Opportunity Information: Apply for NOFO 514 15 000012
The RECONCILIATION ACTIVITY (Funding Opportunity Number NOFO 514 15 000012) is a mandatory USAID cooperative agreement opportunity issued by USAID/Bogota in Colombia under CFDA 98.001. It was created on September 18, 2015, with an original closing date of October 29, 2015. The program anticipated making a single award, with an award ceiling of up to $55,000,000, and eligibility was listed as unrestricted, meaning a wide range of applicant types could compete as long as they met the solicitation requirements.
The central aim of the activity is to strengthen the ability of both the Government of Colombia (GOC) and Colombian civil society to carry out reconciliation work in ways that contribute to a more durable peace. The opportunity is framed around the idea that reconciliation is not only a political or institutional process but also a social one that requires informed public engagement, credible narratives about what happened during the conflict, and practical pathways for communities and institutions to move forward.
A major emphasis of the activity is support for truth-telling exercises. These efforts are intended to help society better understand the consequences of the conflict, what peace implies in practical and moral terms, and what reconciliation can realistically mean for different communities. In practice, this kind of support typically involves creating or strengthening processes that document experiences, elevate victim and community voices, and translate complex conflict histories into accessible public information that can be used in dialogue, education, media, and community-based engagement. The underlying goal is to reduce misinformation and polarization while encouraging shared understanding and accountability as building blocks for long-term stability.
Alongside truth-telling, the opportunity prioritizes building strategic alliances with both the public and private sectors. The purpose of these alliances is to broaden support for reconciliation beyond government programs alone and to encourage tailored reconciliation activities that fit local realities. This signals an approach that expects collaboration across institutions and sectors, potentially leveraging private sector resources, public sector legitimacy, and civil society reach and trust to design initiatives that resonate with specific regions, populations, or conflict-affected groups. Overall, the grant positions reconciliation as a coordinated, multi-actor effort that combines public education, societal dialogue, and cross-sector partnerships to help Colombia consolidate peace.Apply for NOFO 514 15 000012
