Opportunity Information: Apply for PE DHAKA FY2020 0601
The 2021 Fiscal Transparency Innovation Fund in Bangladesh is a U.S. Department of State funding opportunity released by the U.S. Embassy in Dhaka in coordination with the Department of State's Bureau of Economic and Business Affairs. It is presented as a discretionary Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) designed to support a focused governance and economic accountability objective in Bangladesh: improving the transparency and accountability of state-owned enterprises (SOEs). In practical terms, the opportunity is aimed at projects that can help strengthen how SOEs disclose information, how they are overseen, and how the public and other stakeholders can understand and evaluate their financial and operational performance.
The award is structured as a cooperative agreement rather than a standard grant, which typically signals closer involvement by the U.S. government in the project during implementation (for example, coordination on activities, milestones, or deliverables). The program anticipates making a single award, with an award ceiling of up to USD 247,500. The funding source is FY 2020 Economic Support Funds, and the award is explicitly contingent on the availability of funds at the time of issuance. The planned period of performance is 24 months, giving the implementer up to two years to carry out activities and achieve results.
From an administrative standpoint, the opportunity is identified as Funding Opportunity Number PE DHAKA FY2020 0601, with a creation date of June 17, 2021, and an original application closing date of July 26, 2021. The funding activity category is listed as Business and Commerce, and the CFDA (assistance listing) number associated with the opportunity is 19.662. The legal authority for the funding is the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961, as amended, which is a common statutory basis for U.S. foreign assistance programs that support governance, economic policy reform, and institutional strengthening.
Eligibility is broadly described as "Others" with additional clarification referenced in the full announcement text (the "Additional Information on Eligibility" section). That phrasing usually indicates that applicants may include a range of organization types depending on the specific eligibility rules in the NOFO, such as non-profits, non-governmental organizations, research institutions, or other entities that can demonstrate the capacity to implement a transparency and accountability-focused project. The core takeaway is that the fund is intended to back one implementer with a two-year program and a moderate budget to produce concrete improvements in SOE fiscal transparency and oversight in Bangladesh under close coordination with the U.S. government.Apply for PE DHAKA FY2020 0601
