Opportunity Information: Apply for SCAISB 21 AW 014 01282021
The Women Entrepreneurs Program is a U.S. Department of State funding opportunity run through the U.S. Mission to Pakistan, specifically the Public Affairs Section (PAS) at the U.S. Consulate General in Lahore. It is structured as a discretionary grant or cooperative agreement intended to support a public diplomacy program focused on women entrepreneurs. In practical terms, the program is designed to fund an organization that can develop and deliver activities that advance U.S. public diplomacy goals while strengthening women-led entrepreneurship in Pakistan, consistent with the requirements described in the opportunity materials (referenced as Section C in the full announcement). Additional background on the PAS in Lahore is available through the consulate website: https://pk.usembassy.gov/embassy-consulates/lahore/.
This opportunity was published under the title "Women Entrepreneurs Program" with the funding opportunity number SCAISB 21 AW 014 01282021. The issuing agency is the Department of State, U.S. Mission to Pakistan, and the assistance listing (CFDA) number attached to the opportunity is 19.501. The grant was posted on January 28, 2021, and the original application deadline was March 31, 2021. The funding instrument type is a grant (with the possibility of a cooperative agreement depending on the level of U.S. government involvement in implementation, as is typical for these types of public diplomacy awards).
The applicant the government is looking for is a legally recognized non-profit, non-governmental organization that can meet both U.S. and Pakistani legal and technical requirements. While the eligibility field is broadly labeled "Others" in the source data, the narrative makes clear that the implementer must be an NGO/non-profit that is properly registered and capable of managing a U.S. government-funded project with the required compliance, reporting, and financial controls. The intent is to select one implementer, as the announcement anticipates a single award.
Funding is capped at an award ceiling of $250,000, with one expected award. That ceiling indicates the maximum amount the U.S. government planned to provide under this opportunity, and applicants would typically be expected to propose a project approach and budget that fit within that limit while meeting the program objectives. Overall, the opportunity is best understood as a competitive solicitation for one qualified non-profit partner to design and execute a women entrepreneurship-focused public diplomacy initiative in Lahore’s consular district or in a way that supports the mission’s broader goals in Pakistan.Apply for SCAISB 21 AW 014 01282021
