Opportunity Summary:
USAID, operating through its Regional Contracting Office in Kosovo (USAID Pristina), announced a discretionary funding opportunity to support a program called the "New Reconciliation Activity in Bosnia and Herzegovina." The award is structured as a Cooperative Agreement, which typically means USAID expects to stay actively involved during implementation (for example, through collaboration on planning, oversight, and technical direction), rather than simply issuing a grant with minimal engagement. The legal authority cited for the solicitation is the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961, as amended, and the assistance listing is CFDA 98.001, which covers USAID foreign assistance for overseas programs.
The opportunity anticipates making a single award with a total estimated funding amount of $3,600,000. Notably, the award floor and ceiling are both listed as $3,600,000, signaling that USAID expected one project at that exact funding level rather than a range of possible budgets. Cost sharing or matching is required, so applicants would need to contribute some portion of project costs through their own funds or allowable third-party contributions, consistent with the terms described in the full RFA.
Eligibility is limited to specific applicant types: qualified U.S. Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs), U.S. Private Voluntary Organizations (PVOs), and Public International Organizations (PIOs). In practice, this means the competition was not open to all entities; it targeted experienced implementers capable of running reconciliation-focused programming in Bosnia and Herzegovina and meeting USAID compliance, reporting, and performance management expectations. The funding activity category is labeled as "Reconciliation," indicating the program focus is on reconciliation-related outcomes (the detailed goals and expected results are referenced as being in Section I, the Program Description, of the RFA).
Key dates show the announcement was posted May 24, 2013, with an application deadline of July 1, 2013 at 9:00 AM local time, and an archive date of July 31, 2013. Applicants were encouraged to read the full Request for Applications carefully to understand the program design USAID was seeking, the required application components, and how proposals would be evaluated. The selected recipient would be responsible for delivering the program and ensuring achievement of USAID’s stated objectives and outcomes.
For access issues or questions tied to the announcement, the point of contact listed is Viktoria Hollosy, Acquisition and Assistance Specialist, reachable by phone at 38733704246.
