Opportunity Information: Apply for SFOP0007745
The grant opportunity titled "DRL FY20 Promoting Human Rights and Transparent and Accountable Government in Vietnam" (Funding Opportunity Number SFOP0007745) is a U.S. Department of State program issued through the Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights and Labor (DRL). It was announced as an open, discretionary grant competition aimed at supporting projects in Vietnam that advance two closely linked goals: improving transparent and accountable governance and strengthening the protection of individual rights. In practice, this kind of DRL opportunity is geared toward civil society-oriented, rights-focused work that helps people understand, claim, and defend rights while also encouraging more open, accountable public decision-making and oversight.
The opportunity was posted on March 18, 2021, with an original application deadline of May 17, 2021. DRL anticipated making one award under this competition, with a maximum (ceiling) award size of up to $1,000,000. The assistance listing (CFDA) number associated with the program is 19.345, which corresponds to the Department of State's human rights and democracy programming portfolio. The funding instrument type is a grant, meaning selected applicants would receive federal financial assistance to carry out an approved project consistent with DRL's objectives and grant terms, rather than a procurement contract for goods or services.
Eligibility is listed broadly as "Others," which signals that the competition was not limited to only a narrow category like state or local governments, but instead contemplated a wider range of applicants as defined in the full notice's eligibility section. In DRL competitions, "Others" often includes nonprofit organizations, nongovernmental organizations, and potentially certain educational or similar institutions, depending on the specific restrictions in the full announcement. The central point is that the competition was open to organizations capable of implementing governance and human rights programming in the Vietnam context, subject to whatever additional eligibility conditions and compliance requirements DRL set out in the complete funding notice.
Overall, the grant was designed to fund a single, relatively substantial project focused on practical ways to promote government transparency, improve accountability, and reinforce protections for individual rights in Vietnam. The emphasis on both governance and rights suggests DRL was looking for initiatives that connect policy and institutional transparency with tangible human rights outcomes, such as better access to information, stronger civic participation, improved mechanisms for public oversight, or efforts that help safeguard fundamental freedoms and legal protections.Apply for SFOP0007745
