Opportunity Information: Apply for DRLA DRLAQM 17 076
The Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights and Labor (DRL) at the U.S. Department of State is offering a discretionary grant through an open competition to support work in Tunisia focused on preventing and responding to gender-based violence (GBV). The opportunity is designed to strengthen how both government actors and civil society organizations in Tunisia address GBV, with an emphasis on improving legal protections, making implementation of existing or emerging GBV laws more victim-sensitive, expanding public understanding of rights and GBV, and building stronger systems for reporting abuse and connecting survivors to services.
At its core, the grant aims to boost the overall capacity and effectiveness of Tunisian stakeholders working on GBV. DRL is looking for projects that do more than provide short-term assistance; the intent is to improve the environment in which GBV prevention and response happens. That includes supporting advocacy that leads to better legal protection for survivors and people at risk, and helping ensure that any GBV-related legislation is not only on the books but also applied in practice in ways that prioritize survivor safety, dignity, confidentiality, and access to justice. A major theme is bridging the gap between policy and real-world outcomes by promoting victim-centered procedures within institutions that interact with survivors.
The notice also highlights the importance of awareness-raising and education around rights and GBV. This suggests a strong interest in projects that help communities, potential survivors, and frontline actors better recognize GBV, understand available legal protections and services, and reduce barriers to seeking help. In addition, DRL specifically calls out the need for effective reporting and service-provision mechanisms, pointing to systems-level improvements such as clearer referral pathways, stronger coordination among service providers, and reporting channels that survivors can realistically and safely use.
Funding for this opportunity has an award ceiling of up to $750,000, and DRL anticipates making one award. The funding instrument is a grant, and the program is listed under CFDA number 19.345. The opportunity was created on June 6, 2017, with an original application closing date of August 4, 2017.
Eligible applicants include a broad range of organizations: public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status, nonprofits without 501(c)(3) status (as long as they are not institutions of higher education), and other entities as described in the additional eligibility information referenced in the notice. The funding opportunity number is DRLA DRLAQM 17 076, and it is administered by the Department of State, Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights and Labor.
Overall, this NOFO is best understood as a targeted investment in Tunisia aimed at strengthening the legal, institutional, and community response to GBV. DRL is signaling that successful proposals should support practical improvements in protections and implementation, increase informed public engagement and rights awareness, and create or strengthen mechanisms that make reporting violence and accessing services safer, easier, and more effective for survivors.Apply for DRLA DRLAQM 17 076
