Opportunity Information: Apply for 72051721RFA00001
The Hispaniola People to People (P2P) Conflict Mitigation (CM) Program is a USAID/Dominican Republic funding opportunity focused on supporting conflict prevention and peacebuilding work on the island of Hispaniola. Through this Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO), USAID is inviting organizations to submit concept papers proposing activities that help prevent, reduce, or manage conflict and strengthen peacebuilding efforts. The program is framed around practical, community-oriented approaches and aligns with USAID priorities in conflict prevention, mitigation, management, and broader peacebuilding objectives.
This opportunity is being offered by the U.S. Agency for International Development, Dominican Republic Mission (USAID-Santo Domingo), and is issued as a discretionary award using a Cooperative Agreement. A Cooperative Agreement generally means USAID expects to have substantial involvement during implementation, such as collaborating on technical direction, coordination, or monitoring, rather than simply providing funds with minimal engagement. The funding activity category is listed as Community Development, signaling that proposed efforts are expected to operate at the community level and likely emphasize local participation, relationship-building, and practical interventions that reduce tensions and strengthen social cohesion.
USAID is explicitly looking to partner with a diverse set of entities, including both new partners and locally established organizations, as part of an effort to broaden and deepen its peacebuilding portfolio. Eligibility is described as unrestricted, meaning the competition is open to a wide range of applicant types, subject to any additional eligibility clarifications that might be contained in the full NOFO text. In practice, this openness is meant to encourage a wide field of implementers, potentially including local civil society groups, international NGOs, community-based organizations, educational institutions, and other qualified entities capable of delivering conflict mitigation and peacebuilding programming.
Financially, the opportunity lists an award ceiling of $2,160,000 and anticipates making up to four awards. That structure suggests USAID intends to fund multiple implementers or multiple geographic/technical approaches under the same overall program umbrella, rather than placing all resources with a single organization. Applicants are asked to submit concept papers first, which typically function as a preliminary, shorter-stage application used to identify promising approaches before inviting more detailed full proposals.
