Opportunity Information: Apply for DOS PTA 202007
The Academy for Women Entrepreneurs (AWE) - South Africa grant opportunity is a U.S. Department of State initiative administered through the Public Affairs Section of the U.S. Embassy in South Africa (Pretoria). It invites eligible organizations to submit concept notes proposing how they would implement a women-focused entrepreneurship training program in South Africa in collaboration with the U.S. Department of State and Arizona State University. The funding is provided through a cooperative agreement, meaning the selected implementer should expect an active partnership with the U.S. Embassy and related stakeholders during planning and delivery rather than operating completely independently.
At the center of the program is DreamBuilder, an online entrepreneurship and business management curriculum created by Arizona State Universitys Thunderbird School of Global Management in partnership with Freeport-McMoRan. The program design combines online learning with facilitated, in-person engagement. Participants are expected to complete ten DreamBuilder sessions and then gather in person to watch sessions together and/or discuss the material after completing modules online. A key feature is structured facilitation: in-person course facilitators lead discussions, guide participants through practical applications, and serve as mentors, helping participants develop core business skills such as writing business plans, researching markets for products or services, and learning foundational operational topics like staffing and hiring.
The opportunity is specifically seeking organizations that can both run the training program and design a follow-on engagement strategy that continues supporting participants after the formal DreamBuilder sessions. In other words, proposals should not stop at delivering training; they should describe how the implementer will keep alumnae engaged, connected to mentors, and supported in applying what they learned, including networking opportunities with peers and mentors from participants regions and from the United States. The implementing partner is also expected to conduct a pre-launch training program for facilitators from across South Africa, with that facilitator training taking place in Johannesburg. Facilitator preparation is a required component, since the programs effectiveness relies heavily on consistent, high-quality in-person guidance.
In terms of eligibility and basic award details, the opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number DOS PTA 202007) is open to public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, and nonprofit organizations both with and without U.S. 501(c)(3) status. The award ceiling listed is USD 37,000, with one award expected. The original posting date is February 12, 2020, with an original closing date of March 15, 2020. The relevant CFDA numbers are 19.022 and 19.040, and the activity category is listed as Other (with further clarification referenced in the full announcement text).
A crucial point is that this announcement is not recruiting individual entrepreneurs to join AWE. It is a call for implementing organizations to propose how they would manage and deliver the program on the ground, including logistics, facilitation, participant engagement, and post-program alumni or follow-on support.
