Opportunity Summary:
The KINERJA Local Governance Service Improvement Program is a USAID/Indonesia grant opportunity designed to strengthen good governance by improving how local governments deliver public services. Issued by USAID in Jakarta under Funding Opportunity Number RFA INDONESIA 10 004, the program is structured as a Cooperative Agreement, meaning the awardee should expect active engagement and substantial involvement from USAID during implementation rather than operating entirely independently. The overarching purpose is to achieve the objectives laid out in the Request for Applications (RFA), with an emphasis on practical, measurable improvements in local governance and service performance.
USAID anticipated making a single award under this opportunity, with total funding expected to be as high as USD 27,000,000 over a 53-month period. The solicitation also set an award floor of USD 8,700,000, signaling that the intended project scope is significant and likely multi-site or multi-component. Funding was planned to be provided incrementally across the life of the agreement, which typically means the recipient would receive funds in stages based on budget periods, performance, and ongoing USAID approvals rather than receiving the full amount upfront. USAID also explicitly reserved the right to fund any, all, or none of the submitted applications, reinforcing that funding was contingent on the quality of proposals and agency priorities.
The opportunity falls under the broad activity category of "Other," with the category explanation clearly stated as Good Governance, and it is associated with CFDA 98.001 (USAID Foreign Assistance for Programs Overseas). A cost-sharing or matching requirement applies, so applicants were expected to contribute a portion of project resources, either in cash or allowable in-kind contributions, according to the terms described in the full announcement.
Eligibility was aimed at international and U.S. non-governmental organizations, indicating that experienced implementers with governance, decentralization, and service delivery backgrounds were the primary target audience. The original posting date was December 17, 2009, with a creation date of January 28, 2010. The application deadline was extended from February 11, 2010 to February 18, 2010, and the opportunity was later archived on May 31, 2010.
