Description

The U.S. Department of State’s Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights and Labor (DRL) announces an open competition for an approximately 24-36-month global project to support civil society-led investigations and efforts combating endemic, high-level corruption. The goal of the project is to promote a global, transnational approach to uncovering instances of corruption and encouraging and facilitating action by governments and international organizations to combat and deter corruption. The award is intended to be supported by a diverse, multi-government public-private partnership. 

DRL will award one grant to a consortium (pre-existing or new) of multiple NGOs that collectively have a global reach (“Consortium”), with one lead organization serving as the primary recipient/applicant (“Primary Applicant” or “Lead Organization”) and other organizations playing substantive roles in accomplishing program goals and objectives.

Eligibility

  • Have existing, or the capacity to develop, active partnerships with thematic or in-country partners, entities and relevant stakeholders including industry and NGOs and have demonstrable experience in administering successful and preferably similar projects;

Grants

  • DRL anticipates awarding one successful application in the amount of up to USD 3,000,000 and with potential for additional future funding pending congressional notification and availability of funds;
