Opportunity Summary:
The Sexual and Gender Based Violence (SGBV) Program in the Eastern Provinces of the Democratic Republic of the Congo is a USAID-funded protection-focused grant opportunity designed to support interventions that address sexual and gender-based violence in eastern DRC. The opportunity was issued by USAID’s Regional Mission in Nairobi, Kenya, and is structured as a cooperative agreement, meaning that the selected awardees should expect substantial involvement and collaboration with USAID during implementation rather than operating entirely independently. The funding is intended to support multi-year programming, with activities funded over an estimated 3 to 5 year period.
In terms of funding size, USAID indicated that, subject to availability of funds, it anticipated providing approximately $9.7 million, with total funding potentially reaching up to $16.1 million across the life of the program. This amount is not guaranteed, and the announcement explicitly states that USAID reserves the right to fund any or none of the applications submitted, which is standard language that preserves the agency’s discretion depending on proposal quality, strategic fit, and actual budget availability. The notice also anticipated multiple awards, listing an expected total of five awards, suggesting USAID’s intent to support several implementers or consortia operating in complementary geographic areas or technical niches under the broader SGBV protection umbrella.
Eligibility is broadly defined and open to both U.S. and non-U.S. organizations, provided they are qualified and apply through partnerships or consortia that include DRC organizations. This requirement signals an emphasis on local participation and collaboration, likely to strengthen local capacity, improve contextual relevance, and support sustainability. The competition is described as “full and open,” allowing a wide range of entity types to compete, including large or small organizations, for-profit firms, faith-based groups, and non-profit organizations, as long as they apply as part of eligible partnerships/consortia and meet the geographic eligibility noted in the solicitation (geographical code 935, as referenced in the announcement). The listing also indicates that cost sharing or matching is required, meaning applicants should plan to contribute a portion of project costs through cash or in-kind resources in accordance with the specific terms described in the full solicitation.
Administratively, the opportunity is identified by Funding Opportunity Number SOL 623 10 000002 and is associated with CFDA 98.001 (USAID Foreign Assistance for Programs Overseas). It was posted on December 17, 2009, with an application closing date of February 19, 2010 at 1600 hours Nairobi local time, and an archive date of March 21, 2010.
