Opportunity Information: Apply for WHAP WHAAQPPC 16 004

The U.S. Department of State's Bureau of Western Hemisphere Affairs (WHA) is offering a funding opportunity aimed at enhancing Small Business Development Centers (SBDCs) across Central America. The funding, which could reach up to 1,188,118, is part of the FY 2015 Economic Support Funds and will support projects for a maximum of three years. The SBDC model promotes local economic growth by helping small businesses through consultation, training, and resources, ultimately leading to job creation and retention.

Since 2010, Central American nations have made considerable investments in developing their own SBDC systems, resulting in the establishment of 38 centers often linked to local universities. This initiative will focus on strengthening the SBDC framework in countries such as El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Belize, Costa Rica, Nicaragua, and Panama. Additionally, there will be a specific effort to ensure equal access to resources for women entrepreneurs. Questions regarding the opportunity must be submitted by June 13, 2016.
