Description
1) Objective
U.S. Embassy Port Louis announces an open competition for organizations in Mauritius and Rodrigues Island to submit applications to carry out a project through the Ambassador’s Special Self-Help Program. A grant agreement for up to $15,000-$20,000 (U.S. Dollars) in fiscal year (FY2023) Economic Support Funds (ESF) will be awarded (pending availability of funds) for work that will support organizations throughout the country. The period of performance is 12 months. Funding authority rests in the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961, as amended. Funding is provided for small construction projects, communal construction equipment, and durable goods.
Projects this year should fall under one or more of the following three categories:
· Small construction projects (less than 1,000 square meters)
· Communal construction equipment
· Miscellaneous durable goods
The Ambassador’s Special Self-Help Program provides small grants to assist community development projects that improve basic economic or social conditions in local communities. The small grants should aim to encourage self-reliance within local communities in Mauritius and Rodrigues Island by providing resources needed to turn a good idea into action.
2) Eligibility
Not-for-profit organizations, including civil society/non-governmental organizations and grassroots community-based organizations (CBOs) registered in Mauritius, are eligible to apply. For-profit entities, commercial organizations, Mauritian government agencies, parastatal bodies, and individuals are not eligible.
3) Location
Actions must take place in Mauritius.
4) Budget
The estimated total program funding is $30,000, with each award ranging from $15,000 to $20,000.
5) Application
Interested organizations should submit proposals by June 28, 2024, to PortLouisSelfHelp@state.gov. Projects should align with program objectives and benefit the community by addressing specific needs.
