Background
The International Foundation for Electoral
Systems (IFES) is an independent, non-governmental organization providing
professional support to electoral democracy. IFES promotes democratic stability
by providing technical assistance and applying field-based research to the
electoral cycle worldwide to enhance citizen participation and strengthen civil
societies, governance and transparency. In recognition of this commitment,
USAID has awarded IFES with the Election Administration Program (EAP).

Under the EAP Program, the goals of IFES’
Indonesia Women’s Leadership program are: 1) increase women's participation in
electoral administration, 2) prepare women to serve in different positions in
the electoral administration, 3) support stakeholders’ efforts to improve
election administration in Indonesia

Purpose
This Request for Applications (RFA) is
seeking a partner organization to implement a training program with IFES that
will enhance women’s participation in electoral administration in Indonesia,
funded by the United States Agency for International Development.

An award will be made only after IFES makes a positive
determination that the applicant possesses, or has the ability to obtain, the
necessary management competence to carry out the grant activity, and will
practice mutually agreed upon methods of accountability for funds and other
assets funded by the United States Agency for International Development. IFES
must be fully satisfied that the applicant has the capacity to adequately
