Opportunity Summary:
The Regional NGO/Media Networks Program is a USAID-funded opportunity designed to strengthen civil society organizations and media actors across the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) by helping them work more effectively together. The core idea is to improve performance and impact through regional networking and information sharing, so that organizations and media groups can learn from one another, share tools and approaches, coordinate across borders where appropriate, and spread practical knowledge that supports more capable civic engagement and media work. For this program, USAID defines the MENA region specifically as the countries and locations where USAID programs are operating at the time of the announcement, which includes Morocco, Egypt, Lebanon, Jordan, West Bank/Gaza, Yemen, Iran, and Iraq.
This opportunity was issued by USAID Egypt (USAID Cairo) as a mandatory Request for Applications under Funding Opportunity Number USAID EGYPT 263 10 030 RFA. The funding instrument is a Cooperative Agreement, meaning recipients should expect an active partnership style of award management, typically involving ongoing collaboration and substantial involvement by the agency during implementation rather than a hands-off grant structure. The activity category is listed as Regional Development, reflecting the cross-border, network-building focus rather than a single-country project design.
USAID anticipated making up to seven awards under this announcement, with an estimated total program funding level of $12,000,000. Individual awards were expected to fall between $1,000,000 (award floor) and $3,000,000 (award ceiling), suggesting mid-sized projects that can support meaningful regional convening, communications platforms, exchanges, and other sustained collaboration mechanisms. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement stated, which typically lowers the barrier for organizations that may not have large sources of unrestricted funds.
Eligibility is described as unrestricted, meaning the competition is open to a wide range of applicant types, subject to any additional eligibility conditions that may be included in the full announcement text. The CFDA number attached to the opportunity is 98.001, USAID Foreign Assistance for Programs Overseas. The notice was posted on June 3, 2010, created on June 17, 2010, and had an original and current closing date of July 10, 2010.
For applicants needing assistance accessing the full announcement or requiring guidance on questions and submissions, the contact provided is Botros Wilson, Acquisition Specialist at USAID Cairo, reachable by phone at +20 2 2522 7000.
