About this opportunity
The Department of State Bureau of Near Eastern Affairs is seeking applications for a Cooperative Agreement to "Catalyze Job Creation for Women in Cybersecurity" in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region. This opportunity aims to address two challenges: increasing the private sector's capacity to combat cyber threats and providing more job opportunities for women in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) fields who face logistical and societal constraints. The evaluation will focus on the applicant's ability to enhance the MENA region's private sector cybersecurity capacity and increase women's participation in STEM-related fields.
The funding for this opportunity is provided through the Middle East Partnership Initiative (CFDA 19.500), which supports organizations and individuals in their efforts to promote political, economic, and social engagement in the MENA region. The application deadline is June 21, 2024. The specific award value or budget range is not provided, but the place of performance is the MENA region.
Synopsis
The Bureau of Near Eastern Affairs, Office of Assistance Coordination (NEA/AC) seeks to elevate a key untapped labor market to address increasing threats in cyberspace: Women. Women's inclusion in cybersecurity addresses two challenges in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region: 1) greater capacity for the private sector to combat cyber threats, and 2) increased job opportunities for women in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) who face logistical and societal constraints to employment. Enhancing the MENA region's private sector cybersecurity capacity supports the U.S. government's goal to foster inclusive economic growth and increase women's participation in STEM-related fields.
