Opportunity Information: Apply for 72048618R00001
The "Request for Information - New Thailand Activity" (Funding Opportunity Number 72048618R00001) is an information-gathering notice issued by USAID's Regional Development Mission for Asia (USAID/RDMA), with USAID Bangkok listed as the issuing office. It is not a formal grant solicitation on its own, but an RFI tied to an anticipated future activity that appears on the USAID Business Forecast under the name "New Thailand Activity." The purpose of the RFI is to invite ideas, recommendations, and feedback from organizations and individuals about what Thailand needs most in the areas of good governance and conflict mitigation, and what kinds of programming approaches might be most effective if USAID moves forward with a funded project.
The activity being explored focuses on reducing the risk of violence and conflict in two connected ways: addressing ongoing or potential conflict dynamics in Thailand's Deep South, and strengthening conflict prevention and reconciliation efforts at the national level. In practice, this means USAID is seeking input on strategies that could help reduce tensions, prevent escalation, improve reconciliation outcomes, and support systems that make governance more responsive and trusted. The RFI frames this as both a geographic concern (with specific attention to the Deep South) and a broader national concern (conflict prevention and mitigation "nationwide"), suggesting the future program may combine localized interventions with national-level reforms, partnerships, or networks.
A central expectation is that any suggested approaches be inclusive. USAID explicitly emphasizes integrating women, youth, and other underserved groups into conflict-prevention activities and strategies. This points to programming that does more than consult these groups superficially; it implies meaningful participation in planning, decision-making, and implementation. It also signals that USAID is looking for recommendations that account for how different communities experience conflict and governance challenges differently, and how prevention and reconciliation efforts can be designed so they do not exclude or marginalize key stakeholders.
From an administrative standpoint, the notice is categorized as "Other" for the opportunity category, funding instrument type, and funding activity category, which aligns with the fact that it is an RFI rather than a standard competitive funding announcement at this stage. The CFDA number listed is 98.001. Eligibility is described as unrestricted, meaning any type of entity may respond, subject to any additional clarifications that may be included in the full notice. The original posting date is October 20, 2017, and the original closing deadline for submitting information was November 5, 2017 at 4:00 pm Bangkok time.
Even though it is an RFI, the notice provides a sense of the scale USAID was considering for the anticipated follow-on activity. It lists an award ceiling of USD 16,000,000 and an expectation of one award. These figures should be understood as planning indicators rather than guarantees, since RFIs are used to shape program design, test assumptions, and collect market input before an agency finalizes an approach and releases a formal solicitation. Overall, the RFI is essentially USAID's way of asking the field: what are the most realistic, locally informed opportunities to support governance, reduce drivers of conflict, and strengthen reconciliation in Thailand, and how can those efforts be built in a way that intentionally includes women, youth, and underserved communities.Apply for 72048618R00001
