Opportunity Summary:
The Iraq Community Action Program, Phase III (CAP III) is a USAID-funded grant opportunity run through the USAID mission in Baghdad that aims to support community-driven development across Iraq. The core idea of the program is to strengthen citizen participation in local decision-making, help communities identify and prioritize their own needs, and connect those community priorities to local government action. In addition to civic participation and local governance support, CAP III also includes assistance for innocent victims of military operations, indicating a humanitarian and stabilization component alongside the governance and community engagement work.
This opportunity was posted on May 30, 2008 (created June 23, 2008) under Funding Opportunity Number APS 267 08 002. It is categorized as a discretionary funding opportunity and would be implemented using a cooperative agreement, which generally means USAID expects substantial involvement during implementation (for example, collaboration on work planning, monitoring, and technical direction) rather than a more hands-off grant. The activity category is listed as "Other," with clarification that the focus is international development work with communities in Iraq.
USAID anticipated making up to five awards under this solicitation. The estimated total funding available across all awards was $100,000,000, with an award ceiling of $20,000,000 per award and no stated award floor. The program includes a cost-sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants would need to contribute a portion of project costs from non-federal sources, according to the terms laid out in the full announcement.
Eligibility was limited to U.S.-based organizations, specifically U.S. Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) or U.S. Private Voluntary Organizations (PVOs). Interested applicants were directed to Grants.gov for full application materials and instructions. The original and final application deadline was September 30, 2008, and the opportunity was archived on October 30, 2008.
