## What the grant funds

PROGRAM DESCRIPTION The U.S. Embassy Niamey of the U.S. Department of State announces an open competition for organizations to submit applications to carry out a program to fortify relations between communities, women civil society leaders, and civilian security forces in Diffa Region. Please follow all instructions below. Priority Region: Diffa Region Program Description and Objectives: In 2021, the Trans-Saharan Counterterrorism Partnership-funded Nallewaro Project created both women-only and mixed-gender civilian-law enforcement networks that successfully integrated women into local conflict management processes. Following the Nallewaro Project closure in 2021, these networks continued to apply rapid-response mediation to intercommunal conflicts that threatened to destabilize violent extremist organization (VEO)-impacted localities in Diffa. As VEO attacks escalate in Diffa Region following the coup d’etat in July 2023, the Nallewaro women and mixed-gender security networks have continued to facilitate strong collaboration between communities and security forces. The post-coup d’etat change in regional government leadership, however, has stalled women’s integration into government security decision-making structures that would further institutionalize the Nallewaro women and mixed-gender security networks. Prospective projects should respond to the following goal: Women leaders in Diffa Region will increase their participation and institutionalize their leadership in regional and departmental peace and security decision-making by 2026. Prospective projects should reflect a strong strategic vision tailored to new security and political challenges in Diffa Region following the coup d’etat in July 2023. Prospective projects should build on previous Nallewaro Network activities and work to establish the network’s sustainability. Applicants are strongly encouraged against holding new trainings or duplicate activities from previous projects unless there is a newly identified need. Applicants are advised to focus on strategic activities that institutionalize the women’s and mixed gender Nallewaro Networks.
