AGENCY FOR INTERNATIONAL DEVELOPMENT


Notice of Request for Application in Democracy and Governance

    The U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID's) Center for 
Democracy and Governance has the goal of promoting sustainable 
development by providing technical and intellectual leadership services 
in democracy and governance. The purpose of the activities that 
constitute the two Democracy Center programs described in the Request 
for Application (RFA) is to enhance the Agency's capacity to support 
the growth and sustainability of (1) electoral and political processes 
and (2) women's participation in electoral and political processes in 
transition and sustainable development countries, and in non-presence 
countries.
    To assist in achieving these objectives, the Democracy Center 
anticipates awarding at least $500,000 a year for each of three years 
to each of two elections awards resulting from this RFA. In addition, 
other funding sources, including USAID Regional Bureaus and field 
Missions, could possibly provide up to several million dollars in 
additional funds for each award.
    There will be one award for strengthening women's political 
participation resulting from this RFA. The anticipated funding level 
for the award is $1 million for the entire three year period.
    The RFA is being issued on June 26, 1995, and will close on August 
4, 1995. Those interested in receiving a Request for Application should 
send a letter referencing solicitation OP/B/AEP-A-95-011 along with 3
