## What the grant funds

Funding Opportunity Title: U.S. Embassy Conakry, Ambassador Special Self-Help Program Annual Program Statement Funding Opportunity Number: DOS-CONAK-FY23-01 Deadline for Applications: For proposals to be considered for funding in 2024, the deadline is October 13, 2023 Assistance Listing Number: 19.220 Total Amount Available: $50,000 A. PROGRAM DESCRIPTION The U.S. Embassy in Conakry, Guinea announces an open competition for organizations to submit applications to carry out a program to support registered self-help groups, community-based organizations, non-governmental organizations, and certain educational institutions to develop projects that improve living conditions in their communities. Please follow all instructions below. Per 7008 restrictions, the U.S. government is prohibited from providing assistance to the Government of Guinea (including local institutions, such as schools and local government representatives) until a democratically elected government is installed. Projects cannot involve the participation of government officials or employees serving in their official capacity or occur in government-owned facilities. Program Objectives: The program is designed to improve basic economic and social conditions in local communities and support high impact, quick implementation activities that benefit a large number of people. Participating communities provide a significant contribution in cash, labor, and materials. The demand for Small Grant funds is very high and well above our funding capacity, so priority is given to projects which best meet the program’s objectives and criteria. Possible examples of U.S. Embassy Community Small Grants Program projects include: • Small construction projects – school rooms, community centers, health facilities, foot bridges, housing for community-paid nurses or teachers, workshops, community slaughterhouses, grain storage, rural airstrips for hospitals, and school dormitories for distant students. • Water-related projects – wells, latrines, pumps, bore holes, shower stalls and sinks, and fishponds. • School equipment and supplies – desks, chairs, laboratory equipment, and library items. • Communal construction equipment – brick-making machines. • Miscellaneous durable goods – stoves or refrigerators for a community-owned school or hospital, or washing machines for a community-owned clinic.
