Opportunity Information: Apply for SFOP0005814
The U.S. Department of State's Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor (DRL) issued a discretionary grant competition titled "DRL Capacity Building for Ukraine's Local Elections 2020" (Funding Opportunity Number SFOP0005814). The program is framed as an effort to strengthen democratic processes in Ukraine in the lead-up to the country's 2020 local elections, with the overarching goal of improving the quality, credibility, and resilience of local electoral processes and related democratic governance. As a DRL opportunity, the emphasis is on practical, on-the-ground capacity building that supports democratic participation and institutional integrity around elections rather than general development assistance.
The Department of State planned to make a single award, with an anticipated maximum funding level (award ceiling) of up to $900,000 and an expected number of awards listed as one. The funding instrument is a grant, and the opportunity is categorized under a broad "Other" funding activity classification (as noted in the opportunity's own clarification field), which generally signals that the proposed work may span multiple democracy-support activities rather than fitting neatly into a single narrow assistance category. The CFDA listing associated with the opportunity is 19.345, which corresponds to Department of State democracy and human rights programming.
The competition was posted on April 30, 2019, with an original application deadline of June 18, 2019. Eligibility is listed as "Others," with additional eligibility details referenced as being provided elsewhere in the full announcement, indicating that the applicant pool may include a range of non-federal entities (often such DRL competitions are geared toward organizations with relevant democracy and governance expertise, such as non-governmental organizations and similar implementers, subject to the specific eligibility language in the complete notice).
In practical terms, the opportunity is intended to fund one implementing organization to design and carry out a program that strengthens democratic processes connected to Ukraine's local elections. While the short description does not enumerate specific activities, "capacity building" in an elections context typically points to interventions such as improving the skills and readiness of election stakeholders, supporting civic participation and voter engagement, strengthening transparency and accountability mechanisms, and reinforcing democratic norms and practices at the local level. The core takeaway from the announcement is that DRL sought one sizable grant proposal focused on bolstering Ukraine's democratic electoral environment ahead of the 2020 local elections, with up to $900,000 available under a single award.Apply for SFOP0005814
