Opportunity Summary:
The Organizational Performance Improvement Project (OPIP) in Macedonia was a USAID funding opportunity issued by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) Mission in Macedonia, administered through the USAID Regional Contracting Office in Kosovo (USAID Pristina). The opportunity invited applications from eligible Macedonian nongovernmental organizations, including both nonprofit and for-profit NGOs, to implement activities focused on human and institutional capacity development. In practical terms, the project was framed around improving organizational performance and strengthening institutions through professional development services and related capacity-building support.
USAID planned to make one award under a Cooperative Agreement, which typically means the recipient would implement the project with substantial involvement from USAID compared to a standard grant. The funding was in the range of approximately $550,000 to $600,000, with an estimated total funding amount of $600,000. The award floor was listed as $550,000 and the award ceiling as $600,000. No cost sharing or matching funds were required, which lowered the financial barrier for eligible Macedonian organizations to apply.
The opportunity was posted and issued on May 19, 2014, with a set of staged deadlines leading up to the final application submission. Questions from applicants were due by May 30, 2014, past performance information was due by June 6, 2014, and full applications were due by June 13, 2014 (the same date listed as the original and current closing date). The opportunity was later archived on June 27, 2014. The program was associated with CFDA number 98.001, identified as USAID Foreign Assistance for Programs Overseas, and the funding activity category was labeled as “Other,” clarified in the announcement as Professional Development Services.
Eligibility was restricted to Macedonian NGOs, explicitly including both nonprofit and for-profit nongovernmental entities.

For applicant support, USAID provided a point of contact for access issues related to the full announcement: Risto Ricliev, Acquisition Assistance Specialist, reachable by phone at +389 2 310 2223.
