Opportunity Summary:
The Rights and Empowerment in Northern Uganda (RENU) opportunity is a USAID/Uganda funding notice designed to support work that strengthens the rights of vulnerable people in Northern Uganda, with a specific emphasis on women and girls who were affected by conflict and who continue to face exclusion because of cultural norms and institutionalized gender discrimination. The project is framed around advancing transitional justice, meaning it is intended to contribute to efforts that recognize, address, and help remedy injustices experienced during and after the conflict, particularly those that disproportionately impacted women and girls. In practical terms, the opportunity signals support for initiatives that can help marginalized women and girls better access their rights, improve their protection and participation in society, and reduce barriers created by discriminatory systems and practices.
This is a discretionary grant opportunity issued under Funding Opportunity Number RFA 617 13 000007, titled "RIGHTS AND EMPOWERMENT IN NORTHERN UGANDA (RENU)." USAID planned to make one award under this announcement, using a Cooperative Agreement as the funding instrument. A cooperative agreement typically indicates that USAID expects to remain more actively engaged than it would under a standard grant, often through collaboration on planning, coordination, or monitoring during implementation. The activity category is listed as "Other," with clarification that the program focus is tied to transitional justice objectives and redressing injustices against women and girls connected to the conflict period and its aftermath.
The estimated total funding available for the award was $400,000, which also serves as the award ceiling, with an award floor of $0. No cost sharing or matching was required, which generally lowers the barrier to entry for applicants that may not have significant non-federal resources to contribute. The opportunity is associated with CFDA number 98.001 (USAID Foreign Assistance for Programs Overseas), reflecting its placement within USAID overseas assistance programming.
Eligibility was listed as unrestricted, meaning it was open to any type of entity unless additional eligibility limitations were described elsewhere in the full announcement. The issuing agency was USAID Kampala, Uganda. Key dates show that the opportunity was posted on July 29, 2013, with an original closing date of August 30, 2013, later extended to a current closing date of September 16, 2013. The archive date was September 29, 2013, indicating when the opportunity was expected to be removed from active listings after the competition period ended.
For applicants or interested parties who could not access the full announcement electronically, USAID provided a point of contact via email: KampalaUSAIDSolicita@usaid.gov, referencing Nancy Kleinhans (Agreement Officer) and Godfrey Kyagaba (Agreement/Award Specialist). An additional information link was included in the announcement for accessing the full details, which would typically contain the complete program description, required application components, evaluation criteria, reporting expectations, and any specific compliance requirements tied to USAID-funded activities.
