Opportunity Information: Apply for M NOFO 22 101
The U.S. Department of State, through the U.S. Mission to India (PAS Mumbai), offered a discretionary grant opportunity titled "Developing Gender-Inclusive Workplace Policies for Indian Companies" (Funding Opportunity Number: M NOFO 22 101). The purpose of the grant is to promote womens economic empowerment in India by helping Indian small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) improve how they attract, support, and retain female employees. The focus is practical and workplace-centered: building the capacity of company management and human resources leaders to design and implement policies that lead to better gender equity outcomes inside their organizations.
The core project approach is a structured program of training workshops delivered over an 18-month period. These workshops are intended to bring together American and Indian experts to present global best practices in gender-inclusive workplace policy and to share real-world experience on what works in different organizational settings. A major element of the design is the exchange component: U.S. counterparts are expected to contribute lessons learned and examples of policies and practices that have been successfully adopted, while also creating opportunities for networking between Indian SMEs and U.S. SMEs. The end goal is not just awareness-raising, but helping participating companies actually formulate, roll out, and enforce policies that make workplaces more inclusive for women.
The stated target is to train management and HR leaders from at least 100 SMEs within the 18-month project window. Training content is meant to translate into concrete organizational changes, such as improved internal practices, clearer policy frameworks, and stronger implementation and compliance mechanisms that support womens participation and advancement at work. While the announcement points readers to the full notice for details, the summary makes clear that success will be measured by the breadth of SME participation and by the ability of trained leaders to apply what they learn to improve gender equity within their companies.
