Description: SUMMARYIn July 2007 the Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights and Labor (DRL) submitted to Congress the United States Strategy for Democracy and Governance in Iraq, 2007-2010. To address some of the critical challenges outlined in the strategy, DRL announces a Request for Proposals (RFP) for a grant award from the U.S. Department of State&#146;s Fiscal Year 2007 Human Rights and Democracy Fund from organizations interested in submitting proposals for projects that support democracy, rule of law, and governance programs in Iraq, in accordance with the goals and strategic objectives of the strategy. Projects should directly support the overall goal of the strategy: Iraqi citizens, civil society and democratic institutions work cooperatively to reduce violence and build a sustainable, accountable and responsive system of governance. Organizations should have a demonstrated capacity to work in Iraq on democracy-related issues.
