Opportunity Summary:
USAID posted a discretionary opportunity titled "Human Rights Support Mechanism" (Funding Opportunity Number: RFC OAA 15 000047; CFDA 98.001, USAID Foreign Assistance for Programs Overseas). The announcement is not a solicitation for funding and it is not accepting full proposals or applications. It is strictly a Request for Comment (RFC), meaning USAID is gathering input from interested parties to help shape or inform future programming related to human rights protection.
USAID is specifically requesting comments that speak to three connected areas of human rights protection: first, approaches for preventing human rights abuses before they occur; second, strategies for mitigating the impacts of abuses when they happen, including addressing harms to individuals and communities; and third, ideas for developing effective remedies to human rights abuses, which can include accountability, redress, and mechanisms that help victims seek justice and support. Responses should be limited to what USAID is asking for in the RFC rather than presenting a full project design, budget, or implementation plan.
The opportunity is listed as open eligibility (unrestricted), with no cost-sharing or matching requirement indicated. No award floor or ceiling is provided, which is consistent with an RFC because it is not committing to funding at this stage. The posting date and creation date are March 6, 2015, and the comment deadline is March 27, 2015, with the archive date of April 26, 2015.
For access issues or questions about the announcement itself, the point of contact listed is Taniece Baldwin, AA Specialist, reachable by phone at 202-567-5343 at USAID.
