conflict mitigation under CFDA 98.001, which corresponds to USAID foreign assistance for overseas programs.
Funding levels are relatively broad to allow for different-sized interventions. The award ceiling is listed at $9,000,000, with a minimum award floor of $250,000. No cost sharing or matching funds are required, which reduces barriers for applicants that might not have the ability to contribute additional non-federal resources. Eligibility is described as unrestricted, meaning the opportunity is open to a wide range of entities, as long as any additional eligibility conditions in the full announcement are met.
The timeline shows the opportunity was posted on June 24, 2011, with a creation date of July 5, 2011. The closing date remained December 30, 2011 (both the original and current closing date are the same), and the opportunity was later archived on January 29, 2012. The issuing office is listed as USAID in Almaty, Kazakhstan (Agency Name: Kazakhstan USAID Almaty), reflecting regional management arrangements at the time.
For applicants who could not access the full announcement electronically, the contact listed is Zhannat Koxalova, Acquisition Specialist, with a work phone number (87272507612) and an email referenced in the notice.
