Opportunity Information: Apply for BH200 23 GR 200 WHA
The U.S. Embassy in Belmopan, Belize is offering a grant opportunity called "Strengthening Government through Civil Society Engagement" aimed at improving democratic governance by supporting civil society organizations that work alongside government institutions. The funding is provided through FY 2022 Economic Support Funds (ESF) and totals up to $1,000,000 overall, depending on the availability of funds. The Embassy expects to make four to six awards, with individual grant amounts ranging from $150,000 to $250,000. The anticipated start date for projects selected under this competition is September 29, 2023.
The core focus of this Notice of Funding Opportunity is Pillar II of the U.S. Root Causes Strategy (RCS): combating corruption, strengthening democratic governance, and advancing the rule of law. Proposed projects should center on practical, partnership-driven activities where civil society helps improve how government works and how the public can interact with it. Priority areas include promoting transparency and anti-corruption efforts, strengthening public service delivery (with particular attention to vulnerable and/or marginalized communities), and supporting access to justice. A major theme is accountability: proposals should help citizens better hold government responsible for its duties, push for policy or practice changes, and improve transparency at local and national levels. Applicants are expected to include clear objectives and measurable indicators so progress can be tracked and demonstrated over time.
While Pillar II is the main emphasis, proposals may also incorporate elements connected to Pillar III (promoting respect for human rights, labor rights, and a free press) and Pillar IV (countering and preventing violence, extortion, and other crimes linked to gangs, trafficking networks, and organized criminal groups). Even with that flexibility, there are firm restrictions: grant funds cannot be used for law enforcement activities, training law enforcement personnel, or providing social services.
Eligible applicants include U.S. nonprofit or nongovernmental organizations with IRS 501(c)(3) status, overseas-based NGOs, U.S. or overseas public and private institutions of higher education, and public international organizations. The Department of State, U.S. Mission to Belize is the sponsoring agency, and the legal authority for the program comes from the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961, as amended. The Embassy also notes that it may choose to fund some, all, or none of the applications received and will decide final award amounts based on its review and funding decisions.
Applications were required to be submitted by May 10, 2023 at 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time (with the listing also showing an original closing date of May 11, 2023), and submissions could be sent through Grants.gov or by email to BelmopanCARSIESF@state.gov. Applicants are encouraged to carefully follow the NOFO instructions and include all required components and any materials specified in the attached requirements.Apply for BH200 23 GR 200 WHA
