Opportunity Summary:
The Moldova Partnerships for Sustainable Civil Society project (MPSCS) is a USAID grant opportunity designed to strengthen Moldova's civil society so it can better represent citizens' interests, participate meaningfully in public life, and maintain its long-term democratic role. The core aim is capacity-building: helping civil society organizations in Moldova become more effective, better organized, and more sustainable, while also improving the quality of engagement between civil society and government. In practical terms, the opportunity targets the ability of Moldovan CSOs to influence policymaking, advocate for public interests, and operate as credible, durable institutions that contribute to a more vibrant civic sector.
This opportunity was issued by USAID (listed under USAID Kiev/Ukraine) as a discretionary funding opportunity using a cooperative agreement, which typically means the funder expects substantial involvement during implementation compared to a standard grant. The total estimated funding is USD 6,300,000, with an award ceiling of USD 6,300,000 and an expected number of awards of one, indicating USAID anticipated selecting a single main implementer to run the project at scale. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, so applicants were not required to contribute their own funds as a condition of award.
Eligibility is described as unrestricted, meaning it was open to any type of entity unless further limited by the formal eligibility requirements in the full solicitation (Section III of the RFA is referenced for the specific rules). The program is associated with CFDA number 98.001, USAID Foreign Assistance for Programs Overseas, which is the standard listing for many USAID-funded international assistance activities.
Key timing information shows the announcement was posted on August 16, 2013, with a closing date of October 15, 2013, and it was later archived on November 14, 2013.
