What the grant funds

*Download the Full Announcement and Instructions Under Related Documents Tab* A. PROGRAM DESCRIPTION The U.S. Embassy Ghana Public Affairs Section (PAS) of the U.S. Department of State announces a Request for Statements of Interest (RSOI) from organizations interested in applying for funding for program proposals that strengthen ties and build relationships between the United States and Ghana. PAS Accra invites organizations interested in potential funding to submit Statements of Interest outlining program concepts that reflect this goal. This is an Annual Program Statement, which is an open-ended, annual funding opportunity to generate competition for new awards. Please carefully follow all instructions below. The submission of a Statement of Interest (SOI) is the first step in a two-part process. Applicants must first submit an SOI, which is a concise concept note (maximum 3 pages) that describes your program idea and its objectives before the development of a full proposal application. Upon review of eligible SOIs, PAS will invite selected applicants to expand their ideas into full proposal applications. SOIs may be submitted for consideration by February 1, 2022. The purpose of this small grants program is to strengthen ties and build relationships between the United States and Ghana through activities that highlight shared values, goals, and cooperation. All programs must include a strong, central American element, or connection with American expert(s), organization(s), or institution(s) (separate and beyond any involvement with the U.S. Embassy or its American Corners) and have as a primary goal the promotion of increased understanding of American values, perspectives, and policies and relationship building between Americans and Ghanaians. Examples of PAS Small Grants Programs include, but are not limited to -Academic or professional speaker programs involving an American speaker, either in person or virtual; -Artistic and cultural programs, joint performances, or exhibitions involving the work of American artists or American subject matter; -Programs that expand PAS American Corners and American Spaces activities; -Programs developed by an alumnus/a of a U.S.-government sponsored educational or professional exchange program; -Roundtables, panels, and workshops; and -Media training. Note: Proposed programs may take place virtually or in-person with public health protocols in place, or a combination of both.
