Opportunity Summary:
The Niger Integrated Gender Equality Promotion and Local Solutions Project was a discretionary U.S. government grant opportunity offered by the U.S. Mission (Embassy) to Niger to support programs that advance gender equality through locally grounded, measurable interventions. The Embassy was seeking one qualified organization to help strengthen the Mission's broader strategy on gender equality in Niger by building synergies with existing local initiatives, drawing on in-country resources and expertise, and producing clear, trackable results that align with U.S. Mission objectives and partnerships. The opportunity emphasized collaboration and reinforcement of what is already working locally, rather than creating isolated, stand-alone activities.
This funding was structured as a Cooperative Agreement, meaning the U.S. government expected to be more actively engaged than it would be under a standard grant. In practice, that typically signals closer coordination with Embassy staff on planning, implementation, monitoring, and reporting to ensure activities remain aligned with mission priorities and achieve defined outcomes. The program fell under the funding activity theme of "Gender Equality" (listed within an "Other" category with a clarifying explanation), and it was associated with CFDA number 19.801, connected to the Office of Global Women's Issues.
The total anticipated funding was approximately $313,731, with an award range between $300,000 (floor) and $313,731 (ceiling). Only one award was expected, indicating a single implementer would be selected to lead the project. There was no cost-sharing or matching requirement, which reduced barriers for qualified organizations and allowed applicants to focus on program design and performance rather than securing additional non-federal contributions.
Eligibility was open to both U.S. and foreign nongovernmental organizations with operations in Niger. The listing also referenced nonprofit eligibility categories, including U.S. nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status and nonprofits without 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education), but the key eligibility note clarified that U.S. and non-U.S. NGOs operating in Niger could apply. This focus suggests the Embassy wanted applicants with proven capacity to operate in Niger's context, relationships with local stakeholders, and the ability to manage grant compliance and deliver results in-country.
The opportunity was posted on July 30, 2014, with an application deadline of August 18, 2014, and it was later archived on September 17, 2014. Applicants needing assistance accessing the full announcement were directed to contact Mireille Gbetholancy Kun, the Grants Unit Manager and Gender Focal Point at the U.S. Embassy in Niamey.
