Opportunity Summary:
The Iraq Anti Corruption Assistance Program was a U.S. Department of State funding opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NEA 09 IRAQ ASSIST 07 23 09) released through the Iraq Assistance Office to support efforts in Iraq aimed at strengthening anti-corruption systems and encouraging the growth of a more capable civil society. The program was set up to fund technical assistance projects that could help Iraqi institutions and stakeholders prevent, detect, and respond to corruption, while also reinforcing broader civic oversight and accountability mechanisms. The Department of State framed this notice as a public, open solicitation intended to give all interested organizations an equal chance to compete, and it emphasized that submitting a proposal was voluntary and would not obligate the U.S. government to fund any project or reimburse proposal development costs.
Funding was offered under a cooperative agreement mechanism (a structure that typically implies substantial involvement by the funding agency during implementation). The opportunity was categorized under foreign assistance and tied to CFDA 19.016 (Iraq Assistance Program). The Department anticipated making about three awards, with an estimated total program funding level of $10,000,000. Individual awards were expected to range from a floor of $500,000 up to a ceiling of $5,000,000, and there was no cost-sharing or matching requirement stated.
Eligibility was broad. Both U.S. and non-U.S. organizations could apply, including non-governmental organizations and both nonprofit and for-profit entities, as long as they were qualified and brought the functional expertise needed for the program areas described in the full announcement. A key operational consideration was that project performance could require travel to and from Iraq, and applicants were expected to accept that security conditions and personal protection requirements would follow current Department of State policies and the additional guidance in the announcement.
To help potential applicants understand the requirements and ask questions, the Department of State scheduled a pre-proposal conference call for Monday, August 24, 2009 at 9:00 AM Eastern Daylight Time. Participants could join via a U.S. toll-free line (1-888-677-1761) or from outside the U.S. (1-210-839-7620, toll charges applied), using conference code 3694738. An audio transcript of the pre-proposal discussion was also made available afterward by phone at 1-866-360-3308. The opportunity was posted July 24, 2009, and the application closing date was August 31, 2009, with the listing later archived on September 30, 2009.
For access issues and assistance, the announcement listed a contact: LinAn Bartlett, Program Assistant, at 202-736-4797, with the note indicating this contact point was also used for inquiries and proposal submission based on the full announcement instructions.
