Opportunity Information: Apply for SFOP0004340
The grant opportunity titled "Supporting Libya's Legislative Priorities" is a U.S. government funding announcement aimed at strengthening Libya's legislative institutions during a difficult phase of its political transition. It is framed around the ongoing challenges that persisted more than two years after the December 17, 2015 signing of the UN-sponsored Libyan Political Agreement. Despite that agreement, political reconciliation remained fragile, in part due to spoilers and institutional deadlock. A central problem highlighted in the announcement is the House of Representatives not formally recognizing the Government of National Accord and, as a result, stalling key legislation. The opportunity notes practical causes for this gridlock as well: members not meeting regularly, difficulty reaching quorum, and limited ability to organize workable coalitions. With several electoral events anticipated for 2018-2019, the U.S. government presents legislative support as time-sensitive, arguing that passing priority laws and continuing professional development for legislators would help stabilize and advance the broader political transition.
The project itself is designed as a capacity-building and training effort for Libyan legislative bodies so they can carry out their core functions more effectively. While earlier U.S. support had focused on technical assistance and training for legislative staff within various GNA ministries and produced concrete tools such as a legislative agenda, a legislative drafting manual, and training modules, this funding opportunity is meant to expand that work. The emphasis shifts from a narrower focus on drafting to a broader set of institutional strengthening activities, including building organizational capacity, improving legislative processes, and helping legislative actors function more consistently and effectively in a challenging political environment. Another key point is that the work is intended to extend to additional Libyan legislative bodies beyond those previously supported, suggesting a wider institutional reach than earlier phases of programming.
Administratively, this is a discretionary Notice of Funding Opportunity with funding to be awarded through a cooperative agreement, meaning the U.S. government would likely have ongoing involvement in shaping or overseeing implementation rather than providing a hands-off grant. The opportunity is associated with CFDA number 19.600 and was issued by the Bureau of Near Eastern Affairs, Office of Assistance Coordination. The maximum award amount listed is up to $1,000,000, with an original closing date of June 12, 2018, and a creation date of April 10, 2018. Eligibility is limited to for-profit organizations other than small businesses, and the announcement also references public international organizations in the description, indicating the program context includes coordination with international actors even if the eligibility line is specific. Finally, the effort is expected to be closely coordinated with and complementary to USAID's ongoing legislative strengthening program implemented by the National Democratic Institute, signaling that proposed activities should fit alongside existing U.S.-funded legislative support rather than duplicate it.Apply for SFOP0004340
