Opportunity Summary:
The Parliamentary Strengthening Program is a USAID/Haiti grant opportunity designed to support Haiti's legislature by improving how Parliament functions as an institution, how openly it conducts its work, and how effectively it represents citizens. USAID frames this as part of its broader democracy and governance engagement in Haiti, emphasizing that continued legislative assistance is a key strategic priority. The program would be implemented through a Cooperative Agreement, meaning USAID expects to have substantial involvement during implementation rather than simply issuing a grant with minimal oversight.
The core purpose is to build the institutional capacity of Parliament and strengthen the legislative process. The opportunity highlights three main results areas: strengthening Parliament's internal systems and operational capacity; promoting transparency in legislative processes so that the public and stakeholders can better understand and track lawmaking and oversight; and facilitating representation so legislators and parliamentary structures can more effectively engage with and respond to constituents. To accomplish this, USAID anticipates providing support in practical forms such as technical assistance, trainings, staffing support, and material assistance. In plain terms, the award is intended to fund both expertise and the operational resources needed to make the legislature work more effectively and more openly.
Funding is projected at about $15,000,000 total over five years, subject to the availability of funds. USAID expected to make a single award, with an award ceiling of $15,000,000, indicating that this would likely be a relatively large, centralized implementing partner effort rather than multiple smaller grants. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement stated for applicants, which can make the opportunity more accessible to organizations that may not have significant unrestricted funds to contribute.
The opportunity is categorized as discretionary funding, with the funding activity described under governance. The CFDA listing is 98.001, USAID Foreign Assistance for Programs Overseas. Eligible applicants include nonprofits (both with and without 501(c)(3) status, excluding institutions of higher education in those categories), private institutions of higher education, and for-profit organizations that are not small businesses. That eligibility range suggests USAID was open to proposals from traditional democracy and governance implementers, academic institutions with relevant capability, and experienced firms that work in legislative strengthening and public sector reform.
Key timeline information in the notice indicates the opportunity was posted on April 7, 2011, and the full Request for Applications was expected to be available by May 6, 2011, with an application deadline of May 27, 2011. The archive date is June 26, 2011. USAID also stated that no comments or questions would be considered at the time of the early notice, implying that applicants would need to wait for the full RFA for detailed guidance on program design, evaluation criteria, and submission instructions.
The funding opportunity number is USAID HAITI RFA 521 11 027, issued by USAID in Port-au-Prince, Haiti. For access issues related to the full announcement, the notice provides a point of contact: Eleanore Armand Xavier, Acquisition and Assistance Specialist, phone +509 2 229 8404.
