Opportunity Information: Apply for SFOP0010222
The U.S. Department of State's Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights and Labor (DRL) is offering a discretionary grant opportunity titled "DRL Combatting Discrimination Against Women in Mauritania" (Funding Opportunity Number SFOP0010222). The focus of this competition is to support projects that address and reduce gender discrimination in Mauritania, with an emphasis on practical, program-driven efforts that advance the rights, safety, and equal treatment of women.
The funding is provided through a grant mechanism under CFDA 19.345. DRL expects to make one award, with a maximum award amount (ceiling) of $1,250,000. This suggests the program is designed to fund a single, relatively substantial project rather than multiple smaller awards, so applicants should be prepared to propose a cohesive, well-structured approach with clear objectives, activities, and measurable outcomes aligned with the goal of combating discrimination against women.
Eligibility is broad. DRL invites applications from both U.S.-based and non-U.S.-based entities, including non-profit organizations and NGOs, public international organizations, and private or public institutions of higher education (including state institutions). For-profit organizations and businesses are also eligible to apply. Even with that open eligibility, DRL indicates a preference for working with non-profit entities, while noting that in some cases a for-profit organization may be the most appropriate implementer depending on the nature of the work proposed.
Key timing details include a posting/creation date of February 1, 2024, and an application deadline of April 8, 2024. Overall, this opportunity is aimed at organizations that can design and implement an effective program in Mauritania that directly challenges and reduces discrimination against women, backed by the capacity to manage a federal grant at the scale of up to $1.25 million.Apply for SFOP0010222
