*Summary:*  The Office of Citizen Exchanges of the Bureau of Educational
and Cultural Affairs announces an open competition for TechWomen. Public
and private non-profit organizations meeting the provisions described in
Internal Revenue Code section 26 USC 501(c)(3) may submit proposals to
conduct one or two professional mentorship exchange programs. Applicants
should plan to demonstrate the capacity to recruit and select 1) a total of
approximately 42 women from Algeria, Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon, Libya,
Morocco, the Palestinian Territories, Tunisia and Yemen; or 2) a total of
approximately 36 women from Cameroon, Kenya, Nigeria, Rwanda, Sierra Leone,
South Africa and Zimbabwe, to participate in a four- to six-week peer
mentoring program in the United States. The mentoring experience will focus
on advancing the status of professional women in the field of technology
through project-based mentorships, networking opportunities, and
enhancement activities. Funding will also support activities in the
participants' home countries that encourage the interest of girls in
technology-based careers, and that engage young women using technology in
their professions. It is the Bureau's intent to award two cooperative
agreements (each with one base year plus two option years) for
approximately $7,215,000 for both awards combined over the total life of
the cooperative agreements.
