The Embassy encouraged organizations to submit during normal business hours (Monday through Thursday, 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM GMT) to reduce last-minute technical risks, and it directed applicants with technical submission issues to contact the point of contact identified in Section G of the NOFO (or to use PolEconBanjul@state.gov for technical submission questions). Reasonable accommodations could be requested for applicants with disabilities or for security reasons, but the notice explicitly states that accommodations do not include deadline extensions.
