About this opportunity
The U.S. Department of State's US Embassy Asuncion is seeking a cooperative agreement to advance secure digital connectivity in Paraguay through a comprehensive project focused on expanding rural internet infrastructure. Eligible applicants are limited to 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations, with a preference for NGOs based in Paraguay, who can develop a strategic plan to install internet access points in up to 3,600 sites nationwide. The project objectives include expanding rural internet connectivity, building institutional capacity for secure information and communications technologies (ICTs), and strengthening digital literacy across rural communities. Applicants must demonstrate the ability to coordinate with Paraguayan government entities MITIC and CONATEL, use internationally standardized connectivity technologies, and develop a sustainable local technical support strategy. The grant opportunity has a strict application deadline of August 6, 2025, with proposals requiring submission in English as a Word document and adherence to specific formatting guidelines.
The total funding available for this project is $6,000,000, with a planned 54-month project period beginning September 30, 2025. The project will be executed primarily in rural and lower population density areas of Paraguay, targeting regions with limited internet access. Performance will require entering a Memorandum of Understanding with the Government of Paraguay and obtaining U.S. Embassy Asuncion approval for significant project changes. The funding is categorized under Economic Support Funds (ESF) with Assistance Listings Number 19.750, and the selected organization will be responsible for procuring, delivering, installing, and servicing secure internet access points while providing digital literacy training to rural communities.
