Opportunity Summary:
The Regional Victims of Torture Program is a USAID/Southern Africa grant opportunity designed to fund a three-year project that improves services for people who have experienced torture. The core purpose is capacity strengthening: the selected organization would help build the ability of Victims of Torture (VOT) service providers to deliver effective treatment and rehabilitation for survivors dealing with both physical injuries and psychological trauma. In practical terms, this type of program typically centers on improving provider skills, systems, coordination, and overall service quality so that survivors can access more comprehensive and reliable care.
This opportunity was issued by the United States Government through the United States Agency for International Development in Southern Africa, with the USAID mission based in Pretoria, South Africa. The funding instrument is a grant, and the funding activity category is listed under Law, Justice and Legal Services, which signals an emphasis on rights-based support and survivor-centered rehabilitation that often intersects with protection, legal systems, and accountability environments. The opportunity category is listed as an earmark, indicating the funding was set aside for this specific purpose.
USAID anticipated making one award under this announcement. The total estimated funding is USD 1,500,000, with an award ceiling of USD 1,500,000 and an award floor of USD 0. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants were not required to contribute their own funds as a condition of eligibility or competitiveness. The program was planned to run for three years, so the award value is intended to cover the full implementation period rather than a single year of work.
Eligibility is limited to local non-governmental organizations. The listing notes "Local NGOs only" under eligibility information, and the eligible applicants field references additional details in the full announcement for clarification. This restriction suggests USAID intended the program to be implemented by organizations rooted in the region with direct familiarity with local survivor needs, referral pathways, and service provider networks.
Key timeline details include a posted date and creation date of July 26, 2011. The original and current closing date were both August 25, 2011, and the opportunity was archived on September 24, 2011. The funding opportunity number is RFA 674 11 0051, and the CFDA number associated with the funding is 98.001 (USAID Foreign Assistance for Programs Overseas), which is the standard assistance listing used for many USAID overseas development grants.
