The Public Affairs Section (PAS), U.S. Embassy Bridgetown, of the U.S. Department of State announces an open competition for eligible candidates to submit applications to carry out a program to encourage young women in the Eastern Caribbean to increase their personal involvement in civic participation, including community organizing and elections.

Program Objectives

In an effort to encourage greater female participation in politics and government in the Caribbean, PAS Bridgetown launched the Women in Politics Leadership Institute (WIPLI) in 2020.

The weekly workshops presented by American and regional facilitators underscored the United States’ celebration of the 100th anniversary of the ratification of the 19th Amendment, granting women the right to vote in the United States.  Post is inviting proposals from eligible applicants to host the second cohort of this program.
