The U.S. Department of State's Bureau of Cyberspace and Digital Policy has announced a Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) aimed at enhancing international data protection through a project entitled "Building International Data Protection and Capacity." This initiative is designed to support partner countries in developing legal frameworks that protect individual data privacy while facilitating cross-border data flows and digital trade. With a funding allocation of $1,000,000 for FY2023, the project seeks to award one cooperative agreement to eligible U.S.-based organizations, including non-profits, universities, and for-profit entities.
The project is structured around three main objectives: assisting countries in establishing effective data protection laws, building capacity within data protection authorities, and promoting multilateral cooperation for trusted data flows. Key activities will include workshops, training sessions, and legislative guidance. Applications must be submitted by July 29, 2024, and are subject to a detailed review for eligibility and merit based on specific criteria such as project design, organizational capacity, and sustainability.
