What the grant funds

A. PROGRAM DESCRIPTION Executive Summary: U.S. Mission Kazakhstan’s Public Diplomacy Sections (PDS) are pleased to announce a funding opportunity through the Mission’s Democracy Commission Small Grants Program (SGP). This program historically supported capacity building of democratic institutions and civil society in Kazakhstan by competitively awarding small grants to Kazakhstan’s nonprofit organizations and civil society. This year's focus will strive to measure and evaluate the impact of previous small grants awarded to independent NGOs and CSOs spanning the last 15 years. The second project focus is to help create a network of previous SGP grantees. This NOFO solicits proposals from organizations that will be able to deliver the program outcomes specified below. Organizations based in Kazakhstan with a proven M&E track record or a track record in data analysis and convening of networks are encouraged to apply. Applicants should pay close attention to the Public Diplomacy Section’s goals, priority program areas, target audiences, and monitoring & evaluation priorities when developing their proposals. Background: Since its inception in 2008, the Small Grants Program (SGP) of the U.S. Mission to Kazakhstan has supported the development of a robust and healthy civil society in Kazakhstan. Through the provision of small grants, civil society organizations have been equipped to work effectively with local, regional, and national governments, leveraging their resources and influence to enact meaningful change. Furthermore, SGP initiatives have sparked widespread interest within the civic community, igniting conversations and fostering a sense of collective responsibility towards tackling common challenges. Projects funded through SGP encompass a wide array of critical issues, ranging from environmental sustainability and climate resilience to combating trafficking in persons, promoting alternative energy sources, and advocating for transparency in governance. These projects represent a diverse spectrum of concerns, reflecting the multifaceted nature of grassroots challenges. In line with our commitment to continuous improvement, the current funding opportunity will focus on monitoring and evaluation. By systematically assessing the impact of past projects, we aim to gain deeper insights into how these initiatives have influenced key issue areas.
