##   Gang Resistance Education and Training (G.R.E.A.T.) Program Evaluation and Outcomes Study for El Salvador, Honduras, Panama, and Costa Rica

08/18/2021

10/18/2021

The purpose of this project is to evaluate the methods, outcomes, and effectiveness of the G.R.E.A.T. Program through scientifically validated data sources and studies conducted with kids who have completed the course curriculum since 2010 and their teachers, school principals, and parents. The evaluation will measure effectiveness of El Salvador, Honduras, Panama, and Costa Rica’s progress toward achieving the GREAT programs objectives among at risk youth. The targeted population is 170,767 at risk youth in El Salvador, 487,890 in Honduras, 150,000 in Panama, and 45,685 in Costa Rica; that have completed the program since 2010. The in-depth outcomes evaluation will determine changes in levels of gang affiliation, levels of violence perpetration, attitude toward the police, and perception of police in their communities, among these graduates and in comparison with students who have not been exposed to G.R.E.A.T.In order to better understand to what extent and how results were achieved, the implementer’s research team will conduct an analysis of the most relevant factors contributing to results, challenges hindering impact, and any unintended outcomes (if applicable). INL seeks to understand the effectiveness of the G.R.E.A.T. program to share the full results and best practices with relevant host nation and implementing partner counterparts, as well as limited information publicly. This study will provide relevant information for police in the target countries to tailor their approaches to at-risk youth and countering gang violence.INL in coordination with the El Salvador Civilian Police (PNC), the Honduras National Police (HNP), the Panama National Police (PNP), and the Public Force of Costa Rica (FPCR) will provide a database of the public schools in the targeted countries that have participated in the G.R.E.A.T. program. In addition, INL and the G.R.E.A.T. program implementer will provide a data base of the more than 2,300 certified officers in El Salvador including their specific geographic area/designated police delegation/sub-delegation, or post; and a database of the families of the kids that have participated in the G.R.E.A.T. program.Priority Region/Countries: El Salvador, Honduras, Panama, and Costa Rica

##   Entrepreneurial Approaches to Addressing Social Exclusion Factors of Vulnerable Youth in Jordan

03/20/2023

06/05/2023

The U.S. Embassy in Amman announces an open competition for eligible not-for-profit organizations to submit proposals to design and implement projects that leverage or build innovative digital platforms and channels to reach and engage with Jordanian youth to address one or more of the following challenges: Unemployment or underemployment of underserved youth outside Amman; lack of gender parity in the workforce, with an emphasis on women in security and justice sectors; gender-based violence, honor killings, substance use, and/or gang violence; and low rates of political participation among youth. Program Objectives: The Public Affairs Section at the U.S. Embassy in Amman is soliciting proposals from eligible organizations for innovative and inclusive whole-of-society approaches to engaging youth between 12-35 years of age that includes a component(s) of gaming/gamification and/or strategic communications campaigns in order to address factors of social exclusion and discontent among underserved or underrepresented youth in Jordanian society in an effort to help mitigate vulnerabilities to recruitment and radicalization. The program’s goals are to design audience-driven tools and projects that focus on building the critical thinking and problem solving skills of youth, aged 12-35, to ensure they are equipped with the skills and knowledge to remain proactive in identifying and addressing factors of social exclusion; push and pull factors influencing and driving recruitment efforts by extremist and violent groups; and building the skills of those most vulnerable to being exploited by malign actors, all in an effort to ensure participants are able to actively identify and mitigate rising and existing threats, and create and amplify alternative or counter narratives on identity, agency, and belonging. Proposals should outline how they support the Jordanian government’s efforts in building the capacity of youth. Successful applicants will plan to co-design audience-centric, partner-led, and contextually relevant programs and tools. Applicants should consider multi-stakeholder approaches that bring together or coordinate the actions of central and local government or law enforcement as well as civil society, religious communities, academia, the private sector, local accelerators and incubators. All proposals should include a digital media plan that provides an overview of how the awardee will leverage digital and traditional media to amplify the activities, progress, and results of the program, such as by sharing participant testimonials through podcasts or webisodes, to serve as a public awareness and prevention tool.

