Opportunity Summary:
The USAID/Morocco grant opportunity titled Political Party Building (Funding Opportunity Number USAID MOROCCO 08 012 RFA) is a discretionary funding announcement released by USAID in Rabat to support efforts that improve how Moroccan political parties are organized and how effectively they serve and represent citizens. The core purpose is capacity building inside political parties, with an emphasis on strengthening internal structures and practical party functions so parties can better identify, articulate, and respond to public needs. This fits within USAID/Morocco broader governance agenda, which also includes strengthening elected representative institutions and public administration at both national and sub-national levels, while advancing transparency and accountability in government.
The award instrument is a cooperative agreement, which typically indicates a more hands-on relationship between the funder and the recipient compared to a standard grant, often involving substantial involvement by USAID during implementation. The activity category is listed as community development, reflecting the program's intent to improve civic and political systems in ways that ultimately affect communities and citizen participation. The opportunity includes a cost-sharing or matching requirement, meaning the selected applicant is expected to contribute some portion of resources (cash or allowable in-kind support) to complement USAID funding, though the exact share and rules would be defined in the full announcement.
USAID estimated total funding at $1,700,000 for this opportunity. The announcement was posted on December 20, 2007, with key dates indicating it was created January 18, 2008, originally set to close January 31, 2008, and later extended to a current closing date of February 19, 2008. The archive date is March 1, 2008, indicating it is no longer active after that point. These dates matter mainly for historical reference and for understanding the window applicants had to prepare submissions.
Eligibility is limited to non-governmental entities of U.S. nationality. The eligibility description explicitly includes a range of U.S. organizations such as nonprofit organizations, for-profit concerns, faith-based and community organizations, and educational institutions, among others, as long as they meet the nationality and non-governmental requirements. The listing notes "Others (see text field entitled Additional Information on Eligibility for clarification)," which signals that further eligibility nuances may appear in the full solicitation, but the provided summary makes clear that U.S.-based NGOs and similar institutions were the intended applicant pool.
For access issues or solicitation-related questions, the contact provided is Najia Mesfioui, an acquisition specialist at USAID, reachable by phone at 212 37 632001 or by email at nmesfioui@usaid.gov.
