| Description: |
A. PROGRAM DESCRIPTION The Public Diplomacy (PD) section of the U.S. Embassy Zimbabwe under the U.S. Department of State announces an open competition for programs that strengthen women’s leadership skills and potential while also building connections with U.S. women in leadership positions. The PD section invites proposals from non-profit organizations, civil society organizations, academic institutions, and U.S. government alumni organizations to design and implement a leadership program that increases the skills, network and confidence of participants. The program should expand opportunities to develop capacity in leadership styles, teambuilding, presentations, conflict management, among others.
A compulsory component of all program proposals is to build ties and relationships between the United States and Zimbabwe. Proposals and must have a strong, central, American element, or connection with American expert(s), organization(s), or institution(s) (separate from involvement with the U.S. Mission or its American Corners). The partnerships should be mutually beneficial and reinforcing. Opportunities for engagement and partnerships can be virtual or physical. The PD section will support new or existing initiatives. Confirmed partners are not compulsory at the application stage; however, applicants must describe how the U.S. component will enhance the program.
Theory of Change: If Zimbabwean women at all ages have opportunities to develop and use leadership skills they will be able to participate more fully and lead in community development, the private sector, government, education, and online fora. If Zimbabwean women can connect with their peers in the United States, then they will be able to strengthen their knowledge and networks and leverage on this comparative advantage and exposure to best practices to deliver results in their focus areas. This program supports the U.S. Department of State’s Public Diplomacy support for enhanced community participation in development and democratic processes.
Program Objectives: All proposals must meet the following objectives: · Facilitate leadership development for Zimbabwe’s women. · Address some of the major barriers to women’s leadership in Zimbabwe. · Strengthen collaboration and build networks between Zimbabwe and U.S. leaders and organizations. Partnerships should facilitate mutually beneficial relationships, attract diverse audiences in an equitable manner, and build professional networks and an engaged citizenry in Zimbabwe.
We are looking for creative proposals that build real relationships, offer opportunities for hands-on leadership skills development, and offer mentorship.
Participants and Audiences: Proposals must engage with current and future women leaders. Programs can promote inclusivity by targeting women, youth, people living with disabilities, and rural communities. Successful projects will facilitate U.S. and Zimbabwean citizen participation and leadership skills.
