Opportunity Information: Apply for SCAISB 22 AW 020 01262022
The U.S. Department of State, through the Public Affairs Section of the U.S. Consulate General Karachi, is offering a competitive grant under its Public Diplomacy Grants Program to strengthen how local organizations in and around Karachi, Sindh, prevent and respond to workplace harassment, with a clear emphasis on harassment affecting women. The core idea is practical: help small and medium-sized organizations build or upgrade the internal systems that make reporting harassment easier, safer, and more credible, so employees are more likely to come forward and organizations are better equipped to respond appropriately.
The project is designed as an 18-month implementation effort in which the selected grantee works directly with roughly 20 to 25 local organizations across different sectors. The grant expects hands-on assistance for each participating organization, especially for Human Resources staff and any relevant internal bodies, to design, develop, and/or improve workplace harassment policies, reporting procedures, and supporting manuals. Rather than stopping at drafting documents, the opportunity specifically calls for comprehensive support as organizations put these new or improved systems into practice, which implies follow-through, troubleshooting, and guidance during rollout.
A major component is training. Proposals are expected to deliver workshops for multiple groups inside participating organizations, including general employees, HR departments, workplace harassment committees, and senior management. Training topics and structure should be driven by a research-based needs assessment and informed by best practices from U.S. institutions, with the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission cited as an example reference point. At a minimum, the training and technical assistance should result in usable manuals, clear policies, and functioning reporting structures, meaning employees should know what behavior is prohibited, how to report concerns, what protections exist, how complaints are handled, and what responsibilities managers and committees have.
The grant also emphasizes communication tools that organizations can immediately use in the workplace. Applicants should plan to produce supplementary awareness and guidance materials such as digital assets and static posters or graphics that participating organizations can display or circulate internally. These materials are meant to reinforce the policy changes and training by making expectations and reporting pathways visible and easy to understand.
Beyond the work with the 20 to 25 organizations, the selected implementer is expected to create exemplar resources for the broader public. This includes developing model digital trainings, posters, and manuals rooted in recognized best practices (including U.S.-informed approaches) but tailored for local audiences. These resources must be made available online, free of charge, to support wider public awareness and to allow other organizations outside the direct cohort to benefit from the materials.
Funding for the opportunity ranges from USD 125,000 to USD 150,000, with an expected total of one award. The funding instrument is a discretionary grant. The opportunity is listed under CFDA 19.501 and is administered by the Department of State, U.S. Mission to Pakistan. The Notice of Funding Opportunity number is SCAISB 22 AW 020 01262022. The original posting date was January 26, 2022, and the original application deadline was March 28, 2022. Applicants are expected to clearly map out an 18-month timeline in their proposal, showing how the needs assessment, policy and manual development, training delivery, implementation support, and public-facing resource publication will be sequenced and completed.Apply for SCAISB 22 AW 020 01262022
