Opportunity Summary:
The Local Capacity Initiative Program (Funding Opportunity Number RFA 517 14 000006) is a USAID Santo Domingo discretionary funding opportunity in the health sector focused on strengthening the long-term sustainability of civil society organizations (CSOs) working with HIV key populations and people living with HIV (PLHIV) in the Dominican Republic. The core purpose of the proposed intervention is to develop and begin implementing a national strategy aimed specifically at improving the sustainability of these organizations, recognizing that durable HIV prevention, care, and advocacy efforts depend heavily on capable local institutions that can continue operating effectively over time.
This award is structured as a Cooperative Agreement, which typically means USAID expects to remain substantially involved in the project’s direction and oversight compared with a standard grant. The opportunity anticipated a single award, with an estimated total funding amount of USD 500,000. The award ceiling and floor were both set at USD 500,000, indicating USAID intended to make one fixed-size award rather than a range of potential award amounts. There was no cost-sharing or matching requirement, so applicants were not required to contribute their own funds as a condition of eligibility.
Eligibility was limited to Dominican Republic-based entities and included non-governmental organizations, nonprofit organizations, and for-profit entities. The eligibility language explicitly referenced NGOs, business associations, universities, and academic institutions, suggesting USAID was open to a range of local implementers so long as they were based in the Dominican Republic and fit the additional eligibility details in the full announcement.
The opportunity was posted and created on November 21, 2014, with an application closing date of January 13, 2015. The program was later archived on March 31, 2015. The CFDA number associated with the funding was 98.001, which corresponds to USAID Foreign Assistance for Programs Overseas.
