Middle East Partnership Initiative
Description
- The Office of the Partnership Initiative (NEA/PI)
announces an open competition for proposals to strengthen women’s
participation in all aspects of society and promote women’s equality in
the Middle East and North Africa (MENA). In Cairo, President Obama
remarked that our common prosperity is advanced by ensuring all human
beings – men and women – reach their potential. On International
Women’s Day, Secretary Clinton voiced her unwavering support for
women’s empowerment, stating that “…we have much less hope of
addressing the complex challenges we face in this new century without
the full participation of women.” This funding opportunity seeks to
address the Administration’s commitment to supporting the women of the
Middle East and North Africa in their efforts to reach their full
potential.
The following MENA countries may be proposed: Algeria, Bahrain, Egypt,
Israel, Iraq, Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Libya, Morocco, Oman, Qatar,
Saudi Arabia, Syria, Tunisia, UAE, and Yemen. In line with the
Administration’s vision, NEA/PI seeks applications to address the
following two priority areas:
A) Organizational Capacity Building for Women’s Organizations: This
priority area aims to strengthen women-run or -focused civil society
organizations in the MENA region. B) Development of Women’s Caucuses
and Unions: This priority area seeks to build platforms for and connect
female political activists through the development of women’s caucuses
and unions – nationally and regionally. Caucus for the purpose of this
RFA should be interpreted broadly and is not only meant to refer to
formal coalitions in national parliaments and municipal councils.
