Opportunity Summary:
KONBAT VYOLANS is a USAID/Haiti funding opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number RFA 521 16 000005) aimed at strengthening efforts to prevent gender-based violence (GBV) in Haiti while also improving survivor-centered services and the referral pathways that connect survivors to the help they need. The opportunity focuses on making GBV prevention more effective and ensuring that survivors can access coordinated, high-quality support across medical, psychosocial, legal, and protection services. In practice, this kind of objective typically involves reinforcing how organizations identify, assist, and refer survivors so that services are not fragmented, delayed, or unsafe, and so that survivors are supported in ways that prioritize confidentiality, informed choice, dignity, and safety.
The award is structured as a Cooperative Agreement, which generally means the funder expects to be more actively involved than it would be under a standard grant. Under a cooperative agreement, the implementing partner usually works closely with USAID on technical direction, coordination, monitoring, and adaptation over the life of the project. The opportunity is listed under an "Other" funding activity category, indicating it does not fit neatly into a single standard program area and may span multiple sectors and systems (for example, health, protection, justice, and community-based prevention) to build a functioning GBV response network.
USAID/Haiti is the issuing agency (USAID-HAI), and the assistance listing is identified with CFDA Number 98.001. The funding opportunity was created and posted on February 5, 2016, with an original and current closing date of March 18, 2016, meaning applicants had a little over a month to prepare and submit proposals. USAID anticipated making one award under this solicitation, with an award ceiling of $3,923,000. With a single expected award and a defined ceiling, the design suggests USAID intended to select one lead implementer to coordinate and deliver a cohesive approach rather than splitting funding across multiple independent projects.
Eligibility is described as "Others" with additional eligibility details referenced elsewhere in the full announcement. In government funding listings, that wording usually signals that eligibility may be limited to specific types of organizations or entities (for example, local or international non-profits, NGOs, or other qualified organizations) and that applicants need to consult the complete solicitation package for the exact rules, required registrations, and any restrictions or preferences.
Overall, the KONBAT VYOLANS opportunity is centered on improving both prevention of GBV and the real-world functionality of survivor support systems in Haiti. The emphasis on survivor-centered services and referral pathways indicates a priority on practical access and continuity of care, so survivors can move safely and efficiently from first contact to appropriate services without having to navigate a confusing or risky system on their own.