##   Women’s Youth Leadership Program

05/10/2023

06/12/2023

A. PROGRAM DESCRIPTION The U.S. Embassy Seoul Public Diplomacy Section (PD) of the U.S. Department of State is pleased to announce that funding is available for a youth women’s leadership program focused on supporting young women living in areas outside of Seoul. The Republic of Korea (ROK) is now one of the world’s most influential countries following decades of impressive economic growth and technological innovation, a boom in cultural exports, and public sector initiatives to establish the ROK as a “global pivotal state”. As like-minded democracies, both the ROK and the United States have a strong responsibility to make sure economic and social opportunities are open to all citizens, especially women. To support women’s economic opportunity, the U.S. Embassy in Seoul’s Public Diplomacy Section will create a leadership and mentorship cohort focused on building the skills of at least thirty South Korean aged 25-35 who represent diverse sectors of the economy and have shown the potential to grow as leaders in their respective fields. Through this program, participants will learn from American and Korean experts and their peers as well as broaden their professional networks in a supporting and collaborative environment. The U.S. Embassy seeks proposals from ROK-based organizations and individuals to run this inaugural program, focused on planning and implementing events, recruiting members, and building a strong support network that connects Korean and American women leaders. Strong preference will be given to proposals that include participants from outside of the Seoul metropolitan region and utilize our American Corner network (located in Pyeongtaek, Gangneung, Busan, Gwangju and Jeju) in addition to the American Diplomacy House in Seoul. Proposals should also include plans for monitoring and evaluation as well as follow-on alumni programs to ensure a lasting impact. Outputs/Outcomes This women youth leadership program will focus on developing their leadership skills, growing their global mindset, broadening their professional networking opportunities alongside other emerging women leaders, and supporting the next generation as mentors themselves. Details/Logistics U.S. Embassy Seoul and a grantee will be jointly responsible for vetting and selecting program participants. The U.S. government retains final approval authority for all participants, who will apply initially via a standardized application form on a public website with program information and associated information and social media campaigns. Participants should be between the ages of 25-35 years old, be fluent in English, be early in their careers, and have demonstrated the potential to grow as leaders in their professions. Grantee Expectations We expect the following distinct components of this program: · At least ten coaching and discussion sessions (either delivered in-person at our American Corners or virtually) · Interactive workshops on leadership at the American Diplomacy House Seoul · Follow-on activities for participants to serve as mentors for college students · Networking activities Virtual Engagements: The grantee will be responsible for organizing and implementing a series of virtual engagements with U.S. and/or Korean experts who can empower and provide coaching sessions to this group of selected participants. This virtual engagement should provide opportunities for participants to share their challenges, grow their leadership skills through professional coaching, and help them to develop their future plans. In-Person Workshop The leadership program will also include intensive leadership workshops at the American Diplomacy House Seoul, featuring guest experts, candid conversations about workplace challenges, and time for networking. Participants will also be asked to develop a personal “leadership action plan” and commit to serving as a mentor to at least one college student. As part of the workshop, Embassy Seoul will arrange engagements with senior women government leaders. Post Workshop Follow-On Following the workshop, the grantee will help participants to find their own college student mentee who they will work with, and support until participants are on board with mentoring for the first three-months. We will also give strong preference to programs with a detailed alumni engagement plan.

##   Trinidad and Tobago Youth Development and Diversion Grant

07/19/2023

09/30/2023

Overview: The Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs of the U.S. Department of State announces an open competition for organizations to submit applications to carry out a project providing a community-based solution to counter gang recruitment in selected communities of Trinidad and Tobago (TT). Countering the spread of criminal gangs is an INL Priority goal under mission goal 1, “Enhanced Citizen Security and Rule of Law’, objective 1.2 ‘Institutions support at-risk communities to address the underlying drivers of crime, gang involvement and violent extremism’, Sub Objective 1.2.1 ‘TT expands youth development and diversion programs to disincentivize gang involvement, strengthens juvenile justice systems, and improve relationships between law enforcement and at-risk communities’ Criminal gang activities drive violent crime and homicides in TT. This undermines public safety, negatively impacting livelihood, consumer confidence, foreign investment, and the ability of every citizen to enjoy peaceful and friendly communities. Lack of sustainable economic opportunities creates a climate for recruiting vulnerable youth into criminal gangs, leading to a decrease in the productive capacity of the young adult population between the ages of 18-35, especially males. Youth between the ages of 10 and 18 are more susceptible to societal and cultural ‘push’ factors, and ‘pull’ factors within the gang itself. Familial factors such as parental drug and alcohol abuse, violence at home, and parental criminality or gang membership are amongst the strongest predictors or delinquency and gang involvement. Community ‘push’ factors linked to joining gangs include social disorganization, availability of firearms, access to drugs and cultural norms supporting gang behavior. Youth may be pushed towards gang culture to resist structural violence they experience in their own community. In addition, the presence of pre-existing gangs correlates strongly with furth
