Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "Promoting Increased Accountability for Sexual and Gender Based Violence in the Democratic Republic of Congo" is a U.S. government funding announcement from the Department of State's Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs (INL). The core purpose is to strengthen the effectiveness of the criminal justice system in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) so that survivors of sexual and gender based violence (SGBV) can access justice more reliably, and so that perpetrators are more likely to be investigated, prosecuted, and ultimately held accountable. In practical terms, the opportunity focuses on improving how justice sector institutions and processes work in SGBV cases, with an emphasis on reducing impunity and improving outcomes for survivors as cases move from reporting and investigation through prosecution and adjudication.
This opportunity was offered as a discretionary grant under a cooperative agreement, which typically indicates that the funding agency expects to have ongoing involvement during implementation rather than taking a hands-off approach after award. The funding activity category is "Law, Justice and Legal Services," and it is associated with CFDA number 19.703, listed as "Criminal Justice Systems." The funding range indicates relatively large, programmatic awards: a minimum (award floor) of $1,000,000 and a maximum (award ceiling) of $2,500,000. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants were not required to contribute a specific percentage of non-federal funds as a condition of eligibility, which can make the opportunity more accessible to organizations that have strong technical capacity but limited unrestricted resources.
Eligible applicants included U.S.-based nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) tax-exempt status (excluding institutions of higher education), as well as private institutions of higher education and public or state-controlled institutions of higher education. This eligibility scope suggests INL was open to proposals from experienced implementing organizations and research or academic institutions capable of delivering justice-sector programming, training, technical assistance, monitoring and evaluation, and potentially applied research or curriculum development relevant to criminal justice reform and SGBV accountability in the DRC context.
The timeline in the source information shows the opportunity was posted on July 15, 2015, created on July 17, 2015, and had an original and final closing date of August 17, 2015, with no extensions noted. The archive date is September 16, 2015, indicating the announcement is no longer open and was formally archived about a month after the deadline. For access issues related to the full announcement on Grants.gov, the listed support channel was the Grants.gov Contact Center (phone: 1-800-518-4726; email: support@grants.gov), operating 24/7 except on federal holidays.
Overall, this funding opportunity is designed for organizations that can credibly demonstrate they will help the DRC criminal justice system respond more effectively to SGBV, by improving survivor access to justice and strengthening accountability mechanisms so that SGBV cases are less likely to stall and more likely to result in lawful, fair, and effective action against perpetrators.
