OpportunityTitle: Rule of Law Assistance related to Combating and Prosecuting Sexual and Gender Based Violence Crimes in the Democratic Republic of the Congo
Description: The Government of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC)&#8217;s institutional capacity remains extremely weak and the inability of many state institutions to provide services contributes to the state&#8217;s fragility and has created governmental legitimacy issues in the eyes of citizens. Despite the end of the DRC&#8217;s civil war, communities continue to suffer from decades of war, mismanagement, and instability, with rebel groups still controlling strategic areas, despite the country hosting the longest-running UN peacekeeping mission in the world. The country has experienced mass atrocities, human rights abuses, and widespread sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV). The United States Department of State, Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs (INL), is seeking applications from qualified Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs), Educational Institutions and other qualified organizations for a cooperative agreement to implement a program entitled &#8220;Access to Justice for Sexual and Gender Based Violence Survivors in the Democratic Republic of the Congo&#8221;.
