What the grant funds

The Political and Economic Section of the U.S. Embassy in Yaoundé, Cameroon announces an open competition for organizations to submit applications under the FY2022 Africa Regional Democracy Fund program. Proposals should address projects that will either: (i) advance human rights and fundamental freedoms by supporting local organizations efforts to promote human rights systems, policies, and protection, or (ii) advance citizen engagement to hold governments accountable, to participate in economic, political, governing, and other critical processes aimed at creating more peaceful, democratic, and pluralistic societies; promote citizen engagement in local decision-making processes, such as through participatory budgeting processes and public-private dialog for economic development priorities; or (iii) provide assistance that enables citizens to select and replace their leaders through periodic, inclusive, accountable, and free and fair elections. Note: The U.S. Embassy expects to receive funding for the ARDF program before September 30, 2023. Grant awards are contingent on the receipt of funding.
