## What the grant funds

Priority Region: EUR (Ukraine) The U.S. Department of State Office of the Assistance Coordinator for Europe and Eurasia (EUR/ACE) has launched the eleventh round of the DCP program in Ukraine to continue building U.S. foreign assistance partnerships with 11 eligible partner donor governments in Central and Eastern Europe: Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Romania, Slovakia, and Slovenia. Through the DCP initiative, the United States builds partnerships with these partner donor countries by co-financing joint foreign assistance activities aimed at sharing the PDGs’ transition and EU integration experiences with Ukraine, and promoting Ukraine’s legislative, economic, social, and technological approximation to EU standards. EUR/ACE has identified the following priority objectives for the eleventh round of DCP funding: Energy and Cyber Security Access to Western Markets Strengthening Resilience through Democratic Consolidation Societal Resilience & Protection. Programmatic Restrictions: The DCP Program is limited to the abovementioned key thematic areas, and is unable to consider proposals that involve: · Physical infrastructure projects, including reconstruction, renovations, repair works. · Humanitarian assistance, including the provision of emergency food, shelter, or relief commodities to vulnerable populations. · Humanitarian demining operations. Participants and Audiences: DCP Program only accepts proposal for consideration with 50% of the total cost secured by one of the partner donor governments, the other 50% should be requested from the DCP. No single DCP contribution may exceed $500,000. Most DCP projects are funded through grants in the DCP of $30,000 - $100,000, with a DCP maximum of $500,000. Multiple PDG partners may contribute to the same activities, and implementing organizations may include government entities, research institutions, and/or nongovernmental organizations. Most DCP activities will likely entail co-financing new projects. U.S. Embassy Kyiv, however, may consider other means of collaboration, such as co-financing existing U.S. or PDG assistance activities or enhancing ongoing U.S. assistance activities by facilitating the participation of PDG officials or PDG-identified experts.
