Description

The Bureau of Near Eastern Affairs’ Office of Assistance Coordination’s (NEA/AC) seeks proposals that support inclusive economic growth in Tunisia. Competitive proposals will support activities targeting specific demographics: females, religious and ethnic minorities, youth, and People With Disabilities (PWD). The beneficiaries should receive some combination of soft- and job-skills along with English language training. Proposals which have an innovative approach and/or have concrete outcomes such as professional development opportunities (i.e. internships or apprenticeships) or scholarships attained will be looked on favorably. Relevant past experience can also be referenced in the proposal. This is not a follow-on award.
