Key requirements include demonstrating the applicant's ability to build the professional capacity of the target population through community-focused initiatives related to human rights and democracy. The evaluation criteria will assess the applicant's methodology, past performance, and management plan. Proposals are due by July 26, 2019.

The total award amount is not specified, but the project aims to support 25-40 young Cuban leaders over an unspecified timeline. The place of performance is Cuba, where the grantee will be responsible for implementing the professional development activities.

Synopsis

WHA seeks to develop the skills and abilities of a new generation of independent leaders to bolster Cubans' abilities to develop independent civil society communities and express ideas regarding human rights and democracy to peers and those outside Cuba. This cadre of professionals will model effective leadership of civil society organizations that effectively advocate for public interests, promote community engagement, support diversity, and further democratic practices in Cuba. In order to fulfill this purpose and meet this goal, this project will build the professional capacity of 25-40 young Cubans, ages 20-35, to advance community-focused causes related to human rights and democracy.
