About this opportunity
The Department of State's Bureau of Energy Resources is seeking proposals from 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations to advance digital connectivity in Paraguay through a cooperative agreement. The grant opportunity focuses on three primary objectives: expanding rural internet connectivity, building institutional capacity for secure information and communications technology (ICT) access, and strengthening digital literacy capabilities. Eligible applicants must demonstrate expertise in technology infrastructure development, digital inclusion strategies, and capacity-building in emerging markets. While specific evaluation criteria are not explicitly detailed, the grant will likely assess applicants' technical capabilities, proposed implementation strategies, and potential for sustainable impact in Paraguay's digital ecosystem. The application deadline is August 4, 2025, with the grant opportunity initially posted on July 3, 2025.
The federal grant opportunity is part of the Bureau of Western Hemisphere Affairs Grant Programs (CFDA 19.750), which typically funds projects ranging from $100,000 to $2 million over 18-36 month periods. While the exact award amount is not specified, similar grants in the Latin American region have supported projects with budgets in this range. The place of performance is Paraguay, with a specific focus on rural and underserved regions requiring digital infrastructure development and technological capacity building. The cooperative agreement structure suggests that the U.S. government will maintain active involvement and collaboration throughout the project's implementation.
Synopsis
This project seeks to 1) expand Paraguay's rural internet connectivity, 2) build institutional capacity to deliver secure access to information and communications technologies (ICTs), and 3) strengthen digital literacy.
