Opportunity Summary:
The Supporting Transitional Justice in Yemen grant opportunity was offered by the U.S. Department of State, Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights and Labor (DRL), under Funding Opportunity Number DRLA DRLAQM 14 013. It is a discretionary grant program (CFDA 19.345, International Programs to Support Democracy, Human Rights and Labor) intended to fund community-based efforts that strengthen local reconciliation and transitional justice in Yemen. The total funding available for an award was approximately $375,000, with expected award amounts ranging from $300,000 (floor) to $375,000 (ceiling), and no cost-sharing or matching requirement.
The core purpose of the opportunity was to support local reconciliation processes that connect everyday community dispute resolution and healing with broader transitional justice goals. DRL emphasized proposals that examine and work at the intersection of informal, traditional, and formal justice mechanisms, reflecting how justice is often pursued in practice in Yemeni communities. While projects were expected to be relatively small in scale, applicants were expected to design activities in a way that could be adapted and scaled to other locations in Yemen, showing clear thinking about what would make an approach replicable across different community contexts.
Another major expectation was that projects would not operate in isolation from the national conversation about transition and accountability. Activities were supposed to raise awareness of national-level transitional justice efforts and, where appropriate, connect to political transition processes and the transitional justice priorities and mechanisms discussed in Yemen’s National Dialogue. In practical terms, this meant proposals needed to show how local reconciliation work could complement or feed into broader transitional justice frameworks, rather than treating local mediation or customary mechanisms as entirely separate from formal or national efforts.
DRL also signaled geographic and partnership priorities. Applicants were expected to clearly identify and justify the target communities for the project, and they were encouraged to explore opportunities in southern Yemen. Strong collaboration with local organizations was explicitly encouraged, reflecting a preference for locally grounded implementation and legitimacy. Where relevant, programs were expected to include support for Yemeni civil society organizations (CSOs) through capacity building, coaching, networking, and similar forms of institutional and technical strengthening, so that local partners could sustain reconciliation and transitional justice-related work beyond the life of the grant.
In terms of eligibility, the competition was open to a range of nonprofit and higher education entities, including U.S.-based nonprofits with or without 501(c)(3) status (with the noted limitations), public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, and private institutions of higher education. The opportunity was posted on December 30, 2013, and had an application deadline of February 11, 2014, with an archive date of March 13, 2014.
