Opportunity Summary:
The Rule of Law and Human Rights (ROL/HR) opportunity was a USAID Cambodia Request for Applications designed to fund a single program focused on strengthening rule of law and advancing human rights in Cambodia. Issued by the USAID mission in Phnom Penh under the authority of the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961 (as amended), the solicitation invited organizations to propose activities that support justice-sector and human-rights related improvements, aligning the grant with the broader development goal of strengthening legal systems, accountability, and rights protections.
This was a discretionary funding opportunity offered through a Cooperative Agreement, which generally means USAID expected to have substantial involvement during implementation (for example, collaborating on work planning, monitoring, or technical direction) rather than simply providing funds with minimal engagement. The activity category was listed as Law, Justice and Legal Services, reflecting an emphasis on legal institutions, processes, and protections, with an explicit program purpose of supporting rule of law and human rights activities in Cambodia.
Funding was structured as one anticipated award with a total estimated amount of $20,000,000, and both the award ceiling and floor were also set at $20,000,000, indicating USAID planned a single award at that fixed level rather than a range of possible budgets. The opportunity required cost sharing or matching, meaning the selected applicant would be expected to contribute a portion of project costs through cash and/or allowable in-kind contributions as defined in the full announcement and applicable federal assistance rules.
Eligibility was broadly open. USAID stated that applications were welcome from U.S. or non-U.S. entities, including non-profit and for-profit nongovernmental organizations, public international organizations/international organizations, and other qualified non-U.S. Government organizations. In other words, the competition was essentially unrestricted among the listed entity types, subject to any additional eligibility clarifications that may have appeared in the full RFA text.
Key administrative details include the funding opportunity number USAID CAMBODIA 442 08 002 RFA and the CFDA listing 98.001 (USAID Foreign Assistance for Programs Overseas). The announcement was posted on April 11, 2008, with an original and current closing date of May 23, 2008, and it was later archived on June 22, 2008. For technical access issues related to obtaining the full announcement, USAID provided a point of contact: Sokunn Mealea Prak, Acquisition Specialist, reachable by phone at +855 23 728344.
