What the grant funds

A. PROGRAM DESCRIPTION The U.S. Embassy Luanda Public Diplomacy Section (PDS) of the U.S. Department of State is pleased to announce this Request for Statements of Interest (SOI) from organizations interested in applying for funding of program proposals that strengthen ties between the people of the United States and Angola through cultural and exchange programs that highlight our shared values and promote bilateral cooperation. This is an Annual Program Statement, outlining our funding priorities and the procedures for submitting requests for funding. Please carefully follow all instructions below. The submission of a SOI is the first step in a two-part process. Applicants must first submit a SOI, which is a concise, one-to-two page concept note in English, designed to clearly communicate a program idea and its objectives before the development of a full proposal application. The purpose of the SOI process is to allow applicants the opportunity to submit program ideas for PDS to evaluate prior to requiring the development of full proposal applications. Upon review of eligible SOIs, PDS will invite selected applicants to expand their ideas into full proposal applications. Program Objectives: These small grants intend to strengthen ties and build relationships between the United States, Angola, and São Tomé and Principe through activities that highlight shared values, goals, and cooperation. All proposals must have a strong American cultural element, or a connection with American expert/s, organization/s, or institution/s in a specific field that will promote increased understanding of U.S. policy and perspectives. Examples of PAS-funded programs include, but are not limited to: ● Academic and professional lectures, seminars, and speaker programs; ● Artistic and cultural programs, joint performances, and exhibitions involving the work of American artists or American subjects; ● Cultural heritage conservation and preservation programs; ● Programs that expand PDS American Corners and American Spaces activities; ● Professional and academic exchanges and programs; ● Media training; ● Programs developed by an alumnus/a of a U.S.-government sponsored educational or professional exchange program; ● Experiential learning activities (e.g. Model UN, Model Government). Note: Proposed programs may take place virtually or in-person with public health protocols in place, or a combination of both.
