About this opportunity
The U.S. Department of State's Bureau of Economic and Business Affairs is seeking applications for the Sister Ports Program, which aims to facilitate the sharing of best practices in port security and sustainable development. This 12-month cooperative agreement program will pair a foreign port, starting with Oman's Port of Duqm, with a similar-sized U.S. port to build relationships between commercial and government actors. Eligible applicants are 501(c)(3) nonprofits, public international organizations, and U.S. for-profit organizations. Key objectives include introducing ports to new trade relationships, U.S. government partners, and trusted maritime technology and industry representatives. The application deadline is July 8, 2024.
The total funding available for this cooperative agreement is $789,200. The program falls under the Department of State's Economic Statecraft grant (CFDA 19.322), which seeks to place economics and market forces at the center of U.S. foreign policy. Performance locations will be at the participating domestic and foreign port facilities, though the specific U.S. port has not been identified in the solicitation.
Synopsis
The Sister Ports Program aims to facilitate the sharing of best practices in port security and sustainable development by providing international and domestic ports with an opportunity to visit with each other and build relationships between commercial and government actors. The program will pair a foreign port with a U.S. port of a similar size, function, or strategic interest. This program will introduce ports to new trade relationships, U.S. government partners, and trusted maritime technology and industry representatives.
