Opportunity Information: Apply for 72011122RFA00006
The Protection, Inclusion and Empowerment grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number 72011122RFA00006) is a USAID/Armenia cooperative agreement designed to improve the day-to-day lives and long-term prospects of disadvantaged and marginalized people in Armenia. The central idea is to strengthen protection and inclusion not just through direct services, but by fixing the underlying systems that shape people s access to safety, rights, and support. This includes updating laws and regulations, improving how services are delivered, and building stronger working relationships between government institutions and non-governmental actors so that vulnerable groups are not left to rely on fragmented or temporary assistance.
The activity is organized around several major components. One component focuses on policy and legislative reform, meaning work to change or modernize legal and regulatory frameworks so they better protect vulnerable populations and reduce discrimination or gaps in coverage. Another component emphasizes improving services related to inclusion, protection, and empowerment, which can include strengthening referral pathways, making services more accessible and higher quality, and ensuring that providers can respond appropriately to different groups needs. A third component addresses protection and inclusion for people affected by instability and violent hostilities or conflict, recognizing that conflict and insecurity create heightened risks, displacement, and barriers to basic assistance. The opportunity also includes outreach, communications, and research to inform policy choices, raise awareness, and improve coordination. Finally, it highlights adaptive social protection that can respond to shocks such as COVID-19, war or conflict, and food insecurity, reflecting an interest in systems that can scale or adjust quickly during crises rather than breaking down when needs spike.
The thematic focus areas signal the populations and issues USAID expects the activity to prioritize. These include social protection policy work and efforts related to counter-trafficking in persons (C-TIP). The opportunity also calls for stronger social inclusion and protection for persons with disabilities and for LGBTIQ people, suggesting attention to both accessibility and rights-based protections. Gender-based violence is a major theme, including domestic violence and intimate partner violence, alongside broader women s empowerment work. Another priority is protecting the rights and safety of women and girls impacted by the Nagorno-Karabakh (NK) conflict and or instability, including ensuring access to humanitarian and recovery assistance and protection from violence, abuse, and exploitation. Support for displaced populations is also explicitly included, with an emphasis that can extend to engagement in relevant peace processes. Across these themes, the solicitation repeatedly points to the need to address the impacts of global and domestic crises, including public health emergencies and food insecurity, through practical protection and social support mechanisms.
Administratively, the award is structured as a cooperative agreement, which typically means substantial involvement from the funding agency during implementation compared to a standard grant. The opportunity is listed as an earmark and is open to unrestricted applicants, meaning a wide range of organizations may apply as long as they meet any eligibility details in the full solicitation. USAID anticipated making one award with a ceiling of up to USD 20,000,000. The opportunity was issued by USAID-Yerevan (Agency for International Development, Armenia USAID-Yerevan), created on August 22, 2022, with a concept paper due date of September 6, 2022 at 18:00 Yerevan time (UTC+4).Apply for 72011122RFA00006
