Opportunity Summary:
The LGBTI Inclusion Project (Funding Opportunity Number RFA 165 16 000004) is a discretionary USAID-Macedonia funding opportunity intended to support a program focused on improving LGBTI inclusion in Macedonia. The award will be made as a cooperative agreement, which typically means USAID expects to remain actively involved during implementation (for example, through collaboration on planning, monitoring, and key decisions), rather than simply providing funds with minimal agency engagement. The opportunity is categorized under Community Development, signaling that the funded work is expected to have practical, community-level outcomes tied to inclusion, participation, and social conditions.
Eligibility is restricted to local organizations based in Macedonia, and the announcement specifically indicates that only Macedonian organizations are expected to apply. The eligible applicant category is listed as "Others" with a note to consult the detailed eligibility section in the full announcement for clarification, but the headline restriction is clear: this is not an open international competition and is meant to strengthen locally led implementation. USAID anticipates making one award under this solicitation, which suggests a single organization (or a local lead applicant, potentially working with partners) will be selected to carry out the overall program.
The maximum award amount is capped at USD 300,000, setting the upper limit for the total project budget USAID will support under this cooperative agreement. The opportunity was created and posted on March 1, 2016, and the application deadline (original and current) is April 14, 2016. In short, this is a single-award USAID Macedonia solicitation for a locally implemented community development initiative aimed at advancing LGBTI inclusion, with funding up to $300,000 and a mid-April 2016 submission deadline.
