Democracy, Human Rights, and Rule of Law in Syria Solicitation

Program Summary

While a political resolution to the Syrian conflict continues to be sought, and the campaign to deliver a lasting defeat to the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS) and al-Qaeda continues, The Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor’s (DRL) assistance will be tailored to address the unique challenges to stabilize areas not held by the regime by promoting inclusive and representative local governance; advancing democratic principles and respect for human rights; and supporting post-conflict recovery to include efforts to foster peaceful coexistence.  U.S. assistance will also provide for the protection of and advocacy for women’s and minorities’ rights and mitigate the impact of conflict on Syrian communities. Proposed programming must be responsive to the immediate needs on the ground; should contribute to ongoing Syrian civil society or international efforts; and should be in line with the U.S. Government’s democracy, governance, and human rights goals for Syria.

DRL invites organizations to submit applications for programs in the following areas:
