The Academy for Women Entrepreneurs (AWE): The Public Affairs Section of the U.S. Embassy Kuala Lumpur of the U.S. Department of State announces an open competition for organizations to submit applications to carry out a program to develop and implement the Academy for Women Entrepreneurs (AWE) in Malaysia. The program was established by the U.S. Department of State's Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs (ECA) in 2019 to empower women with the knowledge, network, and access they need to launch or scale up successful businesses. Since the launch of the program, AWE has empowered more than 25,000 women entrepreneurs with nearly 100 cohorts worldwide. https://eca.state.gov/awe AWE uses the following online training modules: i) Dreambuilder for young and underdeveloped entrepreneurs and the ii) 100 Million Learners Bootcamp on Global Entrepreneurship & Innovation for more advanced entrepreneurs. Both modules are developed by Arizona State University's Thunderbird School of Global Management. Please carefully follow all instructions below. Applicants of this funding opportunity should be aware that the program focuses on two groups of entrepreneurs with a timeline between 6-9 months. A call for applicants to participate in the program needs to be conducted and the selection process is to be done in consultation with relevant embassy officers. Online training will be given by AWE to guide grantee applicants in best practices to conduct the program. Apart from the online modules, other aspects on local training content including relevant talks, networking gatherings and mentorship should be included in the program plan. The program should be carried out in at least 5 states in Malaysia including Klang Valley. Applicants should assign a facilitator for every state to oversee the progress of the women entrepreneurs and to conduct more state level sessions to build their network. At the end of the program, the applicant should do a closing ceremony to highlight the success stories from the women entrepreneurs. Applicants should also seek buy in from relevant government ministries, agencies and other stakeholders. Applicants are encouraged to conduct virtual talks by relevant businesswomen and established entrepreneurs for the AWE participants and alumni in the Indo Pacific Region in consultation with the AWE team at the U.S. Embassy.
