Opportunity Summary:
The Judicial Strengthening Program is a USAID-funded, five-year initiative focused on improving the effectiveness and integrity of Kyrgyzstan's judicial system. It was released by the United States Government through the USAID Mission to the Central Asian Republics and is framed as a law, justice, and legal services activity. The central purpose is to support reforms and practical improvements that make the judiciary work better, operate more fairly, and earn greater public trust, with USAID seeking an implementing partner capable of carrying out a multi-year national program in Kyrgyzstan.
The opportunity is offered as a discretionary award under a Cooperative Agreement, which typically means USAID expects substantial involvement during implementation (for example, collaborating on technical direction, monitoring, and adaptation over the life of the program). USAID anticipates making a single award as a result of this Request for Applications, meaning one organization (or one lead organization heading a consortium) would be selected to implement the full program.
Funding is subject to availability, with USAID indicating an intended total ceiling of up to USD 5,000,000 over five years, and an award floor of USD 1. This structure signals that awards could vary in size up to the stated maximum depending on the final program design, proposed approach, and available funds. There is no cost-share or matching requirement stated, so applicants are not required to contribute their own funds as a condition of eligibility.
Eligibility is described as unrestricted, which opens the competition to a wide range of qualified entities, including US non-governmental organizations, private voluntary organizations, and local NGOs, among others, as long as they meet any additional criteria specified in the full announcement. USAID also notes it reserves the right to fund any or none of the applications submitted, a standard provision that allows the agency to decline awards if proposals do not meet technical expectations or if funding priorities change.
Key administrative details include the Funding Opportunity Number RFA 176 11 000006, CFDA number 98.001 (USAID Foreign Assistance for Programs Overseas), and an expected award count of one. The opportunity was posted on April 12, 2011, with an application closing date of May 31, 2011, and an archive date of June 30, 2011. The issuing office is listed as USAID in Almaty, Kazakhstan, reflecting the regional mission structure supporting programs in Central Asia, including Kyrgyzstan.
For access issues or questions related to the announcement, the listed point of contact is Mr. Albert Carrera (Negotiator) at acarrera@usaid.gov.
