About this opportunity
The Department of State Bureau of Near Eastern Affairs seeks proposals for projects in Egypt advancing U.S. commercial diplomacy and economic objectives, with rolling review beginning after the initial round deadline closed on August 31, 2026.
Eligible applicants include U.S. and foreign nonprofits, for-profit organizations, higher education institutions, public international organizations, and small businesses with functional and regional experience. Each solicitation specifies additional eligibility constraints.
Proposals must demonstrate how projects leverage assistance as a tool of statecraft to advance U.S. economic, security, and diplomatic objectives. Programming should promote trade by championing American enterprise and infrastructure and catalyzing private capital through market principles. Eligible sectors include energy development and exports; trade facilitation; emerging technologies (particularly AI and telecommunications); critical infrastructure (aviation, transport); critical minerals; regional economic integration; advanced manufacturing; workforce training aligned with U.S. business needs; and economic recovery in conflict-affected areas. Projects must orient implementing partners toward the American business community, foster burden-sharing, and demonstrate how they will help U.S. businesses secure foreign contracts and tenders for key projects.
NEA/AC may decide to grant multiple awards, one award, or no awards, subject to funding availability and proposal viability. Award ceiling, floor, and expected number of awards are not specified in this solicitation. Recent awards under the parent program (CFDA 19.600) range from under $250 thousand to $5 million, with typical magnitudes clustering in the $2 million to $3.75 million range.
The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement. Period of performance and place of performance are not specified. Pre-award coordination is required. Solicitations are reviewed by panels comprised of area and subject matter experts drawn from inside and outside the State Department, including from NGOs and the private sector.
