Opportunity Summary:
The Victims of Torture Treatment Program (VTTP) RFA is a USAID discretionary funding opportunity designed to support programs that address the needs of survivors of torture through treatment and related assistance, with an emphasis on strengthening implementing capacity and ensuring strong monitoring and evaluation. The opportunity is administered by the U.S. Agency for International Development, under the Office of Democracy and Governance/Special Programs Addressing the Needs of Survivors (SPANS), and is listed under CFDA 98.001 (USAID Foreign Assistance for Programs Overseas). Funding is provided through Cooperative Agreements, which typically means USAID expects substantial involvement during implementation compared with a standard grant.
USAID estimates that, subject to the availability of funds, it intends to provide approximately $10,000,000 in total funding over the life of the program activities. Within that total, USAID plans to make two awards to the applicants whose proposals best meet the solicitation requirements and offer the greatest value to the U.S. Government. The first anticipated award is the larger of the two: a global, five-year cooperative agreement of up to $8,000,000. This award is described as global in scope and is expected to operate through many local partners, with particularly strong components for capacity building and monitoring and evaluation. The second anticipated award is smaller and more focused: a regional or country-specific cooperative agreement for up to three years totaling $2,000,000. This smaller award is expected to work with one or two local partners, and it is similarly expected to include robust capacity building and monitoring and evaluation.
Eligibility is broadly open (listed as unrestricted), meaning a wide range of entities can apply as long as they are qualified and meet any requirements described in the full announcement. Eligible applicants explicitly include U.S. private voluntary organizations, U.S. or non-U.S. nongovernmental organizations, and other private nonprofit organizations. Universities, research organizations, professional associations, and relevant special interest associations are also eligible. For-profit companies may apply if they are willing to forego profits, and faith-based and community organizations are also eligible. USAID also signals an interest in expanding and diversifying its partner base by encouraging applications from new partners, reflecting an intent to increase the number and long-term sustainability of organizations capable of delivering this type of assistance.
The funding opportunity includes a cost-sharing or matching requirement, meaning recipients are expected to contribute a portion of project costs through cash and/or in-kind support according to the terms set out in the full RFA. Key administrative details include the Funding Opportunity Number (M OAA DCHA DOFDA 10 762) and the title "Victims of Torture Treatment Program (VTTP) RFA." The opportunity was posted June 17, 2010, with an application closing date of July 20, 2010, and an archive date of August 19, 2010. The stated award floor is $2,000,000 and the ceiling is $8,000,000, aligning with the two anticipated awards described.
