The Request for Application (RFA) is part of the ‘Support to Armenia-Turkey Rapprochement’ project supported by USAID. The Project is jointly implemented by a consortium of four organizations: Eurasia Partnership Foundation (EPF), Union of Manufacturers and Businessmen of Armenia (UMBA), International Center for Human Development (ICHD), and Yerevan Press Club (YPC).
USAID and the Consortium Members support Armenia-Turkey rapprochement by facilitating engagement between civil society groups, establishment and development of business partnerships and regional professional networks, and enhanced understanding between the people, for peace and economic integration in the region.
The Open-door Grants Pool serves as the Project’s mechanism to a) flexibly adapt to changes in the operating environment between the two countries; b) foster innovation and promote new faces or groups; and c) to test new ideas and approaches. The Open-door Grants pool will create the conditions favorable for a variety of innovative and/or pilot ideas to flourish and succeed. Through the open-door grant mechanism, new and younger NGOs, media organizations, and businesses will acquire opportunities to engage in cross-border dialogue and interaction. The Open-door concept specifically refers to a process whereby any issue and innovative approach in the area of improving and contributing to Armenia-Turkey interaction will be considered.
