Opportunity Information: Apply for 72038818REOI01
USAID's Promoting Advocacy and Rights (PAR) Activity is a planned five-year initiative in Bangladesh designed to strengthen democracy by investing in people, networks, and institutions so governance becomes more accountable, inclusive, and responsive to citizens. The core focus is support for a vibrant civil society sector, especially civil society organizations that advocate for the rule of law, human rights, and other democratic rights recognized in Bangladesh's constitution and reflected in the government's international commitments. In practical terms, the activity is meant to bolster advocacy and rights-oriented work that can help improve public accountability and protect civic and democratic space.
The announcement provided is not yet the full funding solicitation; it is an Expression of Interest (EOI). USAID/Bangladesh issued the EOI to identify potential implementing partners that could lead the PAR project. Organizations that respond to this EOI and are considered viable candidates are expected to receive a later, formal Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO). That NOFO would include a more detailed problem statement and the requirements needed to prepare and submit a complete application, including both the technical proposal and the cost proposal.
In terms of funding structure and basic parameters, the opportunity is classified as discretionary and is expected to be awarded through a cooperative agreement, which generally indicates an assistance relationship with substantial involvement by the funding agency during implementation. The activity is jointly funded by USAID and the United Kingdom's Department for International Development (DFID), reflecting a co-donor approach to supporting democratic governance and civil society in Bangladesh. The opportunity anticipates a single award, with an award ceiling listed at $7,000,000.
Eligibility is described as unrestricted, meaning it is broadly open to different types of entities, with the caveat that applicants must still meet any conditions or clarifications contained in the full eligibility language. The issuing office is USAID in Dhaka, Bangladesh. The opportunity is cataloged under CFDA 98.001 and is categorized under community development, consistent with governance and civic participation goals that often fall within broader community and societal development objectives.
Key administrative details include the funding opportunity title "USAID's Promoting Advocacy and Rights (PAR) Activity" and the opportunity number 72038818REOI01. The notice was created on November 16, 2017, with an original closing date of November 27, 2017. Overall, the EOI signals USAID/Bangladesh's intent to fund a significant, multi-year democracy and rights activity centered on strengthening civil society advocacy and advancing rule of law and rights protections, with a competitive process expected to proceed through a subsequent full NOFO.Apply for 72038818REOI01
