The U.S. Department of State, through the Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs (INL), announced a discretionary grant opportunity to support the International Association of Women Judges (IAWJ) Morocco Chapter. This chapter was created in May 2016 after Moroccan women judges participated in international IAWJ events, including an IAWJ international conference in Washington, D.C. that INL helped facilitate by arranging attendance for several Moroccan women judges. The broader IAWJ network, founded in 1991, connects women judges across different legal systems around the world around shared priorities like strengthening the rule of law and advancing equal access to justice.

The purpose of the funding is capacity-building for the Morocco Chapter, with a strong emphasis on practical organizational development rather than casework or courtroom programming. INL is looking for an organization that can provide administrative and institutional support so the chapter can better handle internal management requirements, meet day-to-day administrative demands, and build the professional integrity of its staff. In other words, the project is meant to help the chapter become more professional, effective, credible, and operationally capable as an organization, so it can function sustainably and carry out its mission more efficiently.

This opportunity was issued as a cooperative agreement, which generally means the funder expects a more hands-on relationship during implementation compared with a standard grant, including coordination and involvement from INL as the project moves forward. The program falls under the Law, Justice and Legal Services activity area and is associated with CFDA number 19.703. The funding opportunity title is "International Association of Women Judges (IAWJ) Morocco Chapter," and the opportunity number is INL17CA0053 (also referenced as INLAMEIAWJMOROCCO 06122017).

Eligibility is limited to nonprofits with U.S. IRS 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education) and private institutions of higher education. The total maximum award amount (ceiling) is $100,000, and INL anticipated making one award. The opportunity was posted on June 12, 2017, with an original application deadline of August 11, 2017. Overall, the central objective is straightforward: strengthen the Morocco Chapter so it can operate with greater professionalism, integrity, and effectiveness, supported by an outside organization capable of delivering concrete administrative and institutional development assistance.
