Opportunity Information: Apply for 72061322RFA00001
The INTERNATIONAL ELECTION OBSERVATION FOR ZIMBABWE (IEOZ) PROGRAM is a USAID Zimbabwe (USAID-Harare) grant opportunity designed to support credible, third-party international election observation and expert assessment around Zimbabwe's 2023 harmonized elections. The core purpose is to strengthen transparency, inclusivity, and legitimacy in the electoral process by demonstrating sustained international attention and commitment to election credibility. The program is built around observation and assessment that follow international standards, with an emphasis on producing independent, evidence-based findings that can be used to improve electoral integrity.
The opportunity is issued as a cooperative agreement, meaning the implementing organization would work in close coordination with USAID rather than operating entirely independently as in some grant structures. The funding opportunity number is 72061322RFA00001, and it falls under an "Other" opportunity category and funding activity category (with additional clarification referenced in the full notice). The CFDA listing provided is 98.001. USAID anticipated making a single award, with an award ceiling of up to $3,000,000, indicating one primary implementing partner would likely manage the overall observation effort and associated reporting products.
IEOZ has two main objectives. First, it seeks objective and accurate monitoring, observation, and reporting on the integrity of the entire 2023 harmonized electoral process, not just election day. That framing generally implies attention to the broader electoral environment and key stages that can affect credibility, such as election administration, the campaign period, political rights and freedoms, and other conditions that influence whether an election is perceived as free, fair, and legitimate. Second, the program requires the organization to issue and disseminate reports that include targeted, concrete, and realistic recommendations. This points to deliverables that go beyond describing what happened and instead provide practical steps that relevant stakeholders could take to strengthen electoral integrity over time.
Eligibility is listed as unrestricted, meaning the competition is broadly open to different types of entities, subject to any additional eligibility conditions that may be detailed in the full announcement. The opportunity was created on December 6, 2021, with an original closing date of January 31, 2022. Overall, the grant is structured to fund a professional, standards-based international observation and assessment effort that produces credible public reporting and actionable recommendations, with the broader aim of reinforcing confidence in Zimbabwe's electoral process and signaling international engagement with election credibility.Apply for 72061322RFA00001
