The grantee must identify the location(s) and venue(s) that will be used for this program (verified with a document/preliminary agreement) and will be responsible for recruiting participants.

## What the grant funds

SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT TO ALL POTENTIAL APPLICANTS: Due to the uncertain situation with the COVID19 quarantine in Cabo Verde, the Program can be postponed as according to the Government of Cabo Verde. Details will follow. In light of the restrictive travel and public gathering environments we face globally due to the COVID-19 pandemic situation, the U.S. Mission to Cabo Verde invites interested applicants to submit one or two proposals in response to the reference Notice of Funding Announcement (NOFO). One proposal may be based on “business as usual” environments, where international travel, large public gatherings, and other programming parameters are unaffected by public health constraints. A second proposal, which is optional, would describe your ideas on how to execute the desired project goals in a manner that accounts for restrictions on public gatherings and travel, as well as public health concerns. We encourage creative ideas for remote/online content delivery, online/virtual promotional activities, and virtual participant/audience follow-up. If you choose to submit two separate proposals, the associated budget submission may also reflect different costs you would project for these two operating environments. Applicants must also demonstrate competency to manage all financial aspects of the project, including participant costs and transparent arrangements of sub-grant relationships with partner organizations, if applicable. A. PROGRAM DESCRIPTION U.S. Embassy Praia is pleased to announce the acceptance of applications for the design and implementation of the English Access Microscholarship Program. Applications may be submitted at any time for consideration before the closing date on July 23, 2021 (11:59 p.m. GMT -1). Applicants are encouraged to apply early. Background The English Access Microscholarship Program (Access) is a global program supported by the U.S. Department of State. Access provides a foundation of English language skills to talented 13-15 year-olds from economically disadvantaged sectors through after-school classes and intensive sessions. Access gives participants English skills that may lead to better jobs and educational prospects. The program also gives participants the opportunity to gain an appreciation for U.S. culture and values.
