Opportunity Information: Apply for PAS MOROCCO FY22 06
The Coalition Training for Women Parliamentarians grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number PAS-MOROCCO-FY22-06; CFDA 19.040) is a U.S. Department of State, U.S. Embassy Rabat Public Affairs Office funding call to support a three-day, in-country training program in Morocco for up to 40 Moroccan women parliamentarians during calendar year 2023. The central idea is to convene women MPs from across the political spectrum and help them strengthen coalition-building skills so they can work together on a shared legislative objective. The program is meant to be practical and outcome-oriented, combining capacity-building and networking with a clear public-facing component that elevates a mutually agreed reform topic and produces a realistic strategy designed to achieve legislative progress.
The focus areas for the coalition work and reform agenda are specifically tied to women and girls rights, personal freedoms, family law, and/or penal code reform. A key expectation is that the selected implementing organization (the grantee) will not simply deliver generic training, but will actively facilitate participant discussions to identify one common reform issue within those fields, then guide the group in developing tactics, a timeline, and measurable outcomes that can plausibly lead to legislative wins. The Embassy anticipates close coordination throughout, including consultation on participants, speakers, programming, and logistical decisions, because the award will be issued as a cooperative agreement rather than a more hands-off grant.
The Embassy expects one award, with total funding available up to USD 65,000, contingent on funding availability, and it notes explicitly that the Department of State is not required to fund any or all submitted proposals. The performance period is described as 12 to 18 months in the award information section, while the program performance period narrative also indicates proposed activities should be completed in 12 months or less, so applicants would need to design a workplan that fits within those stated expectations and aligns with Embassy coordination. The funding source is FY22 Smith-Mundt Public Diplomacy Funds. The project start date is to be mutually agreed, but proposals should not plan to start before January 15, 2023, even though the notice references an anticipated start date during calendar year 2022.
Eligible applicants include qualified U.S. and international non-profit/non-governmental organizations registered in Morocco, as well as Moroccan NGOs/associations, with the requirement that all grantees have non-profit status. Applicants must meet standard U.S. government award compliance steps, including obtaining a Unique Entity Identifier (UEI), NCAGE/CAGE code, and completing SAM registration, and they must not be listed on the Excluded Parties List System in SAM (in line with federal debarment and suspension rules). Cost sharing is allowed but not required; there is no minimum or maximum matching percentage specified.
Proposals are expected to cover four main implementation pillars. First is logistical support, including arranging or reimbursing participant travel, providing hotel lodging as needed, securing conference space, and covering meals, receptions, and necessary supplies. Second is content and training design, which includes creating the curriculum, organizing networking components, and identifying and managing trainers, speakers, and facilitators; suggested training topics include communications, leadership, organization and networking skills, strategic planning, and media training, along with any other skills that directly improve coalition effectiveness. Third is monitoring and evaluation, requiring a plan that uses pre- and post-training surveys and qualitative feedback to measure learning, coalition cohesion, and progress toward intended outcomes over time. Fourth is media and social media, requiring coordination with the Embassy press office plus the provision of photo and video coverage to generate visual content and public attention around the selected reform issue and the coalition effort.
Applications were due Sunday, July 24, 2022, by midnight, submitted electronically to Rabatgrants@state.gov. Required submission materials include the SF-424 (Application for Federal Assistance), SF-424A (Budget Information), SF-424B (Assurances), an English project narrative, an applicant organizational information form, and a detailed budget in USD. Proposals are reviewed in two stages: an initial technical eligibility/completeness review, followed by a competitive evaluation by a Grants Review Committee made up of U.S. Mission Morocco personnel, using the program criteria and required components described in the notice.Apply for PAS MOROCCO FY22 06
