About this file
This document is a Q&A document related to the Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) for the Caribbean United for Women's Economic Empowerment (CUWEE) program under the Department of State's Bureau of Western Hemisphere Affairs (WHA).
The CUWEE program aims to address systemic barriers and socio-cultural attitudes that challenge gender equity and equality in the Caribbean economy, and to build the economic resilience and skills capacity of women and adolescent girls aged 16 and older. The program will be administered through a cooperative agreement, with one award not to exceed $1,973,359 in FY 2023 Gender Equity and Equality Action (GEEA) Economic Support Funds (ESF) for a project period up to three years. The CUWEE project seeks proposals that strengthen local civil society support actors to help provide economic gender equity and equality in the Caribbean region. Key details include: there is no institutional application limit, applicants must have a Unique Entity Identifier (UEI) and be registered in SAM.gov prior to submitting an application, and indirect cost allowances will be determined by a Negotiated Indirect Rate Agreement (NICRA) or the de minimis rate.

NOFO SFOP0010296
Caribbean United for Women’s Economic Empowerment (CUWEE)
Questions and Answers April 10, 2024
Question 1: Can you confirm whether there is an institutional application limit for the DOS
Caribbean United for Women’s Economic Empowerment program?
Response 1: No, there is no institutional application limit for the Department of State CUWEE program.
Question 2: I want to submit an application for the opportunity on Caribbean United for Women’s Economic Empowerment (CUWEE) SFOP0010296. My organization does not have a SAM number. Can I apply for this opportunity and request to get the SAM number after I have submitted my proposal?
Response 2: Per section D.3 in the NOFO (pg. 18) - Under the law, it is mandatory to obtain a
UEI number and register in sam.gov before submitting an application. The Bureau of Western
Hemisphere Affairs may not review applications from or make awards to applicants that have not completed all applicable UEI and SAM.gov requirements.
Please refer to Attachment E of the NOFO documents to see the Frequently Asked Questions for SAM.gov Registration for International Entities for assistance with completing this requirement.
Question 3: DOS allows F&A for the allocation of small grants (up to $1.2M) to local civil orgs in the Caribbean Region?
Response 3: Yes, but the allowance of F&A for the small grantees will be determined by the indirect cost calculation allowances. These allowances are defined by a (1) Negotiated Indirect
Rate Agreement (NICRA) (if the proposing organization has one, this is not required) or the (2) de minimis rate [as determined in 2 CFR 200.414(f)] applied against the modified total direct costs (MTDC) as defined in 2 CFR 200.1 “Modified Total Direct Cost (MTDC)” http://www.sam.gov/ https://www.ecfr.gov/current/title-2/part-200/section-200.414 https://www.ecfr.gov/current/title-2/subtitle-A/chapter-II/part-200
