Opportunity Information: Apply for 72053223RFA00001A

The Supporting Victims of Violence opportunity is a USAID/Jamaica funding announcement seeking a qualified organization (or organizations) to carry out an activity focused on assisting victims of violence in Jamaica. The award is planned as a cooperative agreement, which typically means USAID expects to have substantial involvement during implementation compared with a standard grant, such as closer collaboration on planning, monitoring, and key decisions.

Funding is discretionary and falls under the Law, Justice and Legal Services category (CFDA 98.001). Subject to the availability of funds, USAID/Jamaica indicates it may provide up to USD 10,000,000 total to support this activity, with an anticipated single award. The planned implementation period is four years, signaling a multi-year effort rather than a short-term intervention, and implying the program is expected to establish systems, partnerships, and service capacity that can operate consistently over time.

Eligibility is listed as unrestricted, meaning any type of entity may apply as long as it meets the requirements laid out in the Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) and any additional eligibility clarifications contained within the full text. Applications are to be evaluated using merit review criteria described in the NOFO, and any potential award is also subject to a risk assessment, which generally examines factors like financial controls, past performance, organizational capacity, and compliance readiness.
