About this opportunity
The U.S. Embassy's Public Diplomacy and Political Sections in The Bahamas is seeking applications from not-for-profit, non-governmental, public international, and governmental organizations to carry out a program aimed at increasing women's involvement in politics and supporting democratic policies that promote women's equal rights. The program aims to educate, mentor, and empower girls and women to advocate for democratic principles and increased political participation, with the ultimate goal of fostering greater civic engagement and advocating for legislative changes to improve women's rights in The Bahamas. The application deadline is September 30, 2024.
This opportunity is funded through the Department of State's International Programs to Support Democracy, Human Rights and Labor (CFDA 19.345) grant program, which typically awards between $500,000 and $2 million for projects with 18-36 month performance periods. The program seeks to support projects that address human rights abuses, open political space, strengthen civil society, promote independent media, and advance labor rights globally, with a particular focus on countries facing democratic backsliding or human rights challenges.
