Deadline- March 11, 2013
Applications invited for Annual Program Statement (APS) for Conflict Mitigation and Reconciliation Programs and Activities by United States Government (USG), as represented by the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), Bureau for Democracy, Conflict, and Humanitarian Assistance (DCHA), Office of Conflict Management and Mitigation (CMM).
The first funding opportunity for USAID’s Conflict Management and Mitigation (CMM) Reconciliation Programs Fund was global in scope and launched in 2004. In fiscal year (FY) 2012, the program’s total estimated cost was nearly $26,000,000, of which approximately $10,000,000 was designated to support programs in Israel, the West Bank and Gaza and Jordan. In FY13, there will continue to be two separate APS funding opportunities: one APS for Israel, the West Bank and Gaza and the Middle East, and one APS for this global reconciliation program (estimated total funding $16 million).
The objective of this APS is to make significant strides in the overall goal of conflict mitigation, peace, and reconciliation in selected eligible conflict-affected countries.
USAID anticipates approximately US $16,000,000 will be available to support the program(s) or activityies described, although final funding levels will depend on content, quality number of applications received, needs, availability of funding, and competing priorities.
