Opportunity Summary:
The Kosovo Partnership for Sustainable Resettlement of Roma, Ashkali, and Egyptian (PSR RAE) Communities Program was a USAID-funded grant opportunity focused on supporting sustainable resettlement outcomes for three historically marginalized groups in Kosovo: Roma, Ashkali, and Egyptian communities. The program was positioned as a partnership-oriented initiative, suggesting an emphasis on coordinated, practical solutions that help displaced or returning families settle in stable conditions and rebuild their lives in a durable way. While the summary data does not spell out specific technical components, the title and framing point to activities commonly associated with long-term resettlement efforts, such as helping communities transition from temporary or precarious living arrangements to more secure housing and access to essential services, and strengthening the local capacity needed to keep those gains in place.
Administratively, this opportunity was issued by USAID (Hungary USAID Budapest) and carried the funding opportunity number 167 08 019. It used a Cooperative Agreement as the funding instrument, which usually means USAID anticipated substantial involvement during implementation, such as close coordination on work planning, monitoring, and technical direction, rather than a more hands-off relationship typical of some grants. The funding activity category was listed as "Other," with the category explanation reiterating the program title, indicating the work did not fit neatly into a single standard sector label in the posting.
The announcement anticipated a single award (ExpectedAwards: 1), meaning USAID planned to select one implementing partner to lead the full program rather than splitting the budget among multiple recipients. The total estimated funding was $2,400,000, and both the award floor and award ceiling were also set at $2,400,000. That structure strongly implies an all-or-nothing award at a fixed amount: the selected applicant would receive one award for the full $2.4 million, rather than a range of possible award sizes. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, so applicants were not required to contribute their own funds as a condition of eligibility, although applicants could still have proposed leveraging other resources if permitted under the full notice.
Eligibility was described as "Unrestricted," meaning it was open to any type of entity, subject to any additional clarifications that might have appeared in the full announcement text. In practical terms, opportunities like this often attract applications from non-governmental organizations, international organizations, or other entities with experience managing donor-funded programs in post-conflict or transitional settings, and with demonstrated capacity to work with vulnerable or minority populations in ways that reduce discrimination and promote equitable access to services.
Key dates show the opportunity was posted on July 22, 2008, with an original and current closing date of September 3, 2008, and it was archived on October 3, 2008. The CFDA number associated with the opportunity was 98.001, labeled as USAID Foreign Assistance for Programs Overseas, which is the broad assistance listing typically used for overseas development and humanitarian programming. For applicant support, the posting provided a point of contact for access issues (Riffat Sulaiman, Acquisition and Assistance) and directed technical platform issues to the USAID help desk at support@usaid.gov.
