Women's Political, Educational, and Economic Development for Afghanistan: The Office of Citizen Exchanges of the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs, United States Department of State, on behalf of the US-Afghan Women's Council and in cooperation with the Office of International Women's Issues of the US Department of State, announces an open competition for grants to support a series of exchanges and training programs promoting "Women's Political, Educational, and Economic Development in Afghanistan." U.S. public and private non-profit organizations meeting the provisions described in Internal Revenue Code section 26 USC 501(c)(3) may submit proposals to develop and implement exchanges and training programs involving participants from Afghanistan, including training conducted in Afghanistan. These U.S. organizations should have a current presence in Afghanistan, or experience working in Afghanistan, and work in conjunction with Afghan NGO partners. This competition is in direct support of the work plan developed by the US-Afghan Women's Council, which seeks to carry out training programs in partnership with provincial Women's Resource Centers. Up to five grants, not exceeding $150,000 each, may be awarded. Depending on the types and number of proposals received, more than one award may be made in some areas of focus and no awards may be made in others. Proposals that clearly demonstrate significant cost-sharing - with 50% of the amount requested from ECA as the preferred target - will be judged more competitive. For example, an organization requesting $150,000 would be more competitive if the proposal presents at least $75,000 in allowable cost sharing. A maximum of 10 Afghans traveling to the US will be permitted for each grant awarded under this competition, and all individuals traveling to the US should use their US experience directly for carrying out programs in Afghanistan after their return home. Deadline for submissions is Friday, February 6, 2004.
