Opportunity Summary:
The Timor Leste NGO Security Sector Monitoring Program is a USAID Timor-Leste grant opportunity aimed at supporting a locally led effort to improve public safety and strengthen rule of law outcomes by helping the Timor-Leste National Police (PNTL) become more responsive and accountable to the people it serves. USAID is looking for a Timorese nongovernmental organization to carry out a three-year program focused on monitoring public safety threats, improving police-community relationships, and building the capacity of the PNTL to respond more effectively to citizen needs and concerns. The overall intent is to contribute to stronger security and justice sector performance by creating better feedback loops between communities and police, and by promoting more transparent, citizen-informed policing.
Funding is planned as a cooperative agreement, meaning USAID expects to remain substantially involved in the program’s direction and implementation compared with a standard grant. USAID anticipated making one award with an estimated total value of approximately USD 1,000,000 for a 36-month period, projected to run from about February 1, 2013 through January 31, 2016. The funding level is stated as both the ceiling and the floor at USD 1,000,000, signaling that USAID expected a single award at that amount, although it also reserved the right to fund all, part, or none of the applications submitted, and noted it could decide to make more than one award at its discretion. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement.
Eligibility is limited strictly to local Timorese NGOs. For this solicitation, an NGO can be an incorporated non-profit or for-profit entity, but it cannot be a governmental organization. To qualify as “local,” the organization must be established under Timor-Leste law, maintain its principal place of business in Timor-Leste, be majority owned by citizens or lawful permanent residents of eligible countries (as defined in the solicitation) or governed by a board with a majority of such individuals, and it must not be controlled by a foreign entity or non-eligible individuals. This structure is intended to ensure the award supports genuinely local leadership and decision-making in security sector oversight and community engagement.
Administratively, the opportunity was posted on August 30, 2012, under Funding Opportunity Number USAID TIMOR SOL 486 12 000040, within the Law, Justice and Legal Services activity category, and under CFDA 98.001 (USAID Foreign Assistance for Programs Overseas). The application closing date was October 29, 2012, and the opportunity was later archived on December 31, 2012. Questions about accessing the full announcement were directed to Maria Rosario Arenas, Senior Acquisition and Assistance Specialist, at the listed phone number (+66 2 263 7453).
