Democracy Fellows Program; Announcing Request for Applications

    On or about October 25, 1994 a Request for Applications (RFA) will 
be issued by the Office of Democracy and Governance of the U.S. Agency 
for International Development. The RFA will request cooperative 
agreement applications for not-for-profit U.S. NGOs, U.S. PVOs, or U.S. 
colleges and universities to develop a Democracy Fellows Program. The 
United States Agency for International Development will seek to 
establish a 5 year cooperative agreement. The goal of the program is to 
establish a cadre of field experienced technical experts committed to 
careers in democracy and governance. The grantee will be required to 
identify, place, and supervise junior and mid-level experts in 
assignments that will contribute to democracy programs in developing 
countries, as well as to the career development and commitment of the 
experts themselves. It is envisioned that the project will include the 
following activities: (1) Identification of suitable assignments for 
Fellows; (2) Recruitment, review and selection of Fellows; (3) 
Orientation, supervision and support of Fellows; (4) Counterpart 
development; and (5) establishment of an Advisory Board.
    Interested not-for-profit U.S. NGOs, U.S. PVOs, U.S. colleges, and 
universities, or a consortium thereof, should send a letter referencing
