Opportunity Information: Apply for FTI06142022
The Fiscal Transparency Innovation in Egypt opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number FTI06142022) is a U.S. Department of State grant designed to improve public understanding and oversight of the finances behind Egypt's major national development initiative known as Decent Life. The program is presented as the largest mega-project currently underway in Egypt, focused on upgrading rural areas and reducing poverty through large-scale government spending. Despite the prominence of the initiative and an announced budget of roughly 50 billion, the notice highlights that significant details about how funds are allocated and spent remain unclear, creating a need for stronger fiscal transparency measures.
At its core, the grant is aimed at supporting practical proposals that can strengthen transparency around Decent Life's budgeting, expenditures, and overall financial management. The project is structured around collaboration with Egyptian government counterparts, specifically through a partnership between U.S. Embassy Cairo and the Ministry of Finance's Transparency Unit. The intent is to build or improve tools, processes, and reporting approaches that make Decent Life's finances easier to track, understand, and scrutinize, whether by government stakeholders, oversight bodies, or the public, depending on what the full notice specifies and what an applicant proposes.
Administratively, this is a discretionary grant opportunity issued by the Department of State under Assistance Coordination, with activity categorized as "Other" (with additional clarification referenced in the full notice). The CFDA listing is 19.322. The opportunity anticipated making one award, with a maximum award size (ceiling) of USD 99,500, indicating a relatively targeted, pilot-sized effort rather than a large multi-year program. The funding opportunity was created on June 14, 2022, and the original application deadline was July 31, 2022.
Eligibility is not fully detailed in the summary text and is listed broadly as "Others," meaning applicants would need to consult the full notice of funding opportunity to confirm who may apply, what registrations are required, and how to submit. Overall, the grant is best understood as an initiative to test or implement concrete transparency innovations around a high-profile public spending program, with the explicit goal of making Decent Life's financial picture more visible and accountable through cooperation with Egypt's Ministry of Finance transparency mechanisms.Apply for FTI06142022
