Adapting USAID Democracy Rights and Governance Assistance to Better Address Global Trends

The intent of this BAA is to seek participants to co-create, co-design, co-invest, and collaborate on research and development interventions to improve delivery of Democracy, Human Rights, and Governance Programs given the growing global challenges of closing civic and political space,disillusionment with democracy, violent extremism, the digital revolution,demographic and migration trends, among others.

USAID is also interested in addressing the growing phenomenon of exploitation of new information technologies to corrupt the information landscape, spread disinformation, and falsely amplify messages and narratives that undermine the legitimacy of democracy.
