    The document outlines a framework for conducting gender analysis as mandated by the Women, Peace, and Security Act of 2017. This analysis is essential for improving the efficacy of U.S. government-funded programs by examining how different genders—men, women, boys, and girls—are uniquely affected by such initiatives. It provides a set of guiding questions organized into key domains, including laws and policies, cultural norms, gender roles, access to resources, and patterns of power. Each category prompts the examination of existing inequalities, societal expectations, and potential unintended consequences of program implementations. By engaging with local communities and considering factors such as identity, autonomy, and existing gender dynamics, the analysis seeks to identify gaps and opportunities for enhancing program design. The ultimate goal is to ensure equitable participation and benefit-sharing among all genders, acknowledging the influence of social structures on resource control and decision-making. This structured approach aids in addressing gender disparities, which is crucial for the success of government initiatives, and aligns with broader federal priorities in ensuring gender equity in policy and programming.

    The document outlines the Request for Proposals (RFP) under Opportunity Number DFOP0016645, aimed at facilitating social and economic inclusion for repatriated Tunisians. The initiative targets Tunisians who have forcibly or voluntarily returned from foreign countries, focusing on providing economic support to repatriated migrants while also extending psychological and social support to their close family members. Key points include the eligibility of various organizations to implement the project, emphasizing the need for experience in the MENA region. The program aims to consist of training that aligns with beneficiaries' needs, including legal frameworks related to migration. There is an expectation for regional representation in project targeting, along with an undefined gender distribution of beneficiaries based on the identification process. Additionally, the document addresses technical details regarding application access through MyGrants, stressing the necessity for applicants to have appropriate accounts for submission. This RFP reflects a U.S. government commitment to collaborate closely with the Tunisian government in supporting returning migrants and enhancing their social and economic reintegration.
