Opportunity Information: Apply for EAP EAPAQM 17 005
The grant opportunity titled "Promoting Gender Equality in Decision-Making in the U.S. Freely Associated States" (Funding Opportunity Number EAP EAPAQM 17 005) is a discretionary funding competition offered by the U.S. Department of State, specifically the Bureau of East Asian and Pacific Affairs (EAP). It is designed to support a single project focused on strengthening gender equality in political representation and expanding women s participation in leadership and decision-making roles across the U.S. Freely Associated States. The geographic focus is limited to the Federated States of Micronesia (FSM), the Republic of the Marshall Islands (RMI), and the Republic of Palau, reflecting U.S. priorities in governance and inclusive leadership in the Pacific region.
Funding is provided through either a grant or a cooperative agreement, which typically means applicants should be prepared to work with the Department of State under a structure that may include varying levels of federal involvement, coordination, and reporting depending on the final award instrument. The total maximum award amount (award ceiling) is $109,000, and the Department anticipated making one award. The program is categorized under community development and regional development, and it is associated with CFDA number 19.124, which generally relates to State Department assistance and public diplomacy-related programming.
A range of applicant types are eligible, including county governments, city or township governments, public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, and U.S. nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status (excluding higher education institutions in that specific category). This eligibility structure suggests the Department was open to proposals from both governmental and non-governmental implementers, including universities and nonprofits that can design and deliver civic or leadership programs, training initiatives, community engagement efforts, and other structured interventions that increase women s participation in public life and decision-making.
The opportunity was posted on April 26, 2017, with an original application deadline of June 26, 2017. In practical terms, the project concept behind this funding is about addressing barriers that limit women s access to political and leadership roles in FSM, RMI, and Palau, and supporting initiatives that help women and girls build pathways into public service, governance, and other decision-making positions. While the summary description does not list required activities, the stated purpose clearly points toward programming that advances gender equality in representation and leadership, which can include skills development, mentorship, coalition building, leadership training, civic education, support for candidates or prospective leaders, or activities that encourage institutions and communities to adopt practices that broaden participation.Apply for EAP EAPAQM 17 005
