Opportunity Summary:
The PEACE III grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number SOL 623 13 000008) is a discretionary USAID funding announcement issued by USAID Kenya in Nairobi under the Disaster Prevention and Relief funding activity category. The program is designed around conflict prevention and stabilization, with a main emphasis on strengthening local, cross-border conflict management systems. In practice, this points to work that helps communities and local institutions reduce and manage tensions that spill across national boundaries, such as disputes tied to resources, migration, or intercommunal violence in border regions. Alongside this primary goal, the opportunity also includes a secondary objective: providing some support to CEWARN and CEWERUs, which are regional and national early warning/response structures typically associated with monitoring conflict indicators and coordinating timely responses.
Funding is expected to result in a single award made through a Cooperative Agreement, meaning USAID anticipated substantial involvement during implementation rather than a hands-off grant structure. The estimated award size is very large, with a floor of $34,000,000 and a ceiling of $35,000,000, indicating USAID was looking for one major implementing partner capable of operating at scale and coordinating multiple activities, partners, and geographic areas. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement listed, so applicants were not required to contribute their own funds as a condition of eligibility.
Eligibility for this opportunity was limited to U.S.-recognized nonprofit organizations holding 501(c)(3) status with the IRS, excluding institutions of higher education. The CFDA number associated with the funding is 98.001 (USAID Foreign Assistance for Programs Overseas), which is a common listing for USAID-funded international assistance programs.
The announcement was posted and created on April 16, 2013, and it closed on May 15, 2013, with an archive date of June 14, 2013, indicating it is no longer open. For access issues related to the full announcement, the listed point of contact was Ali M. Ali, an Acquisition and Assistance Specialist at USAID Kenya, reachable by phone at +254 020 8622451.
