USDS - Request for Proposals: Iraqi Women's Democracy Initiative

Program Summary

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 women in Iraq.
Proposals should focus on immediate support to promote women’s human rights and the inclusion of women in the social, political, and economic fabric of Iraqi society. Organizations should have a demonstrated capacity to work in Iraq on issues related to women and proposals should provide measurable outcomes and clearly explain how their proposed projects would address needs not covered by existing or other planned programs in Iraq. Proposals should not request less than $500,000 or more than $1,000,000.

UIC is restricted to one application.

Depending upon the number of LOIs submitted, OVCR might be required to facilitate an internal peer review process to select UIC’s submission(s) to this program.  White paper instructions will be posted if necessary.
