## What the grant funds

The U.S. Embassy in Mozambique of the U.S. Department of State announces an open competition for organizations to submit proposals to advance U.S. government stabilization goals through support for the youth arts program at the Provincial Cultural Center in Pemba in Cabo Delgado Province. This support is essential to providing the growing number of children and young adults living in the provincial capital with life skills and a safe outlet for self-expression, in the face of violent extremism ongoing in the region. This award will support the existing music, dance, and visual arts classes for youth in Pemba and will expand the classes to youth in Metuge. Part of the support includes furnishing the center to ensure proper equipment and conditions are in place for programming. A grant for up to $400,000 U.S. Dollars (USD) will be awarded (pending availability of funds) for work that will support program objectives. The period of performance is 18 months. Funding authority rests in Global Fragility Act (U.S. Strategy to Prevent Conflict and Promote Stability).

The Cultural Center is managed by the Provincial Directorate for Culture and Tourism in the province and serves as the main cultural center for residents in and around the provincial capital, Pemba. It also oversees a district cultural center in Chiure and is responsible for implementing cultural programs in Metuge. The ISIS-Mozambique insurgency has committed heinous acts of violence in Mozambique’s northern provinces, displacing nearly one million people, mainly women and children. The number of young people has increased exponentially in Pemba. Many are battling trauma from the violence they experienced in their communities of origin, struggling to settle in their new home, and living with limited employment opportunities, education, and other social services. Program Description & Objectives: The overarching long-term goal of the U.S.
