Opportunity Information: Apply for 72016924RFA00001
The USAID Serbia (Belgrade) grant opportunity titled "Advancing Digital Democracy in Serbia" (Funding Opportunity Number 72016924RFA00001) is a discretionary funding opportunity that will be implemented through a cooperative agreement, meaning USAID expects to remain substantially involved in guiding and overseeing the activity during implementation rather than simply issuing a hands-off grant. The activity is listed under the Education funding activity category and is associated with CFDA/Assistance Listing number 98.001, which is generally used for USAID foreign assistance programs.
This notice is specifically an amendment to the original Request for Applications (RFA). Its stated purpose is not to introduce a brand-new competition, but to (1) provide formal answers to questions submitted by interested applicants and (2) make targeted changes to the original RFA based on that Q and A process and/or clarifications USAID determined were needed. The amended RFA highlights all changes for ease of reference, which is important for applicants because it signals that some requirements, instructions, or evaluation details may have been adjusted and that applicants should rely on the updated version when preparing their submissions.
Eligibility is listed as "Unrestricted," indicating that the competition is open to any applicant types that meet USAID standard requirements and the RFA-specific criteria, rather than being limited to a narrow class of organizations (such as only local entities or only NGOs). USAID anticipates making one award under this solicitation, with an award ceiling of up to $5,000,000, meaning proposals may request funding up to that maximum amount, subject to USAID review and final negotiation.
Key dates provided include a creation/posting date of June 5, 2024, and an original closing date of July 7, 2024. Because this is an amendment, applicants should pay close attention to whether the amendment modifies the closing date, submission instructions, or required attachments, since amended RFAs sometimes extend deadlines or revise application components. Overall, the amendment functions as an official clarification and update to the solicitation rules and expectations for the "Advancing Digital Democracy in Serbia" program, and applicants are expected to incorporate the highlighted changes and the published answers into their application strategy and final submission.Apply for 72016924RFA00001
