Opportunity Summary:
The Kosovo Assembly Strengthening Program (KASP) is a USAID-funded grant opportunity aimed at supporting and improving the effectiveness of Kosovo's Assembly, with the broader purpose of strengthening democratic governance and legislative institutions. The opportunity was issued by USAID through its Budapest platform (listed as "Hungary USAID Budapest") and is structured as a cooperative agreement, which typically means the implementing partner would work closely with USAID throughout the life of the project, with substantial involvement from the agency in planning, oversight, and key implementation decisions.
This announcement was posted on April 15, 2009, with an application closing date of May 21, 2009, and it was later archived on June 20, 2009. The funding opportunity number is 167 09 012 and it is categorized under an "Other" funding activity classification, with the title explicitly identifying the effort as the Kosovo Assembly Strengthening Program. The assistance listing is tied to CFDA 98.001, which is the standard USAID Foreign Assistance for Programs Overseas designation, signaling that the program is part of USAID's international development assistance portfolio rather than a domestic U.S. program.
Financially, the opportunity was designed as a single-award program, with one expected award and an estimated total funding amount of $4,500,000. The award structure is unusually fixed: the ceiling and the floor are both listed as $4,500,000, indicating that USAID anticipated making one cooperative agreement at that exact funding level, rather than selecting among multiple budget ranges or negotiating widely varying award sizes. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants were not required to contribute their own funds as a condition of eligibility or competitiveness, which often broadens access to a wider range of capable organizations, including those without large private fundraising capacity.
Eligibility is described as unrestricted, open to any type of entity, subject to any additional clarifications that may have been included in the full announcement. In practice, unrestricted eligibility usually allows applications from nonprofits, for-profits, universities, and potentially other qualified organizations, provided they meet USAID's standard compliance, responsibility, and capacity requirements. Because the instrument is a cooperative agreement, applicants would generally be expected to demonstrate strong technical expertise in legislative strengthening or governance programs, credible implementation approaches, and robust financial and administrative systems suitable for managing U.S. government foreign assistance funds.
For applicants or interested parties who had trouble accessing the full announcement electronically, the listing provides a point of contact. The named contact is Riffat Sulaiman (Acquisition and Assistance), and the USAID help desk email support@usaid.gov is included for technical access issues, along with a phone number (4754281) as provided in the source data.
