IraqWidowsPrograms: The Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights and Labor (DRL) and the Secretary's Office of Global Women's Issues (S/GWI) announce a Request for Proposals (RFP) from organizations interested in submitting proposals to support and address the specific challenges and needs of widows and female heads of households in Iraq, in particular poor, isolated, and/or illiterate widows and female heads of households, including but not limited to rural areas, in multiple governorates. The Department of State recognizes that women's empowerment and equal and active civic involvement are key components of a thriving society. The Department is therefore deeply committed to ensuring that women's rights are fully integrated into U.S. foreign policy. To address the concerns and needs of women in Iraq, DRL and S/GWI announce an open competition for assistance from the U.S. Department of State's Fiscal Year 2009 Economic Support Funds (ESF) from organizations interested in submitting proposals for projects that focus on immediate support for widows and female heads of household in Iraq. Organizations should have a demonstrated capacity to work in Iraq on issues related to women and are encouraged to demonstrate how their proposed projects would address needs not covered by existing or other planned programs in Iraq and provide measurable outcomes. Applicants are also highly encouraged to identify local partners and NGOs in Iraq for segments of their proposed work plan. This request for proposals does not guarantee funding and is subject to approval by the Ambassador-at-Large of S/GWI, the Assistant Secretary of DRL, and the Office of Acquisitions Management.
