Opportunity Summary:
The USAID/Cambodia Civil Society Annual Program Statement (APS 442 14 000001) is a discretionary grant opportunity issued by the United States Agency for International Development through its Mission in Phnom Penh. The overall aim is to strengthen civil society engagement in Cambodia in ways that support democratic processes, improve government accountability, and advance respect for human rights. In practical terms, the APS is meant to help local organizations design and carry out activities that increase civic participation, encourage more transparent and responsive governance, and protect or expand rights and freedoms, with an emphasis on building stronger links between citizens, civil society groups, and decision-making processes.
A core feature of the opportunity is that youth engagement and gender equality are not optional add-ons; they are cross-cutting themes that must be integrated into every proposed program. Applicants are expected to show how young people will meaningfully participate in or benefit from activities, and how gender considerations will be built into program design, implementation, and results measurement. This means proposals should reflect an understanding of the different barriers, risks, and opportunities faced by women, men, girls, boys, and diverse groups, and should describe concrete steps to ensure inclusive participation and equitable outcomes.
USAID/Cambodia anticipated making multiple awards under this APS, indicating that it was designed to support more than one project or implementing partner rather than a single large winner. The estimated total funding available was USD 5,000,000. Individual awards were expected to range from a minimum (floor) of USD 100,000 to a maximum (ceiling) of USD 1,500,000, allowing for both smaller targeted initiatives and larger, more comprehensive efforts. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, which reduces the financial barrier for local organizations that may not have access to significant non-donor resources.
Eligibility was restricted to local Cambodian organizations only. The opportunity was open to Cambodian non-profit and non-governmental organizations, as well as faith-based organizations, foundations, professional associations, networks, and consortia or coalitions composed of these types of groups. It also allowed for local for-profit organizations to apply, but only if they were willing to forgo profit, aligning the awards with a public benefit and mission-driven approach. This local-only requirement signals an intention to channel resources directly to Cambodian civil society actors and strengthen locally led programming, organizational capacity, and domestic legitimacy.
The APS was posted on April 11, 2014, with an original and current closing date of April 10, 2015, providing a relatively long window for concept development and submission. The opportunity was archived on May 10, 2015. For applicants who could not access the full announcement electronically, USAID/Cambodia directed inquiries to its Office of Procurement in Phnom Penh.
