REF: 10 STATE 12531
1. U.S. Embassy Bridgetown received a vigorous response to the U.S.
Secretary of State's request for proposals under the "Women's
Global Issues" small grants initiative. A total of 65 proposals
were received by the early deadlines established by Embassies
Bridgetown and Grenada, with at least an additional 30 turned away
in order to allow for internal review and evaluation of those
received by said deadlines.
2. Embassy Bridgetown is unique in that it is responsible for
diplomatic activities in seven separate island nations:
Antigua-Barbuda, Barbados, Dominica, Grenada (which has a single
American officer Embassy),St. Kitts-Nevis, St. Lucia, and St.
Vincent and the Grenadines. Hence, seven (7) individual project
proposals are being submitted separately under the auspices of the
aforementioned grant program, which represent the best submitted
from each nation with respect to the program's criteria as well as
the Mission's Strategic Plan (MSP) objectives. In order to address
the widest range of issues that complement program criteria and the
MSP, the seven proposals can be grouped into the following
categories: food security and economic opportunity (St. Kitts-Nevis
and Dominica),democracy and political empowerment (St. Lucia),and
gender-based violence (Antigua-Barbuda, Barbados, Grenada, St.
Vincent and the Grenadines). In compliance with reftel
instructions, which indicate a limitation of one submission per
country, Embassy Bridgetown submits the following for Barbados.
Barbados
Organization: Business and Professional Women's Club of Barbados
Project Management: Same as organization
Amount requested: $99,940.00
Objective: Development of sexual assault protocol and training
program to enhance capacity of law enforcement, civil sector, and
other key stakeholders and responders to such incidents.
