Opportunity Summary:
The Yemen Responsive Governance Project (RGP) is a USAID-funded initiative designed to strengthen governance in Yemen by improving the public policies and institutions that shape day-to-day social and economic life. The project is framed as an integrated, multi-sectoral effort, meaning it is meant to work across several development areas rather than focusing on a single issue. A central theme of the opportunity is that weak governance and inequitable development can fuel instability, so RGP is positioned as a preventive, stabilizing investment: by helping government systems become more responsive and fair, the program aims to reduce underlying drivers of conflict and dissatisfaction while supporting more equitable socio-economic development.
RGP is also explicitly intended to align with and complement USAID/Yemen s broader strategy for 2010 to 2012 and to be technically complementary to USAID/Yemen s flagship Community Livelihoods Project (CLP). In practical terms, this signals that RGP is not meant to operate in isolation; it is meant to reinforce and enable outcomes achieved through livelihoods and community-level programming. Where CLP likely concentrates on economic opportunities and community resilience, RGP is meant to improve the enabling environment: the rules, public sector practices, and institutional performance that determine whether development gains are sustained, inclusive, and trusted by communities.
From a funding and administrative standpoint, this opportunity is issued as a discretionary cooperative agreement, which typically indicates a more hands-on partnership between USAID and the recipient compared to a standard grant. Under a cooperative agreement, USAID generally expects substantial involvement in guiding priorities, coordinating with other Mission activities, and ensuring alignment with strategic objectives. The Funding Opportunity Number is 279-10-012, and the total estimated funding is $43,000,000, with an award ceiling of $43,000,000 and an award floor of $0. USAID anticipated making one award, meaning the competition was structured to select a single prime implementer to manage the full scope of the project and coordinate any subawards or partnerships needed to deliver results.
The program falls under the Community Development funding activity category, and it is linked to CFDA 98.001 (USAID Foreign Assistance for Programs Overseas). There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, which reduces the financial barrier for eligible organizations and suggests USAID intended to fully fund the proposed work up to the ceiling amount, assuming the application met technical and cost criteria. Eligibility is limited to nonprofit organizations with IRS 501(c)(3) status, excluding institutions of higher education, which indicates USAID was primarily seeking an experienced development implementer rather than an academic-led consortium.
Key dates listed for the opportunity include a posted date of January 19, 2010, a creation date of January 28, 2010, and an original and current closing date of February 18, 2010. The issuing agency is listed as USAID Cairo (Egypt), which can happen when a regional or neighboring mission supports procurement and acquisition functions for another operating environment. For applicants who had trouble accessing the full announcement, the contact provided was Nevine Hindy, Acquisition Specialist, with a phone number (0110225226907) and an RFA mailbox reference for correspondence.
