Opportunity Summary:
The Tunisia Encouraging Positive Post Election Progress grant opportunity is a discretionary U.S. Department of State funding call issued through the Middle East Partnership Initiative (MEPI), which sits within the Bureau of Near Eastern Affairs, Office of Assistance Coordination (NEA/AC). It was released as a Request for Proposals aimed at supporting Tunisia in the period after national elections, with an explicit emphasis on helping the country continue consolidating its democratic transition. The core intent is practical and near-term: proposals should target concrete needs and openings to strengthen democratic institutions over the next two years, reinforcing governance and democratic processes during a critical post-election phase.
Awards are planned as cooperative agreements, meaning the U.S. government expects an active partnership role during implementation rather than a fully hands-off grant structure. The total funding per award is designed for medium to large projects, with individual awards ranging from a $500,000 floor up to a $2,000,000 ceiling. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement indicated, which lowers barriers for organizations that may not have significant unrestricted funds to contribute.
The eligible applicant pool is broad and includes both U.S. and non-U.S. entities. Eligible applicants include registered nonprofit organizations (U.S. or foreign), for-profit organizations, private institutions of higher education, public or state institutions of higher education, and public international organizations. The program is listed under CFDA 19.500 (Middle East Partnership Initiative) and categorized under the funding activity area of regional development, reflecting MEPI's broader mandate to advance governance and reform priorities in the region.
The opportunity was posted on December 30, 2014, and carried an application deadline of February 4, 2015 (both the original and current closing date). For access issues related to the full announcement, the notice provides a Department of State contact: Charlotte Soriano, Senior Meeting Planner, reachable by phone at 202-776-8524, with a reference to NEA Grants email support.
