Opportunity Information: Apply for AFYDE TSCTP CVE WLP GR POLECON 2024
The U.S. Embassy in Yaounde, through its Political and Economic Section, is inviting applications for a 2024 grant competition under the Trans-Sahara Counterterrorism Partnership and Countering Violent Extremism (TSCTP/CVE) initiative called Women Leading Peace in West Africa. The core purpose of this opportunity is to support locally driven projects in Cameroon that strengthen women s leadership and influence in peace and security decision-making, while also addressing the conditions that make young people vulnerable to radicalization and recruitment by non-state armed groups. The program is specifically focused on the Northwest and Southwest regions of Cameroon, with results expected by March 2026, meaning applicants should propose activities that can realistically deliver measurable progress within that timeframe.
Projects submitted under this call are expected to align with two linked outcomes. First, they should increase the representation and participation of women in peace and security spaces, including local decision-making structures and community-level mechanisms that shape conflict prevention, mediation, early warning, and stabilization efforts. Second, they should contribute to reducing youth radicalization and recruitment into non-state armed groups, which implies a focus on prevention-oriented approaches such as community resilience, credible alternatives for at-risk youth, civic engagement, human-rights-informed programming, and locally trusted interventions that disrupt recruitment pathways. While the announcement does not prescribe specific activities, it signals a preference for proposals that are practical, grounded in local realities, and clearly tied to both women s leadership in peacebuilding and CVE outcomes.
Funding will be provided through a cooperative agreement, which typically means the U.S. government expects to have more substantial involvement in the project compared to a standard grant, such as close coordination, agreed milestones, and ongoing engagement throughout implementation. The award ceiling listed is USD 200,000, indicating the maximum amount an individual award can receive under this opportunity. The funding opportunity is associated with CFDA number 19.222 and is administered by the U.S. Mission to Cameroon. The original application closing date is June 23, 2024, so applicants would need to have their proposal, budget, and required documentation prepared and submitted by that deadline as specified in the official notice.
Eligibility is narrowly defined and limited to Cameroonian local registered community-based organizations, associations, and NGOs with at least two years of experience working in human rights and countering violent extremism. This is meant to ensure awards go to organizations that are established, legally registered locally, and already familiar with the technical and operational demands of rights-based CVE programming. The notice also makes clear that organizations with a prior history of poor performance on U.S. government grants are not eligible, which underscores the importance of demonstrating strong compliance, financial management, and successful delivery of past projects where applicable.
A key condition attached to this call is that awards depend on the U.S. Embassy receiving final funding for the TSCTP/CVE Women Leading Peace program. The embassy expects that funding before September 30, 2024, but it is not guaranteed. If the program is not approved or funding is not received, no grants will be awarded, even if strong proposals are submitted. In practical terms, applicants should treat this as a real opportunity but also plan with the understanding that final awards are contingent on the availability of funds.
In short, this opportunity targets Cameroonian civil society groups that can credibly deliver community-based peace and security initiatives that elevate women into decision-making roles and reduce youth recruitment into armed groups in the Northwest and Southwest, using approaches consistent with human rights and CVE best practices, within a performance window running through March 2026 and a maximum award size of $200,000.Apply for AFYDE TSCTP CVE WLP GR POLECON 2024
