Opportunity Information: Apply for 72029421RFA00001
The USAID/West Bank and Gaza Conflict Management and Mitigation (CMM) People-to-People (P2P) Reconciliation Fund Program is a discretionary U.S. government funding opportunity run by USAID’s West Bank and Gaza mission to support projects that reduce conflict and strengthen reconciliation through direct engagement between people and communities. In practical terms, this kind of “people-to-people” programming is designed to build relationships, trust, and cooperation across lines of division, using structured activities that help participants work together, communicate, and address shared challenges in ways that lower tensions and create foundations for longer-term peace and stability. The opportunity is framed as part of USAID’s broader Conflict Management and Mitigation (CMM) approach, which typically emphasizes preventing violence, addressing drivers of conflict, and strengthening local capacity for peaceful problem-solving.
The funding is offered through grants and cooperative agreements, meaning applicants may receive either a more traditional grant or an award type (cooperative agreement) where USAID generally expects more ongoing collaboration during implementation. The program anticipates making multiple awards, with an expected total of about 12 awards. Individual awards can be as large as $1,500,000 (the stated award ceiling). The opportunity is listed under CFDA 98.001, which is a common assistance listing used for USAID foreign assistance programming. The Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) makes clear that USAID plans to select the application or applications that best match the objectives of the program, based on published merit review criteria, and that a risk assessment will also be part of the decision-making process. That risk assessment typically considers an organization’s financial controls, compliance capacity, past performance, and operational ability to manage activities safely and effectively.
From an applicant’s perspective, the key message is that USAID is looking for “qualified entities” that can credibly design and implement reconciliation-focused interventions in the West Bank and Gaza context. While the eligibility line is broadly described as “Others” (with clarification expected in the full NOFO), the intent is that applicants should carefully review the official notice to confirm exactly who may apply, what types of partnerships are allowed or encouraged, and what documentation is required. USAID also explicitly encourages interested parties to read the NOFO in full to understand what sort of programs USAID wants to fund, how to submit a compliant application, and how the selection process works.
Administratively, the opportunity is identified as Funding Opportunity Number 72029421RFA00001, created on February 22, 2021, with an original closing date of April 9, 2021. Overall, this solicitation reflects USAID’s intent to invest in multiple locally relevant, results-oriented projects that use people-to-people engagement as a tool for conflict mitigation and reconciliation, with awards going to applicants that demonstrate the strongest technical approach, feasibility, and ability to manage programmatic and fiduciary risk under USAID standards.Apply for 72029421RFA00001
