    Description:

    The U.S. Embassy Lome through this Notice of Funding Opportunity, is pleased to announce an open competition for organizations to submit applications to carry out a program to promote inclusive civic engagement and bolster strong and independent democratic institutions. 


    This program seeks to support broader inclusion, better transparency, increase accountability, empower vulnerable groups, and develop stronger institutions. Successful applicants must

    propose creative, ambitious solutions to improve Togo’s democracy. Proposals must focus on at least one of the following objectives. It is not necessary for a proposal to seek to address all of the below objectives. 

     

    Objective One: The policies, programs, and leadership of newly formed local councils are inclusive of marginalized groups. 

     

    Objective Two: Tools illuminating government records and financial information are widely available, easily usable, free of cost, and widely known so that citizens understand how Togo’s national and local governments raise and distribute public resources.


    Objective Three: Political misinformation and disinformation has been investigated and countered, and a cadre of investigators are empowered to continue promoting truth.

     

    Objective Four: Youth, women, and/or other marginalized groups lead civic organizing and political coalition building and train others in the same.
