Opportunity Information: Apply for PRMECON 15 GR 001 WHA 030915

The U.S. Embassy in San Jose, Costa Rica is announcing a funding opportunity aimed at enhancing social and economic conditions to bolster citizen security and government transparency, thereby fostering a culture resistant to corruption. The initiative will award up to $900,000 in total funding, with plans to issue four grants. The project is set to begin on September 30, 2015, and will last no longer than two years.

This funding aligns with the objectives of the Central America Regional Security Initiative (CARSI), focusing on strengthening institutions to combat organized crime, uphold the rule of law, and protect human rights across Central America. The Embassy seeks proposals from qualified U.S.-based non-profits, NGOs, and international organizations, as well as institutions of higher education that can address one of two primary goals:

1. Job creation for youth and women in economically disadvantaged communities, providing safe alternatives to crime and drug-related activities. 2. Enhancing government transparency, particularly through e-government initiatives, to improve citizen access to government services and facilitate the process for businesses starting up in Costa Rica.

The Embassy reserves the right to approve or reject any applications and will evaluate proposals based on their alignment with the stated objectives. Interested organizations are encouraged to review the full details of the opportunity and its requirements. For more information, inquiries can be directed to the U.S. Embassy in San Jose via email or phone.
