The Secretary's Full Participation Fund: Building a National Women's Caucus is a U.S. Embassy Yaounde (U.S. Mission to Cameroon) grant opportunity designed to strengthen women's civic leadership and political participation in Cameroon. The central purpose is to elevate women's voices in governance by helping women leaders work together more effectively, communicate shared priorities, and engage more women in democratic processes and public decision-making. In practical terms, the program is framed around building the foundations of a national women's caucus and improving coordination among women serving in elected and appointed roles, along with women-led civic organizations.
The funded project is expected to deliver a training program across three regions in Cameroon. A key feature of the design is that the training should be led by an American non-profit organization, signaling a preference for U.S.-based technical expertise or facilitation in civic engagement, leadership development, and coalition-building. The intended participants are all 106 leading female Cameroonian leaders currently in office and public life, representing a broad cross-section of national and local government as well as civil society. The participant group explicitly includes 21 Senators, 56 Deputies in the National Assembly, and 29 Mayors, and also references Ministers and women's non-profit civic organizations, reflecting an emphasis on connecting legislative, executive, municipal, and civil society leadership into one coordinated network.
Substantively, the training focus areas include voter registration (with the broader goal of encouraging electoral participation and ensuring women are fully represented in the voter base), creating common platforms (meaning shared agendas or coordinated policy priorities that women leaders can collectively advance), and strategies for engaging women in decisions that affect their lives at every level of governance. The opportunity is therefore not only about individual leadership skills, but also about building collective influence, improving collaboration, and creating mechanisms for sustained advocacy and joint action among women leaders nationwide.
From an administrative standpoint, this is a grant (Funding Instrument Type: Grant) issued under an earmark category, with a community development focus (Funding Activity Category: Community Development) and listed under CFDA 19.801. The funding opportunity number is AFYDE SFPF GR PAS 2016. The award ceiling is USD 56,187, and the agency anticipated making up to 10 awards. Eligibility is directed toward foreign not-for-profit organizations (listed under Eligible Applicants as "Others" and clarified in the description as foreign not-for-profit organizations), meaning non-U.S. nonprofit entities may apply, though the project itself must incorporate leadership by an American non-profit organization as described. The original application closing date was September 1, 2016, and the opportunity was posted on July 29, 2016.
Application instructions and official submission details were provided through the U.S. Embassy Yaounde webpage at http://yaounde.usembassy.gov/secfullpartfund.html, which applicants were expected to consult for required formats, budgets, and compliance steps.Apply for AFYDE SFPF GR PAS 2016
