The USAID Papua New Guinea Peace Project NOFO outlines guidelines for organizations pursuing funding to enhance local capacities for conflict prevention, with a focus on women's participation. Questions regarding project eligibility, budget considerations, and application requirements were addressed, confirming that relevant project experiences beyond USAID are acceptable and clarifying criteria for project implementation. Eligible organizations include U.S. and non-U.S. NGOs adhering to geographic code 937, though that requirement was later amended. Each applicant must propose a management plan and demonstrate capacity to form partnerships across various social sectors. Specific funding expectations comprise at least $500,000 for micro and small grants annually, with discretion on larger grants. The application must include Technical and Business components separately, adhering to page limits and font specifications. Key frameworks, like the draft Implementation Plan and Monitoring, Evaluation, and Learning Plan (MELP), hold separate page limits. The document emphasizes fostering local ownership by engaging government bodies and exploring partnership opportunities. USAID intends for applicants to tailor their approaches within outlined restrictions while promoting inclusivity and addressing the unique PNG context. The document reinforces compliance with branding standards and environmental guidelines as integral to the proposal process.
