Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "Promoting Rule of Law in Georgia" (Funding Opportunity Number RFA 114 15 000003) is a USAID-funded initiative focused on improving how Georgia's justice system works in practice, not just on paper. The central aim is to strengthen the overall justice sector so it more consistently delivers due process, maintains genuine judicial independence, and protects human rights. In other words, the activity is meant to support reforms and capacity building that help courts and related justice institutions apply fair procedures, resist improper influence, and uphold basic rights in a reliable, everyday way.
This opportunity falls under the Law, Justice and Legal Services category and is being offered as a discretionary award using a Cooperative Agreement. A cooperative agreement typically signals that USAID expects to stay actively involved during implementation, meaning the recipient would likely coordinate closely with the agency on planning, technical approaches, monitoring, and adjustments over time. The notice anticipates a single award, with an estimated total funding amount of $17,000,000. The award ceiling is also set at $17,000,000, indicating the project is designed as one large activity rather than multiple smaller grants. The award floor is listed as 1 (as provided in the source data), and there is no cost sharing or matching requirement, so applicants are not required to contribute additional funds to be eligible.
Eligibility is geared toward qualified U.S. organizations. USAID indicates it will consider applications from private nonprofit organizations and from-profit companies that are willing to forego profits under the award. The eligible universe also includes private voluntary organizations, universities, research organizations, professional associations, and other relevant special interest associations. The listing notes "Others (see text field entitled Additional Information on Eligibility for clarification)," which suggests there may be additional nuances in the full announcement, but the core message is that the competition is aimed at capable U.S.-based entities with relevant justice-sector, governance, human rights, or institutional reform experience.
Administratively, the opportunity was posted on November 6, 2014, with creation dated November 18, 2014, and an application deadline of December 16, 2014 (both the original and current closing date). The awarding agency is USAID in Georgia, based in Tbilisi (listed as Georgia USAID Tbilisi), and the funding is associated with CFDA number 98.001, USAID Foreign Assistance for Programs Overseas. Applicants are directed to consult the full announcement via Grants.gov (www.grants.gov) for complete requirements, instructions, and any attachments that define the program scope, evaluation criteria, and submission format.
For questions or issues accessing the full announcement electronically, the point of contact listed is Ekaterine (Eka) Gamezardashvili, Acquisition and Assistance Specialist, reachable by phone at 995 32 2544122. The notice also specifies that Eka Gamezardashvili is the POC for this RFA, meaning applicants would route procedural questions through her office, especially those related to solicitation access and application logistics.
