Opportunity Information: Apply for SCAISB 24 AW 006 02062024
The Men Engaged in Ending Violence Against Women grant opportunity is a U.S. Department of State public diplomacy grant being offered through the Consulate General in Peshawar, Pakistan. It is structured as an open competition for a single award (pending funding availability) to support a focused training initiative in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP). The central idea is to use sports as a practical entry point for reshaping harmful norms around masculinity and helping men and boys understand, prevent, and speak up against gender-based violence (GBV).
The funded project is expected to deliver a five-day Masterclass Residency Program that trains 40 sports coaches drawn from different KP sports boards. The selected implementing organization must handle recruitment of these coaches and cover the core participation costs for the residency, including travel, lodging, and meals. The underlying rationale is that sports spaces strongly influence how boys learn what it means to be a man, both through direct coaching and through unspoken cultural cues. By training coaches to model and teach healthier norms, the program aims to influence young athletes at scale and help reduce tolerance for violence and harassment against women.
Content-wise, the masterclass is meant to combine socio-cultural learning with life skills development so coaches can later pass these lessons on to boys and young men in their communities. The notice highlights specific topic areas that should be included, such as defining and recognizing gender-based violence, practicing bystander intervention to stop or interrupt harmful behavior, building self-awareness, and understanding power dynamics (including different types of power). The expected outcome is that coaches leave with practical knowledge and coaching tools that translate into improved attitudes and behaviors toward women, along with a clearer, broader understanding of what constitutes violence against women, including behaviors that may be normalized but are still harmful.
A distinctive requirement is that the masterclass must be conducted in consultation with a U.S.-based organization that already has demonstrated experience engaging men and boys to prevent GBV and counter sexual harassment. This U.S. partner is expected to contribute training materials and an effective methodology that can be adapted and disseminated through the KP coaches. In other words, proposals should not treat the U.S. connection as symbolic; the opportunity anticipates a real technical partnership that strengthens curriculum design and delivery.
The program also includes a follow-on component: after the masterclass, small grants will be provided to participating coaches so they can run youth engagement activities focused on the role boys and young men can play in ending GBV. This extends the project beyond a one-time workshop and is intended to support local, coach-led actions in sports environments, using sports as the "hook" to keep youth engaged while promoting a positive, healthy understanding of masculinity.
Eligibility is limited to non-profit, non-governmental entities, including not-for-profit organizations and civil society/NGO applicants. For-profit entities are explicitly not eligible to apply as the prime recipient, even if they otherwise resemble eligible categories. The prime awardee may subcontract parts of the work to other entities, but only one non-profit, non-governmental organization can serve as the main recipient, and proposals must clearly define the responsibilities of each partner or subcontractor.
Key administrative details include the funding opportunity number SCAISB 24 AW 006 02062024, a grant instrument type, an "Other" activity category, and CFDA number 19.501. The award ceiling is up to $100,000, with one expected award. The opportunity was created on February 6, 2024, and the original closing date was April 8, 2024.Apply for SCAISB 24 AW 006 02062024
