Opportunity Summary:
The USAID Justice Sector Support Program in Cote d'Ivoire is a competitive grant opportunity funded by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) to strengthen how justice services are delivered in the country, with a particular emphasis on the criminal justice system. The core purpose is to improve the performance, accessibility, and effectiveness of justice institutions and services, which typically includes strengthening the processes and capacities that affect how criminal cases are handled from investigation through prosecution, adjudication, and corrections or other case outcomes. While the short public description does not list the specific technical components, the stated aim signals support for reforms and practical interventions that help justice sector actors deliver fairer, more reliable, and more timely criminal justice services.
This opportunity was issued as a discretionary funding action under a Cooperative Agreement, which generally means USAID expects substantial involvement during implementation, such as close collaboration on work planning, monitoring, and technical direction, rather than a hands-off grant. The program falls under the funding activity category of Law, Justice and Legal Services, and is financed through CFDA 98.001, USAID Foreign Assistance for Programs Overseas. Cost sharing or matching is not required, which can reduce barriers for qualified applicants and allows proposals to focus on technical quality and implementation feasibility rather than raising additional funds.
Funding levels indicate this was intended to be a large, multi-year style program: the award floor was $18,000,000 and the award ceiling was $19,000,000, suggesting USAID anticipated making an award in a fairly narrow range near $19 million. Eligibility was listed as unrestricted, meaning both U.S. and non-U.S. organizations could apply, as long as they met the solicitation requirements and any additional eligibility conditions described in the full announcement.
Key dates show the announcement was posted on December 4, 2012, with an original closing date of January 10, 2013, later extended to January 17, 2013. The record was archived on May 30, 2013. The funding opportunity number is RFA-624-13-000003, and the title is "USAID Justice Sector Support Program - Cote d'Ivoire." The issuing USAID office is listed as Ghana USAID Accra, which likely reflects regional administrative management for the solicitation even though implementation would be focused in Cote d'Ivoire.
For applicants or interested parties who had trouble accessing the full announcement, the contact listed was Sabine Gabriel, Senior Acquisition and Assistance Specialist (phone: 233 03022741273), with an indication that questions could be submitted through the process described in the full funding opportunity.
