The Democracy Indicators Monitoring Survey 3 (DIMS3) is a USAID cooperative agreement designed to strengthen citizen-responsive governance and support democratic development across the Latin America and Caribbean (LAC) region by generating high-quality, policy-relevant public opinion evidence. Led by USAID's Bureau for Latin America and the Caribbean, Office of Regional Sustainable Development, within the Democracy, Human Rights, and Governance (DRG) team, the opportunity centers on measuring and tracking how people in LAC countries think about democracy, how they experience governance in daily life, and how those attitudes and experiences change over time. A defining feature of DIMS3 is its emphasis on longitudinal and comparative analysis, meaning the work is meant to support country-level trend tracking as well as cross-national comparisons so USAID and regional stakeholders can spot shifts in democratic norms, institutional legitimacy, and public trust.
The activity is structured around four connected work streams. First, it calls for collaborative, periodic, and innovative public opinion surveys and related research focused on democratic values, political behaviors, and public perceptions. This implies repeated rounds of survey data collection and an expectation that the survey program will evolve to capture emerging issues while preserving enough continuity for trend analysis. Second, it prioritizes dissemination: making the resulting datasets, findings, and analytical products accessible and usable by decision-makers, practitioners, researchers, and other stakeholders interested in democratic governance in the region. Third, the award supports innovation in both topics and methods, encouraging the development and testing of new research questions and improved approaches to survey design and analysis that can better measure complex governance and democracy concepts. Fourth, it places strong weight on capacity building within LAC, aiming to strengthen local researchers and institutions in survey design, fieldwork and data collection standards, statistical analysis, reporting, and the practical use of evidence in policymaking.
Substantively, DIMS3 focuses on democracy-sector issues that are central to governance programming and public legitimacy. The opportunity description highlights core themes such as democratic norms and values, perceptions of institutions, and lived experiences that often shape political attitudes and stability, including corruption experiences, crime victimization, and migration. By tying these topics to ongoing, comparable measurement over time, the program is meant to provide a reliable empirical foundation for diagnosing governance challenges, tracking whether reforms and programs are associated with changes in public attitudes, and identifying where democratic backsliding, disenchantment, or governance stress may be increasing.
From a funding and administrative standpoint, DIMS3 was released as a discretionary funding opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number 7200AA19RFA00025) under CFDA 98.001, using a cooperative agreement mechanism. A cooperative agreement typically means USAID expects substantial involvement during implementation, such as collaboration on research priorities, review of technical approaches, and coordination on dissemination strategies. The opportunity anticipated one award with an award ceiling of $10,000,000. Eligibility was listed as unrestricted, meaning it was open to a broad range of entity types, subject to any additional eligibility details contained in the full announcement. The opportunity was posted on August 9, 2019, with an original closing date of September 5, 2019.
Overall, DIMS3 can be understood as a region-wide democracy measurement and learning platform: it funds recurring survey research and rigorous analysis, couples that work with broad sharing of data and findings, pushes methodological and topical innovation, and invests in local capacity so that high-quality public opinion research and evidence-based governance discussions become more sustainable within the LAC region over the long term.Apply for 7200AA19RFA00025
