Opportunity Summary:
The U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) Mission in Macedonia announced a discretionary funding opportunity titled "Protection of Migrant Human Rights in Macedonia" (Funding Opportunity Number RFA 165 16 000003). The program is designed to support work that strengthens the protection of migrants human rights within Macedonia, and it is framed as a community development activity. USAID intends to support this effort through a cooperative agreement, which typically means the awardee would implement the project while USAID remains actively involved in oversight and coordination during implementation.
Eligibility for the award is restricted to local organizations, specifically eligible Macedonian organizations as stated in the notice. The listing indicates the eligible applicant category as "Others" with further clarification referenced in an additional eligibility section, but the central limitation is clear: the opportunity is meant for local, in-country entities rather than international organizations applying directly.
The opportunity was posted on March 1, 2016, with the same date listed as its creation date. The application deadline was April 15, 2016 (both the original and current closing dates match, indicating no extension reflected in the provided data). USAID anticipated making one award under this announcement, with an award ceiling of $375,000, meaning the maximum funding amount available for the single expected award was up to that level.
