The U.S. Department of State, Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor (DRL) announces an open competition, funded through the Gender Equity and Equality Action Fund, for organizations interested in advancing the role of women in the global labor movement.

A. PROGRAM DESCRIPTION Executive Summary: U.S. Embassy Dushanbes Public Diplomacy Section (PDS) announces an open competition to implement the Academy for Women Entrepreneurs (AWE) in Tajikistan, a program that seeks to elevate the economic livelihood of 25 women in Panjakent District. The Academy of Women Entrepreneurs (AWE) is a global program that was established by the U.S. State Department's Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs in 2019 to provide women with the knowledge, networks, and access to launch or scale successful businesses. By promoting womens economic opportunities and ensuring that women have the capabilities and resources needed to participate in the economy, the AWE program directly supports the U.S. National Strategy on Gender Equity and Equality. Background: Due to the high rate of male labor migration and unemployment, more Tajik women are considering how to financially support their households. However, womens entrepreneurial activities are highly dependent on the effectiveness of the business environment in the country. Successful small business development creates new employment opportunities in Tajikistan and helps women support themselves and their families. Small businesses are fast becoming the main source of income for women in Tajikistan. Panjakent, a former trading city on the ancient Silk Road, is located in a strategic geographic area bordering Uzbekistan. After a 25-year hiatus, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan have restrengthened bilateral ties, and both countries are working to expand trade and economic cooperation with each other. In this manner, they have established free economic zones where businesspeople can put their ventures to work. The city of Panjakent and its surroundings is home to unique natural beauty, newly recognized UNESCO cultural heritage sites, and agricultural projects - all of which makes it a strategic location to empower women to advance economic and human development. The skills that women will learn through AWE will not only be valuable to establish stronger economic independence for themselves but also to contribute to more cross-border trade with neighboring Uzbekistan. Project Audience(s): The primary audience is approximately 25 Tajik women in Panjakent District who have some entrepreneurial skills, either with the capacity to scale-up current ventures in hospitality management, eco-tourism, and trade, or with experience working at local markets, such as in the areas of agricultural products, handicrafts, artisan products, or in service industries such as beauty parlors and sewing. Recruitment Criteria: a) Women aged 18 to 45. b) Holding high school and/or university degrees. c) Approximately 1-2 years business experience. d) Motivation to engage in long-term business or entrepreneurial activity. e) Must reside in the district of Panjakent or nearby villages. f) Womens leadership experience. g) Community service experience. h) Some English proficiency preferred, but not a requirement. In coordination with PDS Dushanbe, the implementer will organize informational meetings to spread the word about the project, its goals, objectives, and vision, and identify current or aspiring entrepreneurs in Panjakent District. This could include information sessions at American Space Panjakent and other relevant NGO offices and entities, but also outreach with flyers provided to target women working in local markets in the specified fields. Project Goal: To elevate the economic livelihood of current or aspiring women entrepreneurs in hospitality management, eco-tourism, trade, and handicrafts in Panjakent to support the tourism infrastructure of Panjakent District. Project Objectives: Objective 1: Improve women entrepreneurs confidence and motivation in pursuing and growing their businesses. Objective 2: Increase the ability of women from the Panjakent region to create and grow their businesses in hospitality management, eco-tourism, and trade through targeted training and mentorship activities. Training topics may include but are not limited to: U.S. small business best practices, business plan development, marketing, accounting, financial management, investment and financing, leadership, strategic planning, business registration, and more. Objective 3: Increase women entrepreneurs awareness and knowledge of tourism initiatives and business opportunities in Panjakent. Objective 4: Increase women entrepreneurs abilities to apply for funding opportunities, including grants, loans, and investments, to fuel their business growth and attract potential investors. Project Activities: Select 25 women entrepreneurs for the AWE project in Panjakent. Provide women entrepreneurs with the knowledge, networks, and access to launch or scale successful businesses in Panjakent through online and in-person trainings. This could include a mentoring program or other form of connection with the business community. Use the online training platform DreamBuilder to teach participants the fundamentals of starting or growing a small business from a U.S. perspective, offering modules on marketing, pricing, and bookkeeping, and includes a built-in business plan generator. Organize sessions to increase entrepreneurs understanding of the tourism potential of the region; this could include a three-day business tour to the city of Samarkand in Uzbekistan, which holds high potential for cross-border tourism and trade. Organize and hold a final pitch event, inviting potential investors to provide feedback. B.
