What the grant funds

U.S. DEPARTMENT OF STATE U.S. Embassy Morocco Notice of Funding Opportunity Funding Opportunity Title: “Cyber Security Youth Program” Open Cooperative Agreement 2022 Funding Opportunity Number: PAS-MOROCCO-FY22-07 Deadline for Applications: August 05, 2022 Assistance Listing Number: 19.040 Total Amount Available: $50,000 A. PROGRAM DESCRIPTION The U.S. Embassy in Morocco announces an open competition for organizations to submit applications to compete for a Cooperative Agreement (CA) award for a new youth cyber security program. The Public Affairs Office invites proposals from established Moroccan associations, committed, and organized civil-society organizations and academic institutions, to design and implement a cyber security awareness program for 60 to 80 Moroccan youth between the ages of 18 and 24 years old. U.S. and third-country organizations or nationals are not eligible for grants under this program unless in partnership with a Moroccan NGO. Program Objectives: Youth are on the front lines of the risks and the rewards of the online world. Their passion for tech, games and other online activities makes them vulnerable to cyber-attacks, cyber bullying, and misinformation. Cyber touches everything. We use computer networks for just about everything we do in our current way of life. Therefore, it is important to defend our devices and services from electronic attacks by nefarious actors such as hackers, spammers, and cybercriminals. This program will teach 80 participants about the exciting world of cybersecurity and will provide hands on training on the basics of cybersecurity during workshops on Information Systems, Cyber Defense, Data Communications & Networking, Cryptography, Digital Forensics, the Internet of Things, and Combatting Mis- and Disinformation. The program should also include true-to-life security simulation, where participants will learn how to root out cyber threats and defend against a targeted attack. Participant will also be taught the fundamentals of securing computer operating systems such as Windows. They will also learn security features and settings in the operating systems—like password policies—and techniques for updating and creating a stronger, more secure system. Each proposal should meet the following objectives: Strengthen young Moroccans' knowledge of cyber security by exposure to U.S. experts and experience.
