Opportunity Information: Apply for PAS MOROCCO FY21 04
This funding opportunity comes from the U.S. Department of State, U.S. Embassy Rabat (Public Affairs Office) and is a competitive Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) for a cooperative agreement to run an "USG Exchange Programs Integration Seminar 2021" in Morocco. Despite the label you provided ("TechCamp for Cultural Heritage Preservation"), the text of the announcement is focused on integrating and supporting alumni and finalists of U.S. Government exchange programs whose in-person participation was disrupted by the Covid-19 pandemic. The Embassy is seeking one nonprofit implementer to plan and deliver two separate, in-person style seminar events (each two days long) for a combined total of about 65 participants, and to handle both the substantive program design and all related logistics in close coordination with the Embassy.
The core activities are two seminars with different audiences. The first is a two-day seminar for roughly 40 youth exchange finalists who completed virtual exchanges instead of traveling to the United States. The program is expected to help them integrate into an active alumni network by creating structured networking opportunities, connecting them with Moroccan role models and leaders (ideally established alumni leaders), and guiding them to develop sustainable project ideas and mutually beneficial networks. It also must include a "giving back" component, meaning practical workshops that build participants' capacity to design and implement community projects using models or approaches they encountered during their exchange experience. A third required element is exposure to future educational and professional opportunities, including resources that can support their next academic steps, employability, and professional growth.
The second event is a two-day seminar for about 25 professional exchange finalists, generally ages 25 to 40, who similarly did not participate in an in-person U.S. program due to the pandemic. This seminar mirrors the youth seminar structure but is tailored to professional needs: facilitating networking among participants, connecting them with Moroccan leaders relevant to their fields, and helping them identify strategies for dealing with and overcoming Covid-19 related challenges. The Embassy also wants the agenda to create space for participants to present and refine follow-on project ideas and to encourage collaboration with established exchange alumni. The "giving back" element remains central here as well, potentially including a site visit to a community service oriented organization. The announcement lists example themes that could shape workshops or site visits such as women’s empowerment, economic development, climate change and the environment, and cultural heritage. The final required element is, again, practical guidance on future educational and professional development opportunities and resources.
A major part of what the grantee is being funded to do is full logistical support. That includes arranging or reimbursing participant travel to and from the seminar locations, providing hotel accommodations, securing conference space, organizing meals, supplying necessary materials, and ensuring insurance coverage for each event. Because this is a cooperative agreement rather than a standard grant, the Public Affairs Office expects to be actively involved: the Embassy will provide the participant lists, advise on program content and potential speakers, and consult with the awardee on venue selection and other key logistical decisions.
On funding and timing, the award is expected to be a single cooperative agreement, contingent on available funds, with a typical performance period of 6 to 12 months and activities completed within 12 months or less. The anticipated program start is Fall 2021, and applicants are instructed not to propose a start date earlier than October 15, 2021. The budget range stated is a minimum of USD 20,000 and a maximum of USD 50,000, with the total amount available listed as TBD. Funding is through FY21 Smith-Mundt Public Diplomacy funds under CFDA 19.040.
Eligibility is limited to nonprofit organizations, and the notice emphasizes civil-society organizations with familiarity and experience with U.S. Government exchange programs. Applicants must meet standard U.S. government registration and compliance requirements, including obtaining a DUNS number (unique entity identifier), an NCAGE/CAGE code, and an active SAM.gov registration. There is no required cost share or matching amount for this competition, meaning proposals are not required to include a minimum percentage of non-federal contributions.
Proposals are evaluated on how well they address the stated objectives, the applicant’s demonstrated ability to manage the seminars and participants, and the strength of the monitoring and evaluation approach, including administering an online survey focused on organizational aspects of the seminar. Reviewers will also look for compelling, well-structured content and a stimulating agenda, plus clear plans for strengthening ties between exchange alumni and the U.S. Embassy Rabat and for reinforcing connections within the broader Morocco alumni community. Applications were due Sunday, August 1, 2021, and required submission of standard federal forms (SF-424, SF-424A, SF-424B) along with an English project narrative, organizational information, and a detailed budget proposal in USD. The listed points of contact for questions were Fatima-Zahra Slimani (SlimaniFZ@state.gov) and Majda Bourich (bourichm@state.gov).Apply for PAS MOROCCO FY21 04
