Opportunity Summary:
The Gender-Based Violence Prevention and Awareness Caravan is a discretionary grant opportunity released by the U.S. Department of State through the U.S. Embassy in New Delhi (Funding Opportunity Number S-ND-POL-16-001; CFDA 19.801). The program is designed to reduce both the prevalence and the severity of gender-based violence (GBV) in four North Indian states: Uttar Pradesh, Punjab, Rajasthan, and Haryana. At its core, the initiative aims to shift community awareness and attitudes while also strengthening the capacity of local stakeholders to recognize, prevent, and respond to GBV.
The project concept centers on a mobile, city-to-city caravan that will travel across North Indian urban areas to conduct GBV awareness outreach. This caravan is intended to function as a visible, accessible platform for public engagement, helping bring conversations about GBV into community spaces where people can learn about the issue, its consequences, and prevention approaches. In addition to the caravan, the program calls for gender sensitization trainings targeted at two key audiences: members of the general public and local government representatives. The goal is not only to inform individuals, but also to influence institutional and governance environments by equipping local officials and community members with practical understanding and strategies. The program also includes a concluding conclave that brings trainees together to exchange lessons learned, highlight effective practices, and help spread successful approaches beyond individual training sessions.
Eligibility is limited to certain types of organizations with the capacity to implement public-facing outreach and training at scale. Eligible applicants include educational and research institutions, U.S. nonprofit or non-governmental organizations with 501(c)(3) status, and foreign nonprofit organizations/NGOs/social enterprises. The announcement emphasizes that applicants must closely follow the full NOFO instructions and submit complete applications that meet the stated eligibility and content requirements, since incomplete or ineligible submissions will not be considered.
Funding is provided under FY 2016 Diplomatic and Consular Program (DCP) Public Diplomacy funds, with program authority grounded in the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961, as amended. The grant’s planned period of performance runs from August 2016 through August 2018, giving implementers up to two years to plan, execute, and close out activities. The notice lists an award ceiling of $275,000. The posting also references expectations around federal grants compliance, specifically noting that applicants should be familiar with OMB guidance in 2 CFR Part 200, which governs administrative requirements, cost principles, and audit requirements for federal awards.
Administrative details included in the opportunity indicate it was created on June 23, 2016, with an original application deadline of July 22, 2016. The Embassy’s point of contact is Jake Miner at the North India Office, who is named for applicant questions and coordination.
