Opportunity Summary:
USAID, through its Regional Contracting Office in Kosovo, issued a grant opportunity titled "Support to Parliamentary Research and Civic Political Participation" (Funding Opportunity Number: RFA 167 14 000007). The basic aim of this program is twofold: first, to strengthen the professional capacity for producing high-quality legislative research and analysis, and second, to reduce the gap in civic participation by encouraging more meaningful public input into Kosovo's national legislative agenda. In practical terms, the project is designed to help improve how legislation is examined and developed, while also making it easier for citizens and civil society to contribute substantive ideas and feedback that can shape laws and policy priorities.
The opportunity falls under the Law, Justice, and Legal Services funding activity category and is being offered as a grant (assistance agreement). USAID anticipated making a single award under this announcement, with total available funding estimated at $250,000. The funding range indicates an award floor of $200,000 and an award ceiling of $250,000, which signals that USAID expected applicants to propose a project of moderate size with clear, measurable outputs tied to legislative analysis and civic engagement in the lawmaking process. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants were not required to contribute their own funds to be considered competitive under the terms provided.
Eligibility was limited to local organizations based in Kosovo, with the announcement indicating "Others" and directing applicants to consult the full notice for clarification on eligibility specifics. The selected recipient would be responsible for delivering results aligned with the program objectives, essentially serving as the implementing partner accountable for designing and carrying out activities that improve legislative research capacity and create stronger channels for civic political participation, particularly where public input can be translated into concrete contributions to legislative planning and drafting.
Key dates show that the opportunity was posted on February 13, 2014, created in the system on February 24, 2014, and closed on February 27, 2014, indicating a very short application window. The announcement was later archived on March 27, 2014. For applicants who had trouble accessing the full announcement, USAID provided a point of contact: Urime Abdyli, Acquisition Assistance Specialist, reachable by phone at 202-216-6241 or by email at pristinausaidrco@usaid.gov.
