The USAID/LAC Office of Democracy and Human Rights is offering a Cooperative Agreement for its ‘Building Constituencies for Democracy and Human Rights’ program. This grant is for fostering broader engagement in democratic processes across Latin America and the Caribbean. The program aims to strategically involve new advocates from diverse organizations and interest groups that have a stake in democratic institutions, but may not actively engage when these come under threat. By expanding the landscape of stakeholders for democracy, this regional initiative seeks to increase the political cost of actions that undermine democratic rights and principles. A single four-year award is contemplated, providing approximately $600,000 per year, for a total of up to $2,400,000.
