Opportunity Summary:
The Maghreb Higher Education Delegation grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number EB-13-01) is a U.S. Department of State Bureau of Economic and Business Affairs (EB) competition to support a single, 12-month project that strengthens higher education and workforce development ties between the United States and the Maghreb region (Algeria, Libya, Mauritania, Morocco, and Tunisia). The central goal is to help Maghreb officials and educators better understand practical community college and vocational training models, including how curricula are designed, delivered, and aligned with labor market needs. The program is intended to be implemented through a delegation of education professionals, paired with structured follow-up activities that reinforce learning and encourage longer-term adoption or collaboration rather than a one-off visit.
EB is looking for proposals that are technically sound, sustainable, and distinct in approach, with clear implementation plans and credible expertise behind them. Applicants are expected to propose key personnel and trainers who are regional experts, indicating that subject-matter strength and familiarity with Maghreb education and workforce contexts are important selection factors. While the activity focus is education, the broader rationale is economic: EB frames the work as part of its mission to advance prosperity and economic security by supporting international cooperation and promoting conditions that contribute to a more stable, democratic, and prosperous world.
The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which typically means the Department of State anticipates a more active role in the project compared with a standard grant (for example, collaboration on planning, coordination, or oversight). The opportunity is categorized as discretionary and tied to the Education activity area, with the CFDA listing noted as 19.322 (Economic Statecraft). The estimated total funding is $130,680, with an anticipated award range from $100,000 (floor) up to $130,680 (ceiling), and the program expects to make one award. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement.
Eligible applicants include U.S. and foreign non-profit organizations (including 501(c)(3) entities) as well as public and private institutions of higher education, and EB specifically notes it will consider proposals from both U.S.-based and Maghreb-based NGOs. The legal authority for funding is the Smith-Mundt Act of 1948, as amended, and the announcement emphasizes that any award is contingent on the availability of funds.
Key timing details in the posted notice show the opportunity was posted March 11, 2013, with an application deadline of April 11, 2013, and an archive date of May 11, 2013. For access issues related to the full announcement, the listed support channel is the Grants.gov help desk at 1-800-518-4726.
