Opportunity Information: Apply for LOME ARDF FY2021 0001
The U.S. Department of State, through the U.S. Embassy in Lome, Togo, announced a discretionary grant competition titled "Supporting Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms of Members of Togo's Most Vulnerable Groups" (Funding Opportunity Number: LOME ARDF FY2021 0001). The opportunity is designed to fund a one-year program that strengthens the promotion and protection of human rights in Togo, with a specific focus on people who face heightened risk of discrimination, violations, abuses, or social exclusion. The grant is meant to support practical efforts that confront discrimination and address human rights violations affecting marginalized communities, and it frames these efforts as central to advancing fundamental freedoms and equal treatment.
The program focus is explicitly oriented toward vulnerable and marginalized groups in Togo. While applicants can define target populations based on context and documented need, the notice highlights examples that may be included: the LGBTQI community, persons with disabilities, religious minorities, women, and persons with albinism. In other words, the opportunity is not limited to one category of vulnerability; it is intentionally broad to allow programming that responds to the realities on the ground, whether that involves social stigma, barriers to services, unequal access to justice, intimidation, or other forms of rights-related harm. The underlying objective is to reduce discrimination and improve respect for human rights and fundamental freedoms for these populations, including by supporting initiatives that prevent abuses and strengthen responses when violations occur.
Funding for the award comes from FY 2022 Economic Support Fund (ESF) resources, with an award ceiling of up to USD 250,000, subject to the availability of funds. The posting lists an expectation of up to 10 awards, signaling that multiple projects may be funded rather than a single nationwide effort, though the exact number and size of awards would depend on the quality of proposals and available funding. The assistance instrument is a grant, and the funding activity category is listed as "Other," indicating the work does not fit neatly into a single standard sector label and may combine approaches like advocacy, protection services, capacity building, awareness, legal support, or community-based interventions, as long as they advance the human-rights-centered goals described in the notice.
Eligibility is aimed primarily at nonprofit organizations, including U.S. nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education), as well as additional eligible entities described in the opportunity's eligibility section. The issuing agency is the Department of State, U.S. Mission to Togo. The opportunity was created on July 19, 2022, with an original closing date of August 19, 2022, meaning interested organizations had about a month to prepare and submit an application under the rules and format specified in the NOFO.
In practical terms, this opportunity is a call for proposals from qualified organizations that can design and deliver a focused, time-bound human rights program in Togo. Successful proposals would be expected to show a clear understanding of the discrimination and abuse faced by vulnerable groups, describe concrete activities to address those issues, and demonstrate how the project will produce measurable improvements over a one-year performance period within the maximum budget level.Apply for LOME ARDF FY2021 0001
