Opportunity Information: Apply for 72016522RFA00009
The Citizens Against Corruption (CAC) Activity is a USAID North Macedonia funding opportunity designed to help build a broad, society-wide movement that rejects corruption and actively pushes for zero tolerance. The core idea is not just to run isolated anti-corruption projects, but to connect and align the work of many different actors so they reinforce each other. The program is intended to raise knowledge and strengthen real participation in anti-corruption efforts among citizens, civil society organizations, media outlets, and the private sector, with a strong emphasis on collaboration rather than siloed initiatives.
This opportunity is issued by the Agency for International Development (USAID), specifically USAID-Skopje (Agency for International Development, Macedonia). It is listed under Funding Opportunity Number 72016522RFA00009 and titled Citizens Against Corruption (CAC) Activity. The funding instrument is a Cooperative Agreement, which typically means the donor expects to play an active role during implementation compared to a more hands-off grant. The opportunity is categorized as mandatory in the listing, and its program area is Law, Justice and Legal Services. The CFDA (assistance listing) number connected to this opportunity is 98.001, which is associated with USAID foreign assistance programs.
In practical terms, the activity is aimed at changing how corruption is understood, discussed, and confronted across North Macedonian society. By increasing knowledge and engagement, the program seeks to help people recognize corruption, understand the costs it imposes on public services and economic opportunity, and feel capable of responding through collective action, public accountability efforts, investigative reporting, advocacy, and cross-sector partnerships. A major theme is building momentum and social pressure: when citizens, watchdog organizations, journalists, and responsible businesses coordinate their efforts, they can more effectively demand transparency, integrity, and enforcement of anti-corruption rules.
The eligibility category is described as unrestricted, meaning it is open to any type of entity, subject to any additional eligibility clarifications that may be contained in the full funding announcement. USAID anticipated making a single award under this solicitation (Expected Awards: 1), with a total award ceiling of up to $6,000,000. The opportunity was created on September 13, 2022, and the original closing date for submissions was October 14, 2022.
Overall, CAC is structured as a large, single-award program meant to catalyze a coordinated, visible anti-corruption movement in North Macedonia. The emphasis on broad participation and collaboration signals an approach that treats corruption not only as a legal or institutional problem, but also as a social challenge that requires sustained public engagement, shared norms, and collective action across civil society, media, and the private sector.Apply for 72016522RFA00009
