What the grant funds

Important! To successfully submit a proposal, you must visit the U.S. Embassy Accra's website for more information and a complete set of instructions. A. PROGRAM DESCRIPTION The U.S. Embassy Accra Public Diplomacy Section (PDS) of the U.S. Department of State announces an open competition for organizations to submit a statement of interest (SOI) to carry out the U.S. Embassy Accra Grants Program that aligns with our current strategic themes and policy priorities (listed below). Please carefully follow all instructions. The submission of the SOI is the first step in a two-step process. Applicants must first submit a statement of interest designed to clearly communicate program idea and objectives to include a concise concept note not to exceed 3 pages and a one-page budget with a solid budget narrative justification. This is not a call for a full proposal. The purpose of the SOI process is to allow applicants to submit program ideas for evaluation prior to requiring the development of a full proposal application. Upon a merit review of eligible SOIs, selected applicants will be invited to expand on their program idea(s) by submitting a full proposal application. Full proposals will go through a second merit review before final funding decision(s) are made. SOIs may be submitted for consideration through March 24, 2024, 23:59 GMT. PURPOSE OF U.S. EMBASSY ACCRA GRANTS PDS Accra invites SOIs for programs that strengthen ties and build relationships between the United States and Ghana through activities that highlight shared values and promotes bilateral cooperation. All programs must include a strong American element and/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) that will promote increased understanding of U.S. policy and perspectives. Priority will be given to projects that yield concrete, measurable results. Projects consisting solely of conferences or roundtable discussions, speaker series, theoretical research or surveys, or the writing or publishing of books, are unlikely to be funded.
