Opportunity Summary:
Protecting the Rights of Children, Women and Youth (Funding Opportunity Number USAID HAITI 521 11 024) is a discretionary U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) opportunity from the Haiti mission in Port-au-Prince, structured as a cooperative agreement. The activity sits under a Human Rights Program focus and is designed as a multi-year intervention with a long-term goal: improving the safety and security of women, children, and youth in Haiti by reducing the incidence of human rights abuses and expanding access to treatment and care for those affected. In practical terms, the program is aimed at both prevention (fewer abuses occurring) and response (better availability of services and support when abuses occur), reflecting a protection-oriented approach that prioritizes vulnerable groups.
USAID anticipated making one award under this solicitation, with an estimated total funding amount of up to $22,000,000 and an award ceiling of $22,000,000 (the award floor is listed as $0). Because the instrument is a cooperative agreement, applicants should expect substantial involvement by USAID during implementation compared with a standard grant, often meaning closer collaboration on work planning, monitoring, and key decisions that affect program direction and performance. The opportunity is associated with CFDA 98.001, USAID Foreign Assistance for Programs Overseas, which is the standard assistance listing for many USAID-funded overseas development and humanitarian programs.
Eligibility was broad across several organizational types, including U.S.-based nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education), nonprofits without 501(c)(3) status (also excluding institutions of higher education), small businesses, for-profit organizations other than small businesses, and private institutions of higher education. A cost-sharing or matching requirement applied, meaning applicants were expected to contribute a defined share of project costs from non-federal sources; the amendment notes that the cost share amount was clarified, so applicants would need to follow the updated solicitation language to understand the specific percentage or dollar amount and what counts as allowable cost share.
Timeline details indicate the opportunity was posted April 4, 2011, with an original closing date of May 5, 2011, and a current closing date extended to June 13, 2011. The materials also reference Amendment No. 03, which served multiple administrative purposes: correcting prior amendment cover letters to reflect the correct RFA number, extending the application due date, updating required representations and certifications, clarifying the cost-share amount, and responding to applicant questions through a Questions and Answers archive. The archive date is listed as September 30, 2011, which typically signals when the opportunity and related documents were no longer being actively maintained on the posting platform.
For applicants or interested parties who had trouble accessing the full announcement electronically, the solicitation provided a mission contact: Eleanore Armand Xavier, Acquisition and Assistance Specialist at USAID Haiti (Port-au-Prince), phone 509 2 229 8404.
